Story
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Gender: Spayed Female Age: 6 years old Size: 13lbs History Tuesday has been at the shelter since July 2025. Rescued as a feral kitten, she was raised in a home with dogs which was a stressful environment that wasn’t the right fit for her. Her owner surrendered her to us, and she is enjoying the space she needs to decompress and show her true self. Personality Quiet and observant, Tuesday is becoming more curious since arriving and is gradually getting more comfortable around strangers. Independent by nature, she prefers doing her own thing and warms up slowly, though faster with women. Tuesday isn’t demanding, but she will thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and secure. It takes daily contact to bond with Tuesday. She may come off as sassy the first time you meet her, after she gets used to you (and is fed by you), she will lean in for pets and look forward to you spending time with her. It takes a little patience to win her over. She is particularly fond of one of our volunteers that pets her, speaks to her, and Tuesday's favorite - feeds her. Favorite Activities She loves lounging in her favorite spots and watching the world go by, particularly on the cat tower by the large window overlooking the lobby. She will sit on the top and make sure everything is running smoothly. She also enjoys her scratcher post and batting at the sticky notes on the window. Cohabitation Tuesday does not like dogs and appears not like other cats as well. Due to her boundaries, she would likely do best in a home without small children, as she does not like being messed with. Medical She is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. Because she had crystals in her urine when she came to the shelter, the vet put her on a special diet. All of this consists of is a particular brand of food. Otherwise, she does not need any additional meds and is healthy.

Story
I got these girls together from a shelter in 2022. They both are really sweet. Never been aggressive but are really shy. They would take some time to get use to someone but are really loving. They live in a home with dogs and are fine with them but are afraid and will not openly come out around them. They both seem interested in the dogs though. I just want them to have a loving home where they can go together and have a chance to come out of their shells.

Story
Meet my sweet orange kitty. He is one of the sweetest, most loving cats and absolutely loves to cuddle. He’s affectionate, gentle, and happiest when he’s curled up next to you, getting attention and love. Unfortunately, I’ve developed allergies and need to find him a new home. This is a difficult decision, so finding the right loving home for him is very important to me. I’d love for him to go to someone who will give him plenty of affection, cuddles, and a safe home where he can be part of the family. Please reach out if you’re genuinely interested and can provide him with a safe, caring home.

I feel as if she would do excellent in an environment with a bit more calm. I currently still have her mom and sister( who is the dominant sibling) as well as other pets. And watch my 4 y/o granddaughter. I believe Scarlett would thrive with a home that could giver her more attention.

Cleo is an incredibly loving and affectionate cat. She’s very personable and has never met a stranger she didn’t love. She’s 9 years old and has lived with cats and dogs. She plays along great with others. Her ideal home would have lots of snuggles involved.
