Moral Support
Meow Meow
Owner: Zilan Yang
Meow Meow is selective with canned food as she knows that many pollutants can accumulate in the food chain and end up in her body, which is why she will refuse to touch or even smell any fish/shrimp canned food. Her research interest primarily focuses on wastewater treatment, so she can get rid of all of the toxicants from natural water and solve the CATastrophic emergency on delicious canned foods.
Dalton
Owner: Ao Xie
Dalton is a sweet talker and shy adventurer. He climbed up to Ao’s shoulders and head the moment he first arrived at home and couldn’t stop purring. Plus, he got great recommendations from the shelter. He also has awesome taste as an interior designer. He likes to add a little fringe for some Bohemian vibe which fits great. He has developed an interest in computer accessories and has been testing keyboards recently.
