Congratulations on 2 Years!

As we close out another incredible year, we can’t help but reflect on how much has happened since we first opened our doors two years ago. Your support and the connections we’ve made have meant everything to us, and we’re so grateful to be part of such a welcoming and vibrant community. Let us...

Just look at that face....Hey there, future minion—uh, I mean, potential human! My name is Talie, and I’m a 5-year-old Domestic Short hair (though I like to think of myself as a domestic overlord in training). If you're reading this, you might just be the kind of special someone I need: cat-savvy, patient, and ready to worship me from a safe and respectful distance! Let’s cut to the chase: I’m not your typical “cuddle bug.” I like things my way—and I’ll be very clear about what that means! I’m a master of signals, so if you’re good at reading feline body language, we’ll get along great! I’m not into sharing my kingdom with other animals or tiny humans. They just don’t understand boundaries, and I really don’t like my boundaries crossed! If I roll over and show you my belly, don’t fall for it—it’s a trap! Eye contact? Nope. Fast movements? Hard pass. Strangers? Don’t even think about it! I love climbing up high where I can watch everything from a safe perch. It’s my happy place! Wand toys and mice toys are my jam! Bring those, and you’re already halfway to earning my respect! With the right person who respects my quirks and is willing to give me the time and space I need to adjust, I’ll make a loyal (and very entertaining) companion! You see, I’m not a bad cat—I just have a lot of feelings, and I need someone who can help me work through them! So, if you’re up for the challenge of being my chosen person and can give me the space and love I deserve (on my terms, of course), let’s talk! Come on down and meet me during our open hours Thursday 11a.m. to 3p.m. or call 603-354-4004 to schedule an appointment Friday through Sunday! I’ll be waiting—probably up high, watching, and judging!

Always remember...

New Hampshire’s Jessica’s Law requires drivers to clear snow and ice from their vehicles before hitting the road, emphasizing safety for everyone on the road. Named after Jessica Smith, who tragically lost her life when ice flew off a truck and caused a fatal accident, this law holds drivers accountable for maintaining clear windshields, roofs, and other parts of their vehicles to prevent hazardous flying debris.

Just a little humor on a very cold Wednesday in NH.😁

Hi there! I’m Charlie and I’ve got a lot to say—lucky for you, I’m pretty vocal! I’m full of energy, which means I’ll need someone who can keep up with my zest for life while also helping me with my special recovery plan. Let me tell you a little more about myself: Energetic & Enthusiastic: I’m always on the go and love to explore! However, I recently had surgery for hip dysplasia (FHO surgery in August), so my playtime has to stay gentle and short for now. Future Health Care Needs: I’ll need regular vet checkups and joint supplements forever. A low-calorie diet will help me stay fit since my joints can’t handle extra weight. And heads up—I may need surgery on my other hip one day. Chew-tastic: If it’s chewable, it’s mine! Blankets, toys, you name it—so I’ll need lots of sturdy chew toys and supervision. No Cats, Please: I have a high prey drive, so I’m not a good match for a home with cats. Doggy Friends: I’ve lived with a high-energy dog before, and we didn’t click. But I might do well with a calm, laid-back canine companion. If you’re the right fit for me, you’ll get a loyal, loving, and slightly goofy partner who will keep life interesting! I know I have some extra needs, but I promise I’ll make it worth your while! Please come and visit me during our open hours Thursday 11a.m. to 3p.m. or call 603-354-4004 to schedule an appointment for Friday through Sunday!

FYI....

As winter weather moved across a lot of the country yesterday, here's a reminder of smart steps to take if you find an animal in need.

Thank you for watching out for community cats and their welfare. We're all they have! 😻
