If Monday had a face, it would be Mocha’s. You know that feeling when your alarm goes off, your hair looks like you wrestled a raccoon in your sleep, and someone dares to speak to you before caffeine? Yeah… that feeling is Mocha. With her sideways ears & bedhead, “don’t test me” glare, and general air of “I’ve had it and it’s only 8am,” Mocha is a cat-shaped Monday morning. This 7-year-old brown tabby is 100% attitude, and yet somehow? Completely adorable. But here’s the plot twist: beneath that “I will hiss at your existence” energy is a total softie—once she decides you’re worthy. She’s part of a bonded pair with her polar opposite, Latte—a sweet, gentle marshmallow who brings the calm to Mocha’s spice. Think of them as your emotional support espresso: one wakes you up, the other soothes your soul. Want to meet them? Just… maybe bring treats. And don’t make eye contact too early. Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española. Visit www.espanolahumane.org. Courtesy/EH

Dove is a gentle wisp of a pup with a heart full of hope and q a nose for sniffy strolls. Shy and soft as a cloud, this 2yo 46lb pocket Pittie mix is still learning the world is kind—but offer her patience and a quiet home, and she’ll reward you with tender trust and sweet love. With time and a little magic, Dove will surely open her heart… and soar. Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española.
