My story

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

Meet Riley — 224 Days and Ready for Her Forever Home

Riley has been patiently waiting 224 days for someone to finally notice her, and we think it’s about time the world met this tiny ball of personality.

Riley is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. She can be incredibly snuggly, curling up beside you and purring like a tiny motor, but she’s also a playful, energetic kitten who loves adventure. This girl believes every surface is meant to be climbed and every toy deserves to be chased.

She absolutely loves stimulation and playtime, and she would thrive in a home that understands kitten energy and can keep her busy with toys, climbing spaces, and lots of attention.

Riley also has a funny little quirk — when she gets excited, she’ll sometimes purr while giving playful nibbles and grabbing with her paws, which just means she’s full of kitten enthusiasm and still learning her manners.

She has recently started meeting other animals after spending time isolated due to ringworm treatment, so she may need slow, patient introductions to new furry friends. With time and understanding, she will continue learning that the world (and other animals) aren’t so scary.

After 224 days of waiting, Riley is more than ready to trade shelter life for a home full of toys, cozy naps, and people who love her big personality as much as we do.

If you’re looking for a kitten who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and still curl up next to you when she’s tired from all her adventures, Riley might just be your girl.

More about this shelter

We are the Jefferson County Humane Society and , except for our humane officers (who are paid very nominally), we are all volunteers! Our members were instrumental in getting a local levy passed to build a new and larger shelter and the doors opened in 2011. We are currently participating in Iams Home for the Holidays Program and the Purina Pets for People grant program. We are actively pursuing other grants and recently have been asked by the county to partner with them in the operation of the new shelter. Since we are a humane society, our main focus is on getting animals spayed and neutered so there are no more homeless pets. To that end, we bring in a mobile animal surgical clinic who performs spays and neuters at a reduced rate. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in our efforts and, of course, for financial contributions (we are a non-profit, 501 (c)3) and pet adopters! Other items such as food, treats, pet carriers, cages, leashes, collars, food bowls, etc. are also ALWAYS welcomed and appreciated. Please contact us if you have an item to be donated or would like to volunteer with us to try to save some of these homeless, but very loveable, dogs!
