Adoption News!!😻

Marky Mark( now known as Leo) says Hi! He's already made himself very comfortable in his new home with his family,and they love him. It always amazes us to see how quickly most settle in. But then again, it's all what you offer them. Cats are opportunists, and safe to say Leo, found his happy place. We wish them the best of times together! ❤️

Look who got adopted!😻

The cutest little brothers became lucky boys as they got to go home together. Some days they were snuggling one another, other days they were brawling like thugs! Lol one things for sure, their family fell in love with them, and all their shenanigans. We hope they're enjoying and loving every minute of having them.❤️

This handsome boy has been a part of our rescue family for the past 7 years. Sadly,we said goodbye to Norman- our hearts are broken but filled with happy memories. Love to his mom Cindy who is missing him so much.

When we first rescued Norman, his diet consisted of dry leaves and he urgently needed medical care. Thinking he might be a hospice foster, Cindy (his angel) stepped up and took him home.
Love and care helped Norman to live a happy, healthy life for the next 7 years.

Norman loved his walks, car rides, meeting his friends, or just lounging in the sun. He had a great life with lots of friends. We will always remember his funny little walk, the look on his face when a snack was nearby, and just being a best friend and companion.

At 14, age and thyroid cancer were taking their toll. Walks weren't fun and life wasn't the same. We all knew it was time for Norman to rest.

Run free, sweet boy - we will miss you Mr. Norman and always love you 💔
