Story
My husband and I adopted Laru along with his brother Chauncey as college students in 2012. They have come with us for many moves and always adjusted well. Laru had issues with urinary crystals and in 2012 received PU surgery. He has special urinary food and has not had any issues since. He and his brother Chauncey have stopped using the litter box. We have tried various box styles, various litter types, different locations, and even puppy pads. The puppy pads were successful for a couple months but again he continues to pee on carpeted areas in our home. Due to having young children and feeling as we have exhausted all options, we can no longer have him in our home. Other than litter box issues, Laru is a sweet snuggler and loud purr-er. He is very chill and loves lounging around. We are hoping for someone to give him a loving home for the remainder of his senior years.

Story
Hi! This is Myla Star. She was born on January 1, 2021. Myla is a three-year-old tabby, has all of her shots, and is neutered. So other than her extra weight (because she loves food!), she is completely healthy. Myla is a talkative cat and will let you know what she's thinking, when she wants food, or when she is bored and wants to play. She even tends to meow after you sneeze! Her favorite toy of all is a sticky note crumbled into a ball. An important thing to note about Myla is that she is pretty shy and a scardey cat. If she hears a plastic bag she will run no matter what it takes! It also took some time for Myla to open up to us, and I feel this might just be in her personality. If you are looking for a brave and outgoing cat, Myla might not be for you. She needs a calm, loving, and patient home. A transition from one home to another won't be easy for her, but with time I promise you that she is worth it. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!

Story
*MUST GO TOGETHER* Est. Age 5-5 1/2 months. My boss found 3 kittens in his engine a few months ago and I took the 2 bonded sisters while we try to find them homes. They are very friendly kittens that LOVE to play and cuddle. Very good eaters they are currently on Purina pro plan kitten for dry food and tiki cat for wet food. They love fluffy toys (mice and fluffy ball toys) and to climb. They are really bonded to each other. They drink from a fountain and bowls. They have never bit or scratched me or any human since they have been in my care. They got along with my boss’s cats and his small dog. They got along with my girlfriend’s pitbull no problem. They are not scared cats by any means they just need a few days to warm up to the environment.

Story
We took Tiger into our home 3 years ago . He was abandoned and living outside . He is very docile and affectionate and likes to spend a good deal of time outside weather permitting. He does not toilet in the house. We no longer live in a rural area and Tiger needs a better environment to spend his time outside.

Story
We adopted Gator two years ago at the pet shelter in Aldan. He is a very cautious cat. He loves cuddles and is only vocal at meal times. He does not like nail trims or bath times. We have to outsource both those services to a groomer. We have to move shortly and our fur baby can not join us. We are looking for a loving home with lots of room to roam for our lovebug, Gator.
