URGENT: Foster Homes Needed for Kittens! 🐾

Kitten season is here, and we are seeing new kittens arrive every single day. These tiny lives need loving homes where they can receive TLC, socialization, and the care they need while they grow strong and healthy.

The best part? We provide EVERYTHING you need! Food, supplies, medical care, and support are all covered. It costs **nothing** to become a foster family: just a little time, love, and a safe place for a kitten to thrive.

Whether you can foster one kitten, a litter, or a nursing mom and babies, you can make a lifesaving difference this kitten season.

💙 Apply online today to become a foster: auroraanimalshelter.org or e-mail [email protected] to learn more!
💙 Share this post to help us reach more potential fosters.
💙 Tag your friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors who might be interested.

Together, we can give these kittens the chance they deserve. Please help us spread the word!!

🌙 Meet Moon, an 8-year-old beauty who's been waiting for her home for over TWO MONTHS. We're hoping her perfect person sees this soon!

Moon is full of personality and keeps life interesting. She's clever enough to open dresser drawers and pull clothes out, and if there's a door between her and the rest of the house, she'll probably try to figure out how to open that too! This girl loves her freedom and enjoys roaming, exploring, and finding the best spots to keep an eye on her people.

While Moon isn't a full-time lap cat, she absolutely loves being near her humans. She'll happily hang out beside you, watch the world from a window, and occasionally hop onto the couch for a quick cuddle. She's sweet, affectionate, and has an incredibly gentle temperament. Even when she had to endure some unpleasant deworming medication, she remained loving and trusting.

Moon is looking for a home where she can be the star of the show. She does not enjoy sharing her space with other animals so she needs to be the only princess in the home.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with charm, intelligence, and plenty of love to give, Moon could be your perfect match. Let's get this wonderful girl the home she deserves! 🏡✨

Please share to help Moon find her person!

Meet Quincy!! 🖤

Quincy is a STUNNING 1-year-old black cat with piercing golden eyes and all the elegance of a little house panther. He's a quiet, observant boy who prefers to take in the world around him before joining the action.

Quincy has a gentle, thoughtful personality and shows his affection in subtle, meaningful ways. Once he feels comfortable, he'll lean in for chin and head scratches, quietly seek your company, and happily settle nearby just to be close.

A devoted Churu enthusiast, Quincy can always be won over with a tasty treat. He thrives in calm, low-key environments where he can relax, observe, and enjoy peaceful moments with his favorite people.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart, quiet charm, and the striking looks of a miniature panther, Quincy may be the perfect match. 🐾🖤

Update: Frogger was the fan-favorite name amongst staff, and little Frogger is currently in foster care, getting chunky and big before he can be neutered. And: the amazing officer who scooped this lucky guy up has fallen in love with him enough to adopt him, too! A full circle happy story!!!!! Thank you all for your support and incredible name suggestions!!

HIGHWAY HITCHHIKER RESCUED! 🐱🚨

This morning started with a call of a tiny kitten running loose in the middle of the highway. Our incredible Animal Protection Officers responded immediately and arrived to find this little daredevil weaving through traffic, completely unaware of just how dangerous their morning adventure had become. Thanks to the quick actions, patience, and dedication of our team, the kitten was safely rescued and removed from harm's way. This tiny little hitchhiker is now safe, warm, and settling into our nursery!

While we may never know exactly how this little one ended up on the highway, we do know that today could have had a very different ending without the compassion and commitment of our Animal Protection Officers. Every day, they respond to calls involving animals in distress, often in challenging and unpredictable situations, and today was no exception.

We're incredibly grateful for this amazing team and the work they do to protect the animals in our community. Please help us give them a well-deserved round of thank yous!!

Want to help all the kittens in our care like this one? Kitten season is in full swing and we are always in need of kitten food and donations from our wish list here!: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1UBQGR8C085R3?ref_=wl_share

And the fun part - this furry little criminal is still waiting for a name. Current contenders:
I-25
Route 66
Highway
Lane

Have a better idea? Drop your suggestions in the comments!

Thank you again to our incredible Animal Protection Officers for making sure this kitten's journey ended safely!

How is this gorgeous girl still waiting?! 🧡🤍🖤

Korra has been at the shelter for over three weeks with no interest, and we're convinced her future family just hasn't seen her yet!

This beautiful tabico is about 1 year old and absolutely full of personality. Korra is a social, chatty girl who loves to tell you all about her day with the cutest chirps and meows. She's always ready to investigate what you're doing, help with your chores (whether you asked for help or not), and soak up all the pets and attention she can get.

Korra loves being part of the action and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a cat that's equal parts affectionate, entertaining, and adorable. She definitely has a little princess energy and would prefer to be the only cat in the home!

If you're looking for a best friend who will greet you at the door, chat with you throughout the day, and keep life interesting, Korra is your girl.

Come meet Korra and see why we can't stop talking about her!
