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 :)

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!

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