As you ring in the New Year with midnight smooches, resolutions and sparkling hope, Fifi is looking to leave the past behind and start 2025 fresh with a new forever family. Fifi arrived with a badly broken femur after surviving a run-in with a car; unfortunately the leg could not be saved, but this tiny, tenacious tripod reminds us that life is all about bouncing back and sparkling brighter than ever. Fifi’s little hops are like champagne bubbles, light and full of fizz; her double curled tail waggles like a party streamer of joy; and her playful spins rival any New Year’s disco ball. This resilient 7-month-old, 12 lb. little lap dog has transformed her loss into love and her setback into the sweetest comeback. Fifi enjoys being around all people and pets, loves to cuddle on the couch, and she is so polite and gentle.

Looking for a conversationalist? Phil is a 4-year-old talkative tuxie who’s as affectionate as he is vocal.  While he also loves other cats, Phil is definitely a people person (or, rather, a people cat) and loves nothing more than sharing time with his humans, philosophizing over a cup of tea or listening to your dreams and schemes. Need help decoding relationship challenges or resolving existential dread? Phil is your guy. Want to take a deep dive into dissecting quantum entanglement or the latest novel you shared on the couch? Or wander through whimsical what-ifs, imagining what a world run by cats would look like, debating the ethics of time travel, or ranking your favorite mythical creatures? Phil is here for all of it. Phil goes home neutered, vaccinated and microchipped from the Española Humane shelter, open 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Pkwy. in Española. Courtesy/EH
