My story

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

Available 1/8/2026

This is Elphie. She is a very regal female tuxedo kitty. We think she is around a year old. She is super sweet and friendly with adult humans, but hasn't much taken to the other cats here or children. We think she would be best in a home with no other pets and older children or adults only. When she gets stressed she goes on hunger strike and stops eating completely. She has done well here by herself when she doesn't have to interact with other cats or dogs. She did come in with a leg injury but it has been healing well. She is a long haired cat for so she will require a bit more grooming than a short hair kitty, but she is easy to take care of and doesn't mind being handled with the proper attention. If you would like to meet Elphie come in and say hi!

More about this shelter

Many people look to animal control and the shelter as a last resort when they have tried other options and been unsuccessful; we're working to change that image. Animal control and the shelter should be looked at as a resource; here you have people trained in handling animals and animal behaviors, people with the experience and references to help you and your animal with obedience training, to work past behavioral issues, or to help the neighbor quiet their noisy dog. The shelter is also here to help reunite lost animals with their families or to find new homes for those animals where their families can no longer provide the environment needed.
