🤩 Meet Tommy!

Tommy is an adorable 6-month-old kitten who is equal parts playful and sweet. He loves to have fun and do all the silly kitten things you’d expect, but he’s also an affectionate little guy with lots of love to give.

He’s at that perfect age where he’s still very much a kitten, full of curiosity and energy, but his sweet personality is already shining through.

Tommy is ready to trade shelter life for a home and family of his own. If you’ve been thinking about adding a little black kitty to your family, come meet him, he might just be the one.

Visit HOPE Tues-Sun from 12p-3p to meet Tommy and many other adoptable pets!

🐾 MEET FRITZ — WORTH THE WAIT! 🐾

At just 4 years old, Fritz has plenty of love and companionship ahead of him — he just needs the right person to share it with. 🖤

Fritz may not be the first cat to run up and demand your attention, but give this handsome guy a little time, and you just might earn yourself a friend for life.

Fritz is what we like to call a “slow burner.” He’s a shy gentleman who prefers to get to know you at his own pace. But once he decides you’re one of his people, that trust and friendship are incredibly special.

☀️ Fritz is also a serious connoisseur of comfort. Give him a cozy spot and a sunny window, and he’ll happily clock in for his shift as the neighborhood’s professional birdwatcher. 🐦👀

What Fritz needs most is a calm, patient home with someone who understands that the best relationships aren’t always instant. He just needs the chance to feel safe, settle in, and blossom on his own timeline.

If you have a quiet home, a sunny window, and a little patience to give, Fritz might be the one you’ve been waiting for. 🖤

Come meet Fritz at HOPE Animal Shelter and give this sweet, shy guy the chance to show you just how special he is.

🐾 Please share to help Fritz find his forever home!

🖤 Black cats deserve happy endings too... and Vicky is ready for hers! 🖤

Meet Vicky, a gorgeous little panther with bright eyes, a playful spirit, and a heart full of love. 🐈‍⬛✨

One minute she's chasing a feather wand, pouncing on a crinkly paper ball, or trying to catch that impossible laser dot... and the next she's curled up beside you, soaking up pets and cuddles. Vicky has the perfect mix of fun-loving energy and sweet affection.

She doesn't need anything fancy—just someone who will laugh at her silly antics, join in a play session, and give her a warm lap when she's ready to relax.

Vicky at a glance:
🐾 Female
🐾 Spayed
🐾 Approximately 2 years old
🐾 Approximately 12 lbs.
🐾 Playful and affectionate
🐾 Loves toys, exploring, and cuddle time

Sadly, black cats are often overlooked in shelters, but we know there's someone out there who will see just how special she is. Could that be you?

🏡 If you're looking for a beautiful, playful companion with a loving heart, come meet Vicky. We think you'll fall in love the moment those stunning green eyes look your way.

❤️ Please share to help Vicky find the forever family she's been waiting for!

Visit this gorgeous gal at the shelter, 8950 N Joplin Lane, Tues-Sun from 12p-3p.
