Domestic Shorthair

Details

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 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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cinnamon got her name from her beautiful warm coloring, but don't let the cozy name fool you - this girl's got spice. She's all about action: chasing toys, pouncing on lasers, and showing off her Olympic-level parkour skills around the room. While she's not big on cuddles, Cinnamon is full of personality and would thrive in a home that loves her independence and playful energy. She's looking for a forever home that appreciates a cat who knows what she wants - fun, freedom, and feather toys. Cinnamon has really started coming out of her shell recently especially to any regular staff or volunteers that play with her often...even letting them pet her at times. She greet them at the doors and has even been caught pawing at the doors to make noise to get their attention if they are not playing with her. She wants to play, play, play and hopes that she can find someone who wants to be the laser master or fly her toy birds above her for her to catch. She gets along well with other cats, especially if they like to play as much as she does.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2025, 1:08 pm
