🚨 Breaking News: Booboo Tackles Agility Training 🚨
Booboo, our beloved Queen of The INN Between, has bravely entered “agility training”.
In what can only be described as a "strongly worded protest," Booboo made her way over hurdles and around cones. Then she promptly sat down for what we assume is a well-deserved snack break.
While she’s still highly suspicious that this is all part of a “weight loss camp conspiracy,” she’s keeping her spirits (and sass) high, as any queen would!

Recently the mother of one of our co-founders said goodbye to her beloved companion of 20 years, a little cat named Puali'i.
While we can never fully fill the void of a lost pet, she had a truly wonderful experience getting to interact with these animals.
If you're interested in making a difference, consider joining us as a cat room volunteer. Your time and love can truly transform the lives of these cats!

It's #Caturday but foster kitty Mow Mow doesn't quite realize he's not a doggo. This trio loves to pounce, play, and purr. He'll be reuniting with his person next month. We 💚 our Foster Sitters who open their hearts and homes to care for people experiencing some challenges. #caturdayvibes

Thanks so much to everyone who shared the orangies, Simba and Mufasa, looking for a new home after their owner passed away. Their Foster Sitter had a friend who was interested in adopting them. The only challenge is she lives in Oregon!
But thanks to one of our incredible and dedicated transport volunteers, Karen, she was able to take them half way to meet the adopter.
While of course this is not the outcome we thought would happen, we're so thankful for our community who rallied around them to find their next home. 💚💚
We had the opportunity to photograph and interview several of our crisis sheltering families who have been reunited and are thriving. We can't wait to share more!
Thanks to Baby Doge Coin for making these reunions possible!
