Looks like we may leave Iris with her Foster. Waiting for the committment! Iris is a beautiful 6 month old Torbie cat! She is currently at our Vet's office being spayed and also for an eye enucleation.(removal) Her eye was damaged when we found her and could not be saved. Iris is undergoing her antibiotic treatment and observation. She needs a quiet Foster home to prepare her for adoption. Iris is obsessed with her laser pointer! Her photo was taken sitting in the window at our retail location. More to follow soon. Please let us know if you can help with this little beauty.

Story
Meet this BEAUTIFUL girlie named Lina! She came in May 22, 2023 and when her owner had too many animals and could no longer keep her so she’s awaiting her “adoption day”! She came in super scared and unsure of shelter life but is sweet just needs time to acclimate and feel secure and loved. Can’t blame her since there is nothing familiar to her. Very common. Once in a home starting in a smaller area and gradually opening up area to her will make a smoother transition. With love, patience, and time to settle in I think her sweetness will shine brighter and brighter with time. Lina is 4 years 6 months old, current on shots, already spayed, and deserves a wonderful loving home and family or person she can call her own. Maybe you have the most perfect laid back home for this sweetie?! Visit with Lina today and give her back the homelife she’s missing!

Story
Meet this cutie named Arya! She and her siblings came in July 11, 2023 and are keeping their paws crossed that it’s not too much longer before they are adopted into their FOREVER home. They are 4 months old (late September), current on shots, and full of happiness and love to share. Just need someone or a family to give them a chance at a fabulous life that they so deserve! Please know that kittens do great in pairs (always a friend to play with when family is away), toys toys toys the more the merrier, and cats love to climb. Climbing post are wonderful to have around. Also keeping their nails trimmed every 3 weeks will reduced their need to “scratch to file back nails”. Stop by for a visit and give Arya and her siblings a chance at a fabulous life the need! We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today! If you adopt a cat that is not already spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to help cover the cost of the surgery, and some vets honor the voucher 100%! Such a great deal -- while also saving a life!! All of our cats are tested for FIV as well as Feline Leukemia before being placed up for adoption. Not quite ready for the commitment of adoption but would love to contribute to the health and happiness of our feline fur babies? We'd very much appreciate some litter, or food (especially kitten food - Purina is their favorite!). Maybe you will have some time to snuggle and love on them while you're here. It makes their time here more enjoyable when they get extra love & attention. Also, we need volunteers & foster homes! Come to the shelter to apply! The shelter hours are Monday-Friday 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm (we close from 1pm-2pm for lunch), and Saturday 10am-4pm. Hope to see you soon!

Meet this beautiful girl named Hilda! She came into the shelter January 16, 2024 as a stray and was never reclaimed so she’s now awaiting her adoption day. She came in around 8 weeks old and is current on shots. She came in a scared kitten and is settling in but will need a home that will help her settle in and feel security and loved. Loved when I reached in and loved on her. Just a beautiful young girl who deserves to have an equally loving FOREVER home to call her own. Maybe you’re perfect for sweet Hilda?!

Story
Meet this precious girlie named Itty Bitty! She and her older brother BoBo were surrendered over to the shelter on April 20, 2024 when their owners health was declining and no one to care for them. Sad for these sweet kitties who are shy and out of the cozy comfort zone that they have been accustomed to. Itty Bitty is 2 years old, current on shots, and already spayed. She’s currently in the communal cat room and settling in nicely. It’s very common for cats be be shy and unsure with nothing familiar to them. Once back in a home I feel certain that Itty Bitty will come out of that shy shell and be a perfect cat. Maybe you have the most perfect home for this sweetheart? Maybe even her 10 year old brother Bobo too!? We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today!
