🐾 Help Us Find Loving Homes for 5 Sweet Cats 🐾

A member of our community is transitioning to a higher level of care, and we are hoping to find safe, loving homes for their beloved cats.

We are seeking adopters for 5 adult cats, ages 7–10 years old. All are spayed/neutered and accustomed to being in a home. These cats deserve stability, comfort, and care as they begin their next chapter.

If you or someone you know may be able to welcome one of these cats into your family, please send us a message or email afisher@mhaorangeny.com. We are happy to share more information and help with next steps.

Even sharing this post can make a meaningful difference. 💛
