Meet our Cat of the Week, Moms Mabley!

Moms Mabley may only be 5-months-old, but spiritually? She is 82, has seen EVERYTHING, and is deeply disappointed by the quality of men currently available.

Moms has the energy of a woman who has been sitting at the kitchen table since 7:00 a.m. in a housedress, drinking coffee, collecting neighborhood information, and quietly deciding which marriages are not going to make it.

You cannot surprise her. You cannot scandalize her. And if you try to tell her something shocking? Moms will look at you like, please, I knew about that before your mother did.

Moms is sweet, affectionate, and absolutely capable of becoming the matriarch of your entire household despite weighing less than a rotisserie chicken.

She will know which young gentleman across the room has been working out. Because yes. Moms likes the younger men. We introduced her to one handsome, mature male cat.

Very respectful. Very established. Moms looked him up and down. Pawsed.

Then asked, “does he have a son?”

She has absolutely no interest in some tired old tomcat talking about his back pain and preferred brand of joint supplement.

Moms wants ENERGY. She wants VITALITY.

She wants someone who can still jump onto the counter without making a noise on the way down.

She has earned that. Moms is also a natural storyteller.
Something happens in the kitten room and everyone else moves on.

Moms remembers. Catalogues it. Adds context.

By dinner, there is a full oral history.

By bedtime, a reputation has been permanently altered.

She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to move into a home where her wisdom will be respected and her business will remain everybody elses business.

The Heart of RI has adoption hours every Tuesday 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Wednesday 3 p.m. -7 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at 44 Worthington Road, Cranston, Rhode Island.

Meet our Dog of the Week, Sriracha!

Sriracha has friends. She just doesn’t like them touching her stuff.

She is a gorgeous 5-year-old Labrador Retriever mixed breed looking for her people. She loves to play, has plenty of personality, and believes friendship is wonderful as long as everyone understands the very reasonable concept of personal property.

Give this girl a tennis ball and room to stretch her legs, and she is living magnificently. She also does great in play groups and genuinely enjoys other dogs.

Outside the house? BESTIES. Walk together? Absolutely. Meet at the park? She’ll be there. Move into her house and start touching her toys? BIG NOPE!

Okay, Brenda. Let’s not ruin a perfectly good friendship. Because Sriracha has possessions and she has policies regarding those possessions. That tennis ball is hers. The squeaky toy is hers. Please review the employee handbook.

For that reason, Sriracha would be happiest as the only dog at home, where her kingdom can remain under single management. She can still have canine friends, social outings and adventures. She just prefers everyone return to their respective residences afterward. Sriracha is up to date on vaccinations and spayed. 

The Heart of RI has adoption hours every Tuesday 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Wednesday 3 p.m. -7 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at 44 Worthington Road, Cranston, Rhode Island.

You can also apply online by clicking the link in their Instagram bio: EGAPL Heart of RI | Animal Rescue Nonprofit – All policies, procedures, fees and other adoptable animals are always listed at HeartofRI.org.

NOTE: What’s going on in Rhode Island is not responsible for Sriracha and we do not have further information on her.

Please contact EGAPL Heart of RI | Animal Rescue Nonprofit directly for all questions.

Every Saturday we post a Dog of the Week to help them find a forever home, so please keep checking back to find yourself a new best friend.

Realtor.com’s 2026 Metro Report Cards looked at housing affordability and homebuilding in the 100 largest U.S. metro areas, and the Providence-Warwick metro area did not score well.

The area received an F and ranked 99th out of 100. The three lowest-scoring metros were Los Angeles (100th), Providence-Warwick and New York City (98th).

At the other end, Des Moines-West Des Moines, IA (1st), Raleigh-Cary, NC (2nd) and Columbia, SC (3rd) had the highest overall scores in the report.

Rhode Island also received an F in Realtor.com’s 2026 State Report Cards, ranking 49th among the 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile, Providence mayoral candidate Rep. David Morales has made housing affordability a major campaign issue and supports rent stabilization that would cap certain annual rent increases at 4%.

The Providence City Council passed the ordinance earlier this year, but Mayor Brett Smiley vetoed it.

The metro report based its affordability score on median listing prices, median household income, and the share of homes affordable to different income levels.

For homebuilding, 80% of the score came from the permit-to-population ratio, while 20% came from the new-construction premium, or the price difference between new and existing homes. 💵🏡🏙️
