Bringing home a furry friend is always an exciting adventure full of love, snuggles, and a chewed up shoe or two.
We’ve done some digging to highlight local animal shelters looking for purrfect parents to give these fur babies a second chance.

Editor's pick: Writing today’s convo pulled at my heartstrings big time. If I had a bigger space I would be racing to the shelters to adopt some of the sweeties mentioned above, but in the meantime, donating + volunteering when I’m able to is what I’ll plan to do. Plus, you might catch me working at Naughty Cat Café to get my fix in. Missed yesterday's newsletter? Let’s go back to the chopping board. |
