#FelineFriday
Grizzly is an 8 year old Domestic Shorthair. He is fostered by Frederick Friends of Our County Animal Shelter in Frederick, MD.
With a face as cute and cuddly as a baby bear, Grizzly totally lives up to his name! This sweet, snuggly boy is a pro at lap-hopping and absolutely thrives on affection. When he’s not busy being your personal lovebug, you’ll find him unleashing his inner athlete—wand toys don’t stand a chance. 😺✨
Grizzly previously lived with another cat and a small dog, and he was the perfect gentleman to both. While every pet pairing is unique, his history suggests he could be a great fit for a home with another cat or a polite, cat-friendly pup.
When Grizzly was surrendered, he was dealing with painful bladder stones—but thanks to a special prescription urinary diet, they dissolved and he’s feeling so much better. He’ll need to stay on this diet for life to keep things running smoothly, but he doesn’t mind… it’s his secret to staying healthy and handsome.
Grizzly comes neutered, fully vaccinated, and FeLV/FIV negative—basically, he’s ready to strut into his forever home and steal some hearts. 💛🐾

💗BOBBI💗
We also couldn't leave Bobbi out of our Valentine's Series!! As some of you already know, Bobbi has been living an amazing life full of new adventures with our Emily for almost a year now. He still comes by the sanctuary pretty often so we see him all the time. He's one of the most nonchalant doggies we have ever met; however, he does get VERY excited after going potty and will kick his feet, bark, and sprint away at full speed! We love this silly boy!
Feel free to use this picture as a valentine and send it to a significant other to make their day 🥰.

💗BFFS NADINE & PIZZA💗
We just had to feature these two cuties!!! Both Nadine and Pizza have been together since they were puppies. They've never lived a life without each other, but both have opened their hearts and have settled in with the pack quite nicely! Pizza gets along with everyone and will jump in people's laps; Nadine has warmed up to people and is letting them pet her and can be found cuddling with the other pups. We also think she may have taken a liking to Hershey 😙! We love them so so much 💕.
