Meet Coco – A Busy Little Tortie with Lots of Love to GiveCoco is a gorgeous tortie girl with both beauty and personality to spare. When she was first adopted from TJO, she was a worried little kitty, but thanks to the patience and love of her family, Coco blossomed in her home and truly came out of her shell.Unfortunately, changes in her family’s situation have brought Coco back to TJO, and now she’s looking for another special home to call her own.Her family describes Coco as a playful and engaging kitty who loves being the center of attention. She has grown into quite the busy girl and enjoys interactive playtime with her people. Some of her favorite toys include tunnels, fishing pole toys, and little mouse toys—anything that lets her pounce, chase, and show off her playful side.When she’s not busy playing, Coco is also the queen of making biscuits, happily kneading away when she’s feeling content.Coco will do best with an adopter who is excited to actively play and engage with her, as simply leaving out a pile of toys won’ t be nearly as fun for this social girl. Because she can become over-stimulated, Coco is looking for an adult-only home where her family can understand and respect her signals.For the right person, Coco will be a fun, lively companion who will fill your home with play, personality, and plenty of adorable biscuit-making.
OTHER PETS: Coco is not too fond of other kitties. She'd be happiest as your one and only.
OWNER EXPERIENCE: New cat people may find Coco challenging as she can become over stimulate..
KIDS: Coco is looking for a very quiet, adult only home.
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Coco is not yet ready to play as she is concerned as to why she is here with us.
VETERINARY CARE: Coco is looking forward to meeting her new vet and receiving annual vet care.
LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Coco's adopter will need to be patient while she learns to trust her new family
GROOMING: Coco will need minimal assistance in keeping her coat nice. March 10, 2026, 12:23 pm

Our shelter operates on a walk-in, first come, first served basis. The first step is to fill out an adoption application, answering some basic questions about yourself and your household. This will help the Animal Welfare Specialists facilitate the matchmaking process. Most adoptions take at least 45 minutes to one hour to complete. The Adoption Center is a busy place, so please be patient and allow yourself enough time for our process. THANK YOU!
What we will need to know when you adopt a new companion:
Other pets already living with you will need to be up-to-date on vaccination. This is to decrease the risk of spreading infectious disease from one animal to another.
It is important to understand that your new companion will be a member of your family. This can mean a
10-15 year commitment from you! Please bring along family members so we can make sure it will be a good match before you make a commitment. Also, if adopting a second dog, please bring your current dog with you---we can let them spend some time together and give you some suggestions on surviving the adjustment period.
Please be sure you have considered the financial obligation involved in caring for a companion animal. This includes routine veterinary and emergency care, in addition to food, supplies and training. The adoption counselors can give you an idea of basic costs involved for each type of animal.
Many animals adopted from shelters can require an immediate visit to the veterinarian. Because of the volume of un-vaccinated animals entering a shelter’s care, the risk of transmissible contagious diseases can be quite high. Kennel cough in dogs, and upper respiratory infections in cats are the two most common diseases that your newly adopted companion may experience. You must ask yourself if you have the financial means to care for your new friend, beyond the initial adoption costs.
BEFORE YOU COMMIT: Please be honest with yourself about the actual time you have to train, groom, and exercise the companion animal you have chosen. Some things to consider: Do you work long or erratic hours? Do you like outdoor activity? Who will care for your pet while you travel? Will your pet be the appropriate size when he or she is full grown? When adopting into a home with children: Are you adopting to teach your child responsibility, or are your adopting because you have a responsible child? Are your children comfortable around the animal you’ve chosen? Will YOU still remain committed to this animal when the children lose interest? Take the time now to consider these things and find the best match for your lifestyle!
We thank your for offering your home to a “pre-loved” companion. We hope he or she will be a wonderful addition to your family and your home!

More about this shelter
The Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center provides comprehensive animal control services and programs to our communities for the protection of animals, public health and safety, and the environment.
The Thomas J. O’Connor facility believes in providing a second chance to animals that are not reclaimed by an owner. Our center has a full-service adoption service, a service rarely offered through municipal animal control programs. TJO has an in-house veterinarian four days per week, responsible for shelter animal wellness and sterilization surgery. Adoptable animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and screened for other health concerns. Each animal is then placed into the adoption area to await a new home. Every animal is microchipped at the time of adoption.
