I've been here ten whole months now and still, every time I'm out running around, someone is like, "oh my gosh WHO is that ADORABLE little round gray and white cat? I've never noticed her before!" Those in the know are like, "No tail? Big eyes? That's Red Queen!" Yep- that's me! Why do people not notice me? A few reasons. One is that, since I prefer not to be around other cats, I'm not out running around during the day with the whole group. And my house... well, it's cozy, but it's not exactly inviting. The other is the sign on
My name is Bones and I need your help. This is my "before" picture. It's what I looked like when I first came to the shelter. Yep, those sunken eyes, those long nails... they tell me I was badly neglected and mistreated for a long time and that the conditions I grew up in were not okay-, but to me, it just seemed normal. It was all I knew. Well, I've been in the shelter a couple of months now because I needed a lot of care to get healthy. And I don't look like this anymore! I'll show you my
There's one main thing you need to know about me: I'm a romantic. My name is Stud Muffin. Yeah... I know. I'm not that attached to it. It makes me sound like a cocky bro with a lot of swagger and that's not really me. I'm definitely more Lord Byron than David Hasselhoff. First, I want to take some time to get to know you. I'm all about true love, not just infatuation, and sometimes that starts slowly. But once I'm in, I'm ALL in. In fact, if there's one real problem people have with me, it's that I'm TOO affectionate. All I
People always say, "I don't want an adult cat. It's gotta be a kitten because I want to shape and mold it to be exactly what I want!" I'm Aerith and... lol. Good luck with that, humans. I'm six months old and if there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I'm my OWN cat! I mean, I'm still a lot of the things that people often want in a cat: I'm loving and outgoing and I LOVE to play with toys! I'll chase around a puffball like my life depends on it and then carry my "prey" around

We're so close to our with just ONE HOUR left to give! Can you help us help dogs like Vivien? When the dog house where little Vivien had been living with her sisters caught fire, her life changed in an instant. She was just a tiny baby puppy and that dog house was the only life she had ever known. And now? She was severely burned and in need of intensive veterinary care. Luckily for them, Open Door was there. We rushed Vivien and her sisters straight to the vet, where one succumbed to her injuries and one (you may remember
If you've spent any time in animal rescue, you know how bad it has to be for the police to intervene. And in Bones' case... they had little choice. Bones was one of about a dozen animals in one home living a life of squalor, neglect, and abuse until they arrived at the shelter. He was found locked in a crate that was piled high with excrement, scared, missing hair, and severely underweight. Little did he know what lay ahead! It's taken a little while, but Bones is finally ready to find a new home! He's healthy, shiny, muscular, and SO sweet
My name is Turtle and I have a superpower: I can bring joy to people's lives. I may only have three legs but I'm a benevolent force for good. I'm super-soft, super-sweet, super-pretty and my physical differences make me super-special. I came to the Sanctuary with one front leg badly injured and it had to be amputated. I'm adjusting really well to my new body and I can jump and climb just as well as any other cat. I can even still make air biscuits, even though it looks a little different now. I'm not looking to save the whole

I've heard lots of promises from humans in my life. Like, "Don't worry, Venus- you'll grow into those ears!" or "You'll catch that squirrel one of these days." Not all of those promises have come to fruition, but that's okay- there's only one promise I really care about. It's the one I'm still waiting for: "I promise I'll never give up on you." I can make you a few promises of my own, you know. I can promise to be happy to see you, even if I've never met you before. And I promise to be an enthusiastic playmate- always ready
