After 300 days of cages, foster rooms, sharing her space with a dozen cats, birthing a litter and watching them all go home… Mama finally got adopted and gets to spend her first night in a real bed! I’m not crying, those are just allergies 🤧

Feeling like a little road trip 🚘? Then come see us in Rockford this weekend! Obviously we’re the main attraction… 😉 but there will be tons of really cool activities and animals to meet!

The team had their work cut out for them today. A severely matted cat named Suzy Shaboozy obviously had one too many and sat in something sticky. It happens to the best of us 🫠

So we got to work armed with some clippers, some delectables and sheer grit and determination and we took off A THIRD OF A POUND OF MATTED HAIR!!!!

Suzy was a star and as any girl would be, she was happy to have shed the excess weight as well as having a nicely groomed derrière.

Today was an exceptional day at St Sophia’s. ANDY, our King of the Cat Room, was FINALLY ADOPTED!!!!

Andy was one of our longest serving resident cats. He was with us for a total of 515 days. He loved being in the cat room and his most favorite thing to do was to run on the wheel. No matter where we were in the building, if we heard that wheel going, staff members would look at each other and simultaneously say “Andy!”.

An amazing man who had his heart set on Andy from the get go finally took him to his forever home today. Tears were shed and messages exchanged between staff and volunteers.

This is when the STSFF team decided to all chip in and purchase Andy HIS OWN WHEEL for his new home.

To our team; WE APPRECIATE YOU
To Andy’s adopter; THANK YOU and take care of him
To Andy; the pleasure was all ours little boy 🐾
