Story
This is Billy Jr. At 16 years old, he is currently our oldest cat here at the shelter. He's looking for his new home where he can simply relax, get plenty of love, and live out the rest of his golden years in peace. Billy Jr's previous owners moved to a place where they couldn't bring their lifelong feline friend with them, so that's how he ended up here at the shelter. Despite being 16, Billy Jr is in relatively good health. He is eating Hills Science Diet Kidney Care food to help stabilize his condition. He does have cataracts too, so he isn't able to see as well as he could have before. He doesn't play much these days, but he does like to stroll around the room and explore as means of exercise. He seems curious about new things and people. Billy Jr is a very sweet and kind senior kitty. He likes chin scratches and sitting on people's laps for snuggles. If you have it in your heart to give a senior cat a home, please come by the Humane Society to meet our darling Billy Jr!

Story
This is Guinness, and he's extremely goofy. Guinness can keep you entertained for hours with his antics. He has so much energy! He spends most of his days playing. There's rarely ever a time where he isn't running around the room or chasing a toy. He was a friendly stray street cat before coming to the shelter, so he hasn't been taught that human hands are NOT acceptable toys, so be wary of your fingers! Being redirected with a wand toy should help teach him about these manners. It takes him a bit to fully accept an unfamiliar feline friend, but once he does, they'll become his wrestling playmate. Guinness seems to get along better with younger cats, as they're easier to wrestle and more likely to play with him. Having an equally energetic feline friend in the house would be great for Guinness, that way he has someone to match his vibes. Guinness carries himself with confidence, his tail and head always held up high. He isn't very phased by new things, in fact he's more curious about them than anything. Come by the Humane Society to meet Guinness!

Story
Meet the big and beautiful Holt! After originally being rescued from a hoarding situation and then getting adopted from us back in 2020, Holt's owner unfortunately passed away, and she ended up back at the shelter four years later in 2024. After spending 6 long months here, Holt had a second chance at a forever home and was readopted in December of 2024. Unfortunately, just over a year after she made it to her new home, her new owner ended up in an assisted living facility and devastatingly had to leave Holt behind. So that's how Holt ended up at the shelter again. We are sure that she'll be able to open up her heart to another family one more time so she can live out the rest of her golden years. She definitely deserves it! Holt is a couch potato. She spends most of her days sleeping, curled up in a nice and cushiony cat bed. She would enjoy having one or two to sleep on in her new home...But we think that YOUR bed would soon become her favorite! Her previous owner's family expressed that all she loved to do everyday was lay next to and sleep with her favorite person. She prefers head and ear scratches rather than back scratches. Even though Holt is a bit lazy... We have seen her playing with a ball track toy that spins, as well as a fun dangling wand toy. She still has some youthful energy left in her yet! Another thing that Holt loves: FOOD! She gets excited and starts meowing for her tasty food and lickable treat snacks. Holt likes her solidarity away from other cats as well as dogs. We think the best type of home for her would be one where she is the only pet. Come by the Humane Society to meet sweet old lady Holt!
