Story
Birthday March 8, 2025 Look at that face!!! Shelby’s droopy eyelid and “kiss me” face will melt your heart! She is a classy, elegant tabby with unique dark stripes & swirls with a gentle disposition, making her the purr-fect companion for experienced cat parents. She just wants to be held, loved and her belly rubbed. Shelby DOES NOT LIKE to be backed into a corner or younger/loud children as she gets scared. Both Shelby & sister SCOUT prefer a quiet INDOOR ONLY home. Shelby will cross her front paws while waiting in her playpen and give you the most darling look while she patiently waits for playtime. At dinner, she is very vocal and get excited about her wet food. Shelby loves to play with springs and rattle mice, carrying them around and hiding them in packaging paper, blankets or making her siblings (Scout & Harley) chase her for the toy. Every cat in our care is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for worms, fleas, and other parasites. HOW TO ADOPT? COME TO PETCO and meet SHELBY GT and her sister SCOUT!!

Story
Birthday March 8, 2025 Scout was always the first of her litter to explore. She goes bonkers over playing with a feather wand & is extremely vocal at mealtime. Scout enjoys morning hugs, pets & kisses but prefers her feet to be on the ground when given attention. She gets along with mature children & other kitties but will need a SLOW & PROPER introduction to a new friend and home. She would love to be adopted with her sister SHELBY GT She loves to play with springs, rattle mice and crinkle balls. She carries them around, hides them in packaging paper, blankets or making her buddies chase her around for the toy. At dinner, she is very vocal and gets excited about her wet food. She'll also let you know when it's time for food or attention. Meanwhile, she will be found playing with her buddies or lounging on the kitty tower with the older moms. Every cat in our care is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for worms, fleas, and other parasites. HOW TO ADOPT? COME TO PETCO and meet SCOUT & Sister SHELBY GT!!

Story
Morty is a sweet and sometimes aloof cat. He is very affectionate but does take some time to adjust to new surroundings and people. He has a urinary issue that is manageable. He will use a litter box but has been spraying next to the litter box. We have been using pads on the wall for protection. He only started doing it since we had kids. So we are thinking it is related as everything else we have tried has not worked. If he can’t find a home we will have to figure out an alternative solution like a shelter.

Story
I have had cayenne for 8 years. I recently had a baby and no longer have time to dedicate to her. She is a feisty tortoise shell cat. She is generally friendly and enjoys pets but does not like to be snuggled. She is playful and will chase toys but also enjoys spending most of her day napping. She has no known health issues. She gets along with some cats, but not all. She has been ok with the one dog she has been around but I am unsure about other dogs.

Story
This is smudge, as you can see she is an adorable little ragdoll with a white little smudge on her nose. She was born in 2020 on November 5th at around 8pm mst. She has been more than adorable in the 6 years we have had her but unfortunately due to circumstances completely out of our control me and my brothers must part ways with this cutie pie. A couple things to know before you make the decision is that she has had issues with eating sometimes.We believe it’s because her mother has been with her since a kitten and she hasn’t always been the friendliest leading us to believe it’s just the added stress of the other cat in the house being that Smudge is very tiny compared to her and could easily be overwhelmed by this. She is a sweet heart with everyone unlike her mom and loves to eat treats but be careful as she has refused food before because of her treat addiction so be very cautious with the treats as it has caused eating disorders with her not too long ago.

Story
Due to housing and health issues, we are no longer able to keep our loving cats. Bella is around 17 years old. She has been diabetic for about 12 years. She needs insulin (glargine) shots twice a day. She is in great health for her age. She has had a partner, Guinness, who is an around 13 years old. If at all possible, I would love them to be re-homed together. He is a neutered, DSH, tri-color black, brown and white. Both love people. They are very affectionate and love being pet. They love other animals. Bella may be stand-offish of larger dogs whereas Guinness wants to be friends with all. Please reach if you are able to help give them a loving home.
