Hi there! I’m Gatsby, and I can’t wait to meet you! I came to the shelter on May 31st, 2024, as a stray, but now I’m ready to find my forever home. I’m a playful guy who absolutely loves pets and affection! I can be a bit shy at first, so let’s take it slow when we meet. Once I warm up, I promise I’m a total lover boy! I do have some long-term medical needs, and the staff would be happy to chat with you about them if you`d like to call before coming to meet me! I’m up to date on my vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. Let’s create some beautiful memories together!

Story
Hi, I’m Tahluha. I was brought to the shelter on January 6th, 2025 because my previous owners could no longer care for me. I’m a very nervous girl around unfamiliar people and need a family that’s patient and understanding. A quiet home where I can slowly warm up and decompress would be ideal. I just need someone to respect my boundaries and give me time to feel safe. I’m up to date on my vaccines, microchipped, and spayed. If you’re looking for a loving companion who needs a little extra time, I might be the one for you! We strongly recommend calling the shelter between 11am and 4pm to discuss more details about my background with our behavior team!
