January 26: Baby bear Binx update!⁣
⁣
I am obsessed with this sweetie and so are his new mom and kitty brother. ⁣
⁣
“Binx is precious sweet!!! He seems to feel perfectly at home. He loves to be scratched and to cuddle! He would like to cuddle my big cat too, but that will take a little more time. He's quite rough when he plays with my big guy so they're taking it a little slow, but l see progress every day. They even rub when they walk past each other sometimes.”⁣
⁣
Finding great homes for abandoned kittens like Binx is why we do this and it feels amazing!⁣

January 25: Revolving door? Sometimes cats are headed out the door after barely being with us at all. Wally is such a case! This gentle giant rocking a half-stasche charmed everyone he met and today he charmed his new #pawrents!⁣. 🥰

January 24: Today is Change A Pet's Life Day featuring Floor cat Bella!⁣
⁣
Here are 5 ways you can change a pet's life:⁣
⁣
💟 Adopt⁣
Adopt your new furever friend from #awlmc or @mcasac or find a perfect match on Petfinder.com!⁣
⁣
💟 If you can't adopt, foster!⁣
Our Intake Fosters will care for an adult cat that comes from a public shelter for 2-3 weeks. This is done to make sure the incoming cat is 100% healthy before introducing it to the cats in our shelter. This time will also give the foster a chance to interact and get to know that cat. The more we know about a cat’s personality the easier it will be to find the best home for it! Email our Foster Team with any questions you may have. Our email is Foster@AWLMC.org⁣

💟 Volunteer⁣

⁣
💟 Vet Your Pet⁣
Take good care of your animals by vetting them and keeping them healthy for life! Please spay and neuter your animals and encourage family and friends to do the same! This helps control the pet homelessness crisis, which results in millions of healthy dogs and cats being euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. ⁣
⁣
💟 Donate / Raise Awareness⁣
Host a birthday fundraiser for AWLMC! Designate us as your charity of choice on AmazonSmile. Spread love on social media – Every like and share helps more people find out about and love AWLMC! If you're not already, follow us on Instagram @catsofmoco & Twitter @AWLMC!⁣

January 23: Looking for a laugh? Bogart (fka Bogey) has hit what his adopter is calling his terrible twos! He’s into absolutely everything and has non-stop kitten energy. ⁣
⁣
Her solution? Alexa! “Here is some thing I do that works when I see him in action. I tell Alexa to make cat noises. Both Bogart and Bridget go looking for the cat. They are totally intrigued by hearing meow sounds coming from a machine. They do not hiss or show any territorial activity… It just gets their attention and they stop what they’re doing to go check it out. 🤣”⁣
⁣
I think this is the best use for #alexa that I’ve heard yet!⁣

**2020 Pawsitivity Post**⁣ ⁣ January 22: Silve

January 22: Silver linings. This fluffy faced beauty is Nora. Nora’s owner reached out to us because he has no choice but to give her up. I’m sympathetic to his position because it’s out of hands but it still sucks. Not sounding super #positive yet?⁣
⁣
The silver lining is that Nora’s human loves her enough to ensure she is cared for and not abandoned. He worked with us so we could learn her personality and bring her into our family. ⁣
⁣
Nora has had a pretty crap week, but it’s ok because in the long run we will find her a new home where she can continue to be loved and cared for!⁣

Strudel mood #7: “Biscuits!” Though she can be

Strudel mood #7: “Biscuits!” Though she can be standoffish to visitors at first, Strudel makes the most delicate biscuits while purring sweetly. Our volunteers don’t understand why this girl hasn’t found a home and are really hoping that her special someone will come find her soon.
