Meet Mr. Benny, the 6-month-old neutered male who's still trying to figure out this whole 'being a cat' thing 😂. He came with his mom and sis, and let's just say he's still getting used to all the new sights and smells. But don't worry, he's a total sweetheart and loves attention. He's looking for a loving home to help him become the purrfect cat he's meant to be and entertain his people.🐱. Oh, and his adoption fee is $50- a small price to pay for all the snuggles and laughter he'll bring! He's available to meet during open hours, Tuesday-Sunday, 12-3pm 📅.

Thank you Pamela F for the donation of some cat litter.  It is greatly appreciated.

Meet Miss Sally, the calico, 5 mos old, with a unique pqttern of her own, queen bee of the lobby! She's been promoted to royal highness and is still figuring out this whole 'ruling with an iron paw' thing. When she's not busy being adorable, she loves to greet everyone at the door with a charming meow. She came with her squad, but she's ready to level up to a forever home with her own personal humans. Oh, and it'll only cost you $75 to make her royal dreams come true. Come visit her during open hours Tuesday-Sunday, 12-3pm, and see if you're worthy of her majesty's affection 😻
