Story
I feel that this cat has potential for adoption because she has basically "adopted me". She waits for my truck each day until I get there to feed her and has hops in the truck with me to get warm during this so far unforgiving winter. I put a small pet house behind the bushes where she stays most of the time, but she likes to roam the parking lot and I'm afraid that one day some crazy tenant driving like a maniac might hit her. Once fed, she becomes very affectionate. I cannot take her inside my apartment because the rental company here charges an outrageous initial fee for pets and $35 a month every month thereafter. I'm much older, retired and on a fixed income and I simply cannot afford her food, litter, medical care or the monthly fees. I'm at my wits end as far as what to do with this situation and I hate that she has to endure this freezing weather. I seriously need help with this problem.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cinnamon got her name from her beautiful warm coloring, but don't let the cozy name fool you - this girl's got spice. She's all about action: chasing toys, pouncing on lasers, and showing off her Olympic-level parkour skills around the room. While she's not big on cuddles, Cinnamon is full of personality and would thrive in a home that loves her independence and playful energy. She's looking for a forever home that appreciates a cat who knows what she wants - fun, freedom, and feather toys. Cinnamon has really started coming out of her shell recently especially to any regular staff or volunteers that play with her often...even letting them pet her at times. She greet them at the doors and has even been caught pawing at the doors to make noise to get their attention if they are not playing with her. She wants to play, play, play and hopes that she can find someone who wants to be the laser master or fly her toy birds above her for her to catch. She gets along well with other cats, especially if they like to play as much as she does.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 8, 2026, 8:02 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.&#226&#156&#168 Meet Tabitha &#226&#156&#168 Tabitha is the quieter, shyer sister — the “observe first, love deeply later” type. But once she warms up? She’s pure gold. Her fur has this gorgeous tabby pattern brushed with warm orange hues, topped off with her signature orange spot right on her head. Consider it her tiny crown. She and her sister Tina aren’t officially a bonded pair, but they absolutely adore each other. If you’re looking to add double the love (and double the adorable chaos), they’d be thrilled to go home together — but they’re also perfectly fine finding their own individual forever families. If you’ve got a soft spot for gentle hearts and mellow kittens, Tabitha is your girl. Come meet her and let her charm you in her quiet, sweet way.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 8, 2026, 8:02 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gwen! Every shelter has that one cat—the mysterious, watchful guardian who keeps an eye on everything, making sure her fellow felines are safe, secure, and properly supervised. That’s Gwen for you. She’s the protector of fellow felines around her, the watchdog (or should we say, watch-cat?) of the shelter, and the undisputed queen of sass and solitude. But here’s the thing—Gwen’s been here a while. She doesn’t throw herself at every new person who walks in, and yeah, she might give you a skeptical side-eye before deciding if you’re worth her time. But for the right person? Someone who understands a cat with a quiet soul and a spicy attitude? Gwen will be the most loyal, independent, and low-key companion you could ever ask for. She’s not looking for the party life—just a cozy, peaceful home where she can relax, rule, and maybe (just maybe) let her guard down. If you think you’ve got what it takes to befriend this queen, come meet Gwen. She might not say it out loud…but she’s been waiting for you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2025, 1:08 pm
