‼️ 🚨 ‼️ 🚨 ‼️ 🚨 ‼️ 🚨 ‼️ 🚨 ‼️ 🚨
Looking for a medical foster for our sweet girl, Fern! She has been doing okay in her current foster home, but because of pain from a previous injury, we believe a quieter home would be more beneficial. A home with no other animals and low activity levels, where she can relax and be pampered without having to share resources, is ideal. She is currently on a restricted activity schedule, so walks aren’t recommended or in her best interest. We would prefer an experienced foster as she is currently on medication to manage pain.

Please email us at [email protected] if you are interested in helping our girl out!

New year, new you? Great! Start the year off with a new family member! New year, same you? We get it, but you could still use a new buddy!

To learn more about any of our animals below, email us at [email protected]. Don’t make one of these good boys and girls wait another day for a fresh start!

UPDATE: REUNITED!! Mo is home safe & sound after 7 days, 1 hours :)

Please spread the word for this lost cat. Mo was LOST on December 18, 2024 in Royal Oak, MI 48073 near Manor & Cresthill, Royal Oak (Near 14 & Crooks)

Description: - Gray and white shorthair
- He is very friendly and likes to hide in grges and under warm cars.
- He does not like boxes or crates
- He is ~16, but is still a very capable indoor/outdoor cat
- He will refuse to use a litter box and insist on going outside for the bathroom

He got lost last month and we ended up finding him all the way in Berkely. We have decided that he will no longer be allowed to go outside without supervision.

We couldn’t let our pups have all the fun! Be honest. When you set up your Christmas tree, you thought, “you know what this tree needs? A cat to climb inside of it.” Lucky for you, we’ve got ‘em! Check out our feline friends, and then email us at [email protected] to start the holiday shenanigans!

Poor Gingerbread Man never saw it comin…not from Good Girl Fern at least! This pup is a crowd favorite, but still doesn’t have a family to call her own. Please consider fostering her for the holidays. She promises to be good, and to leave your cookies alone!

How about fostering a dog for the holidays?! We’ve got pups from both sides of Santa’s list, and we’d love for them to meet the Big Guy himself on Christmas Eve! Check our list once, twice, maybe even a third time, and then email us at [email protected] to get the holiday cheer flowing!

Please spread the word for this lost cat. Jackie was LOST on October 15, 2024 in Royal Oak, MI 48067 near 11mile/Main Street, Royal Oak

Message from Owner: Our beloved cat Jackie didn’t come last night, not even for dinner-which is very untypical of her.
We let her play outside during the day but she is always eagerly waiting to come in by dusk.
She’s a real spitfire tabby, very vocal, quite a bit sassy, and generally very loving and friendly. We miss her dearly and are very worried.
Kicking myself for not having an airtag or microchip.
Please, if you have any sign of her, get ahold of us. She is our first baby.

Description: Petite tabby, very vocal, friendly, sassy
