DODGE
|
There's no way to 'dodge' this handsome orange tabby. Dodge is a purring machine that's laid back and easy-going. This fella enjoys human attention, being held, and petted. He doesn't seem to mind other cats either. In fact, he an Otto (another orange tabby) often hang out together. Both are about 3-4 years old. If you ask me, his handle-bar mustache reminds of Paul Sr of the West Coast Choppers or ex-MLB pitcher Rollie Fingers :0)

ED
|
This one-year old magpie is gentlemanly and well-mannered. He prefers to observes others play, especially his condo mate, Clarice. He's entertained by her.
|
CLARICE
|
This all gray, petite and sleek, three-month old kitten is quite comical. She's an attention seeker and will melt your heart before you can say, "Helllooo, Clarice". She and her buddy Ed have different personalities, but share a condo at the shelter and play well together.
|
SWEET PEA
|
This four-year-old should have been named Sweet Pie instead of Sweet Pea because of her magpie coat (gray and white). She's a bit shy and prefers being on her own versus with other cats. Once out and about in the cat room, she's quite playful, especially with cat toys on sticks! NOTE: Sweet Pea's spaying was paid for the Animal Welfare League.

JERRY
|
|
"My humans didn't want to move to Florida, but they turned sixty, and that's the law (inspired by Jerry Seinfeld).... So, here I am, in search of a new forever home."
Jerry was found in the area by a volunteer. He's estimated to be about one-and-a-half years old and been given an A+ checkup by the local veterinarian. He's quite a handsome fella -- just look at those chartreuse eyes! He's all gray, sleek, and has a long tail. He's friendly and enjoys attention (being petted and held). NOTE: Jerry is scheduled to be neutered soon. It will be paid for by the Animal Welfare League.

COOKIE
|
If you’re into fitness…how about fitness Cookie into your heart and home?! This is one cute cookie who is dressed to impress with her tuxedo coat and will, no doubt, walk into your heart with her charming demeanor and desire for human contact. She was found in Callao with six kittens in tow; is estimated to be about one-and-a-half years old; and is likely blind in her left eye from an old injury. Despite her crusades in the wild, she’s incredibly easy-going and approachable. NOTE: Cookie was spayed September 9th that was paid for by Animal Welfare League.

SAX
|
This one-year-old girl was found locally and brought to the shelter in hopes she’ll find a furever home soon. If there was ever a time to judge a cat by its coat, this is the one…. Science says there may, indeed, be a connection between a cat’s coat color and their personality. So, good luck resisting this Harlequin -- her splashy coat is predominantly white with small, random spots of black ( AND an all-black tail. Harlequins aren’t a breed but are included in the tuxedo family known for their general personality (intelligence, charm and playfulness). Sax is all those things and more. NOTE: Sax was spayed September 23rd that will be paid for by Animal Welfare League.

GRACE
|
An appropriate name for this five-year-old brown tabby.... Orphaned by her original owner, Grace is an elegant, good-mannered cat that's full of charm and poise. She prefers individual human attention over that of other cats. She appears shy in her condo at the shelter, but once a gentle human hand is offered, she quickly warms up and engages. You can't help but notice her gaze that, no doubt, confirms her joy. Note: Grace is spayed.
