We don’t judge our shelter pets for being a little weird. We celebrate it. (You should meet our staff.)

Yes, this is a Taylor Swift engagement meme. Yes, we’re jumping on the trend. No, we’re not sorry. Because when someone fosters a ringworm kitten? When a spicy cat gets adopted?? When a monthly donor signs up??? That’s our Travis Kelce head-hold moment. 💅🧡

Our shelter vet looked at Ernst and said, That’s a Labubu. And honestly? We can’t unsee it. 🧙‍♂️ Enigmatic stare? Check ✨ Probably grants wishes, but only weird ones? Absolutely What do you think, is Ernst just a cat… or a Labubu in disguise? Come meet this cryptid king at RAL

The only ghosts we believe in are the ones our cats are staring at in the corner.
