Story

Name: MookieAge: 1 yearBreed: Domestic ShorthairColor: Grey and OrangeAbout Me:Hi there, I'm Mookie, a 1-year-old grey and orange female cat with a charming personality. While I may have some special needs, I'm a loving and affectionate girl who is eager to find a forever home where I can be the center of attention. I'm a very vocal girl who isn't afraid to express myself. If you say my name, you can expect a lively response from me! I adore pets and attention and would make a wonderful lap cat for someone looking for a constant companion. While I may have some specific dietary needs, I don't let that dampen my spirits-I'm full of love for everyone I meet.I'm recommended to be the only furry friend in the home, as I can get stressed easily. Additionally, no children are recommended for me, as their presence may worsen my condition. I thrive in a calm and quiet environment where I can receive all the love and attention I deserve.I'm seeking a loving and understanding home where I can receive the care and attention I need to thrive. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will fill your home with love and affection, I'm your girl!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Buddy, a 5-year-old brown and white tabby, is highly selective with his people and cannot coexist with dogs, other cats, or children. He thrives best in a cat-savvy home with one or two people, as he has been through multiple homes and changes in a short time. Buddy has a very low threshold for overstimulation and may react if his limits are exceeded. He may benefit from indoor-outdoor living to keep his mind occupied and fulfill his cat instincts. Additionally, he dislikes loud noises and being chased off, and he will defend himself if he feels threatened. Finding the right home for Buddy is crucial for him to flourish in his environment.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cinder, a 2.5-year-old male semi-spirit cat, embodies a shy yet observant nature, preferring the quiet comfort of solitude or the company of a single trusted individual. Disliking being picked up and often retreating when overwhelmed, Cinder thrives in serene environments free from the chaos of a busy household or the exuberance of rambunctious dogs. He's more at ease on the floor, finding solace in being close to his chosen person or quietly observing the world from a safe vantage point. Cinder's reserved demeanor may require patience, but for the right person seeking a gentle companion, he promises a deep and meaningful bond founded on mutual understanding and respect.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Arnaldo, a 1.5-month-old male domestic shorthair, arrived via transport to our shelter. He's had a journey to get here, and as a result, he may require some extra time to adjust to his new surroundings. Arnaldo has displayed a spirited personality, earning him the endearing nickname "spicy cat." Arnaldo is seeking a calm and patient adopter who can provide him with the time and space he needs to decompress and adjust to his new home. His ideal environment would be one that is quiet and free from stressors, allowing him to gradually acclimate at his own pace. Despite his initial wariness, Arnaldo has shown a protective side towards other cats in the shelter, indicating his capacity for forming strong bonds with his feline companions. While he could potentially get along with dogs, proper introductions and supervision would be essential to ensure a harmonious relationship. Arnaldo's spicy nature may not be well-suited for young children, so older, more understanding children who can respect his boundaries and adjust to his temperament would be recommended. Arnaldo is a one-of-a-kind cat with a unique personality and a heart full of love to share. With the right adopter who can provide him with patience, understanding, and a tranquil environment, Arnaldo has the potential to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. If you are interested in adopting Arnaldo, please come down and visit with him during our open hours Thursday through Sunday 11a.m. to 3p.m.!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cherry, a black and white tuxedo cat, is a shy female who takes her time warming up to people. She does allow pets if approached slowly and gently. Cherry has a fondness for treats and wet food, which can be used to help build trust and rapport with her. She is highly alert and aware of her surroundings, which is common for shy cats. Cherry may benefit from the companionship of other cats and could potentially form strong bonds with them. However, due to her timid nature, older children would be better suited for her company. While dogs may be overwhelming for Cherry at the moment, with time and proper introductions, she may eventually adjust to their presence.

Keith

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Say hi to Keith, our resident shy guy! Keith is a goofy cat that is looking for his furever home! Keith is searching for a patient adopter who understands that it is his world and we are just living in it! Keith may do well with another feline companion or a canine companion with slow introductions. In his foster home, Keith hid for the first two weeks before he felt that comfort and trust! Keith will come out for pets and scratches when he wants them! Keith will hide when visitors come over and stay hidden for the entirety of their visit. He would prefer a quiet home with older children as he does not like loud noises or fast movements. Keith has some preferences when getting attention and he isn't afraid to give you a correction if you stray from his "safe" to be touched areas. The corrections start with whipping his head around to give you "the look" and escalate to whapping you with his paw (no claws), to then including claws. Because that window is pretty small and his comfort level depends on routine, it is best for Keith to go to a home without young children who cannot understand his ques. His safe zones include the ridge of his back from the back of his head to his hip bones (which is his favorite). As he becomes comfortable with you, you will receive headbutt, and full body pressing into your side. He never seemed comfortable climbing into a lap, but he did like curling up next to a person and taking a nap. He was just starting to feel comfortable enough to show his goofy side and showing his belly (DO NOT TOUCH!!!) and being interested in playing but that took several weeks.If you are interested in meeting with Keith, please come down and visit with him during our open hours Thursday through Sunday 11a.m. to 3p.m.!
