Hi! My name is Lily
I am very young and just figuring out what’s what as it is all very strange to me. Everyone who picks me ups hears my very loud purr as I’m so happy to be getting attention and hoping that means I might have a home with you. My Shelter friends call me a ‘cutie’ and they seem to really like my great big ears. I’m pretty sure I will grow into them as I get a little older. In the meantime, I’m learning to play with all the toys that appear in my cage. Occasionally, I get to go into the ‘play room’ and hang out with some of my feline companions. I enjoy that a lot but mostly I need and want the human touch. That’s what is most important to me. Would you please consider taking me home and giving me a chance to bring you lots of love and joy? I promise you will not regret it for a minute…. |

Hi!! My name is Clark
You need to come to visit me very soon as everyone is talking about my bobbed tail and how someone is going to take me home very soon. I didn’t think it was such a big deal until I discovered that most of my friends here and those I met out in the wild looked very different. I’m very young, eager to please, and am looking for love and attention and lots of cuddle time with you. I do need my forever home – please take me home and help raise me to be the perfect cat that suits your family’s lifestyle.

Hi Folks!! My name is Chrissy
I much prefer this warm and friendly Shelter compared to my earlier living conditions. I know I am safe here and these very kind Shelter humans tell me I will have a home of my very own soon where I will be loved, kept warm, safe, and well-fed. I feel very lucky and cannot wait to meet my new owners. I know it’s hard to tell from a picture and brief description, but if you make a trip to see me, I will show you just how much love I can share and how much I’m anxious to go home with you. Please give me a chance and I will be the perfect, cuddly, loving cat. I can’t wait to meet you!!!

Cade
Hi!! My name is Cade
I recently had my one-year-old birthday and I am now ready to be totally domesticated and belong to a loving family. I’ve had enough of living in the wild and much prefer the inside life and being with those who love me and provide for me. I am adjusting well to living inside and enjoying all the rubs and attention my human friends provide. I need my forever home and I sure hope you will come and meet me, see how great of a match we make, and take me home with you for a wonderful, loving life together.

Hi! My Name is Trevor
Hello – my name is Trevor and I was a stray picked up and taken to the Animal shelter. These nice people tell me I was almost “a goner” as I had gotten so skinny and was listless. Things have changed quite a bit for the better thanks to nutritious food and the love of my Foster Mom. Now it’s time for me to find a forever home. I fall into the “Senior age” category and I’m hoping that perhaps a Senior human will find me a perfect fit. We can take long naps together and just enjoy being in each other’s company. Please make an appointment to come to visit me. Hey - also check out my Valentine's photo - I am slow dancing with Sandy one of our wonderful volunteers. Please adopt me. I love to slow dance!

Kitt
Hello – my name is Kitt and I was here in the beginning as a kitten. I did get adopted but it turned out the folks who adopted me were allergic to cats and consequently kept me in a locked room for most of my life. I want you to pet and love on me, but I’m still having a bit of a trust issue and it’s going to take a little time. What I need from you is to trust me and know that if you shower me with love and affection, I will be the most loving and appreciative cat one could ever desire. I really need a good home where I can get lots of attention, learn how to play with toys again, and bring love and joy into your home. Will you give me a chance? I promise I will not disappoint you. Please come and visit me.

Polly
Hey everyone!
My name is Polly and I came to the shelter with my brother Milo and sister Boo. We lived in a nice home with other cats but a family illness resulted in us having to find other living arrangements. We do well together and would love to stay together, but that’s asking a lot.
Please visit us and help each of us find the perfect forever home where we can be nurtured and loved. In return, we will smother you with love and affection - well, not literally of course, but we are very loving cats. We are young and can promise you a lifetime of affection and joy. A quick visit to the Shelter will help convince you – our hours are Monday and Thursday 11-3 and on Saturdays from 11-2. If this is not convenient, just call and make an appointment.
Hope to see you soon!!!

Hey Friends!
My name is Isabella and the Shelter folks are working hard with me to lessen my shyness. I enjoy being scratched on the head and behind my ears and every day I grow a little more used to human companionship. However, I will only be happy when I find myself a forever home. I lived on the streets for a while, which is not a good place for small cats. I will be a great companion and promise to love you and keep you warm and entertained. Please come meet me – I’m pretty sure you will want to take me home.
