Meet Kuchi Kopi!

This sweet girl is equal parts gentle, curious and adorable. Kuchi Kopi loves spending time with her people and will happily hop around exploring every little nook and cranny she can find. When she’s not off on an adventure, you can usually find her stretched out on a cozy blanket, munching on fresh veggies or showing off the happiest little binkies when she’s feeling extra content.

Kuchi Kopi is ready to find a loving home where she can continue to charm everyone she meets with her affectionate personality and playful spirit. Interested in adopting? Fill out an application at ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org

Let's help Kuchi Kopi find her perfect adopter.

Meet Queen Grogda & Elfo!

This stunning 1-year-old black and white beauty is searching for a kingdom to call home — and she’s bringing her beloved daughter along with her! These two are a bonded pair, meaning they’re inseparable best friends who must be adopted together.

Queen Grogda may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but beneath her reserved exterior is an independent and gentle soul who enjoys having her own space while still being near her humans. She’s already spayed and ready to settle into a calm, patient home with human companions ages 13 and older.

If you’re looking for two special girls to rule your heart and your couch, Queen Grogda and her daughter would love to meet you.
