ALICE
Medium size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB June 2009 -- Alice was brought to our shelter when time was running out for finding a forever home elsewhere. With her winning personality and good looks, Alice is welcome to stay with us until that perfect family can be found! Alice is a bit shy at first, but she really enjoys attention and can never get enough petting. She has striking markings, and is quite unique looking. All this girl is missing is a forever home to call her own.
AMBER
Medium size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2008 -- Rarely do we get in such a beautiful cat, and what makes Amber even more unique is that she is an orange female, not something we see every day. Amber is a bit shy, but really enjoys attention and seems to be fine with other cats. She would do best in a home where there wasn’t too much activity and she had time to adjust to all that was happening around her. A real stunner, we’re sure Amber will make a wonderful companion.
BELLA
Medium size spayed female Domestic Long Hair. Estimated DOB June 2009 -- Bella truly lives up to her name. She has a beautiful coat and striking markings. She can be a bit reserved at first, but is a sweet, affectionate cat at heart. Bella is fine with other cats, but may be too frightened of dogs to live with them. We feel she would do best in a quieter home where she can work on improving her confidence. If you are willing to take the time with this beauty, you’ll certainly be rewarded.
BIG ALVIN
Large size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2002 -- Big Alvin, or Big Al, as he has come to be called, was recently brought to a neighboring humane society. After checking him for a microchip we were contacted and were happy to take this boy back when his owner could no longer keep him. Big Al is what you would expect from a big tom cat. He loves attention, is super mellow and gets along with both dogs and cats. This boy is happiest when he is getting lots of attention, and we feel he would make a great family cat, he would probably enjoy lots of attention from children and adults. Big Al is sure to give his new family lots of love, and in return he asks that you love him back forever this time.
CREAMSICLE
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2009 -- Creamsicle is a handsome young cat who enjoys being pet. He is fine with other cats, but may be too timid for a home with dogs. He enjoys one on one time with people, and is quickly adapting to the sights and sounds of shelter life. Creamsicle is incredibly sweet, he just needs some time to adjust in order to let his true personality show. He would do best in a quieter home with another cat to buddy up with.
CUCUMBER
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB July 2009 -- Sweet Cucumber came to the shelter as a stray. While not much is known about his past, one thing is for sure -- he is a social and very sweet cat. Cucumber seems fine with the other cats in his room and un-phased by dogs. He would make a great family companion where he would get lots of attention and love. While mellow for much of the day, he does still have a playful nature. If you are looking for a cat who wants to be a real member of the family, look no further than Cucumber!
CURLY - I'VE BEEN ADOPTED !!!
Medium size neutered male Domestic Long Hair. Estimated March 2009 -- Curly is everything anyone could want in a cat. He is gorgeous, friendly, and easygoing. Curly has lived with other cats peacefully, and here at the shelter he is always accommodating to the new kitties who enter his room. He seems fine with dogs, and isn’t scared off by dogs who are interested in checking him out. He loves attention and would make a great family cat where he would get to be a part of the family. It’s amazing that someone was able to part with this kitty, but we’re sure his next home will love him forever.
DEXTER
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB May 2008 -- A sweet, affectionate cat, Dexter has personality and good looks. With his unique coloring, and long agile body, he is quite a lovely sight. Dexter is a mellow boy who seems fine with other cats and not phased by much. While initially timid, he warms up quickly and seems to truly enjoy attention. He is ready to find his new forever kingdom!
ESTY
Medium size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2008 DECLAWED -- Sweet Esty likes to receive attention and loves a good pet behind the ears. Having come to us declawed she’ll need an indoor only home. She seems fine with other cats and can hold her own with friendly dogs. She does not love to be picked up, and typical of tortishell cats, she likes attention best when she initiates it. She’d do best in a child free home, or a home where she’ll get to be independent and not expected to be a lap cat. Esty is a nice cat, and will make an adopter very happy.
HUMPHREY
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB June 2007 -- While Humphrey may have entered our shelter as a stray, we’re quite sure that he had been previously well cared for. He is outgoing and affectionate, and never shies away from attention. He is easygoing with other cats, and not too phased by dogs. He would make a great companion for a family whose children want to interact with the cat a LOT. He always wants to be where the action is, and will remind you when it is feeding time. Humphrey is a truly wonderful kitty. We know his new family will appreciate how social and loving he is.
JOSEY
Medium size spayed female Domestic Long Hair/Torti. Estimated DOB May 2004
Josey was found as a stray and brought to the shelter for safe keeping. She is a sweet, vocal kitty who enjoys getting her ears and back scratched. While she is affectionate, she does not seem too demanding of attention and enjoys her kitty space. Josey came to the shelter declawed and will require an inside-only / supervised-outside home. Josey is looking for the rest of her pussycats or just a kind and loving guardian to make music with for the rest of her days.
LUCY & REBEL
Medium size spayed female and neutered male Domestic Long Hair kittens. Estimated DOB March 2010 -- Lucy and Rebel are littermates who came to the shelter when they were found living under a home. The last to be adopted, they are hoping to find a home together. Lucy is a bit on the timid side and having Rebel around makes her feel so much better! Both kittens are sweet and adorable. They would do best in a home without small children, and a home where they can blossom at their own pace. If you are looking for two wonderful kittens, these might be the perfect ones for you!
MOOKIE
Large size spayed female Domestic short hair - DE-CLAWED. Estimated DOB June 2006 -- Mookie is a cat for cat lovers. She has all the attributes people should appreciate in kitties. She is friendly and social, but happy to do her own thing. She is good with children and has lived harmoniously with other cats. She is fine with calm dogs, but a bit put off by rambunctious ones. Being that she is declawed Mookie will need an indoor only lifestyle, which seems to suit her just fine. This large girl likes to find a comfy place to lay and survey the land for most of the day. If you are looking for an easy going, adorably large cat, Mookie is your girl.
OMAR
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB July 2009 -- Omar is long and lean -- really long. Perhaps Slinky would have been a more fitting name for him! We’re sure he’ll grow into all that length to ultimnately become a handsome big boy! Omar is as sweet as they come. He is good with other cats, and loves human attention. He’d make a great family cat - Omar believes the more attention the better! He’d do fine in a home with cat appropriate dogs, and probably wouldn’t mind sharing his home, and attention, with another feline. Omar is a special cat ready to go home.
PENNY
Medium size spayed female Domestic Long Hair. Estimated DOB August 2003 -- Penny was surrendered to the shelter because her owners felt she didn’t get along with their newly acquired dog. Penny is a very sweet cat that had done well with her consistent routine for the past six years. Here at the shelter Penny seemed very overwhelmed and stressed. Penny is now in a foster home in the hopes that she’ll become comfortable and be adopted straight to a home without having to come back to the shelter. Penny is a bit on the plump side, so a home that is dedicated to helping her lose weight would be best for her health. We already know what a sweet, affectionate and loving cat Penny is... now we’re hoping she’ll find a home soon and show her new adopters how great she is too.
PERSIA
Medium size spayed female Persian. Estimated DOB January 2009 -- Persia came to the shelter when her owner moved and could not bring her along. She is described as a bit timid, so naturally, her first few days at the shelter were a bit overwhelming for her. While indeed timid at first, Persia is slowly coming out of her shell. She enjoys attention and seems fine with the other cats in her room. In fact, we think due to her shy nature, she would do best with another friendly cat in the household. Persia will need regular grooming in order to keep her coat well maintained and adopters should be familiar with the Persian breed. This sweet girl has always been a loving companion and we know the right adopter will come along and see her inner and outer beauty.
ROSIE
Medium size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB July 2008 -- Rosie came to the shelter along with her 6 kittens. She was an excellent mom, providing them with all the care that they needed. While in her foster home, Rosie’s shy personality began to blossom. She is initially very timid, but in secure surroundings becomes quite affectionate. As their time in foster was coming to an end, both mom and kittens would all try to get into their foster mom’s lap, taking in all the love and affection they could get. Rosie would do best in a quieter setting, perhaps without small children. We feel she would be fine with other cats in the home, and would enjoy regular one-on-one attention. This sweet mama deserves nothing less than a home willing to give her the love and security she craves.
SESAME
Medium size spayed female Domestic Shorthair. Estimated DOB August 2008 -- Sesame arrived at the shelter as a stray, a bit underweight, and with an abscess which required some medical care. She has since put on some weight and has healed up nicely. It appears that Sesame has never had an abundance of food, so here at the shelter, mealtime is definitely her favorite time of day! Sesame is affectionate, but like many felines, she enjoys her independence as well. She can be a bit ornery with other cats, and would probably do best as the only feline in the home. If you are looking for a cat with lots of sass and spunk, then Sesame is your girl!
SIENNA
Small size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2009 -- Sweet Sienna is a beautiful cat with an equally wonderful personality. She is quite petite, and perhaps with age will fill out a bit more, but she’ll never be a large cat. Sienna is good with other cats, however dogs can overwhelm her. She takes some time to come out of her shell, but she does enjoy attention and is always eager to have someone pet or brush her. Sienna would do best in a quieter home, where she could acclimate to her new life in her own time, and wouldn’t be expected to always be social. If you are looking for a cute, petite cat, with a wonderful personality, than Sienna is waiting for you!
