Two Years. 💜💜💜

It’s hard to put into words what these past two years have meant to me. Grateful doesn’t cover it. Thank You is not enough.

We’ve adopted 186 cats into their fur-ever homes. 😺
We’ve met so many cool people. 💕
We’ve hosted a ton of fantastic events. 🧘🧶📘
We’ve made some damn good coffee drinks. ☕️

And I feel like we are just getting started. 😺😺😺

Thank you to everyone who stopped by this weekend to offer congratulations, grab a coffee, drop off a donation for the kitties or to check us out for the first time.

Thank you to Better World Books OMG Photography Boardgasm - South Bend, IN Chips & Doodles The Cakery for helping us celebrate in style.

Nothing wakes up 7 cats more than a few empty boxes.

They LOVE delivery days around here! 😹😹

We know that someone, somewhere, can open their home to these three black beauties. 🖤🖤🖤
Please share this post to help these babies get into a fur-ever home.

Trio Tuesday: Help Us Find a Home for These Bonded Cats!

We’re officially declaring every Tuesday Trio Tuesday until Luna, Peanut, and White Spot find their forever home! These three bonded cats have been in our shelter’s care for 200 days, with one of our dedicated staff members fostering them for 168 days.

However, with wildlife season in full swing, our staff member—who is also a wildlife specialist—needs to refocus on their crucial work. We’re running out of options and need your help to get this amazing trio adopted!

Week 1: Meet the Trio
Let’s reintroduce you to this wonderful feline family:

Luna (8), Peanut (7), and White Spot (7)—three inseparable cats who have been through so much together. After losing their beloved owner, they’ve remained sweet, loving, and resilient. Now, they just need a home where they can stay together and be cherished.

Could you be the one to give them the love they deserve? Please help us spread the word and make Trio Tuesday a success!

Hunter says “Thank you!” 😻

Someone sent us this fun cat tower! Along with some other goodies - and we don’t know who to thank. 💕

We are still using our stash of paper towels and laundry detergent donated in November and due to many food donations, we haven’t had to buy cat food in months! 😭😭😭

We are grateful to everyone who drops off detergent or food, sends us something from our Amazon wish list or gives a cash donation to help us keep this place going!

We are almost TWO YEARS into this adventure and we can’t thank you enough! 💜

Recent gifts from Holly, Amanda, Angel, Cindy and Jill, and Cindy help us keep these kitties thriving! 💕

Adoption #185 is Colin! 🎉🎉🎉

Tony came to us a few weeks ago, sharing that he’s not familiar with cats and wanted to learn all about them. His wife had been asking for a cat and he was finally ready to add one to the family! 🐾

He applied to adopt, and brought his wife for a cat lounge visit to surprise her with the news - they are getting a cat! 😻

She fell in love with many of our cats that day but decided Colin was the purrfect fit for them! 💕💕💕

Thank you for choosing to adopt! 💜

Adoption #184 is Scarlett!!! 🎉🎉🎉

She was not here long and that’s fine with us! We’re always so happy when one of these kitties gets scooped up right away!

Her new paw-rents wanted a cat companion for their current cat and we just know these two will be fast friends! 🐾

Thank you for choosing to adopt! 💜
