Story
We got Opal from a friend. He was a farm kitten now house cat. He is 2 years old. He loves to cuddle and sleep. We had a house fire and have to move and it breaks my heart that I cannot keep him as he is the best cat around. He rarely bites (only when he doesn’t want to be bothered) loves people once he warms up. He loves to sleep under the blankets with you.

Story
Meet Terrance!This nice boy is in need of the perfect home.He was recently returned, due to not getting along with a resident dog and cat.They had all been cohabitating together for quite some time, until something happened and Terrance no longer liked one of the cats and the dog.He did, however, get along with the young female kitty in the home.Terrance is SO SWEET and friendly with all the people he meets.He LOVES to be pet and shown love.He'll likely do best either as the only cat or with a younger female cat.Slow and proper introductions are key to setting off on the right foot, when introducing a new pet into the home.We hope someone gives Terrance a chance.He has the kindest eyes and is a good boy.He is neutered and vaccinated.Apply online to adopt: watonwan.weebly.com____Please Note: We ask that an application be filled out before coming to the shelter.

She'll let you know when she's done being pet :)Kaya does like people and loves getting visitors.She rubs against your legs and looks up at you with her sweet face.She's the kitty that will want to be near you and hang out. And then you can pet her for a little bit and she likes it for a little bit :)She's housed with other kitties at our shelter. She gets a bit overstimulated by all the cat action going on in her bubble.She should do ok with other pets that give her some personal space and respect. Because she deserves it.Submit an adoption application online at watonwan.weebly.com____Please Note: We ask that an application be filled out before coming to the shelter.

Story
This cute little black cat came to us on 11-20-25.He's shy, but will warm up once he's home, we believe.He'll need patience and love.Blackee's estimated birthdate is 2-4-25.He's quiet and calm.He likes to be pet and talked to once he's comfortable with you.He's gotten along well with the different shelter cats he meets. He'll likely do well with other cats and will probably thrive rather than being the only cat.Please apply online to adopt at watonwan.weebly.com____Please Note: We ask that an application be filled out before coming to the shelter.
