Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lisel was found wandering outside by someone with cat allergies. Sweet and vocal she likes to be the center of attention and is still full of kitten energy. So far she does not like other cats, which is common for cats that have lived outside, and would prefer an only cat home. Come see her Wednesday through Sunday noon to 3, Saturday noon to 4.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
BartholoMew was found outside as a kitten by his previous owner with an undeveloped eye. They got him fixed and got his infected, partial eye removed, but they felt he was too expensive to keep when he got his cone off and opened up his stitches, and they surrendered him to us. Hes fully healed now and running amok in the shelter, tackling kittens. Playing is his focus in life and we feel he needs a bigger cat to play with at home (maybe even two!). While he probably doesnt know what a dog is, with a proper introduction, we can see him doing really well with one. Come see him Wednesday through Sunday noon to 3, Saturday noon to 4.

Story
Meet Booker, he was found as a tiny kitten at the New Jersey airport 13 years ago and has been part of our family ever since. He filled our home with love, laughter, and countless cuddles over the years. Booker is our little social butterfly. He’ll happily greet you throughout the day and even hold a “conversation” with you! He’s a total foodie who loves cozy spots, attention, and snuggles. Most of the time, you’ll find him lounging in his favorite spot. Sadly, since welcoming our baby, we haven’t been able to give him the time and cuddles he deserves, but we were making it work. Yet, I recently found out I'm pregnant, we just moved to FL, my husband travels a lot for work, and we have no family or friends here that can help with the litter. So, after much thought and heartbreak, we’ve made the very difficult decision to rehome him. We’re hoping to find him a loving home! He is healthy, spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, litter box trained, and strictly an indoor cat.
