It's what time of the week where we play What Am I Wednesday!

This week’s is Aaron, previously known as Ares! 😍 Aaron was adopted from Harbor Humane in September 2023! His family got her DNA tested and wanted to share the results with us.

As always, results will be posted in 24 hours! What do YOU think makes up Aaron's DNA? 🐶 Happy Guessing!🥳

🐱🚨 KITTEN CRISIS: The Tiny Freeloaders Need Litter! 🚨🐱

We've reached a very important milestone in kitten development here at Harbor Humane:

The babies are learning how to use the bathroom all by themselves.

That's right. No more having mom (or a very dedicated foster parent) handle all of their personal hygiene needs. These tiny roommates are officially entering their "independent living" era. 🎉

Unfortunately, they're also entering their "everything looks edible" era. 🙃

Which is why we desperately need **NON-CLUMPING CLAY LITTER**.

While adult cats understand that the litter box is a bathroom, kittens sometimes look at it and think:

👀 "Is this food?"
👀 "Should I taste it?"
👀 "Why is the floor crunchy?"

Because kittens make questionable life choices, non-clumping litter is the safest option while they're learning the ropes.

Right now, we have a LOT of kittens in foster care, and our supply is disappearing faster than a kitten can sprint across a room at 3 a.m. for absolutely no reason.

How you can help:
🐾 Shop our Wish Lists (links in the comments)
🐾 Pick up non-clumping clay litter while you're out shopping
🐾 Drop donations off at Harbor Humane or in our donation shed

Every bag helps keep our tiniest residents safe while they master the complicated art of "potty goes in the box, not in my mouth."

Thank you for supporting the world's cutest freeloaders. They contribute absolutely nothing to the household expenses, have no concept of personal space, and regularly commit acts of chaos...
..but they're very cute, so we keep them around. ❤️🐱

🎉 Another incredible week at Harbor Humane Society! 🎉

Because of adopters, fosters, volunteers, donors, and supporters like YOU, last week we celebrated:

🐱 28 cats adopted
🐶 17 dogs adopted
🏡 23 community cats returned to their outdoor homes through our Return-to-Field program
❤️ 1 cat and 5 dogs reunited with their families

That's 74 animals helped in just one week!

But the work isn't slowing down. We currently have more than 276 animals in our care and foster homes waiting for their next chapter. From playful kittens and lovable dogs to adorable bunnies, sweet guinea pigs, and even a handsome rooster, there's truly someone for everyone looking for a new best friend.

🐾 Looking to add a furry (or feathered!) family member?
🐾 Thinking about fostering?
🐾 Want to volunteer or support our lifesaving work?

Now is the perfect time to get involved.

Come visit us and meet your new best friend—you never know who might be waiting for you. ❤️

Looking for a Meaningful Way to Support Harbor Humane? 🐾

As we prepare for Ales for Tails 2026, we're building an exciting silent auction and interactive fundraising experiences and we're inviting our community to help make them unforgettable.

We're currently seeking:

✨ Silent Auction Items
✨ Unique Experiences (tickets, tours, classes, getaways, behind-the-scenes opportunities, and more)
✨ Bottles of Wine for our Wine Pull
✨ Bottles of Bourbon for our Bourbon Pull
✨ Gift Cards for our Gift Card Pull

Whether you're a local business, community partner, or supporter looking to give back, your donation can make a lasting impact.

Some of the most popular auction items aren't always things, they're experiences. A weekend getaway, a private lesson, tickets to a local attraction, a dining experience, or a one-of-a-kind opportunity can create excitement for guests while helping raise critical funds for animals in need.

Every item donated helps provide shelter, medical care, enrichment, and second chances for the thousands of animals who rely on Harbor Humane each year.

This July, as we celebrate Harbor Humane's 70th Anniversary at Ales for Tails, your generosity will help make the evening more impactful, more memorable, and more successful for the animals we serve.

Interested in donating? We'd love to hear from you! Please contact us at [email protected].

Together, we can turn great items, memorable experiences, and a little friendly bidding into brighter futures for homeless pets. ❤️🐶🐱

🏡💕 TAKE ME HOME TUESDAY 💕🏡

Some dogs make an entrance. Luna prefers to make a connection. ❤️

At 6 years old and just 15 pounds, Luna may be small in size, but she has a big personality and an even bigger heart. Once she feels safe and comfortable, this sweet girl transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug. Her favorite things include burrowing under blankets, soaking up tummy rubs, riding along on car adventures, and playing fetch—especially if her beloved rocks are involved! 🪨🎾

Luna can be a little cautious when meeting new people, but patience and kindness go a long way. Give her the time she needs, and she'll reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless snuggles, and a smile that will brighten your day.

Luna is looking for a home with teens and adults where she can feel secure and loved. Because she prefers a calmer environment, a home without small children is best.

Could Luna be the missing piece in your family? Come meet this special girl and see just how much love can fit into 15 pounds. 🐾❤️

It's been awhile and tonight we have an adoption update to share with you on Sugar the kitty! 🐈

"Sugar has been doing AMAZING and is settling in perfectly. She has reached total boss status in the house! Sweet little 6lb sugar has no problem telling my 80lb lab exactly how to act.

She has been on so many road trips and loves looking out the window. She travels like a queen… never left behind and always included. She has visited Chicago with our blended family (her dog brother), met her human grandma and great grandma.

She loves morning kisses and sharing pillows all night long.

As old as she is, we have finally got her diet down. She has a custom staircase to get on the bed. I couldn’t love my little bug more!"

Thank you so much to Sugar's new family for giving this sweet old kitty the life she deserves! 🐾

🏡💙 TAKE ME HOME TUESDAY 💙🏡

Breaking News: Tango has updated his dating profile, and his preferences are… very specific.

Seeking:
👩 Women only, please.
✨ Kindness, patience, and good vibes are a must.
🎾 Bonus points if you own squeaky toys.

About Me:
🐾 Tango
🎂 5 years old
⚖️ 60 pounds of handsome

Tango is, in every sense of the phrase, "a ladies' man." 💅

He meets women and says, "You seem trustworthy. Tell me everything."
He meets men and says, "Security has been notified." 🚨

It's nothing personal. He's simply committed to maintaining extremely high standards for his inner circle.

Once Tango decides you're one of his people, though? Game over. He transforms into a goofy, affectionate lovebug who lives for toys, squeakers, belly rubs, and hanging out with his favorite humans. He'll happily entertain himself with a toy, then come over to remind you that snuggles are also on today's agenda.

Now, we should also discuss his one hobby…

🐱 He believes cats should be chased.

He redirects easily and responds well, which is encouraging, but he'll need management, separation, and continued training to be successful in a home with cats. He's smart and eager to connect—he just occasionally makes questionable career choices as a self-appointed feline fitness coach.

What Tango really needs is someone who understands that trust takes time. Give him patience, consistency, and a chance to settle in, and you'll discover a funny, loyal companion with a huge heart and an even bigger personality.

So if you're a dog-savvy woman looking for a best friend who will adore you, make you laugh, and proudly stand guard against suspicious delivery drivers and men who dare exist… Tango would like to schedule an interview. 💙🐾
