Story
How this pet arrived:Eren Yeager was brought in by his previous owner on October 6th, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Eren Yeager, a quiet guy seeking a calm home to call his own. Because he can be a bit shy when arriving in unfamiliar surroundings, starting him off in a dedicated confinement room is the key to success to help him acclimate at a comfortable pace. He will likely take an extended period of time to feel safe in his new home and with his new family, so he is seeking patient guardians who respect his need to take things slowly. To help ensure this fellow truly has the best chance to thrive, he will do best in a calm, small household with minimal foot traffic and few changes, where he can settle in and relax safely away from the hustle and bustle of young children. A slow and steady approach is the magic formula if he experiences any temporary behavioral set backs while adjusting, and you can easily win his trust by sitting quietly together, sharing soft slow blinks, engaging in gentle play, and offering delicious treats. His new family should also be ready to encourage his active mind by providing him with plenty of mental enrichment, climbing spots, and cozy catios! When you come to welcome this wonderful guy into your life, please be sure to bring along a large, hard-sided carrier so he can travel home safely and comfortably! Shy/Fearful Cat:Eren Yeager requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: Black Weight: 14.64 Age: 2yrs 5mths 3wks

How this pet arrived: Gigi and Hewo were brought in by their previous owner on August 28, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Gigi and Hewo! This bonded pair is looking for a quiet home where they can relax and take their time getting comfortable. They're both shy, so a calm space and a patient adopter will help them settle in. Gigi enjoys attention but prefers to keep her belly to herself. Hewo gets along well with other cats and may take a little time to warm up. As they become more comfortable, they'll show you their sweet personalities and may even curl up nearby for a nap. A small, quiet room to start, along with cozy cat trees and sunny windows, would help them adjust. If Gigi and Hewo sound like the right pair for you, come meet them today-and don't forget two hard-sided carriers for their ride home!Shy/Fearful Cat:  Gigi and Hewo require a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

How this pet arrived:Pearl was brought in by a community member on June 11, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Pearl! Pearl is a sweet, shy girl looking for a calm and cozy home where she can settle in at her own pace. New situations can be a little overwhelming for Pearl, so she'll do best in a peaceful household without the hustle and bustle of young children under 8 or high-energy dogs. Give her some patience, gentle attention and a cozy place to relax and Pearl will have the chance to build trust and show her sweet personality. She enjoys cozy hiding spots and yummy wet food, too! Pearl has dental disease and will need a follow-up visit with a veterinarian to help keep her smile bright. If you think Pearl could be a good fit for your home, come meet her today! Don't forget to bring a sturdy, hard-sided carrier for her ride home. At SDHS:Pearl has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption!

How this pet arrived: Shylo was brought in by their previous owner on September 15, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Shylo! Shylo is a sweet, easygoing girl who appreciates the simple pleasures in life: a warm sunbeam, a peaceful room and the occasional high-speed chase after a favorite string toy. She has a wonderfully independent personality, making her the perfect match if you love having a quiet companion lounging nearby while you work, read, or unwind. She flourishes in a calm, predictable environment and would love to be the only pet soaking up your attention. A relaxed household with adults or older kids (12+) fits her gentle vibe best. Like most of us, moving to a brand-new place can feel a little overwhelming at first. With a patient hand, a quiet spot to start out and a steady daily routine, she will easily get her bearings and settle into a great litter box groove. Ready to meet Shylo? Don't forget a sturdy secure carrier for her ride home. At SDHS:Shylo has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home!

How this pet arrived:Bruce Wayne was brought in by his previous owner on June 20, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Bruce Wayne, a mellow fellow who reveals his sweet alter ego once he feels comfortable with you! Underneath that quiet exterior is an affectionate companion who enjoys being pet and will roll over and meow at you to ask for some extra love and attention. At heart, this caped crusader is just a sensitive boy who thrives on consistency, making him the perfect match for a peaceful, low-activity home without dogs, children (12+) or frequent changes. Because new faces and transitions can be a bit intimidating for him at first, he needs a proper hideout, just like every superhero! A quiet room that acts as his "Batcave," complete with high perches and cozy spots to retreat to while he takes things slow. A patient adopter can win his trust through gentle playtime, feeding him his favorite treats, and quiet companionship during mealtimes. He can coexist peacefully with other cats while keeping a polite distance. When you are ready to bring him home, be sure to bring a hard-sided, top-loading carrier so Bruce Wayne can travel in true billionaire style! At SDHS:Bruce Wayne has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for adoption!
