Animal Fix
Meet Booger — a 19-pound long-haired legend with a heart full of love and just enough sass to keep things interesting. At 8 years old, this calm and cuddly gentleman has mastered the art of the snuggle—and will absolutely insist on touching you all night like the clingy (and charming) shadow he is.
Booger may be shy at first, but once he settles in, he’s all in: headbutts, purrs, and laser pointer standoffs included. Whether he’s curled up next to you in bed or dramatically taking down his beloved catnip banana, Booger is happiest doing whatever you’re doing—as long as he gets to be near you.
He’s chill, playful, and gloriously fluffy. Daily brushing? Required. Personal space? Optional. Booger is the ultimate emotional support cat with big main character energy. 💅
Meet Brent! 🐾
This 1-year-old, 56-pound Boxer/Lab mix is the whole package: handsome, hilarious, and heart-meltingly sweet. Brent’s got the perfect combo of goofball energy and snuggly charm—and he’s ready to share it all with you.
He’s a champion fetcher, a zoomie enthusiast, and a toy connoisseur. He’ll return that ball as many times as your arm allows (and then some). When playtime winds down, Brent becomes a total cuddlebug, happiest snoozing at your side like the loyal lovebug he is.
Brent is house-trained, responds to commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “leave it,” and is trustworthy outside of the crate. He’s a fast learner, eager to please, and always down for whatever you’re doing—walks, Netflix, or neighborhood dog hangs.
Friendly with other pups and full of tail-wagging joy, Brent is looking for someone who’s ready to laugh a lot, cuddle often, and throw the occasional tennis ball.

This gorgeous 1-year-old orange domestic long hair is a rare gem—not just because orange female cats are uncommon, but because Molly’s personality is just as lovely as her fluffy coat!
Barely more than a kitten herself, Molly recently finished raising three adorable babies and is now ready for her next chapter: a forever home where she can be the one getting pampered. At just 6.6 lbs, she’s a petite little lady with a big heart.
Molly is friendly and affectionate, and she’s already lived with kids in her foster home, so she’s used to a bit of hustle and bustle. Whether it’s lounging in a sunny window, soaking up head scratches, or curiously following you around, Molly is ready to be your new best friend.

Sweet, sassy, and always ready to chat – meet Cookie! 🍪💬
At just a year old, this gorgeous tortie is bursting with personality. Cookie is friendly, outgoing, and endlessly curious—she loves exploring every nook and cranny, following her little nose wherever it leads. When she’s not on an adventure or playing with her favorite string toys, she’s probably chirping, meowing, or squeaking to tell you all about her day. She’s a total chatterbox in the most adorable way!
Cookie has great litter box manners, uses her scratching post like a pro, and is always up for making new human friends. She’s a social butterfly and wants to be wherever the action is—especially if that includes snuggles.
Cookie is FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia Virus), which means her immune system needs a little extra care. But don’t let that stop you—FeLV+ cats can live happy, playful lives and bring so much joy and love into a home. She just needs to be your one-and-only feline, or live with fellow FeLV+ cats.
If you’re looking for a confident, cuddly, and talkative companion, Cookie is the one! 🐾
Apply today—and don’t forget to check out her adventures on Instagram: @mich.elletu7

Meet Mango!
Sweet, shy, and secretly silly—Mango is a little gem! At first, she loves finding a cozy hideaway to settle in and watch the world with quiet curiosity. But once she feels safe, her playful side shines through!

With a little patience and a lot of love, Mango will blossom into a wonderful, loyal companion.

Our friends at Charity Barrel have hand selected a barrel of 100% Agave placed in a Charity Barrel Edition #5 empty barrel from Nashville Barrel Company for 21 months. For each donation of $130 to CDCK, Charity Barrel will gift donors the limited edition bottle, while supplies last.
