🌟 Adoption Update & Gentle Reminder 🌟
This week started with so much joy as several of our long-time feline residents found their forever homes. 💛 But we've also seen a few of those adoptions sadly turn into returns — with some cats labeled as "feral."
We want to gently remind our wonderful community about the 3-3-3 rule for adopted animals:
🐾 3 Days to decompress
🐾 3 Weeks to learn your routine
🐾 3 Months to feel at home
Many of our cats have spent over 200 days in our care — building trust, learning routines, and feeling safe here. Being adopted is a big, exciting change, but it's also a major adjustment. Imagine being suddenly placed in a brand-new environment with unfamiliar sights, sounds, and people. It can be overwhelming.
A shy or scared cat isn’t "feral" — they’re just trying to understand their new world. Please don’t chase, force cuddles, or assume affection needs to happen instantly. Let them come to you on their own terms — trust takes time.
💬 If you're feeling unsure during the adjustment period, our team is here to support you! We want every adoption to be a successful, happy experience — for both humans and animals.
Thank you for your patience, compassion, and willingness to learn. Together, we can help these deserving cats finally feel at home. 🐱💕
