💔 URGENT FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPTER NEEDED FOR TWO SENIOR BROTHERS!

Meet Tuffy & Trouble! These two 12-year-old boys sadly lost their owner and, with no family or friends able to take them in, found themselves at a county shelter. Now, they’re facing an uncertain future through no fault of their own.

We’re trying to bring them to MHF, but we NEED a foster or foster-to-adopt home willing to take BOTH boys together before we can make that happen! These two are bonded and must stay together. ❤️

Here’s what we know:
🐾 Both are 12-year-old Heinz 57 mutts.
🐾 They grew up with kids and should do well with dog-savvy children who understand that senior dogs need their space and boundaries respected.
🐾 They prefer to be the only dogs in the home, so no other dogs.
🐾 Cat compatibility is unknown.
🐾 Their medical history is unknown.

Tuffy & Trouble deserve a safe, comfortable place to enjoy their golden years together. Even if you can only foster temporarily, you could make a huge difference in their lives!

🚨 CAN YOU OPEN YOUR HOME TO THESE SENIOR GENTLEMEN? Please message us ASAP if you can foster or foster-to-adopt and SHARE this post to help us find them a safe place to land!

🚨 URGENT: LOST CAT IN ALBEMARLE, NC (EASTERN MOST PART OF THE CHARLOTTE METROPOLITAN AREA!) PLEASE HELP FIND BUSTER! 🚨

Sweet Buster (who is a Laps and Naps alumni) darted out the door last weekend and hasn’t been seen since. His family (Samantha) is heartbroken and desperately trying to bring him home. 💔

They’ve searched, distributed flyers, contacted the shelter, knocked on doors, set traps, and placed food, shelters, and familiar scents around their property. Despite all their efforts, Buster is still missing.

🐾 Buster’s Details:

* Gray tabby, approximately 14 lbs
* 10+ years old
* Neutered male with a tipped ear

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Because Buster has a tipped ear, someone might mistake him for a stray or community cat. He is a beloved, missing pet who needs help getting home!

📍 Last seen: Love Street, Albemarle, NC 28001

📞 If you see Buster or have any information, please call 828-384-5992 immediately.

Please share this post, especially with anyone in the Albemarle area. Every share, sighting, and lead could make the difference in bringing this sweet senior boy home. 🙏🐾

Let’s help Buster find his way back to his family! ❤️

🐾 Meet Gypsy! (SPECIAL NEEDS SENIOR)🐾

Sweet 13-year-old Gypsy is looking for a loving new home. 💕 At just 6.8 lbs, this beautiful tabby is a gentle, curious senior who loves Cat TV, cozy cat beds, and long naps.

Gypsy’s beloved guardian is moving into hospice care, so she is sadly in need of a second chance. Gypsy is DEAF, but she has adapted wonderfully and uses her other senses to navigate the world. She is afraid of the dark, so a small light should be left on for her at night.

Gypsy is healthy, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She comes with her medical records and has recently received preventative treatment for fleas, ticks, roundworms, and ear mites.

This sweet senior deserves a quiet, cozy home where she can feel safe and loved for the rest of her days. 🩷

📍 Location: Flat Rock (South central Henderson County in Western NC)
🐾 13 years old | 6.8 lbs | Deaf | Domestic Shorthair Tabby

Could you be Gypsy’s forever family or foster? 🏡🐱
