🌕🖤 Full moon vibes tonight… the kind that make the world feel a little stranger, a little louder, and a little beautifully chaotic.

So tell us — do you believe in the full moon theory?
Does everything get a little wild when the moon is at its brightest… or is it all just superstition wrapped in moonlight? 💀✨

Meet our little snow baby ❄️— Dana scooped up this freezing kitten this afternoon after spotting it out in the cold near our building.

We’ve got a small colony of cats who run between WMCI and Advance Auto Parts, and HUGE shout-out to the Advance team for always looking out for them. They’ve built warm little “cat houses,” keep an eye on every litter, and make sure these sweet furballs are cared for.

Today, this tiny one needed a little extra love… and Dana was right there to help. 🐱❤️
