❤️ Adopt Wirla! ❤️

Wirla is a gorgeous 3-year-old black kitty with velvety-soft fur, a heart full of affection, and a purr so irresistible you’ll want to keep petting her forever.

She’s calm and easygoing—but don’t be fooled. When Wirla’s playful side comes out, she’s ready for fun! Whether she’s watching birds, enjoying attention, or relaxing with her feline and human friends in Feline Hall, she brings a gentle, joyful presence wherever she goes. It’s no wonder she’s a volunteer favorite—they absolutely adore her. Wirla is affectionate, loves attention, and gets along beautifully with other cats.

Ready to let Wirla purr her way into your heart? Come meet this sweet, playful girl and give her the loving forever home she’s been waiting for. The moment she curls up beside you, you may wonder how your home—and your heart—ever felt complete without her.

Adopt Wirla today, and begin a beautiful friendship filled with soft purrs, playful moments, and unconditional love.

If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

We are half way there!!!

We started with an incredibly generous anonymous donor offering to match $3,000 for the NAWS Shelter Pet Medical Fund.
Then something amazing happened. ❤️

After seeing the need, another generous donor stepped forward with an additional $7,000 match!

That means our $3,000 Matching Challenge is now a $10,000 MATCHING CHALLENGE! 🎉🐾

And thanks to all of YOU, we are half way there!

❤️ Every dollar donated will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $10,000. If we reach the full match, together we can turn $10,000 into $20,000 for the NAWS Shelter Pet Medical Fund!

👉 DONATE & DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT:
https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/retails-temporarily-closed-rescue-never-stops

And the need couldn't be more real.
🐶 5 Dogs are now fighting Parvo.
🐱 4 Cats are battling Panleukopenia.
🐱 3 Cats are fighting FIP.

These are just a few of the shelter pets who need us today.

With ReTails temporarily closed, an important source of funding for our Shelter Pet Medical Fund is on hold. But rescue isn't.
Their care can't wait for ReTails to reopen—and neither can the next animal who needs us.

🐾 $25 becomes $50
🐾 $50 becomes $100
🐾 $100 becomes $200

To our original anonymous donor, to the donor who stepped forward to make this match even bigger, and to every person who has donated or shared our plea — THANK YOU! ❤️

Let's keep this incredible momentum going!

ReTails may be temporarily closed. Rescue never stops.
