When a mom and her son, Bobby, adopt a momma cat and her son, Bobby...
We are very thankful for the folks who choose to adopt.

#adoptDuncan
This extremely handsome fella is Duncan and he is ready to meet his new family.
Duncan was welcomed back into our program a few months ago when he had a urinary emergency. He's fully recovered and on a special diet to support his urinary health. Just eight years ago, Duncan and his siblings were rescued near the Atascadero Lake/Charles Paddock Zoo. He has since lived with other cats and dogs (but was very nervous about the dogs) preferring to keep his distance.
A quieter home would be ideal for this lovely cat.
Duncan and his emotional support floofy wand are ready to relocate to a new, loving home.
He is neutered, vaccinated, viral tested and microchipped.

Special adoption fee: $50
Duncan is...
Seven, sweet, silly, snuggly and shy to start.
He leans in and lets you know you're not alone.
And now it's time he matches with a wonderful home of his own.
To meet this beautiful boy, please call or text 805-619-0588 or message us here.

This may be the most lack luster wrestling match... but these boys are nothing short of spectacular and are awesome kitties.
Approximately 5 months old, neutered, viral tested, current on vaccines and flea treatments and, of course, microchipped. Special $95 (two-fur-one) adoption fee to one lucky family.

STEP 2: Thank yourself for sharing! π
We had a pretty great time at Arroyo Grande Parks & Rec's *Bark In The Park* today to celebrate this community's connection to our beloved canine companions. Carrie Van Beveren poured her heart and soul into this day and we thank her for asking us to join in on the festivities.
If anyone ever wonders if they can make a positive difference...
If you're able to lead with kindness and try your best,
the answer will always, always be YES.
This little girl was one of the teeniest of the 15 Paso riverbed kittens. She was seriously struggling. But, with TLC and time, she is growing bigger and stronger everyday.

PURRincesses Gertie, Winnie, Clementine and Amelia are now about 5 weeks old and they are ready to rule the world... #girlsrule #animalsinneed #kittens #adoptdontshop
They are resilient little kittens and, considering they were without their mom at about 10 days old, the odds were stacked against them. I'm so relieved to see they are growing bigger and stronger each and every day. -libby
It was an afternoon of sunshine and Goldens...all in the name of gathering for a good cause. We are very thankful of the SLO County Golden Retriever Group (a non profit, themselves) for inviting us again this year as the beneficiary of their annual 'Goldens In The Park' fundraising event. It was our pleasure to join them on this beautiful central coast day...to see dogs and their families having a blast.
We are able to answer the critical, life improving, life saving needs of our SLO pet families and animals in need because of supportive efforts just like this. #thegoodstuff

Ohhh, a big ol' thanks and hugs to the Trilogy Pet Club Crew for hosting another fundraiser/pet food/supply drive to support local non-profit animal organizations like ours! We joined them this afternoon with Butterfly, Cricket, Ladybug and Bumble Bee in tow and they did great for their FURst big adventure out of their foster home. #kittensinharnesses
It is always awesome to see folks show such kindness and compassion for animals and pet families in need.
We sincerely appreciate their time and energy organizing this event..
When life gives you kittens.

Our Santa Barbara and SLO Counties are bursting at the seams with animals needing our help. We are able to say yes, if you want to become a part of something wonderful.

When an advocate with the Paso Robles Hope & Faith Street Outreach called seeking assistance with a rapidly growing colony of cats living in a Paso riverbed homeless encampment, we knew we had to do something to help. This is out of our normal territory, but suffering knows no boundaries and neither should kindness. We learned there were 17+ adults and at least 18 kittens with one unhoused family taking it upon themselves to try and care for these cats. With their limited resources, they have been doing the best they can....buying food and supplies from the local Grocery Outlet and Tractor Supply and trying to keep the kittens safe from the resident (and very large) roosters. Our top priority is, of course, to have all cats spayed and neutered and thankfully, Woods North County could help us quickly get the adult cats on the surgery schedule. Twelve adult cats will be spayed and neutered by the end of this week and returned to the area, so this is a positive start. We also visited the encampment yesterday to start addressing the upper respiratory infections all of the kittens are suffering from...eye medication and supportive sub-cutaneous fluids were given to all of the kittens and the family will continue to administer the antibiotic eye meds as directed. All cats and kittens also received flea prevention treatments. (Thanks to our friend and Elanco Rep, Susan Holt).
Our local rescue groups, humane societies and shelters are overwhelmed and beyond capacity, yet we still hope to provide a chance for these young, friendly and sweet kittens to have brighter futures.
How can we do this?
With the help of new foster families.
We hope that by working together, we can make a PAWsitive impact in the lives of animals in need.
If you would like to join our foster team or the foster team of another local rescue, HS or shelter, please reach out and I can help conn
Get a load of this lil' girl...
2 weeks into life with a bright future.
But in the meantime.
It's nap time. Zzzzzzz
Our local counties have cats and kittens pouring out from every direction.
How can you help?
πββ¬ Spay and neuter - this is THE number one way to prevent suffering. Not sure how to make this happen? Please ask and we will help.
πββ¬ Donate - our program is able to provide subsidized, low cost spay/neuter services, complete veterinary care for our foster animals and financial assistance to pet families in need because YOU...our caring community members step up. It takes a village and we have a wonderful one.
Online donations from our C4P/AINF donor site or click the donate button here on FB. π https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E343434&id=28
πββ¬ Foster - it means the difference between life and death.
πββ¬ Adopt - and you don't even have to adopt from us (although, we *do* have many lovely feline friends needing wonderful families to care about them). Just adopt, dang it.
πββ¬ Volunteer! - the C.A.R.E.4Paws mobile vet team is always looking for help as they travel throughout SB and SLO Counties providing affordable spay/neuter/wellness care to family pets. And look, here's easy access to the volunteer form π https://form.jotform.com/233098933760161
πββ¬ Do you have rental homes? Please, pleassssse consider making them pet-friendly. One of the top reasons families are forced to surrender their pet is because of the severe lack of pet-friendly housing.
πββ¬ Please share...

Hi all! Please help us welcome Jewel into our foster PURRogram. Although her life has been flipped upside down, when her mom was transferred into a memory care home, she has adjusted very well. All she wants to do is settle into your lap, cuddle under the blankets with you, play with her toys and then it's back to more snuggling.
She is 5yrs old, vaccinated, microchipped and a healthy, happy girl. Please share to help us match Jewel with a new, wonderful family. She is located in San Luis Obispo County.
Interested in meeting her?
Please complete our quick online adoption interest form. www.ainfund.org/adopt-a-pet

Very, very thankful for our caring community... The Trilogy Pet Club shared with us some of the bounty of donations from their pet supply/food drive they hosted last month. This will help us care for our foster kitties in the coming months...as well as helping to feed managed community cats!
We are grateful. πΎ
