Maryland and Caroline are "sister moms" who came from Caroline County, MD. They had very large litters of kittens within a week of each other and each helped the other in the birthing process and the immediate care of the newborns. As the kittens settled in, the sister moms would nurse whichever kitten was mewing. They were a true super litter so their foster mom called them Kittenpalooza!
After raising…
During this holiday season we would like to feature some special cats that we truly would like to see go home for the holidays. Holiday cats are chosen for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they have been waiting in rescue a for a long time or have a special need that makes them hard to place. Perhaps they are just a rescue favorite! Whatever the reason, these kitties need a…
Poor Buddy and Bubba were living a comfortable life with their owner for 5 years until things suddenly changed for the worse. Their owner had a death in the family and lost his job, abandoning his home, all his possessions, and his beloved cats. Fortunately for these two cats a Homeward Trails volunteer heard about them and came to their rescue. When they were found, the boys were living in…
When Atticus, a supposedly feral cat, was trapped during a neighborhood TNR (trap, neuter, release), he was found to have a severe wound on his neck requiring treatment. During subsequent trips to the vet he was also found to be positive for both FIV and FeLV. This meant that even though he had a committed feeder and care-taker, re-releasing him would put any other cat he came into contact with at risk…
Poor Tommy 2 Toes was removed from a dog hoarding situation in West Virginia by the Wetzel County Animal Shelter. He is missing a rear paw because his leg was snapped in an animal trap that his former owner had set around his property. When he was found, Tommy was very underweight and covered in fleas and worms. He tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV) too so he cannot interact…

The shelter staff absolutely love this sweet girl and are trying their best to keep her alive for as…

He gets along great with all dogs and cats because he is only interested in chasing toys. Luigi is all legs, neck, and ears and he loves to play, run and climb.

She adores playing with the dogs in her foster home during the day and sleeps snuggled up with the dogs every night. She is a young playful,…
Stripes came from a shelter with an old injury to his leg. He wasn't putting any weight on it, but he could hop up and down the shelves just fine. The X-rays showed he has significant damage in his elbow joint from an infected wound. The bones can no longer support his weight and the only option is amputation. We need to raise over $1,800 for the surgery so he…
