Kitten season is still going strong, and our tiniest residents are gobbling up wet kitten food faster than we can restock it! If you’d like to help keep these hungry babies fed, we have an Amazon link available for easy ordering, but you’re also more than welcome to pick up any brand of wet kitten food and drop it by the shelter. Every little bit truly makes a big difference for our kitties!

Looking for a natural, low‑maintenance way to keep your property free of rodents while giving a deserving animal a safe place to live? Get in touch with us about adopting barn cats!
These cats come from backgrounds that mean they won't do well with traditional indoor pet life, but they still need a safe, caring placement. If you have a barn, shed, stable, or outbuilding where they can live comfortably, you can make a huge difference for them.
If you are interested in adoption, or learning more about whether your setup would be suitable to adopt a barn cat, follow the link in the comments!

UPDATE:ADOPTED

Meet Mary G ❤️

Mary G spends most of her time curled up in the corner of her kennel, quietly hoping someone will notice her. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, but beneath her shy exterior is a sweet girl who just needs a patient person to help her feel safe and loved.

One place where Mary G truly comes alive is outside. She enjoys exploring and loves spending time with other dogs, who help bring out her confidence.

If you have a calm home, a kind heart, and the patience to let a shy dog blossom at her own pace, Mary G could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her today—you might just be the person she’s been waiting for. 🐾

Meet Brix! This handsome guy has been with us for quite a while, and he’s so ready to find a home of his own. He likes a short walk, cuddling on the bench with his buddy, shelter volunteer Jerry. Being close to his people is his favorite thing.
He does have some allergies, but they’re managed with a decent-quality sensitive skin food and regular veterinary care.
If you’ve got a soft spot for bench snuggles and loyal companionship, Brix would love to meet you. Help us find this sweet guy's family!
