My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tux is one of the sweetest kittens ever! She is bonded with her sister Lux, and the two look and act like identical twins! You might be thinking, “I only want to adopt ONE kitten.” But if you’ve never seen a bonded pair of cats, it’s truly an amazing thing! To watch the love they have for each other is so beautiful, PLUS they won’t be lonely while you’re at work, and will always have someone to play with! They both love to sit and snuggle with their “people,” especially at at night in bed. But if you have things to do, that’s ok because they always have each other! In that way, they’re the perfect balance between being affectionate, but also independent.

Both kittens enjoy all toys, especially the interactive type, the kinds they can carry in their mouths, and of course, cat tunnels. Tux & Lux are great around kids, too! They love to play “Kitten Football,” where a child (or adult) throws a cat toy and they race to catch and retrieve it! Tux even won this year’s MVP! (“Most Valuable Paw”)! They love other cats too, and think grooming & napping are group activities. But their favorite thing to do is climb! And although they’re still working on not jumping on the counters and tables, a nice high cat tree and window hammock will really help them master their cat manners.

There is one big problem, however— they’re absolutely irresistible!! You won’t be able to say no to them when they look at you with their little “puppy dog” eyes. But if you’re ok with falling head over heels in love and turning into one of those crazy cat people, then these are the cats for you! Be prepared to have 3,000 cat pictures on your phone and for your friends and relatives to think you’ve lost your mind. The thing is, YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!

Additional adoption info

CCHS has animals available for adoption through a number of different avenues. Many of our kittens and all dogs are cared for in loving foster homes until they are adopted. Teenage, adult, senior and special-needs cats reside at Kitty Corner, an on-site, private cat shelter where cats are allowed to free-roam at all times, lounge in sunny windows and on comfy cat towers, and play to their heart's galore. Similarly, we also have animals available for adoption through our Re-Homing Assistance Program, where we help to advertise animals that caregivers are no longer able to keep.

If you are interested in meeting any of the animals listed on our website, please complete an adoption application unless otherwise noted!

Adoption fees are:
Kittens under 6mo: $130 ($200 for two)
Cats over 6mo: $90 ($150 for two)
Puppies under 6mo: $225
Dogs over 6mo: $175

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our business office and Kitty Corner are located at 3341 Vincent Road.

Kitty Corner houses adult, senior, and special-needs cats (sometimes teenage kittens). Kitty Corner is open for adoptions by appointment only with an approved application. Please submit an application for a cat you are interested in at www.cchumane.org/adoptable-cats.

All of our dogs, puppies and some kittens are located off-site in foster homes and can be met by appointment once adoption applications have been received and approved.
