Stray Cat Shelter
Melt the frozen night and give every stray cat a home.
As the station master of a stray-cat shelter on a frozen night, build your rescue mission on a 7 by 9 merge board. Spend energy at supply stands, move or merge equal supplies across eight chains — food, candy, stars, cat beds, toys, feasts, dreams and party kits — and every merge thaws nearby ice that may reveal energy, gems, chests or frozen supplies. Fulfil adopter families' wish lists to earn Love, take in four stray cats with their own backstories and grow your bond, redeem supplies at the Rescue Supply Station, makeover the shelter, and open six rescue outposts. The rescue handbook, wall of honor and today's care shape a long progression toward becoming the Gold Station Master.
