Story
Trudy is a sweet girl, she enjoys affection and will make a fantastic companion kitty. She is a young adult and is estimated to be a little under 1 1/2 years old. She has had somewhat of a dominant personality with the other adult cats in the community room she stays in. She does better with the kittens, so she would probably be happiest in a home as an only cat where she can be spoiled and receive all of the attention.

Story
Eleanor is a 1 year old spayed female Gray Tiger DSH. She is a very sweet girl. She is shy so give her some time to warm up and adjust. She will soon be purring for pets and rubbing up on your legs. Eleanor is good with cats, kittens and bunnies! She is currently at the Shelter.  Here is the adoption process:   To adopt an animal you must complete an application and be approved. There is a $100 fee for any county animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered, there is a $35 deposit which will be returned upon proof of surgery. All dogs must be licensed before leaving the Shelter. Please note that public offices that issue dog licenses are not open on Saturdays and Sundays. All cats must leave in a carrier.   Thank you for considering a homeless animal.June 29, 2026, 5:09 pm
