Story
Come visit me at Pet Valu on Main Street! - Adoption fee $250 - Meet Asher — a stunning grey tabby whose personality is just as beautiful as his looks. Asher truly shines when he’s around people and loves soaking up all the affection he can get. Friendly, loving, and full of charm, he enjoys being part of the action and makes a point to be near his favorite humans. Asher has lived with other animals before, so with proper introductions, he may do well with both cats and dogs in his new home. He brings a joyful zest for playtime and has a wonderfully positive outlook on life. When the fun winds down, Asher is more than happy to be included in cuddle time and nap right alongside you. With his playful spirit and affectionate nature, Asher would make a fantastic companion for adopters of any age. He’s truly a wonderful guy ready to bring love, fun, and companionship into his forever home.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Salsa Sam is a big, handsome tabby boy with cheeks for days and a personality that fills the room. He’s the kind of cat who absolutely loves attention and affection… until he suddenly doesn’t—and he’s not shy about letting you know when he’s reached his limit. When Salsa Sam arrived at the shelter, he was an unfixed male, and all those hormones made him prone to becoming overstimulated. Because of that, he’ll do best with a family who understands feline body language and respects his boundaries. He enjoys human company and being near his people, but he appreciates affection on his own terms. Since Salsa Sam came to the shelter as a stray, we don’t yet know how he feels about sharing his space with other animals. New environments can be overwhelming for him, so he’ll need a dedicated space of his own when he first arrives home to help him adjust and feel secure. At heart, Salsa Sam is a wonderful, larger-than-life kind of guy—full of character, charm, and a little bit of sass. With patience, understanding, and a sense of humor, he’ll make an unforgettable companion for the right home

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Meet Nimbus — a big, beefy orange tabby with an unforgettable presence and cheeks for days. This handsome guy came to the shelter as a stray and has a strong, confident personality to match his sturdy build. When Nimbus wants affection, he means it—his signature move is a very serious head boop, and he’ll happily nudge your hand with such enthusiasm it feels like a full-on headbutt. Nimbus would do best in a home that understands he likes to move at his own pace and appreciates having his own space to settle in. He can be intense at times, and when he’s had enough human interaction, he’s not shy about letting you know. Because he can become overstimulated, a home with older children (or adults only) would be the best fit. With patience, respect, and an understanding of his boundaries, Nimbus is a truly beautiful boy with a lot of personality to offer. For the right home, he’ll be a loyal, head-booping companion who keeps life interesting—and very orange.
