Story
Big Rhonda has made incredible progress since arriving at the shelter! At first, she found the environment overwhelming and spent most of her time curled up in her bed, quietly observing the world around her. Since moving into one of our free-roam rooms, she has started to gain confidence and slowly come out of her shell. While she can still be a bit timid, Big Rhonda is learning to trust and has begun stepping out of her cozy hideaway to seek out gentle pets and attention. It’s been so rewarding to see her sweet, loving personality start to shine through when she feels safe and comfortable. Big Rhonda is looking for a patient and understanding home where she can continue to grow at her own pace. With a little time, love, and a calm environment, this shy girl is sure to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Story
Velvet Tony may start off a little shy — you’ll often find him tucked cozily under his blankets. But beneath that timid exterior is one of the sweetest boys. He takes some time to realize you’re a friend, but will eventually melt right into your hands, purring away with total contentment as you pet him. Velvet has already come out of his shell so much since first arriving at the shelter. With a little patience and love, his trust blooms, and his playful, happy side starts to shine through. He goes absolutely crazy for a good wand toy session. He will even start to hiss and growl at the toy, showing it who's boss. He is also very affectionate and loves to be loved. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted companion who will reward your kindness with endless affection, Velvet Tony is ready to jazz up your life.

Story
Mr. Munch lives up to his name in every way. When it comes to feeding time, he is the most eager cat around. There is truly nothing he loves more than a good meal.

He is very confident and extremely friendly and ready to be best buds with anyone who offers. He values his freedom and strongly dislikes being cooped up in a kennel, preferring space to roam and stretch out comfortably. If you’re looking for a food-motivated companion with a big personality and a soft, affectionate side after dinner, Mr. Munch is your guy. Has been good with other cats at the shelter. Currently shares a free-roam room with 3 other cats who he instantly wanted to be friends with. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Story
Quiverbug is a delicate little soul who is still learning that the world isn't so scary. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she tends to be very shy and nervous, often keeping to herself while she takes everything in. But beneath that timid exterior is sweet girl who has never shown a mean bone in her body. As she slowly begins to feel more comfortable, she’s starting to accept gentle pets and is learning, little by little, to trust the people around her. Each small step she takes is a big victory. Quiverbug will need a patient, understanding home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She may take a while to come out of her shell, but for the right person, watching her grow into her confidence will be something truly special.
