Meet Ellie! This sweet girl was an owner surrender at no fault of her own. Ellie is 5 years old and she does have a liver shunt. Her previous owner did say she would have random flair ups and she does need to be on Hydrolyzed Protein food. We do know her condition can hinder her from finding a new forever home but we know someone is out there who would be perfect for her!

Story
Meet Princess Peach – A Regal Calico with Star Power Princess Peach is a stunning female calico with a true diva personality and no apologies about it. She’s confident, expressive, and knows exactly what she likes — and what she doesn’t. While she’s friendly and engaging on her terms, Princess Peach prefers a calm, respectful environment where her boundaries are understood. The busy shelter environment simply doesn’t meet her needs. Princess Peach thrives with routine, quiet, and one-on-one attention, and she would do best in a home without young children. In the right setting, her personality really shines — she enjoys affection, companionship, and being admired (as she should be). Princess Peach is the perfect match for someone who appreciates a cat with character, independence, and elegance. If you’re looking for a companion who brings beauty, confidence, and a little sass into your life, Princess Peach is ready to rule her forever home. If you think Princess Peach could be the queen of your castle, she’d love to meet you. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com

Story
Meet Diva – A Tiny Queen with a Big Personality Diva is a young female tortie with a true princess personality and all the confidence to match. She’s expressive, opinionated, and absolutely charming — the kind of cat who knows she’s special and expects you to know it too. Diva enjoys affection on her terms and loves being admired. She’s playful, curious, and full of character, with that classic tortie sass that makes life more entertaining. When she wants attention, she’ll let you know — and when she’s ready to relax, she’s perfectly content lounging like royalty. She would do best in a home that appreciates a cat with personality and respects boundaries, where she can be the star of the show and settle into a routine that suits her regal tastes. If you’re looking for a companion who brings beauty, confidence, and a little bit of attitude (the fun kind), Diva is ready to take her place as queen of your home.

Story
Meet Dr Pepper – A Sweet Classic Looking for a Home Dr Pepper is a 1-year-old, 8 lb male cat who was found as a stray near a Sheetz, but he’s clearly meant for a cozy indoor life. He’s a sweet, gentle boy with an easygoing personality and a friendly nature. Dr Pepper enjoys human company and settles in quickly, making him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, affectionate cat. He’s happy to accept pets, hang out nearby, and enjoy the simple comforts of being safe and cared for. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and after starting out on his own, Dr Pepper is ready for a fresh start in a loving home where he can relax and just be a cat. If you’re looking for a young cat with a soft personality and a lot of heart, Dr Pepper could be the perfect match. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Snow White — a breathtaking white beauty with striking blue eyes and a sensitive heart. Snow White has an eye deformity, but it doesn’t slow her down at all. What she truly needs is something different: time, patience, and a home that respects her boundaries. Snow White does not trust quickly and can become fearful or defensive when approached too fast. She is not a cat who wants to be handled or rushed into affection. With the one trainer she trusts, Snow White has shown that progress is possible — but for her, it’s a long “eventually.” She will need a calm, quiet home with a patient, cat-savvy adopter who will let her set the pace and celebrate the small wins. Snow White is bonded with her daughter, Grumpy, and they MUST be adopted together. They depend on each other for comfort and security, and staying together gives them the best chance to thrive. If you’re gentle, patient, and experienced with shy cats, Snow White and Grumpy may be the kind of bond-and-build relationship that’s truly worth the wait.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 22, 2026, 8:30 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Introducing Grumpy — the tiny princess with the “look but don’t touch” energy (at least at first). She’s the baby of Snow White, with the same gorgeous white fur and soulful green eyes, but Grumpy isn’t the type to rush into friendships. She prefers quiet moments, gentle voices, and plenty of personal space while she learns to feel safe. Give her time, and she’ll begin to relax and show you the calm, sweet side underneath that grumpy little reputation. Grumpy is looking for a patient person and a peaceful home where she can settle in on her own terms. Grumpy is bonded with her mother, Snow White, and they MUST be adopted together. They rely on each other for comfort and security, and keeping them together is the best way to help them feel safe and settle into a new home. If you’re looking for a duo with unique personalities and a bond that truly matters, Grumpy and Snow White may be your perfect match.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 22, 2026, 8:30 am

Story
This 6-month-old orange and white kitten isn’t just any cat, he’s a survivor, a goofball, and a total heart-stealer. Rescued from a scorching hot grocery store parking lot in 100-degree Texas weather (where management wanted to leave him to die), Gingi beat the odds and never looked back. Affectionately known as “the most authentic orange cat you’ll ever meet,” Gingi is a lovable mix of chaos and charm. He’s clumsy, silly, and endlessly entertaining (we’re talking multiple backflips, loves to sip water and a soundtrack of quirky little noises that sound like he’s narrating his own cartoon. This athletic little guy has energy for days, but he’s also incredibly social and craves connection. Gingi loves people and being part of the action, he’s confident, curious, and smart enough to open doors (yes, really!). Whether he’s doing zoomies, sipping from the water bowl like it's a fine wine, or showing off his high jumps, he’s always finding a way to make you smile. neutered and leash trained
