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!June 27, 2026, 3:27 pm

Story
Patches (A142603) is a 5-year-old DMH who weighed 11.25 pounds on intake! Behavior Update: Miss Patches has not been adjusting to shelter life very well. Shelters are inherently stressful for animals who experience a disrupt in their routine and suddenly find themselves around strange people and in close proximity with other strange animals. Patches often hisses from inside her hide and will not come out during the day when there are people around. Fortunately, her weakness is food. With a slow and considerate approach, care staff were able to coax her out with a lickable treat, and she has actually acquiesced to a few head scritches. When her tolerance is met, she gives a hiss and retreats to her hide. Patches will do best in a home that is willing to look past the walls she has put up and give her the time and space she needs to feel safe in coming out of her shell.06/24/26 This beautiful kitty is Patches! Patches was surrendered to the shelter and looking for her new place to call home. She was previously allowed to venture outside, but a friendly reminder that the outdoors can be very dangerous for our feline friends. We encourage her next owner to consider getting her a catio! When indoors, Patches was said to enjoy laying by the window and enjoying the sunshine! Patches was stated to be litterbox trained. She was also said to do well with people of all ages including babies and children. She has also historically done well with other animals in the home, both dogs and cats. It is important that appropriate introductions are always being made with new people and other pets to help set her up for success! She should also have a place in the home where she feels is her own and can feel safe and secure as she settles in. Patches arrived at the shelter very overweight and we encourage her next owner to work with their vet on the best way to help her reach her ideal weight. If you are interested in meeting Patches, please let us know! June 27, 2026, 3:27 pm

Story
Squiggles (A142557) is a 2-year-and-6-month-old DSH who weighed 11.81 pounds on intake! 06/22/26 This handsome boy is Squiggles! Squiggles was surrendered to the shelter and is looking for his new place to call home. He was described as a very vocal boy with a strong desire to go outside (however, when outdoors he was known to scrap with other cats in the neighborhood). A reminder that the outdoors can be very dangerous to our feline friends. We encourage his next owner to look into getting him a catio so he can safely enjoy the outside! Squiggles was said to be litterbox trained but was known to spray. We are hopeful that neutering him will resolve this issue. It was noted that Squiggles does great with people of all ages including babies and children. He was noted to be scared of dogs and as previously mentioned would fight with other outdoor cats. He would most likely benefit from being the only pet in the home. If you are interested in meeting Squiggles, please let us know! June 27, 2026, 3:27 pm
