Hey there, have you been having a hankering for a Midnight snack?! Look no further! Actually, I'm kind of like the whole refrigerator! All that and a bag of chips! The bees knees! The cat's pajamas! The cream of the crop! The prime cut! Yep. That's me! Don't plan on forgetting that any time soon either! I am a 3 year old gorgeous specimen of a cat who found myself dumped in the shelter yard like the trash that I am NOT two and half years ago. I have been patiently waiting for someone who's willing to look and barely touch. I'm like an expensive piece of art. I love lounging around in soft beds and occasionally licking the servants faces while they clean my cage but I deserve more than a cage! Who knows, if you serve me well enough, over time I may even grace your lap with my presence. Doesn't that just sound divine?! Now I refuse to live with children or other animals, and you yourself should come equipped with thee most EXQUISITE manners. If you think you're prepared to treat me like the gem that I am, please submit a completed adoption application today!

Hey guys, remember me? I'm Phoebe! I was adopted a few months ago and shortly after, I was found outside. I don't know what I did to deserve to be tossed out, but at least I'm safe again here at the shelter! So, let's try this again. I'm a 5 year old girl who enjoys lap time and a nice snuggle with my people, although I prefer to come to you. I am not a big fan of being picked up. Overall I'm fairly laid back and just prefer to enjoy life. I do take daily medication for seizures that will need to be maintained. Thankfully I take my meds like a champ. I do enjoy the company of other calmer cats but CANNOT live with dogs. A calmer household would do me some good as my seizures seem to be triggered by stress. I do enjoy children as well, but older children in the home are preferred so that they understand my needs. If you think you have the right home for me and are willing to commit to me, please stop in and visit with me!

Hi there world! My name is Hershey! I am a pretty little lady at only 3 years old! I came into the shelter in 2022 with my babies. I was put into a foster program to care for my babies until they were ready to be on their own. We all came to the shelter and I watched my babies leave. I have been passed over for 2 whole years now, wishing for my forever home. I live in the communal area here and love every kitten that passes through like my own. The staff call my kitten friends 'Hershey's kisses.' The ideal home for me would be with other cats! I do best with friends to spend my time with. I enjoy spending most of my time on my recliner. My recliner is actually called an S-shaped cat scratcher that I love to lounge in! This is a MUST in my forever home! It is where I spend most of my time watching over the newest batch of Hershey's kisses. I enjoy pets but enjoy being an independent woman even more! So pets will be on my terms.

EXPERIENCED ADOPTERS NEEDEDHey guys, I'm Billie! I came to the shelter as a stray with horribly overgrown nails, which means I can be sensitive about my feet at times. I love to run, it is my favorite thing ever. As soon as the staff open my cage I fly across the room like I'm out to win an imaginary race! I also LOVE chasing balls and laser pointers. I would be happiest in a home that isn't looking for a lovey-dovey lap cat. I do enjoy pets now and again, but I usually end up trying to chew on your hands like a toy. The staff often refer to me as being onery, I don't really see it though! No children or dogs in the home for me, but I could possibly cohabitate with other older shadow cats who aren't interested in being in my space. I would definitely need time to acclimate being in a new place and around new people. Once you get to know me though, you'll see that I am quite an entertaining kid who would love nothing more than her own home to race around in and relax. If you are interested in meeting with me, please submit a completed adoption application today!

Hi there, Hobo Joe's the name and finding my forever family is the game! I came to the shelter as a stray at a year old but I am ready to be off of the streets forever. I am a social guy who enjoys attention and pets. I should be just fine living in a home with children. I will not be able to live with other cats or dogs. Cardboard boxes are my absolute favorite place to nap and I would appreciate access to a few around my new home. If you are interested in meeting with me, please submit a completed adoption application today!

Hi guys, Indigo here. I'm a gorgeous 4 year old girl who was brought in as a stray. I was terrified when I first arrived. After some much needed TLC at the shelter I am now looking for my forever home! I have made lots of progress in the shelter coming out of my shell but building my confidence is still something I would need to work on with my forever home. I will need a family willing to go slow with me. I can be a bit quirky at times and will need an experienced, adult only home in order to thrive. I prefer attention on my terms and will happily come up to you for it, but I do not like to be picked up and carried around. I have not been tested with dogs at this time, but I cannot live with other cats. Whatcha say, could it be you? If so, please submit an application for me today!
