Meet Anastasia, the Comeback Princess!

Anastasia was found outdoors very sick by a delivery driver, but with lots of love, care, and determination, this beautiful girl has made an incredible comeback. Just look at her now!

She’s big, beautiful, floofy, and full of personality. Anastasia is playful, curious, clever, chatty, and VERY purry. She loves zooming around her foster home, stalking her toys, and playing with the finest things in life: boxes, crinkly packing paper, and toilet paper tubes. Naturally.

Anastasia is FeLV+ and has some special health needs, but that’s just one part of her story—and certainly not what defines her. We’ll be sharing more about FeLV and cat's needs with it in a separate post, but in the meantime, we hope you’ll get to know this resilient, wonderful girl for who she really is.

She’s already fought hard to get here. Now she’s looking for a forever family to help write her happily-ever-after. Anastasia is in foster, so please complete your adoption application today to set up your meet-and-greet!

This time next week, we'll be celebrating another amazing year with you! Our 26th annual Evening of Pawsibilities will be kicking off at 6 p.m. at the North Ridge Country Club next Saturday, October 10.

With live and silent auction packages to bid on, w**e and bourbon pulls to participate in, adoptable animals to meet, incredible food to enjoy, and more–we hope to see you there. There's even a chance for you to take home a $2,500 VISA Gift Card to spend like cash, and we know your fur babies would love to see some new toys around the house!

Kane has been dreaming about what he’d buy if he won the $2,500 raffle at our Evening of Pawsibilities… a lifetime supply of tennis balls, obviously. Maybe some treats. And definitely a beach vacation. Priorities.

But honestly, this guy is looking for his forever home. Preferably one with a comfy couch, someone to throw a ball, and a person to hang out with.

Kane is the perfect mix of independent and devoted. He doesn’t need constant attention, but he genuinely loves being near his people — whether that means sharing the couch, following you around the house, settling at your feet while you work, or joining you for a walk, trail adventure, or beach trip.

At home, Kane is calm, fully house-trained, and has excellent manners. He’s also taken on the very important role of household fly catcher and takes his job VERY seriously. And when he’s especially happy to see you? You might even get one of his adorable little sneezes.

Kane can be cautious with new people and prefers to build relationships at his own pace. Give him a little patience and space, and you’ll get to see the sweet, loyal companion underneath. Once he trusts you, Kane simply wants to be part of your everyday life.

Want to make your own $2,500 daydreams a reality? Enter our raffle for a $2,500 VISA Gift Card to spend like cash by purchasing your tickets from the link in our bio. In the meantime, you can complete an adoption application and set up a meet-and-greet to say hello to Kane!

Meet Zuzu: professional cuddle bug, certified roly-poly queen, and your potential new bestie!

At just 8 months old, this sweet girl has a silly side, a sensitive soul, and some seriously adorable flops and rolls that you have to see for yourself. She LOVES affection and being close to her people, especially when life is nice and calm.

Zuzu would thrive in a peaceful home where she can settle into a cozy routine and soak up all the love. She's open to a gentle, respectful feline roommate, but honestly? She'd probably be thrilled to be your one and only. More cuddles, more attention, more cozy spots to claim as her own. What's not to love?

Ready to make Zuzu your favorite little snuggle buddy? Meet her and learn more about adopting online at our website...or drop in between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and we'd be happy to chat with you about Zuzu or our other furry friends!
