🐾💚Saturday Happy Tails from Junipur!💚🐾

The first day Junipur spent in her new home, the connection was instantaneous. Her family felt like she had always been with them.

Junipur felt right at home and is a sweet, curious, and playful cat. Junipur spends her days snuggling with her new cat brothers, playing with toys and letting her curiosity run wild.

Her family shared that, "she is an uplifting spirit to our home".💖

Thank you to Junipur’s family for giving this adorable kitty a loving home!

Belladonna is just an ✨ordinary girl✨

After playing with her shelter pup friends, she took some “me time” to chew bark in a corner. We can’t help but feel like she’s and icon for that.

Come by the shelter to meet Belladonna💕
