🐾We just wanted to give an update on the little nuggets (kittens) that entered the shelter near the end of May without their Momma. These two are bundles of energy, appetites, and love. Lilo is indulging her mash & bottle while Stitch still enjoys his bottle feeding. The litter box is now being used successfully by both kittens. We will continue to update you on their progress as they grow and mature and prepare for their next chapter. These two are receiving all the love, snuggles, and kisses as Thomas & Bugs did from the shelter staff.🐾

Sq**rt's Story

Sq**rt is a 5-year-old female cat who was relinquished to the shelter at no fault of her own. Sq**rt was already spayed when entering the shelter, We got her fully vetted with her sister, and Sq**rt exhibits independent behavior, preferring minimal human interaction. Sq**rt would thrive in a barn setting where she can maintain her autonomy. Although she generally coexists with her sister sometimes, her behavior is unpredictable. We are seeking a suitable environment where Sq**rt can interact with humans on her own terms. If you are interested in Sq**rt, please stop by the shelter. Our hours are as follows. Shelter is open Mon-Fri 8:00am-4:00pm Sat-Sun 10:00am-3:00p

We had two littles come into the shelter three and half weeks ago, with no Mama, 10 days old, two of our shelter staff went into mama mode. Kitten formula, nursing bottles, right kitten ni***es, heating pad, baby wipes and kitten incubator ordered to keep these guys happy and feed, weighing before feeding, weighing after feeding every two hours, doing potty business. They had their first vet appointment today, Dr. said Lilo & Stitch are doing great and are healthy. Lilo, in the photo, is enjoying her mashed up kitten milk with kitten pate. They love kisses, snuggles with their handlers, and enjoy playing with their personal dogs. Keep your eyes out for these two in the near future.
