Hello – My name is Amor. Did you know that the Shelter management names us if they don’t know our former names? My name is Amor which means love in French. The French spelling is a little different (Amour) but this spelling makes it a little more American. I earned that name by being so affectionate and insisting on rubs, hugs and kisses. Please come meet me and I will demonstrate just how sweet I am and how much I want you to take me home with you. I’m very young, small, and will make a perfect addition to your home. I promise I will be the perfect companion for you and your family. Hurry!!

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!!!

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. I am mostly a sweet cat yet I had an aggressive moment with another Shelter cat so it may be best if I am your only cat. 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!
