Meet our Pet of the Week, Claire!
Claire arrived at Al-Van in rough shape: malnourished, dehydrated, flea-covered, and with one underdeveloped eye that ultimately had to be removed. This one-eyed orange tabby, originally named Catastrophe, came in fragile but determined. She healed, she adapted, and she became Claire the survivor. She spent more than a year waiting for her chance at a forever home. At the shelter, she has often been overlooked because of her shy nature. What she really needed was time, patience, and a place where she could relax enough to show who she truly is.
Claire recently moved into a foster home and everything changed. In a home setting, Claire has blossomed. She now enjoys receiving pets, plays like any other young cat, and has even decided her cat foster sister makes excellent company. The timid girl who once kept her distance from people and other cats has transformed into a confident little pirate princess who finally feels safe.
If you’ve ever considered fostering, Claire shows exactly why it matters. And if you’re ready to give this resilient, one-eyed sweetheart the forever home she’s been waiting so long for, she’s ready to meet you. Submit an adoption survey at al-van.org/adopt and learn more about fostering at al-van.org/foster.

Cookie Caper
Save the date for our annual Cookie Caper, November 22nd! Just $5 buys you a plate full of delicious homemade cookies – proceeds benefit Al-Van Humane Society.

This Week’s Wishlist
This week our biggest needs include wet dog food, pate cat food and cat treats (both squeezable and dry).
Wet dog food helps pups who need to gain weight or take medications more easily, while pate-style wet cat food is essential for kittens, seniors, and cats recovering from illness who depend on soft, nutrient-rich meals (and it’s a huge help for giving meds, too). Cat treats, both squeezable and crunchy, provide vital enrichment that keeps our cats engaged, comforted, and happy while they wait for their forever families.
You can view our full wishlist at al-van.org/wishlist. Items can be dropped off to our adoption center or rescued treasures during open hours or shipped directly from our Amazon or Chewy Wishlists which can be found on our website.
Thank you so much for your support, the doggos, kittens and humans here at Al-Van really appreciate you!
