Story
Snowflake (A143658) is an 8-year-old DSH who weighed 7.94 pounds on intake! 10/01/26 This beautiful kitty is Snowflake! Snowflake was surrendered to the shelter due to litterbox issues. She was placed on a medical evaluation to be assessed by the vet. Courtesy of the shelter fund she was sent out for a full workup including a urinalysis, bloodwork, and a dental cleaning. She was described as a shy cat who would appreciate a quiet, peaceful home setting. We have no experience if she has ever lived with other pets. She may do best in a single-pet home. It is also important to provide her with multiple litter boxes in the home and to clean them regularly. If you are interested in meeting Snowflake, please let us know! October 14, 2026, 3:24 pm

Story
Mac and Cheese (A139337) is an 11-month-old DSH looking for a foster-to-adopt home situation! Foster update: We still have two brothers patiently waiting for their new home/s in foster! These boys warmed up quickly to the other pets in the home (cats and small dogs) but are still weary of new people. After months of consistent work, they are warming up to their foster parents, but might never be the most cuddliest of companions. However, they do enjoy sleeping on the bed and will allow for the occasional pet. They can be mischievous and will get into cupboards/cabinets. They would appreciate plenty of toys and possibly a cat tree in their next home to climb, scratch, and lounge on! These boys have used the litterbox consistently and have healthy appetites. They would love to find a new home that can be patient with them and allow them to continue to have their space to feel comfortable in. If you are interested in meeting either of them, please let us know! 08/18/25 Huey, Louie, and Dewey were surrendered to the shelter, hoping to find their new homes! These three boys are quite fearful and unsure of the world. They are looking for an understanding owner with experience in safely socializing cats. We see potential in them; they have not made poor choices at the shelter, but are scared. We encourage their next owners to visit the fear-free pet site for ways to help these kittens blossom. At the shelter, they have used their litterboxes well and have had healthy appetites. We do not know their experience level around other animals, please ensure you are making appropriate introductions to help set them up for success. If you are interested in meeting any of these boys, please let us know!October 14, 2026, 3:24 pm

Story
I have loved this sweet girl for 10 years, and she is a genuinely happy, loving cat who loves to be around her human. While she is skittish around new people, once she warms up and chooses you, she will be your absolute shadow and favorite companion. She is content in every other aspect of life, but she has always lived with other cats since I adopted her at a year old. Because she has never had a space of her own, I highly suspect the stress of sharing her territory and bathroom space is the root cause of her ongoing litter box issues (intermittently pooping outside the box). It is highly likely that she simply needs to be the only pet in a peaceful, predictable environment where she is the center of attention. I am also relocating out of state next year, and a long-distance move would be entirely unfair to a cat with her sensitivities. If you have a quiet, low-traffic home and are looking for a singular companion to dote on, she will absolutely thrive with you. She just needs a couch
