Oh, I love micromanaging!

My only complaint is that dogs need a buff - they must be thrice as cute!

I wish the text color or font changed when there was a pet to adopt - I probably missed a few early on before I really understood how that mechanism worked.

Pressing feed all and seeing all the animal sprites change to happy is quite satisfying :)

this game was very fun to play. the different events added to the fun of the game.

I was so compelled to feed the pets even though they were not yet on the red zone. They had such a sad face when they were on red zone but I knew I couldn't afford to feed them double rations...

Overally very enjoyable, I started to lose ground when the shelter got vandalized two times in a row for 200+ pounds. Thankfull the pets found good homes and some kind stranger gave two cat foods for the cause :)

Nice game. I like this shelter managing mechanic. Is it infinite? I played and played but nothing happened.

I think you could have used one of the animal graphics perfectly for a icon for the .exe. The tutorial was a bit much text would have been nicer if you just have to do the described action to get to the next tutorial window(off course there can still be a skip button but not as your main choice) and overall More Graphic feedback would be nice.

I liked how the animal graphics changed when they we're hungy. So sad looking :D
The music was also quite moody :)

Cute game! Simple but still pretty fun. I also didn't like letting them go into the red even though that was probably the optimal strategy. Ended up being pretty easy balance-wise, I never had any bad random events happen to me. Would be cool to see some more advanced mechanics in this. Nice work!

Pretty simple but effective game! Glad you took the time to do a tutorial.

I played this game longer than I probably should have. Great job!
