Since we rescued Aster and sister Orchid from inhumane conditions at a shelter, they've grown so much--and in turn helped other cats in our care gain confidence.
But it's time they found a home of their own--together. They're a bonded pair! Meet them at alleycat.org/Adopt

Abandoning a cat IS cruelty. Alley Cat Allies is covering costs of medical treatment for Bell, a sweet two-year-old tortie who was dumped in a cardboard box outside by her former owner.
We're making sure Bell gets the care she needs to recover from her ordeal and start again.
