A kitten sent from heaven – Boon’s Adoption Story

I got a cat named Bing, who I got for my third birthday. on November 7th, he passed away at 17.5 years old. I’ve had him my entire life! (at least the entire time i can remember) So that’s been really hard. I believe he was my soul cat. My mom rescued Bingy when he was 2 months old from the humane society of huron valley & he lived a great life. and i miss him very much. But on Friday, I got to go pick up my new kitten whom i’ve named Boon. He is beautiful, a longhair cat

Nova finds her forever home and gets the best big little sister!

My girlfriend and I came in just browsing after randomly finding the website and looking at all the puppies and dogs. We originally came to look at Bella a female cane corso mix, but the humane society accident had her tag and her brothers swapped right next to her. Once we noticed and got it switched and we’re looking at the right dog, we just knew we had to take her home.

The most perfect little cat in the world

We found and adopted our first cat, Percy, in 2019, and we quickly realized that Percy was lonely and in need of a friend. We found Pablo, now Caduceus, in one of the communal rooms, where many cats (often those who don’t know each other before sharing the room) live together. This ended up being a great indicator of Caduceus’ personality and socialization. Although Percy was apprehensive at first, we introduced them over a few weeks and now they are truly the best of friends. Caduceus is incredibly affectionate, chatty, adaptable, and charming. We are so lucky to have our
