Story
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?! 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!

Story
Meet Katie, a sweet and resilient 2-year-old feline who’s quickly stolen our hearts. Though she arrived at the shelter a bit shy, Katie has already blossomed in just a few short days—proving how much love and trust she has to give. With a little patience (and a squeezable treat or two), she’s shown her gentle personality and affectionate side, winning over everyone she meets. Katie is a shining example of how far a little kindness can go, and she’s ready to bring that same warmth and loyalty to her forever home. If you're looking for a loving companion who's overcome the odds with grace, Katie is waiting to meet you.

Story
Say hello to Harry, an adorable almost 3-month-old kitten with a heart full of love and a flair for the dramatic when it comes to nap time! This little snugglebug lives for cuddles and will happily curl up in your arms or beside you for a cozy snooze. He has a hilarious habit of napping in the oddest positions—up against walls, sprawled on his back, or even upside down—guaranteed to keep you smiling. While he may be a bit timid at first, it doesn’t take long for Harry’s sweet, affectionate personality to shine through. If you're looking for a funny, loving kitten to warm your heart and your home, Harry is ready to meet you!
