My story

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

This sweet orange boy is almost 8 years old and has a gentle, tender heart. He’s very shy by nature and prefers to observe the world from a safe hiding spot at first, but with a little patience, his love for his humans truly shines. Once he feels comfortable, he forms deep bonds and enjoys quiet companionship.

He does have dental issues that will need to be addressed in the future, so he is currently on a soft food–only diet. Because of these medical needs, his adoption fee has been waived, as we want to ensure he finds a home that’s focused on love and care rather than cost.

He would do best in a calm environment. He does not like dogs and can be nervous when meeting new cats, so a quiet home—or one with very slow, careful introductions—would be ideal for him.

If you’re someone who understands that the best relationships take time, this shy orange sweetheart will reward your patience with loyalty, affection, and a very special kind of love.

I’m litter box trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered—ready to start my next chapter with someone kind and loving.

More about this shelter

Animals Are Our Mission

Over 1,100 animals pass through our doors every year. Did you know that the average cost to get our animals ready to be adoptable is roughly $350 per animal? That is because we require our adoptables to be spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated before adopting out.

Population control and disease management are issues in our community that we are working hard to resolve. Your donations help ensure we can continue our mission.

We have an amazing team of hard working staff caring for our animals 7 days a week. They are supported by a group of engaged board members that are focused on bettering our organization.
