Meet Lyric, a beautiful 4-year-old Siamese with a pair of blue eyes that could get her just about anything.

Lyric is a sweet girl, but she's also a little shy. The busy shelter environment has been hard on her, and she's really hoping to find a quieter place where she can relax, feel safe and let her personality shine.

She's cat-friendly, litter trained and would likely do well with a calm, respectful dog. Lyric doesn't need a big production. She just needs someone willing to give her a little patience and let her come out of her shell at her own pace.

If you have a quiet home and a soft spot for shy girls with gorgeous blue eyes, Lyric might be your girl.

🏆 And the winner is… technically Stihl!

But plot twist: Stihl has officially been adopted! So while he may have won the votes, he's already won the jackpot with his forever family. We think that's a pretty good prize!

That means we're shining the spotlight on our runner-up, CHOWDER!

At 4 years old, Chowder has mastered the art of being completely unbothered. He's as laid-back as they come, sweet as can be and one of the gentlest boys you'll meet.

Chowder loves absolutely everyone and is happy just being along for the ride. He's incredibly gentle and would make a wonderful addition to a home with a cat. He'd also likely do well with another laid-back dog who appreciates his chill vibes.

He might not have taken home the most votes, but we think Chowder deserves a winning home of his own!

Let's get this handsome, unbothered gentleman adopted!

🎩 We're all mad here, but we're especially mad about Mad Hatter!

At just 6 months old and already weighing in at a whopping 10 pounds, this handsome grey tabby is living proof that good things come in big packages. We're pretty sure he's been taking the eat me cake a little too seriously! 😂

Mad Hatter is an absolute lovebug who loves everyone he meets. He enjoys being held, soaking up attention and making new friends. He's cat-friendly and would likely do well with a dog, too!

His daily schedule consists of eating, napping, getting cuddles and occasionally squeezing in some playtime between his very important activities.

Here's what we can't figure out: this sweet boy has been waiting 165 DAYS for someone to take him home! He's more than ready to trade shelter life for a cozy couch and a family of his own.

He's got the charm, the personality and plenty of love to give. All he's missing is YOU!

Could your home be Mad Hatter's Wonderland? ❤️
