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.

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 Garfield – A Handsome Gentleman Who Knows What He Likes Garfield is a 4-year-old adult cat with classic orange-tabby charm and a calm, confident presence. He’s friendly and enjoys human company on his terms — the kind of cat who will happily keep you company, soak up attention, and then politely let you know when he’s had enough. Garfield loves pets and affection, but he’s not a fan of belly rubs (a boundary he makes clear with dignity). Because of this, he’s best suited for a quiet, adult-only home where his cues will be respected and he can relax without the unpredictability of little hands. He’s an easygoing guy who appreciates comfort, routine, and a cozy place to lounge. If you’re looking for a cat with personality, independence, and plenty of charm — without the chaos — Garfield could be the perfect companion. Garfield’s Ideal Home Adult-only (no kids) Calm, predictable environment Someone who appreciates a cat with boundaries and personality If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, self-assured cat into your life, Garfield is ready to meet you.

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
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
