How is Starburst still here? Please call the shelter if you are interested in meeting her because she deserves a forever home like her kittens.

💔 All of Starburst’s babies found their forever homes… but Mama is still waiting. 💔

Starburst has done what every good mama does—she loved, protected, and cared for her babies until they were safe and ready to find families of their own. 🥹❤️

One by one, her babies have been adopted… and now there’s just one thing missing from Starburst’s happily ever after: her forever family. 🏡✨

This sweet girl is incredibly loving, gentle, and affectionate, and she deserves to be spoiled and loved just as much as she loved her babies.

🌟 Let’s not let Mama Starburst be forgotten. 🌟
Please share her story and help us find the loving home she’s been waiting for. She’s currently in a foster home, so a meet-and-greet can be scheduled by calling:

📞 910-875-4827

Her babies got their happy ending. Now it’s Starburst’s turn. 💕🐾

🐾❤️ VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! ❤️🐾

Our kitty residents could use some extra help. We will be very short staffed.

We are looking for volunteers to help us this Friday, September 4th, and next week Tuesday thru Friday.

⏰ Start time: Around 8:15–8:30 AM
🐱 Time needed: About 2 hours

The job mainly involves helping clean and tidy the cat rooms, scoop litter boxes, sanitize, refresh bedding, and make sure our kitties have a clean and comfortable space. We could also use some help washing the dishes 🥰

You don’t have to be a professional cat whisperer (although the cats may decide you are one 😹). We just need people who are willing to lend a helping hand!

If you can help, please comment below with the day(s) you are available. ❤️

Every helping hand makes a HUGE difference for our animals and our staff. We appreciate our volunteers more than you know! 🐾
If you have questions, please feel free to give us a call. 910-875-4827.

🐾💔 DON’T LET PUMPKIN BE LEFT BEHIND 💔🐾

One of the saddest parts of working in an animal shelter is watching the puppies and kittens get adopted one by one… while their mamas are left behind. 💔

This sweet girl is Pumpkin, mama to the three tiny kittens we just posted. 🎃🐱 She has done her job….she raised her babies, kept them safe, and now it’s finally her turn to find a family of her own.

Pumpkin is estimated to be about 2 years old, and she is a very friendly girl who is ready for adoption NOW! 🧡

Please help us make sure Pumpkin doesn’t spend her days watching her babies find homes while she waits for someone to choose her. She deserves a loving home, too. 🥺🏡

🐾 Pumpkin is ready to meet you!

📍 Hoke County Animal Shelter
🕙 Adoption Hours: Monday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM

Please SHARE Pumpkin’s post! ❤️ You never know….her perfect family might be just one share away. 🐾✨
