Story
Meet Robin! He can be a little shy at first but once you start loving on him, his personality will shine. He does great with older kids, dogs and cats. He loves to play and run around. If you are interested in adopting Talulah or another one of our animals, please submit the application below. Please also take the time to review our adoption requirements including our vaccine and preventative requirements for existing pets in the home. If your pet is not up to date on veterinary care, we kindly ask that you have that completed prior to applying since we cannot hold any animals. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScfwj4E8INvJgwuroLMdnOlLRZo_n3PQBHyowerHONa-i2j4g/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawQFrC1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETIwSmIwOFdiNzVIaVY0Wktkc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHlXqQnBegYCeOjchI4H_2TbJS5K3JQHJdbN_EAhIop7PXGNxA0OkAe-SBG8X_aem_uHJ1FXmhqgvs6LNa8U9hPA

Story
This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
This kitten has just arrived! They have come to us on transport from a shelter partner, were found as stray, or surrendered to our care. When kittens arrive to us we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, how they are with handling, or how much socialization with humans/animals they have received. Kittens require a significant amount of patience and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a kitten is a critical time to improve socialization and help your kitten become confident. Exposing your kitten to all kinds of touch, sounds, people, and animals can ensure a well-socialized adult cat. Remember, kittens aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future.
