| | Here’s something fun: animal lover and high-schooler Crow Abboushi is making cat and dog masks out of cereal boxes. Crow makes a form using the box and hot glue, adds some shaping with foam clay, then covers the mask with felt, fake fur and paint. Animal lovers make great crafters! | | |
Nala in Swahili means "Gift," and this beautiful one-year-old marmalade tabby lives up to her name. Nala was rescued on a cold February day when she was days away from giving birth. On Feb. 9, two adorable kittens were added to our ACHS family.
All three are now thriving and up for adoption. Mama Nala has been lovingly devoted to her girls while always cozying up to her foster caregiver. She's a cat who greets people at the door with head nudges and purrs of pleasure.
Nala is often playful and especially loves nice pole chases. She's relaxed and friendly. Mama Nala, or, as her foster calls her, Mamalade, is a wonderful companion kitty,
truly a cat who is laid back and affectionate.
Nala may be fine as an only cat, but knowing that she connects with people, it's ideal if she is adopted to a home where she is sure to get the love and attention she enjoys.

Evelyn is a remarkable girl with a story of strength, resilience, and love. After surviving panleukopenia and raising her babies, Etta, Pippa, Kate, and Hunter, later in life, Evelyn has more than earned her chance at the good life. Through everything she’s faced, she has remained a devoted mother and a true trooper.
Now that her kittens are growing up, it’s finally Evelyn’s turn to be cared for and spoiled the way she deserves. She is ready for a forever home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy all the comforts of indoor life. Whether she’s lounging in a sunny spot, enjoying affection from her people, or simply soaking in the peace and quiet, Evelyn is ready to leave her hard days behind her.
Evelyn’s journey is a testament to her incredible spirit, and she deserves a family who will cherish her for the wonderful cat she is. She is approximately six years old.

Cain is our longest resident, and more than anything we want to see him find a home of his own. He’s safe and loved in a foster home, but still waiting for the forever family he’s never had.
When Cain first came to us, it was clear he hadn’t known much kindness. He had spent much of his life chained outside, without the comfort every dog deserves.
Even then his loving, excited personality was waiting to shine. With time, care, and the support of his foster family, Cain has completely come into his own: he’s affectionate, eager, and full of life. He gets excited to see his people, leans in for attention, and has fully embraced the joys of indoor living (especially cozy blankets).
Cain would do best in a quiet home with no other animals, where he can truly relax and feel secure. He has so much love to give and has been waiting far too long for someone to give him a chance.
He has waited longer than any dog should. It’s his turn.

Fern is a sweet ~2 year old girl who is looking for a calm, low-key home to call her own. This gorgeous brown tabby would love to be the queen of the castle and would do best as the only cat in the home.
Fern enjoys the simple things in life, curling up in a comfy bed, lounging in a cat tree, and spending quiet time with her people. She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle and peaceful feline friend.
