Meet Abraham, a sleek black kitten with a secret… his hidden tabby stripes shimmer in the sunlight like a little surprise just for you. Born on Easter, his name is a nod to blessings and new beginnings, and he’s sure to bring joy to any family lucky enough to adopt him.
Abraham is full of personality and charm. He’ll run to greet you at the door, flopping over with happiness and purring up a storm. Inquisitive and clever, he was the first of his litter to figure out all the fun that kitten life has to offer. He loves all kinds of toys but has a special passion for wand toys—he’ll chase them as long as you’ll keep them moving! With boundless energy, sweet chirps, and endless cuddles, Abraham is your very own miniature panther ready to brighten every day. Don’t miss out on this special little guy!
Another Easter baby, little Joseph is a bundle of springtime joy! This charming gray tabby is easy to spot with his sweet white face and tiny white boots that make him even more irresistible. Joseph is all heart. He adores kisses, starts purring the moment you pick him up, and never says no to a good snuggle. When he’s not curled up in your arms, he’s busy romping around with his brothers, chasing toys, and mastering the art of being a kitten. With his gentle nature and playful spirit, Joseph is ready to fill his forever home with warmth, love, and endless joy.

Allow us to introduce the adorable new puppy on the block, Drago… a velvet blue brindle bulldozer of love. Like the ending of Rocky IV, this puppy is guaranteed to bring people together, cheering and applauding his absolutely pure puppy heart!
Drago is a five-month-old Mix who’s equal parts cuddle bug and canine comedian. This happy-go-lucky pup greets every person and animal like a long-lost friend at a surprise party. His current hobbies include loving everyone he meets, wagging his whole body at the speed of light, professional zoomie artist and will accompany you to the bathroom as if he is your personal security detail.
At just a few months old, Drago has already mastered the art of housebreaking! He’s a growing boy, weighing in at a cuddly 35 lbs. now, but is expected to grow into an approximate 80 lbs. lap dog loaded with pure joy and snuggles.
Drago is fully housebroken, great with kids, cats, dogs, and probably even your weird neighbor. He is currently practicing for his future as a professional couch hippo and sunbathing land seal and looking for a home that matches his high-energy lifestyle. If your family’s ready to laugh more, move more, and experience unconditional love in its goofiest form, come meet Drago. He’s not just a dog-he’s a whole personality. If you are interested in meeting Drago, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with him in a domestic setting.
