Available to meet at Petsmart on Louise Ave DOB: 5/1/25 Need a little sugar added to you life? Alpaca would be perfect! She’s a calm girl who goes with the flow and just the sweetest. She is great with other cats and kids. She does okay with dogs as long as they aren’t high energy and in her space. Her sister Chicken, who is a little more outgoing, is also available for adoption and would be the perfect ying to Alpaca’s yang if you’re looking for a super sweet duo! (CP)

Story
DOB 5/21/25 Gia is the something you've been looking for without knowing it! She is a sweet mix of lovey, sassy, cuddly, opinionated, independent, needy...all rolled into a little mini panther package. If you're looking for your best girl, she's it. She loved eotming her way onto her foster dad's lap, seeks outs pets but it's all her terms. We love her quirky, silly personality. If you want a kitty you can hold and kiss by force, no thank you is what you'll get. You'll give her what she wants and no more. She's perfectly complicated in the best way. If you want a doormat cat, move along.

Story
DOB 5/17/25. Sisters Gladys and Gabriella Gilda is a flirt. The more you ignore her, the more she wants to investigate. She likes sticking her wet nose right into your nose! She's very curious but prefers to judge you from afar until she's figured you out. She's playful, enjoys her cat trees, balls on the floor, typical kitten stuff. She does like an adventurous cat pal so another cat in the home is needed. She's overall a quiet, laid back and loves attention. (HS)

Story
DOB 5/17/25 Gladys likes to play hard to get until you start talking sibling to her sisters...she's a little hesitant to be involved in chaos and has been fostered in a pretty quiet home. She loves pets, toys, running her cat shelves and trees and definitely wants another cat friend. She's the little polite red haired girl who isn't rude or loud but easily becomes your best friend. Gladys is an adorable little kitty fairy! (HS)

Story
DOB 5/1/25 NOW AT PETSMART ON LOUISE AVE Chicken is an outgoing, affectionate girl with a beautiful tabico coat. She's sweet and gentle, very laid back and adjusts quickly. She's been raised in a home with respectful children and an old Sr dog who doesn't bother her. She prefers that. Chicken gets along easily with other cats and needs to have another cat companion in the home. Her sister Alpaca is the perfect complement to her personality. Chicken is confident and likes to explore but overall is laid back and relaxed. Chicken would make a wonderful addition to about any home. (CP)
