🌧️ Rainy Day Cure = Cat Therapy! 🐾✨
​Don't let the gray skies get you down! We have the absolute best way to brighten up your rainy weekend. ️
​We have some wonderful new resident cats who just arrived and are ready to turn those rain clouds into purrs and headbutts. Come cozy up with them in the lounge! ☕️🐱
​🍼 Bonus Cuteness Alert: We also have some incredibly sweet new kittens hanging out at the cafe! Because they are still small and finishing up their vaccinations, they are staying in a separate area for their safety. You won't be able to play with them just yet, but you are more than welcome to come see them, watch them play, and fall in love!
​Whether you want to sip a warm drink, relax with our resident cats, or get a sneak peek at the newest little ones, the cozy vibes are waiting for you.
​👉 Drop by this weekend and meet the crew!

​We want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Kid’s Bingo on June 11th and today, June 18th! Both events were an absolute success, and we couldn’t have done it without your amazing energy.
​Our resident cats were absolutely thrilled with all the love, and attention they received. 😻
​We truly appreciate your support and can't wait to see you all at our next event. Shootout to our volunteers 🙋‍♀️ who helped us out.

Sweet little Arnold gave us quite a scare this past weekend. On Friday night, his foster mom Amber contacted us with concerns that his breathing was compromised. We already knew Arnold has general congestive heart failure, which can cause labored breathing, but what Amber was seeing was extreme.

Amber rushed him to Carolina Vet Specialists in Winston and they started providing care for him immediately. He spent the weekend in their oxygen tent and was able to go home on Sunday. He is much improved and on some new medication.

We want to thank Foster mom Amber for acting so quickly. And we want to thank the staff at CVS for providing such great care for Arnold.

If anybody would like to donate towards Arnold’s emergency vet bill, which totaled around $2200, you can do so by clicking on the donate button below, by donating via PayPal at [email protected], or by messaging us for information on how to donate via cash or check.

🐾 A Moment of Gratitude & Reflection 🐾
​Lately, there has been a lot going on—not just within the walls of our cafe, but in our personal lives as well. In the middle of the busyness, we wanted to take a quiet moment to pause, breathe, and look at the incredible community surrounding us. We are so deeply grateful for every single one of you.
​Moments like this remind us to step back and look at the bigger picture: We HAVE a mission.
​It has never been just about rescuing cats; it’s about what happens after.
​It’s about the cats who were surrendered, no matter the reason.
​It’s about the ones whose time was ticking away in a crowded shelter.
​It’s about the cats facing health issues that make others hesitate to adopt, and the seniors who have age working against them.
​Our mission is to step into that gap. We are here to support our cat community and to heal the ones who have carried heavy burdens and trauma.
​Not everything we experience can or should be shared on a social media page. There are heartbreaks, struggles, and quiet moments behind the scenes that are meant to simply be held close and prayed for.
​Today, we ask you kindly to expand your hearts. Don't just pray for or support us—please send that love, energy, and help to everyone out there fighting the good fight. Lift up the independent rescuers, the people managing community colonies, and the ones bottle-feeding vulnerable kittens who were heartbreakingly cast aside like trash. They all need your strength right now.
​Most of all, we ask you kindly to just be kind to one another.
​The world can be a heavy place, but kindness? Kindness doesn't cost a single thing.
​Thank you for walking this path with us, for loving these cats, and for being the community we can lean on. 🤍
