Dustin.

He’s chatty, he’s mischievous and he’s a little bit over the top. But he’s also gloriously affectionate and 100% perfect.

Please, help us tell him how pretty he is because he can never hear it enough.

Sometimes the daily chores of rescue can be exhausting, but when a perfect match comes together, every drop of sweat is worth it.

To fully describe how perfect this match was tonight is difficult. Maury was a little more shy meeting his new parents than we expected, but we totally understand. Being just a baby, and adopted by your very own mom & dad is a lot. But what we do know is that Maury will have fallen in love with them, probably before he even gets home this evening.

Ryan and Samantha recently welcomed a little boy home and knew he needed a buddy. Now these two will grow up to be two peas in a pod, with parents that will undoubtedly pamper them more than they ever dreamed was possible.

Seeing you go was hard on us, Maury, but our sadness is superseded by our excitement for all of your adventures ahead. ❤️

We almost can’t believe we’re writing this - because if you asked us 4 months ago, we didn’t know if we’d be here today. But Estelle, our sassy, quirky, playful, beautiful girl may just be ready for a home.

Now, finding her home won’t be easy, but if you know anything about us, you know we’re always up for a challenge.

Estelle’s home must not have kids, dogs or the possibility of either but a friendly kitten or laid back cat would be no problem. Her home must have experience with some sass - and have multiple ways to help their best girl decompress. They must have patience, forgiveness and understanding. Her family needs to be willing to go at Estelle’s pace yet but knowledgeable enough to know when to push her out of her comfort zone.

And most of all, her family must be ready to love her, for exactly who she is. We know we do - and the shear thought of saying goodbye to her one day is already hard on us, but when we promised her a chance at life with a family, we meant it.

Estelle is on fluoxetine daily to help her manage her big feelings and it does wonders for her. The cost of this is about $60/month in addition to her regular cares. Estelle also has a partially collapsed trachea and asthmatic lungs and while they do not cause her any issues currently, her family must be prepared for any potential issues down the line.

Estelle is truly one in a million for a million reasons. We love every part of her and know someone out there will to. If you think she maybe a good fit for you, email us at [email protected].

It’s Ginger Cat Appreciation Day and we’re here for it!

Gingers have a reputation for being a little bit silly & a little bit goofy - and we love them to no end!

If you have a ginger, share them below and tell us the goofiest thing they do!

Rain or shine, our volunteers continue to show up and you all showed out.

Yesterday’s weather during the Boomtown festivities was less than ideal. Vendors battled on and off rain and wind, but Addison and her grandmas didn’t think about stopping the bake sale for BT for a second.

At the end of the day, Addison raised an astonishing $1,041.

$1,041 in cookies, love and pure heart.

To say this girl constantly amazes us is an understatement.

Thank you, Addison, for your continued efforts, her grandmas for baking up a storm and enduring the weather, her parents for baking and helping her organize and all of our supporters who made this an incredible success. ❤️

From the moment you were born, part of us wanted to keep you forever. We loved your soft mews, your sweet eyes and your striking markings. Most of all, though, we loved your dazzling personality - the way you leaned in for snuggles; roughhoused with your friends & followed it up in a cuddle puddle.

Manny, we have loved loving you & love you enough we knew we had to let you go. Having you at BT has been a pleasure, but you deserve a life of love and pampering. When Kelly reached out, we knew a hard goodbye was coming. Kelly previously adopted Timothy we couldn’t have chosen a better companion for him.

Bye bye, Manny. We miss you immensely, but this is your time to shine. ❤️

Tonight we want to introduce our BT family to one of our more recent intakes, Chirps. Chirps is an extremely sweet & special boy that already has each of us head over heels in love with him.

Chirps is a sweet senior at 14.5 years old. After being picked up as a stray in Linn County at 5 months old, Chirps was taken to another rescue facility and quickly adopted. Unfortunately, his newest mom chose to abandon him inside a hotel, where he was found hiding behind a dryer.

What should have been one of the worst moments of Chirps’ life became one of the best, however, because after becoming eligible for adoption again, Chirps was adopted into a loving home that pampered, loved and adored him for over 13 years.

Very sadly, Chirps lost his mom 3 years ago and recently he lost his dad, too. Chirps’ dad loved him with his entire heart and we’ve promised his family we’ll do everything we can to help Chirps start the next chapter in his life.

Although afraid upon arrival, it didn’t take Chirps long to begin to get comfortable. He is curious, sweet and mellow - with a side of playful. He longs for companionship and simply wants a warm lap to lay in, day in and day out.

Chirps is front paw declawed. He did occasionally urinate outside of the box at home. While he has not done that in our care, his home should be prepared and ready to work with him through any urinary issues. Chirps is also on prescription Science Diet ZD food and hydrolyzed treats.

We are loving every moment we have with Chirps, but we also know he deserves to spend his senior years back in a home. As we continue to get to know him, please email any questions to [email protected].

Until then, please help us welcome this sweet, sweet boy.
