💕Caretaker Tuesday💕 This week, Karen and Rex take the spotlight!
Rex is a handsome boy with the sweetest little face, surrounded by fluffy black and white fur, striking white whiskers, and the pinkest nose. His warm, loving eyes have a way of melting hearts and inviting you in for affection from the moment you meet him.

This gentle, easygoing fellow enjoys the company of other cats, but he'd be just as happy being the center of your world. Whether he's lounging nearby, keeping you company, or soaking up pets and attention, Rex is happiest when he's with the people he loves.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a calm spirit, a loving heart, and plenty of charm, Rex may be the perfect addition to your family. He's ready to find a forever home where he can share all the love he has to give.

💕Caretaker Tuesday💕 Tina would like you to meet Sage: Sage came to us with a large colony of other cats. Always hidden away in a corner, it took us a long while to finally figure out her personality. After deciding to move her away from her roommates, she blossomed into the sweetest lovebug you could ever meet!

Her confidence has grown while in our care, and now she regularly comes up to say hello and will never turn down a good pet...or two :). She loves to play with toys, but her favorite activity is definitely soaking up all the attention from anyone she meets! (Bonus points to her for being the softest cat I've ever met!! Seriously, it's like touching a cloud! 🌥💖)

Come and see how soft she is in person Monday-Saturday 12pm-4pm

💕Caretaker Tuesday 💕
Hi! Liz here, and I would love you to meet Rigel aka Reggie! 🐈 Rigel holds a special place in my heart because he was a foster of mine for about 3 months. He is a goofy, cross eyed, one-year-old boy who has come such a long way in such a short amount of time. When he first came to my house it was thought he would do best as a barn cat due to lack of socialization and his reactive behavior. During his time in foster care his trust in humans quickly grew and with the help of Wishbone House Caretakers he has turned into the playful, sweet boy I know him as!

Likes: mice toys, head scratches, food, splashing in water and bird watching and playing with his friends Cirrus and Cumulus.
Dislikes: being held for too long, rearranging his room

Come meet him in person and you are sure to fall in love with him 💕

💕Caretaker Tuesday💕 “My Mom always told me to meet people where they are, listen to their stories without judgement, and help them heal in a gentle way. I believe the same goes for cats. You meet them where they are, find out their stories and, without judgement, help them heal in a gentle way. Parpadelle and Farfalle didn’t come from a nurturing home. Though given the bare necessities, they were not socialized. They came to the Allegan County Shelter, pregnant and completely terrified with no desire to share their world with ours. Knowing Wishbone House was the best place for them, the shelter transferred them to us. Our caretakers met Parpadelle and Farfalle where they were, found out their stories and with no judgement helped them to heal. After much time, love and patience, these two beautiful female cats are now understanding how nice it is to be cared for. If I was able to, I would adopt these two girls and allow them to take their time to continue growing in trust and confidence. What a special gift that would be. I can’t but maybe you can. We invite you to come and meet them and if you need it, tell them your story and let them heal you.”

🍃Sage🍃
You won’t her running around room 3 like her other roommates… you’re more likely to see her tucked away behind a blanket or in a quiet cozy spot. Just because she likes the slow life doesn’t mean she doesn’t love human attention. If you seek her out, Sage will willingly take any love you have to give her 💕

If your lifestyle matches Sage’s, come and visit her!
