Meet Laszlo, our lovable gentle giant! Adopted from Greenville Animal Care, Laszlo’s early life was spent in a dog colony, but he hasn’t let that hold him back. Weighing in at 116 pounds, his heart is even bigger than his appetite! Laszlo loves nothing more than to snuggle up beside you, resting his head on your lap and gazing up at you with adoration. He’s a true reminder that love can overcome any past.
Meet Sasha, our regal queen! Adopted from Foothills Humane Society, she was rescued from a challenging situation. While she may have had a difficult past, Sasha doesn’t let it hold her back from enjoying her new life. Sasha has fully embraced her journey, adoring affection and expressing it by leaning in for cuddles. Sasha is a shining example of how forgiveness can lead to healing.
Meet Ash and Lucius, our perfectly mismatched yet inseparable lap cats. Ash, once a stray, now soaks up every moment of warmth and affection, while Lucius, our regal Maine Coon, balances his majestic presence with a love for snuggles. Despite their vastly different beginnings, these two have formed an unbreakable bond, often found curled up together—or nestled between their dog siblings, Laszlo and Sasha. Their story is a heartwarming reminder that love and trust can bring even the most unlikely friends together.
