🚨🎃 URGENT: PUMPKIN NEEDS OUT OF THE CAT CAFE! 🎃🚨

Nine months.

That's how long Pumpkin has been waiting for someone to choose her. Nine months of watching other cats come and go while she remains behind. 💔

You know her. You love her. You may have been lovingly smacked by a Pumpkin paw. 👑 But what Pumpkin really needs is a home of her own.

At 9 years old, Pumpkin has made one thing very clear: she is DONE with communal living. The busy cat cafe environment and constant stream of other cats are wearing on her, and she deserves a quiet place where she can finally relax and be the queen she's always known she is.

🧡 Loves head scratches
🧡 Loves lounging beside her people
🧡 Loves being adored
🧡 Has enough personality for an entire household
🚫 Does not want to share her kingdom with other pets

When Pumpkin gets one-on-one attention, she absolutely shines. She's affectionate, hilarious, opinionated, and fiercely loyal to her people. She isn't asking for much—just a couch, a human, and a chance.

The sad truth is that Pumpkin is becoming increasingly stressed in the cafe environment. After nearly 9 months of waiting, we're begging someone to give this incredible girl the soft landing she deserves.

Please don't let Pumpkin spend another month waiting.

🏡 Adopt or foster-to-adopt Pumpkin today and give this queen the castle she's been waiting for. 🧡👑🐾

💔 🚨 LONELY HEARTS CLUB ALERT 🚨 💔

Our Lonely Hearts Club is officially FULL... and trust us, it's the one club nobody wants an invite to. 😭

They say 2's a party, 3's a crowd, but 12? That's absolute chaos.

These are our pups who have been with us for 100+ days. While we're incredibly grateful for their amazing foster families, we'd really love to stop introducing them as "our longest residents" and start calling them "adopted!" ❤️

The silver lining? These dogs have spent months learning all the important things:
✔️ House manners
✔️ Couch cuddling techniques
✔️ How to be the goodest boys and girls
✔️ Exactly how to steal your heart

So without further ado, meet our Lonely Hearts:

🐾 Fern – our longest resident and frankly, she's starting to take it personally.
🐾 Jake – desperately needs a foster home and a chance to shine.
🐾 Daisy & Missy – bonded besties looking for their happily ever after together.
🐾 Dash – honestly... perfect. We have no notes.
🐾 Oreo – has come SO far and is ready for his people.
🐾 Angel – a gentle, quiet soul who deserves the world.
🐾 Steve – everyone's best friend. Literally everyone's.
🐾 Aspen – retired from motherhood and ready to focus on herself for once. 💅
🐾 Snickerdoodle – the perfect beagle. No further explanation needed.
🐾 Frida – looking for an adventure buddy and professional fun-haver.
🐾 Sassy – LOVES LOVES LOVES kids and is currently looking for a new foster home!

At this point we're starting to think they're being too picky. Somebody please submit an application before they unionize and start demanding better snacks. 😭❤️

Who are you taking home? 🐶💕

🎃 PUMPKIN NEEDS A CASTLE OF HER OWN! 🎃

You know her. You love her. You may have been lovingly assaulted by a Pumpkin paw. 👑

Pumpkin has been hanging out at Mount Purrnon for almost 9 months, and while the staff is completely obsessed with her, she's ready to retire from communal living and become the ruler of her very own kingdom.

At 9 years old, Pumpkin knows what she likes:
✔️ Head scratches
✔️ Lounging next to her people
✔️ Being adored
❌ Sharing her throne with other pets

While she's gotten a little grumpy about having so many feline roommates, Pumpkin is an absolute sweetheart when she's the center of attention. She's affectionate, funny, full of personality, and has more than enough sass to keep an entire household entertained.
If you're looking for a cat who will be your loyal sidekick, cuddle buddy, and occasional life coach, Pumpkin is your girl. 🧡

SAFE!!!

🚨 FOSTER NEEDED ASAP FOR MOMMA PANCAKES 🥞🐾

Meet Momma Pancakes. This sweet dachshund mix is very pregnant and looks ready to welcome her puppies any day now. 💕 The video you're seeing is from when she was surrendered to the shelter, and it's absolutely heartbreaking.

The sad reality is that a pregnant mom and a litter of newborn puppies are incredibly vulnerable in a crowded rural shelter. Without a foster home, there's a very real chance this little family won't make it. 💔

No mama should have to give birth in a shelter kennel. We need to get Pancakes into a safe, quiet foster home ASAP where she can relax, deliver her babies, and care for them comfortably.

Don't worry—we'll provide all supplies and support, and we'll walk you through every step of the process. You won't be doing this alone.

✅ All supplies provided
✅ Rescue support every step of the way
✅ No shelter location will be provided
✅ All resident pets must be up-to-date on vaccines and spayed/neutered

Can you help save Momma Pancakes and her little breakfast crew? 🥹🐾

Please apply to foster today. One foster home can change the entire future of this family.

🚨 FOSTER STILL NEEDED FOR SASSY! 🚨

And as you can clearly see from this photo… Sassy is OBSESSED with kids 🥹❤️ Like “tiny human fan club president” levels of obsessed.

Meet Sassy! 🐾
1 year old • 38 lbs • boxer/pittie-ish mix (our best guess 😂)

Sassy is goofy, playful, energetic, and always ready for her next adventure. She LOVES people, absolutely adores children, and would thrive in a foster or forever home where she can soak up all the love and attention for herself.

✨ Sassy’s dream home:
✔️ Kids to cuddle and play with
✔️ Fenced yard for zoomies
✔️ Humans home a good portion of the day
✔️ No other pets so she can be the spoiled queen she was born to be 👑

Sassy does enjoy other dogs, but sometimes her “LET’S PARTY!!!” energy is a little much for them 😂 She does best in structured/supervised dog interactions and would really thrive as the only pet in the home.

She’s doing great with house training on a schedule, loves companionship, and will absolutely keep you entertained with her silly personality.

✔️ Spayed
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Up to date on vaccines
✔️ Ready to move in and become your children’s new bestie immediately

Seriously… look at this face. Someone foster this girl already. 😭

🎃 FOSTER NEEDED FOR PUMPKIN! 🧡🐾

Meet Pumpkin, a sweet 9-year-old kitty who is looking for a quiet place to call home while she waits for her forever family.

Pumpkin has decided that the hustle and bustle of the cat café just isn't her style. She's ready to trade in the busy social scene for a comfy couch, sunny windowsill, and a peaceful home where she can relax and enjoy the good life.

This lovely senior girl deserves a soft landing spot where she can unwind, be loved, and show off just how wonderful she is. Whether you're looking to foster or adopt, Pumpkin would love the chance to spend her golden years in a calm, cozy environment.

🏡 Foster or forever home needed

🚨 FOSTERS NEEDED ASAP 🚨

These babies need out before they end up stuck in the shelter system 💔

STILL IN NEED - 🐾 LITTER OF PUPS
8 weeks old as of yesterday!
Mom appears to be a Retriever mix… Dad remains a mystery man 😂
The family is keeping mom, but the puppies are scheduled to head to the shelter THIS WEEKEND if we can’t secure fosters.

UPDATE: COVERED
🐾 TWO OLDER PUPS
3 months old | already 25 lbs
Currently sitting in the shelter after being picked up as strays 😭
Breed? Absolutely no clue. Certified adorable fluffy mutts.

✔️ Puppies can be fostered individually IF you already have another playful dog at home
✔️ Can also be fostered in pairs
✔️ Fosters must be home a good portion of the day
✔️ No apartments or condos due to vaccination status
✔️ We cover vetting + the first bag of dog food
❌ We will NOT share shelter location

These are BABIES. They should be learning how to be spoiled rotten, not sitting in a shelter kennel 😭

Apply to foster and help us save them!

UPDATE: Covered

🚨 HOLIDAY TEMP FOSTER NEEDED FOR MEEKO 🚨

Meeko is in search of a temporary foster from 📅 July 3–12!

Meeko is 4 months old, 17 lbs, and professionally trained in being ridiculously adorable. Meeko is playful, sweet, smart, and thriving with the children and resident dogs in her foster home. She loves zooming around the yard, collecting dog toys like tiny treasures, and cashing in on cuddle time whenever possible.

✔️ Great with kids
✔️ Loves other dogs
✔️ Cute enough to get away with literally anything
✔️ Brings chaos, joy, and puppy kisses free of charge

We’re looking for temporary foster homes during these dates so Meeko can stay safe and out of boarding while her foster family travels. Can you give this little peanut a summer sleepover? 🐾
