Tabby kittens & cats in Dahlonega, Georgia

Meet Ellie Poor Ellie was six years old when she was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation and taken to a kill shelter. The volunteers there fell in love with her and asked us if we could take her in and find her a good home. We happily did so. Ellie is seven years old now. She’s always been a little shy and quiet, but super sweet. She loves attention and welcomes pets. With so much going for her, Ellie was fairly quickly adopted. She was doing great in her new home. She had really blossomed. Her mom said she was sweet, friendly, cuddly, easy to hold, she loved attention, and she loved belly rubs. She was a great little kitty. After only three months though, Ellie was returned. Ellie made the mistake of tinkling outside the box a few times. After not finding anything physically wrong with her, Ellie came back. We’re grateful her mom did the right thing, but it hurts our hearts that Ellie was so easily given up on. She didn’t do it on purpose. Ellie was trying to communicate that something wasn’t right. Since coming back, she’s been quiet and shy and a little defeated. Staff and volunteers are working overtime showing her that she’s loved and she’s responding, but she’s grieving for her home. She purrs quietly. She sits in the sun. She loves being petted and will lean into you. Ellie does fine with the other kitties and easily coexists with them. She wants so badly to be brave, but there are just so many changes and noises at the shelter for this gentle soul right now. Ellie has used her litter box perfectly since coming back, so we don’t know what happened. We do know that Ellie’s perfect home is out there still. She’s had a hard life filled with disappointment. We pray for a soft landing in a caring home. Ellie is a gem and deserves a chance. Someone who will commit to her and let her know she matters.

Julie is a cute brown tabby looking for a forever home. Her owner had to move and could not take her so she is in foster care. She prefers being an indoor outdoor cat and she is indoor now. She so much want to wander in the yard during day and sleep inside at night. She has been a only cat. Can you help Julie find some Sunshine!!!

Susu is a smart, timid, quiet, and very friendly girl. She was spayed and microchipped. She has a gentle personality and may take a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Once she feels safe, she is a wonderful and loving companion.Susu is a bit of a professional napper and self-groomer. She loves relaxing, keeping herself clean, and enjoying a peaceful environment.She especially loves being around other animals and family members. She enjoys companionship and likes to feel like she is part of the family. She is quiet and easygoing, and she is happiest when people or other animals are around her.Susu is spayed, microchipped, and well litter trained.Unfortunately, my wife and I travel a lot for work, and we are away from home frequently. We can no longer give her the time, companionship, and attention she deserves. But we want to find her a loving and caring forever home where she can be happy and feel like part of the family.

Appa was found abandoned in an apartment amenities space when I decided to shelter her. We took her to the vet to check for a microchip, and there was one. After speaking to the owners, she was a gift to a friend but that friend could no longer take care of her and dumped her in an apartment room. Appa is very cuddly and affectionate. She gets along well with all other life (she’s shy at first but warms up to everyone). Help Appa find a new home!

Serenity is a pretty girl. She's prissy and does not like her fur to be messed up. She loves to be brushed though. She does not like to be held but loves to lay on you at all times. She does not like her back end, tail, or back paws to be touched. Her head, neck, and upper back are her favorite spots to be scrached. She is not the shy type. In fact, when a stranger comes into her home she must investigate them. She is super soft but has to be brushed because she sheds. I rescued her when she was a kitten. She is about 9 years old now. She is strictly an inside cat! She has not spent any time outside! I want her to be adopted by a loving family who will love her just as much as I do! She deserves all the love!

Meet Dahlia! 🩷Dahlia is a beautiful, incredibly loving girl born around September 2023 who is looking for her forever home. She is wonderful with people and children and loves belly rubs, being held, cuddling, and playing with toys. She has such a sweet nature, a big personality, and the cutest, girliest little meow!Dahlia is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully vetted. She is healthy and ready for her new home.Dahlia would likely do best as the only cat, though she may do well with a friendly, welcoming cat who is comfortable with other cats and given a proper introduction. The only reason we are rehoming Dahlia is that she can’t get along with our resident cat, who is very wary of her. This is unfortunate since she is very affectionate with humans. Dahlia is truly a special cat with so much love to give. I’m looking for a safe, loving, responsible forever home where she will be cherished and treated like family. I truly believe someone out there will fall in love with her! 🩷

Meet Poppy, a special girl searching for a patient and loving family to call her own.From the moment Poppy arrived, we knew she would need extra time, care, and understanding. It took nearly a month before she felt safe enough to let us pet her, but every small step forward has been incredibly rewarding.We don’t know much about Poppy’s past, but it’s clear she hasn’t always known kindness. For weeks, she stayed perched high on a cat tree, only coming down at night after the house was quiet and the caregivers had gone to bed. Still, every day we sat with her, spoke softly to her, and worked to earn her trust, and every day, she made a little more progress.Now, Poppy is beginning to enjoy affection and seek out our company. Watching her learn that people can be gentle and loving has been truly special.Poppy seems comfortable around other cats and continues to blossom with human interaction. She will need a calm, patient home willing to let her continue building confidence at her own pace. In return, you’ll get to experience the incredible joy of helping a shy cat finally feel safe and loved.Could you be the person who helps Poppy fully learn to trust?Poppy`s adoption fee is $150, which includes her spay, microchip, Rabies vaccine, 2 FVRCP vaccines, FIV/FeLV combo test (Poppy is negative!) and up to date on flea/tick preventative. If you are interested in adopting Poppy, you may fill out an application at www.tlchs.org or you are welcome to make a Match Making appointment to come out and meet her first. We are open Tuesday – Sunday 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
