🐾 Rosebud says “ Thank you, Miss L! We just l-o-v-e our new blankies!” One of our supporters lovingly ❤️ crocheted a box full of cage blankets for all of our felines! They are so beautiful, and the colors are gorgeous! They add a homey warm feeling to our shelter, and we thank her so much for her thoughtfulness 🙏🏻 We can hear the purrrrs and see the buscuitmaking as they discover them! 🐾

🐾 Sasha and Mila have found their happily ever after…TOGETHER! After almost a year of calling St. Francis their home, they have been adopted! A lovely couple came in and they met Sasha and Mila, who were still somewhat shy. They returned the next day. One of our volunteers was giving them Churro- they said yes to being petted, and that sealed the deal. The adoption papers were signed!
Their new pawrents will give them all the time they need to adjust to their new home. They also have a son and daughter in law, a vet tech, who live close by. They’ll be readily available to offer any assistance, as Sasha and Mila have tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV is a virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them susceptible to other infections. While there is no cure, many cats with FIV live long, healthy lives with proper care, which includes regular veterinary check-ups, a nutritious diet, and minimizing stress.
Please join us in welcoming Sasha and Mila home ❤️ It was definitely worth the wait to place them in this wonderful, loving home with their new family! 🐾

🐾 Do you like to sew? Our felines would love to sleep 🛌 on your comfy creations! We’re looking for volunteers to make both round and rectangular bed covers for our cats. They both have a padded area in the center. The round has elastic, while the rectangular has a back opening, similar to a pillow shame. Call or stop by for specifics!🐾

She seems very secure that she is truly in her forever home. She's pretty spoiled! But I have always said, if you aren't going to spoil your pet, don't have one.
