Hi! My partner and I adopted Café last week and we wanted to let you know that she is the absolute sweetest, most loving girl. We couldn’t be happier. She has loved curling up in our laps for a nap since our first hours at home. She loves her cat tree and her cactus toy, but mostly just loves being around her people. We can’t thank you enough for bringing her into our lives! Thank you!

Hello, We adopted Spencer (3 year old black lab) on May 26.  Our 10 year old golden had recently died and we were missing having a dog in our lives.

Good evening! Just sending in an update on Johnny as we all settle in. Johnny so far has loved being rocked like a baby, suckling on the sleeves of my hoodies, and sleeping on top of our pillows. He gets along wonderfully with the neighbors dog and they’re starting to become good friends. The first thing Johnny does when I get home is do a figure 8 between my legs until I hold him lol! He is such

Hi! I wanted to give you an update on Cammie Camden. We adopted her from you on Dec 23rd.
