Not good with dogs, Needs special attention,

Story

Lilith is a lovely gray-and-white domestic shorthair with a gentle heart and an easygoing personality. She’s truly a very nice lady — sweet, calm, and happy to share quiet companionship with her favorite people. Lilith has a history of bladder stones, so she’s on a special SD C/D prescription diet to keep her healthy. She does great on it, and it runs about $25–30 per month. Staying consistent with her food is the key to helping her feel her best. She would prefer a home without dogs where she can relax and feel secure. If you’re looking for a kind, low-key companion and are happy to support her special diet, Lilith would love to meet you. Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!! Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, ($25-125 +TAX) special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.

Story

Hi there, I’m Sandy! I’m a 7-month-old cream tabby with the softest, sun-kissed fur — like a little scoop of vanilla with caramel swirls. Pretty cute, right? I think so too. Even though I’m still a kitten, I’ve already mastered the art of being both playful and polite. I can be a little shy when meeting new people at first — new faces are a big deal for a young lady! But give me a little time and a gentle voice, and I’ll warm up into the sweetest companion you could ask for. Once I feel comfortable, I love attention and being near my favorite humans. I’m happy to share my home with other cats and dogs too — I can co-exist just fine. I’m also litter box trained (smart and adorable!). My perfect day includes batting around toys, zooming through a playful moment or two, and then stretching out in a sunny window for a well-deserved kitten nap. If you’re looking for a beautiful cream tabby with a tender heart and lots of love to give, come meet me in person. I’m ready to grow up in my forever home — maybe it’s yours! 💕🐱

Good with cats,

Story

Hi there, I’m Laney! 🌸 I’m a sweet, gentle girl who’s searching for my forever family. I came to the shelter with my son, Leo, and now I’m ready to start my next chapter — hopefully with you! I’m about a year and a half old, which means I’ve got the perfect mix of playful energy and grown-up grace. I can be a little shy when meeting new people at first — big introductions can be a lot for a lady! But don’t worry… once I know you’re a friend, I blossom. And when I do? Get ready for affection, soft purrs, and lots of love. I absolutely adore other cats and love having feline friends to play with. If you already have a kitty at home, I’d be thrilled to make a new bestie! I also enjoy being brushed (spa days are my favorite), and I’m perfectly litter box trained — because a proper lady always minds her manners. One little thing about me: I prefer to keep all four paws on the ground. I’m not a fan of being held, but I do love being near my people and soaking up attention in my own comfortable way. If you’re looking for a beautiful, kind-hearted companion who will fill your home with gentle love, I’d be so happy to meet you in person.

Story

Hello there, I’m Boots! Yes, I’m dressed to impress — I wear a classic black-and-white tuxedo every single day. Formal, fabulous, and always photo-ready! I’m about a year and a half old, which means I’ve got that perfect mix of playful fun and mellow charm. I’m a friendly guy, though I can be a little shy when meeting new people. Big introductions aren’t really my style — I prefer the “slow and steady” approach. But once I know you’re a friend? Get ready for a loyal companion who loves being near his people. I’ve lived with other cats and dogs before and can co-exist just fine. I’m also litter box trained (a proper gentleman always is). My favorite things? A sunny window where I can supervise the birds, a few toys to show off my athletic skills, and a cozy spot near my favorite humans. I’m not one for constant commotion — I appreciate a calm home where I can blossom into my best self. If you’re looking for a handsome tuxedo boy with a gentle heart and movie-star looks, I’d love to meet you in person. After all, every great home deserves a little black-and-white charm. 🖤🤍

Story

Hi, I’m Dusty! I’m a beautiful grey tabby with soft, misty stripes and eyes full of quiet curiosity. At about a year and a half old, I’ve reached that wonderful stage in life where I still love to play, but I also appreciate a good, cozy nap in a sunny spot. I’m a friendly girl, though I can be a little shy when meeting new people. I just like to take my time and make sure you pass my “gentle human” test. Once I know you’re kind, though, I truly blossom. I’ll happily keep you company, soak up attention, and show you my sweet and loving personality. I’ve lived with other cats and dogs before and can peacefully co-exist with them. I’m also litter box trained — because a proper lady always has good manners. My idea of happiness? A warm window to watch the world go by, a few toys to chase, and a calm home where I feel safe and loved. I may start out a little reserved, but with patience and kindness, I’ll be your loyal and beautiful companion. If you’re looking for a gentle grey tabby with a tender heart and timeless beauty, come meet me in person. I can’t wait to find my forever family. 💕🐱
