“Peek-a-boo! Where’s my forever home hiding? I’m right here!”
Meet Henry. A social and super sweet kitty who can get along with just about anyone. He loves being around people and curling up in your lap for a cat nap. In kitten terms, he’s the total package! And the best packages come in pairs. Henry is part of a dynamic duo with his bonded brother, Chester.
If you’re looking for two bundles of playful kitten energy and plenty of purrs, Henry and Chester are your boys!

Meet Raven! 🖤
Raven had an eye infection when he was just a kitten, and while his affected eye has some lasting changes, he still has vision in it! He’ll need yearly ophthalmology check-ups to keep those beautiful eyes healthy, but none of that slows this happy boy down.
Raven is incredibly social, loves to play, and believes head-butts are the very best way to say hello. He’s a sweet, playful, affectionate boy who is ready to find his forever family. Raven may have had a rough start, but he’s full of love, personality, and plenty of head-butts to give.
Could Raven be your new best friend?

Shadow is ready to steal your heart.
This handsome grey tuxedo boy is looking for an experienced cat owner who understands that the best relationships are built on patience, trust, and plenty of love. And once Shadow gets to know you, he is incredibly affectionate—a total sweetheart who loves giving and receiving affection.
Shadow may need someone who can appreciate him on his own terms, but he has so much love to give. Could you be his forever person?

MAKE YOUR GIFT GO TWICE AS FAR!

We have two featured cats this week: Muffin and Mittens. These sweet senior boys are a bonded pair and do absolutely everything together. From nap time cuddles to behind-the-ear scratches, they sure know how to enjoy their golden years!

If you love cozy afternoon snuggles and plenty of purrs, these boys are for you!

Today is the LAST DAY to make your donation go twice as far! Starting at 1PM today (August 25th), the first $50,000 donated across all participating Clear the Shelters organizations will be matched dollar for dollar—meaning you can have twice the impact on helping cats in need!

Donate through the link in our bio or our Stories today to have your gift matched!

Every dollar helps us care for cats like Muffin and Mittens while they wait for their furever homes!

Let’s get these two seniors to the loving home they deserve!
