Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Meet Marty, a handsome grey and white gentleman with a gentle heart and a quiet soul.At around 1 year old, Marty is still a young cat with lots of love to give. He came to the shelter when his previous owners were no longer able to care for him, and adjusting to shelter life has been a big change for this sensitive boy. Marty is quite reserved right now and tends to keep to himself while he figures out his surroundings.While he may be shy at first, there`s a sweet and affectionate cat waiting just beneath the surface. Marty enjoys attention, gentle affection, and playtime, but he needs a patient and understanding person who will allow him the time and space to come out of his shell at his own pace. As his trust grows, so will his confidence, and watching his personality blossom will be incredibly rewarding.Marty`s previous home experience suggests that he wasn`t getting along with his new animal siblings, so he may prefer a quieter environment where he can feel safe and secure. What he truly needs is someone willing to see beyond his timid exterior and appreciate all the charming quirks that make him who he is.This beautiful grey and white fellow is hoping to find a family that will love him for exactly who he is—a sweet, sensitive cat looking for a fresh start and a place to finally call home. If you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, Marty may be the perfect companion for you.

THIS ANIMAL IS NOT FIXED AND IS BEING ADOPTED ON A SPAY/NEUTER AGREEMENTCome visit me at Petsmart!Adoption Fee: $295.00The excitement of adopting a kitten! Kittens are so irresistible, who can say No. Here are some tips to help ensure a smooth transition into your home.-Kitten proof your home (block of nooks and crannies, move electronic cords or other items you don’t want played with).-Be prepared and plan for your kitten’s arrival. Pick up supplies to help your kitten settle in their new home (kitten food, kitty litter, appropriate scratching surfaces, toys ect).-Provide lots of affection, play time and supervision to keep your kitten safe, out of trouble, and socialized.-Don’t overwhelm your kitten on day one. Provide a quiet area or allow them to explore a small room you have set up first. Once your kitten is settled, expect to see scratching of surfaces, wrestling and climbing. Kittens have boundless energy and curiosity. They will require more of your time and attention than an adult cat, but the reward is watching your kitten grow into a sleek adult cat, along with years of love and affection.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Meet Winnifred!This beautiful black-and-white sweetheart is looking for a patient and loving home to call her own. Winnifred came to the shelter after being surrendered due to having too many animals in her previous home. While we don`t know much about her past, we estimate that she is around 6 years old and are enjoying getting to know her gentle personality.Winnifred is a timid gal who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. She would thrive in a quiet home with a family that understands she may need a little extra time to settle in and build trust. While she may not be the type of cat to curl up in your lap right away, she does appreciate a good cheek scratch and the company of caring people who respect her pace.With patience, understanding, and unconditional love, Winnifred has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. She is hoping her perfect family will find her soon and give her the chance to enjoy the comfort and security of a forever home.Could Winnifred be the missing piece of your family?

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Meet Dahlia, a lovely senior lady with a gentle soul and a love for the quiet life. This sweet girl is searching for a family who will show her the unconditional love and patience she truly deserves. Dahlia’s perfect day consists of curling up in a cozy bed, soaking up the peace and comfort of home, and enjoying plenty of long naps.While she does appreciate attention and companionship, Dahlia is also a cat who values her personal space and prefers affection on her own terms. She’s the ideal companion for someone who understands and respects a more independent feline personality.One thing Dahlia will never say no to is a good meal — this girl is a true foodie at heart and absolutely loves to chow down! To keep her feeling her best, she will need to remain on a special urinary diet prescribed by a veterinarian for the rest of her life.Dahlia may be a senior, but she still has so much love to give. All she needs now is a calm, caring home where she can relax, be herself, and finally feel safe and cherished.

Come visit me at PAW!Adoption fee: $250This is Ella! She gets bonus points for being cute with her permanent blep :P. Ella has lived her life as an indoor only kitty who was the only pet in the household. She`s quite affectionate and enjoys head scratches. Ella doesn`t just make biscuits in her blanket, she makes full on sandwiches. Homegirl loves to knead. If you`ve read this far then here`s a fun fact about the Twilight series: the actors took `cat classes` to walk like vampires. What does that even mean? I`m not sure but I`ve thought about it nonstop since I read it. Anyway come meet this friendly cat (who may or may not walk like a twilight vampire ooo~)
