Mama’s girl

Elliot and Carrot pay it forward
We adopted Cardigan (tuxedo) and Oddish (orange tabby) in October 2016 for my daughters birthday gift. They are now Elliot and Carrot. I became a foster about 7 months ago and know how much it means to see pictures of adopted kitties! I was petting Elliot tonight and...

Boots is living the life!
Boots was such an adorable kitten in 2013, along with her brothers Frisky and Cooper. She was adopted to a guardian with Frisky just in time for Christmas. She must have gotten out and lost somehow, because we got a call that winter from the Humane Society that one of...

Kiki is definitely a survivor. This big, sweet tabby lady had been turned into a local shelter after surviving a house fire. It was so bad that her poor little ears were burned and curled with scar tissue. Then she was rescued from their euthanasia list by a local...
