Meet Kylie... the little calico princess with the softest meow!Don't let her shy first impression fool you. She'll happily accept hugs, pets, and a cozy spot beside you. She has the sweetest, tiniest meow that will melt your heart.

Now she's looking for a forever family.At 2½ months young, Kylie is healthy, spayed, vaccinated, bathed, dewormed, flea treated, and full of gentle kitten charm.Our county shelter is a kill shelter, so I am trying to find Kylie the safe, loving forever home she deserves. Willing to travel to meet adopter partway, if needed. Please, no declawing — it is painful and inhumane.If you’d like more photos of Kylie, please reach out to me. Serious, loving homes only. Thank you - Nicola

Grayson is a handsome blue-gray cat with a quiet presence and a gentle soul. New to ECHS, he is still adjusting to the sudden changes in his life and is understandably feeling a bit overwhelmed.Right now, Grayson is keeping mostly to himself. The shelter is a very different environment from the home he knew, and he is taking his time trying to make sense of it all. While he may seem reserved at first, we know there is more to Grayson than what we're seeing today.In his previous home, Grayson was described as affectionate, laid-back, and independent. He enjoyed spending time with his people but was never demanding of attention. He was content simply being part of the family and living life at his own pace.We believe that with patience, understanding, and a little time to settle in, Grayson will begin to show that side of himself again.Grayson is also FIV positive. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives and can often safely live with non-FIV cats as long as everyone gets along and there is no serious fighting. We encourage you to do some research to make sure you are on board with FIV and all that comes with it. If you're willing to give a cat the time he needs to feel safe and loved again, Grayson may be the perfect companion. Sometimes the most meaningful bonds are built slowly, and we think Grayson is worth getting to know.Grayson is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and FIV positive.His adoption fee is $75.
