We apologize for any inconvenience, but we’ll be closing temporarily as several of our cats have been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal infection called coccidia. To ensure the health and safety of all our cats, we’ll be focusing on treatment and preventing further spread. We expect to remain closed until early December, possibly longer, to thoroughly clear the infection. We will not be conducting adoption appointments during the closure. Please check our Facebook page and website for updates on when we’ll be reopening and resuming adoption appointments. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
