Councilman Joe Putnam, Pl. 4

I found them outside, huddled together for warmth, looking around as if waiting for someone who had long forgotten them. Their little eyes were full of fear and hope, and I just couldn’t walk away. I’ve been trying everything I can to find them loving homes, but so far, no one has come forward.

They’re sweet, playful, and so full of life despite whatever hardships they’ve already faced. If no one steps up soon, I’ll have no choice but to take them to the shelter. Just the thought of them in cages, waiting and wondering again, breaks me. They deserve more – love, comfort, a family. Please, help me help them.❤️❤️

Remember Grant
Remember Lee
but most of all
remember that not all adult cats are going to sell themselves to prospective adopters.

They've lived lives before meeting you and they've experienced a few layers of stress and pain, so they're not always (hardly ever) going to jump into your arms and say I love you and be mine!!

Instead of walking into a space filled with cats and waiting for the one who chooses you, maybe make it your goal to be the one who chooses them no matter what.

If everyone realized how many cats were desperately in need of humans doing this, we actually would not have to exist as an organization. 🤔

GRANT (pictured here) got picked tonight! He's been with us a few months, quietly biding his time. He is such a perfect, sweet soul who has gone long overlooked because he will not sell himself. Tonight he didn't have to.

🥰

Happy Adoption, sweet boy! Can't wait for updates.

❤️

Today, on our way home from Arizona through Twin Falls, we got a flat tire on our travel trailer, and we were also hauling a side-by-side trailer with a Razor on it. It was a full load, and there wasn’t much room to pull over, plus the weather was really bad. But we managed to pull over. Many cars passed by, but two amazing young men stopped to help us. They were from Eldon, Missouri, and were on their way home from Oregon, where they had been helping rebuild homes that were destroyed by wildfires last year. Our world needs more people like Chauncey Zook and Randall Weaver. Please help me make them go viral because they were such great kids.
