This sweet boy is still waiting for someone to see what we see in him. Jersey has really blossomed in his foster home. He’s housebroken, crate trained, playful, affectionate, dog-friendly and cat-friendly. He loves squeaky toys, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and running around with his dog friends.But Jersey isn’t the kind of dog who immediately runs up to everyone he meets. He’s a little cautious and needs time to trust. He does best with someone who will be patient, move slowly, and let him come to them. Once he feels safe, you get to see the sweet, cuddly boy underneath it all.His crate is his safe place when he needs a break, and he’s learning that people can be trusted. His feet have healed, but his future family should continue to take things slowly with handling them until he’s completely comfortable.He’s waiting. And we’re really hoping his person is out there. Please share Jersey. Maybe the person who is meant to find him just hasn’t seen him yet. To apply, click the link in the comments below. ...

Thank you Facebook friends for doing your thing! Shares save lives!! Foster secured!!‼️URGENT‼️This tabby boy is 8 months old. He and his 4 closest friends showed up on a porch immediately after the flooding in New Lexington last month. We can only surmise that his home was flooded and it chased him and his friends into another neighborhood. In an attempt to keep them all from reproducing we are helping the homeowner with getting everyone spayed and neutered as we’ve already received one litter from this bunch last week. The plan was TNR. However, this boy had other plans. The homeowner noticed he wasn’t feeling well. She rushed him to the vet this morning. This is a stray, no home. The homeowner cannot keep as she’s trying to recover from the flooding herself. If we can’t find a foster home we will have to release him once he’s discharged. He is being hospitalized overnight on antibiotics and pain medication that he will need to continue but can’t if he doesn’t have a place to go. The staff at the clinic called him Love Bug because he’s the sweetest boy. So affectionate, cuddly and a purring machine. If you can give Love Bug a place to crash while we find him a forever home it would be greatly appreciated.As a foster based organization we are at the mercy of those willing to help. Please, someone foster Love Bug ♥️ ...

Eenie & Meenie are 6 months old and have been wonderful little guests in their foster home. They are now ready for the best part of their story — finding their forever family.These two are the kind of cats who make it easy to fall in love. They’re very friendly, cat-friendly, dog-friendly, and they’ve shown their foster family just how sweet and lovable they are.We know tabby cats can sometimes get overlooked in a sea of colorful coats and kittens, but look a little closer at these two. Their stripes may be common, but their personalities are anything but. Please share! Their perfect family may be one share away from finding them. To apply to adopt, click the link in the comments below. ...

Little Tom kitten had his first vet visit today and was given a clean bill of health. He is negative for all feline diseases and received his first vaccinations, wormer and flea/tick prevention. Tom was found with 2 siblings as a tiny neonate near a dumpster. He needed support from a bottle until he could eat on his own. This blue-eyed boy is litter trained and has been fostered with other dogs and cats. We are looking for a home in Central or SE Ohio that can finish his veterinary care at one of our partner clinics. If you can give this little Prince of a kitten a kingdom of his own, please apply using the link in the comments below. ...

In 24 hours we took in 10 kittens. Five of which are not old enough to be away from their moms and need bottle fed. It’s constant crisis, chaos, and worry. CONSTANT. For every 10 we help, there’s 50 more we can’t. This isn’t sustainable. It starts with you. There’s no such thing as an accidental litter. Kittens can come into heat as early as 4 months of age. You must spay and neuter. You must. Cats and kittens are suffering. Dumping them on a back road in hopes that they find their way to a home is not the answer. There are low cost spay/neuter options, utilize them!Most of all please understand as much as we wish we could help everyone, we can’t. They outnumber us. There aren’t enough fosters, adopters, or money to take in all the cats that need help and that’s truly disheartening. #spay #neuter #spayandneuteryourpets ...
