Story
Baxter (A123973) is a 6-year-old DSH who weighed just under 15 pounds on intake! 07/19/26 This sweet guy is Baxter! Baxter was surrendered to the shelter due to his previous owner not being able to properly care for him anymore. Baxter was said to be a sweet but shy boy. He was said to be litterbox-trained and has used it consistently while at the shelter. He was also said to do well with other cats and dogs. However ensuring you are making appropriate introductions is important in helping set him up for success. He has found the shelter environment a tad scary, but is starting to decompress and let his loving personalities shine. He was said to love playing in boxes when they are left around and loves wet food. If you are interested in meeting Baxter, please let us know! July 21, 2026, 9:27 pm

Luna (A142198) is a 5-month-old DSH who weighed 6.5 pounds on intake! 07/20/26 Luna was returned to the shelter because her adoptive owners felt they were not the right fit for her. She was said to be a wonderful cat who was very people-friendly. She was even stated to do great with babies and children! Luna was noted to be fearful of strange dogs, which is totally understandable. Her owner did get her acclimated to using a harness, and she was said to do well in it. Luna was noted to be litterbox trained and has used it well while at the shelter. She is a young playful kitten with lots of spunk and love to give! If you are interested in meeting Luna, please let us know! 05/20/26 These adorable kittens were surrendered to the shelter because their owner had too many kitties to care for. Addison grew up with many cats in the home and two dogs! He was said to do well with them but does like to play rough. They were also raised with children, but could be a little mouthy at playtime. It is important that appropriate introductions are made! All three kittens have used the litterbox consistently and have had healthy appetites. On intake we found that they had ear mites and received their first dose of Revolution. It will be their new owner’s responsibility to get their second dose or Revolution 6/2. They have playful spirits and are eager to find their new homes! If you are interested in meeting Addison, please let us know! July 21, 2026, 9:27 pm

Tenor (A142738) is a 4-year-old DSH who weighed 7.63 pounds on intake! 07/14/26 This handsome boy is Tenor! Tenor arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for his new place to call home. Since he was a stray, we do not know his experience level with children or other pets. Ensuring you are making appropriate introductions is important in setting him up for success. We have found that he is a door bolter, so making sure that windows and doors are secure in your home so he does not escape to the great outdoors. He was found wandering, so he may enjoy having a catio in his next home to safely enjoy the fresh air! While at the shelter, he has had a healthy appetite and has consistently used his litterbox. If you are interested in meeting Tenor, please let us know! July 21, 2026, 9:27 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!July 21, 2026, 9:27 pm
