Wishing a Happy Birthday to KitKat (black and white) and Yoda! We're thrilled to share that KitKat and Cricket (A.K.A. Yoda) are thriving in their loving forever home. KitKat just celebrated her first birthday and is still as sweet and playful as ever—her owner even calls her a “wild child.” Yoda, who is turning three this week, remains a “little angel” and adores her big brother. Both are flourishing and embracing life to the fullest.It warms our hearts to know that our furry friends have found their perfect match. KitKat and Cricket's companion sent us a heartfelt note: “Thank you, Friends For Life, for giving me the chance to adopt these two sweethearts. I feel truly blessed.” 🥰Considering adoption?

Bunji has been adopted! His journey to finding a forever home is quite a tale. As his foster family prepared to leave the country, Bunji urgently needed either a forever home or a new foster. On the very last day before his fosters' departure, fate stepped in, and he was invited for a sleepover. Not surprisingly, Bunji’s adopters fell head over heels for him, just like we did, and decided to finalize the adoption!But Bunji's story doesn't end with adoption. He still receives lifelong support from our behavior team, a resource available to all Friends For Life adopters. #unsheltered
Hello there! I'm Gato, your future feline friend. Playtime is my favorite pastime, and I've yet to encounter a mouse toy I didn't adore or a gentle scratch behind the ears I didn't relish! While I may initially appear shy and cautious when making new friends, once we get to know each other, I'll be your steadfast companion for life. If you're seeking a loyal companion to share your days with and engage in playful antics, then look no further—I#unsheltered guy! Link in profile. #unsheltered
We had the privilege of meeting students, parents, and the Principal from Harvard Elementary, who participated in the National Elementary Honor Society's Save the Animals campaign as part of their community service. These young ladies made and sold delicious baked goods, raising $600. Adding to their achievement, they collaborated with Chevron to secure a matching donation of $600, totaling $1,200! During their visit, they toured Friends For Life and had the chance to meet Spice, along with some of our wonderful shelter friends. We want to express our gratitude to these young ladies. Their commitment to serving the community will significantly benefit sheltered animals in need.
Fun fact: Just like cats, did you know that content and relaxed rabbits also purr? Introducing Evie. Evie's not your average bunny—she's curious, super smart, and incredibly observant, making her a joy to interact with. With a playful spirit, she adores human companionship and is particularly fond of head pets, occasionally rewarding her admirers with a soft purr. Evie's currently on the hunt for her forever home, where she can snuggle up with her new companion to her heart's content. See her bio in the comment section.
