💔🐾 They’re Counting on Us… 🐾💔

Every rescue story we share started the same way — with a little life who needed someone to believe in them. Some arrive scared. Some arrive sick. Some arrive with nowhere else to go.
But because of you, they leave loved, healed, and finally safe.

Right now, we’re halfway to our See’s Candies fundraiser goal… and that means we’re halfway to changing even more lives. 🍫✨

When you buy See’s, it’s not “just candy.”
It becomes warm beds, full bellies, lifesaving vet care, tiny purrs, and second chances for the kittens and cats who have been through far too much.

🌟 Your purchase becomes their hope.
🌟 Your support becomes their healing.
🌟 Your kindness becomes their future.

We have until December 5th — and every single order helps us keep saying “yes” to the ones who need us most.

🍬 Shop here to make a difference:

Please share. Please spread the word.
For them… it truly means the world. 💗🐱

🚨 HAYWARD ANIMAL SHELTER NEEDS YOUR HELP! 🚨
The shelter is facing major cuts because of a budget deficit not caused by them, but by city decisions — including spending $10 million on a vacant movie theater last year.

Now, the City plans to “fix” this by eliminating the per diem employees who KEEP the shelter open.
🐾 The TNR program? Gone.
🐾 The kitten foster program? Gone.
🐾 Critical spay/neuter services? Gone.
🐾 Intake capacity slashed.
🐾 Euthanasia rates likely to rise.

Last year, TNR alone saved over 800 cats — and that’s just one program at risk.

👉 TAKE ACTION:
📧 Email the Mayor & City Council (one email reaches all):
List-Mayor-Council@hayward-ca.gov

📍 Attend the public City Council Meeting:
Tuesday, December 2nd at 7 p.m.
City Hall – 777 B Street, Hayward, CA 94545

Animals can’t speak for themselves — WE have to speak for them.
Please SHARE this post and help protect the shelter that has served our community for years. ❤️🐾

Meet Brandon and Marianne — two little souls overflowing with love and ready to share it with you.

Brandon is the definition of a sweetheart. This gentle tuxedo boy doesn’t just wait for affection — he seeks it out. He’ll leap right onto your shoulders just to be close, leaning in to give the tiniest “air kisses” that melt your heart every time. His love is pure, constant, and full of joy — the kind that makes every day a little brighter.

His sister Marianne is a stunning tabby explorer with a soft heart and a curious spirit. Once she trusts you, she’ll curl up nearby and remind you that love can be quiet, too. Together, they’re a perfect pair — affectionate, playful, and ready to bring warmth and laughter to their forever home.

🤠 Meet Cowboy – your rowdy, sweet little outlaw!
At just 2.5 months old, Cowboy’s already stealing hearts with his bold spirit, goofy zoomies, and melt-in-your-arms cuddles. His koi-like coat is as unique as his personality—and trust us, this boy is full of it.

Whether he’s on the move or snoozing in your lap, Cowboy brings nonstop joy and a whole lotta love. He’d be happiest with a kitten pal, so ask us about a perfect match when you apply!

Thea—a stunning young cat just shy of her first birthday, full of charm, curiosity, and affection. She’s clever, playful, and has a wonderfully expressive side—especially when she’s looking for your attention. And when it’s time to unwind? She’s the ultimate snuggle buddy.

With her eye-catching coat and silky fur, Thea isn’t just beautiful—she’s a source of comfort and joy for whoever is lucky enough to call her family.

She gets along wonderfully with other cats, though her occasional bossiness means she’d pair best with mellow, laid-back feline friends. Given the colony’s history with dogs, a cat-only home is ideal. That said, Thea would also thrive as your one-and-only.

Thea is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations.

Please help us find a true forever family—one that’s committed for life, not just for convenience. If you are interested fill out an Adoption Questionnaire (link in bio) or visit her on Petfinder

Brandon and Marianna’s story began with hardship, but their hearts are filled with nothing but love. As part of a litter abandoned as kittens, their mother was so friendly that a kindhearted employee near their colony took her home—unaware that she had little ones still depending on her.

The moment @colony_35 learned of their situation, he jumped into action, and within 24 hours, these precious kittens were safely trapped and brought into care. Now, at six months old, Brandon and Marianna are ready to find a forever home where they can share their boundless affection.

At every turn, they will shower you with purrs, cuddles, and devotion. These two aren’t just looking for a home—they’re ready to fill yours with warmth and companionship.

Both are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped
