Stop in soon to see our new, improved, larger and separate book store/ crystal shop!
You can still go to the other side to see the cats, but now there are doors that separate the rescue from the store so those with allergies will hopefully be able to visit us more.

We now have a vintage area up on the stage, lots of cozy places to sit, thousands upon thousands of books, a couple cats running around of course (being a rescue, we can’t completely eliminate them, but we have greatly reduced the number), crystals, pet supplies and more!

We still have some boxes to unpack, but we are making lots of headway. All the newer fiction is out, the kid’s section is done, and we are slowly making our way through non-fiction and the vintage area.

Hope to see you soon! 😁

This Saturday! Use the same entrance as usual!

We’re at Capacity… But Some Calls Can’t Wait!

Right now, our rescue is bursting at the seams — over 200 cats and kittens are in our care, plus other pets! 🐾 Because we believe in giving each animal the best possible care, we simply can’t take in more than we can handle. Sadly, that means we’ve had to turn away many requests lately.

But when it’s an emergency, we can’t look the other way. 💔

Yesterday, one of our incredible volunteers, Jan, ventured into Loblolly Marsh after hearing about a tiny, starving kitten crying out for help. A visitor had heard the kitten and tried to catch her, but the scared baby was too frightened to come close. With patience, love, and a little wet food magic, Jan coaxed her out and brought her to safety.

Meet Lolly — safe, warm, and finally full. She’ll be looking for her forever family soon!

📢 Until then, please remember: the best way to help us say “yes” to more animals like Lolly is by adopting, fostering, or donating. Every space we free up could mean the difference between life and death.
