Story
Archie is 9 months old. He is an incredibly playful, loving boy. He is very high energy and loves to play fetch. I can unfortunately no longer give him the time he deserves due to my increased travel requirements for work. He loves his cupcake toy so much that he has two and a banana that has been sewn up at every possible seam. I know he will make a great addition to any home and he will thrive with a family that can give him their time and love more regularly.

Story
Hi, my name is Dunkin. I am 4.5 years old. I love window watching, sitting in high places, treats, and feeding time. I am good with kids, dogs are not my favorite but can get used to them, I am good with other cats. I mainly mind my own business and sleep during the day. But at night is when I come out and play. **Appointments scheduled to get shots updated**

Story
Pete is a really sweet, laid back cat. I offered to watch him while a former roommate was moving out of state, but, unfortunately, that person never returned for his pet. I've had Pete ever since, and I will certainly miss him. But I'm moving and am allowed to have only two pets. I've contacted my old roommate and haven't heard back. Pete gets along well with his older "stepbrother" (ginger tabby) and his younger "stepbrother" (high-energy dog). He basically raised my dog from a puppy (and did a fine job!). He enjoys sleeping on my legs every night in bed, he's accustomed to claw trims and has never bit or tried to attack me (he doesn't love it, but he lets it happen), and he has NEVER (!) gone outside the litter box. He's vocal when he's hungry, but otherwise he has a very soft meow that doesn't come out very often. He LOVES to play with anything attached to a string and won't stop until you do. Excellent little mouser, as well, though he prefers the lizards that we had in Florida.

Story
Meet Pancakes! This little one was found on the streets of Decatur last June at only 5 weeks old and nearly dead and has since made a full 180 recovery. She's healthy, spayed, up to date on her FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, and is ready to be your new friend. She would do better in a home with at least another cat to hang out with, as she is very much a social butterfly. Consider taking littlest baby Pancakes home to be a loving addition to your family today.
