What I would love more than anything for the holidays is for our two most shy mama cats to find their forever homes.
Porsche, mom of the Auto Club kittens, since May this year.
Shoyu, who is the mama of last year’s wonderful little grass Miso & Dashi, has been in our rescue since October *2024.*

A pet sleeping next to you feeling so safe and comfy is genuinely the most any human can really ask for
It makes you feel like maybe you aren’t so bad. You might even be good

😹 Wheezing laughing at this PERFECT photo on the ARL “available for foster” board 🥹😻
This sweet orangy has a cold so needs foster to recover + reduce risk of spread. Foster families are essential to help shelters! 💪
Huge props to the amazing foster team at @arliowa.bsky.social 🙏😻

#Caturday is a good day to remind ourselves that there is goodness and hope in this world.
Even if we must look hard for it.
Even if we must create it ourselves.
And especially if we can spark it in others.

HELP NEEDED: When a private individual suddenly and unexpectedly became the caretaker for 62 cats, they were overwhelmed to say the least. Not knowing where to turn, they reached out to us for help.

Cloud, Phyll, Nettle, and Pyewacket are all available for adoption now! All of them are extremely sweet, social, good with cats and dogs (Phyll would prefer dogs that are small and don’t want to bother him). Please help them find their homes for the holidays ❤️ Elkton, MD crits4cats.petfinder.com
