Oliver the Shoppe Cat has unfortunately had to be rushed to the emergency vet due to a urinary blockage. The amazing doctors were able to greatly decrease the costs for us but the bill was $572 which for us is a quite large and unexpected expense. If anyone is able to donate towards his vet bill it would be greatly appreciated, we need his supervision at the store for years to come! Just call or stop in the shop, message us on here, or contact Mitsy Sa to donate. Oliver thanks you all for your help and promises everyone ample petting time when you come to visit him.

Standing up for the rights of others even when it doesn't seem to affect you can have huge snowball effects. These women made literal history by speaking up for the oppressed while never even having met someone from there. They stood up for South Africa and ended up helping to end apartheid.

* Update: She is older than previously thought and is closer to 8 weeks! She is on hard food now and needs less frequent feedings as a result. If anyone is interested in adopting this cute little baby message us asap so she can start her new life in a forever home!*

This little lucky girl is being called Rue and is up for adoption! One of our volunteers found her on the highway about to be hit in Ohio and stopped and saved her. She is approx 6 weeks old and is the queen of cuddling even on car rides. She loves everyone but is very found of males especially and her favorite pastime is sleeping in laps after snacks. She has had a flea treatment, dewormer, a flea collar, ear treatments, and she even got a new toy! Because she is young she does need food about every 3 to 4 hours and needs companionship as well. If interested message the shop or Mitsy Sa.

**The kitten has been adopted!**

A volunteer has rescued yet another dumped kitten! If anyone would like a baby female (we believe) kitten she is at the most 2 months old. Just starting dry food but easily able to eat it yet so wet food would be advised or a dry food with a wet topper put on it. Very very cuddly has spent the whole 2 hours of rescue sleeping, purring, and bathing all on the volunteers lap after the feeding was done. Likes other cats and has no fear of them responds when the rescuers cats meow at it but the other cats do not like her and a new home or foster is badly needed. Contact us or Mitsy Sa of you are interested.

These messages are more important now than ever. We're all soon going to have to do things we weren't prepared for and keep fighting alongside each other to create a world where we do build bridges not destroy them. Say a kind word, help someone out, even just say hi. Every action no matter how small helps to change the world and make it a better place for everyone.

If someone is doing something that is injust and wrong even if you like the person you need to stand up and stop them from committing that injustice. Just because someone is a friend doesn't make being a bad person ok.
