Biiiiiiiiiig stretch! (Jack - adoptable)

A lil Trixie burrito 😍

Heyyyyyy I heard you guys like rescue cats? Well I've got good news: this right here happens to be a starter pack of cat rescues, sanctuaries, and other cat-related non-profits in the U.S. put together by @catcarenetworkiowa.bsky.social. bsky.app/starter-pack...

It's raining cats and more cats here! Everyone say hello to newbies: 🐵 MONKEY - a big, grey & white 8-year-old. 💎 SALLY - a gorgeous 15-year-old tortie point. 🤎 OLIVIA - a sweet 13-year-old brown tabby. 🍯 WINNIE - an outgoing 15-year-old brown & white tabby. Welcome to your new life, kiddos!

The handsomest boi, Samuel 😍

Buddy the Frog wants you to know that he and his brother Rusty are available for adoption together from @youngatheartpets.bsky.social. adoptaseniorpet.com/adopt/availa...

This. Sweet. Face. 🥹 Who wouldn’t want to gaze into these eyes? 🧡 Sinbad 🧡 (adoptable)

If you’ve ever wondered just how enthusiastic Lucky the beagle is during his hydrotherapy sessions… 😅 #beaglesofskyblue #aroo

She conquered the stairs to get onto the couch today! TRIXIE may be small (3 whole pounds!) but she’s mighty! 💪

Saturday snuggles 🥰 Rusty and Buddy

10 year old Tundra, aka “The Dude” is just a big ol’ perfect example of why senior dogs deserve a chance. He’s a gentle giant, loves everyone, and is so smart. Yes, he’s arthritic and Heartworm positive, but those are things we can address through good vet care. His huge love of life is priceless. ❤️

ADOPTED & LOVED ❤️ 10 year old Grandmama is home with her new mom, Maeve❣️ "She's adapting very well in her new home and showing more of her personality everyday... She loves to burrow under the covers, hang out on the windowsills, and play with string toys! She is such a joy." Yay!!

ADOPTED & LOVED! ❤️ 7 year old Charlie went home with now FOUR-PEAT adopters Rudy and Joyce! "Charlie is an absolute sweetheart. He's loving his backyard and walks and lets us know when he has to go potty. Definitely a great choice for us and definitely loves to snuggle. Can't thank you enough."

🎼 Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you....These 3 senior kitties had a mom who loved them very much but she was sadly diagnosed with dementia & moved into assisted living. Now Jack, Janet, and Chrissy are safe with us, and we'll make sure their golden years are their best years. ❤️

Linus and his blue ducky soaking up the morning sunshine. Could there be a better start to the week? ☀️

Never fear! Rusty is here to help boost your WiFi signal 📡

Oh hello. Come here often? - Sprinkles

We are all in the debris field of a SpaceX mishap

It’s a good day to save a black senior kitty! A stray no one came looking for, who sat for months in a cage at animal control without interest. Never again, sweet girl! Now it’s time to be spoiled in your golden years! Welcome Genevieve! ❤️❤️❤️

“It’s been a long week.” - Fanny is all of us on Monday.

“Oh hey, food. Heeeeeeeeey!” - Double Stuft 😸

Definitely plotting some sort of mischief… Adoptables Kaia and Debby

TUNDRA ❤️ This sweet ol’ boy was just rescued, coming to us from a rural shelter not equipped to care for senior pets. He’s probably 10-ish years old, so incredibly gentle and kind, and a Very Good Dog. And he looooves his emotional support toys! Welcome to the good life, Tundra! We’ve got you!

What cute little senior nugget is this? Our newest rescue, Trixie, is a mere 3 pounds of pure adorableness. 😍We can’t wait to get to know her and find her a wonderful home in her golden years!

"Soon, I will rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have." Though his time with us was far too short, it was stuffed to the brim with love, comfort, snuggles, and family. See you on the other side, Yoda. May the Force be with you always. 🌈🐾

“But I don’t want to deal with Monday.” - Buddy

The hangry meal sploot by Gizmo 🥰

Stella and her RBF. She’s actually purring right now and is the sweetest thing 🤣 This adoptable girl is PAWsome! #catsofbluesky

Every day is a good day for some catitude. - Margie #catsofbluesky

“I present you with this slobbered on squeaky wrench. It turns frowns upside down.” 🙃 -Charlie #dogsofbluesky

“Screw this, it’s too cold! We’ve decided to pee inside today. Let us back in!” 🥶 - The Littles #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs

Meet new rescue, 10-year-old Wolfie! Surrendered to our local animal control due to his owner having end stage Alzheimers, we went and got him just as soon as we had space. He’s a very good boy, and very very sweet. A real life squishy marshmallow 🥰

Nova and Snickers are loving the snow ❄️

Yoda the Pug vs OG Yoda. What do you think? Twinsies? @markhamillofficial.bsky.social #yoda #twinning

🚨NEWBIE ALERT! This lil senior pumpkin was out of time at animal control, so we busted her out! Meet Midge! She’s the cutest little Peke and we can’t wait to spoil her in her golden years. Welcome to Young at Heart, Midge! 😋

Good morning!

Trying out my new blind dog Halo. It feels a lil weird. The rescue humans say it’s good for me.… something about not ricocheting off of the walls with my face so much 🤷‍♀️ So far everything else they’ve done for me makes me feel much better, so I’ll just roll with this crazy contraption, too. ❤️ Yoda

You look a little worried, human 🥺 Would you like my toy? I share with you. -Sasha

Lucky makes recovering from surgery look cool. 😎 Lucky just had his first of two knee (TPLO) surgeries, and is getting cold laser therapy to help with healing. The goggles protect his eyes while the laser is on - but don’t tell him that. He wants us to call him Joe Cool now.

Yoda 🥺 His list of medical needs is huuuuuge. But our love for him is so much bigger.

We like to draw silly things on the cat room doors. The cats humor us.
