This guy is all love. He wants nothing more than to wrap himself around you, purring contentedly and even giving kisses. JESSIE also loves to play. His large golden eyes are full of fun and he keeps his midnight-black coat in mint condition. If you are looking for a guy who is all about being with you, through thick and thin, you really should give this five year old the opportunity to show you what he has to offer in the way of loyal friendship.
Pepe is a quiet, six year old short haired tuxedo who had been living outside, exposed to the elements, predators and all kinds of dangers. He arrived at the Shelter and settled into his kennel, all big eyes and no doubt confused, even though it must have been reassuring to have shelter, food and water and be warm. Within a very short time, he was accepting attention and purring his appreciation. Pepe yearns for a home where he will be loved and appreciated, where he can curl up in a warm spot, sit on a windowsill, keeping an eye on the squirrels, or watching for you to return. The return from investing a little time and affection is multiplied tenfold. Pepe really wants to be part of a family and feel safe and secure in the knowledge that his days on the streets, struggling for food and survival are over. He deserves that chance. Stop by and meet him soon.
This super affectionate eight-year-old female cat has a white coat with calico markings and a sweet, trusting nature. She had lived with her sister, Yang, for eight years when they were surrendered after allergies emerged. Yang has been adopted and now Yin is waiting for her turn. She loves attention and will sit or even stand on your lap, offer her belly and the look of love from those expressive eyes is just indescribable. It takes a little coaxing, as things are sometimes a little busy in the Adult Room and Yin prefers to take the quiet route. However, once you meet her she is so engaging you almost forget there is anyone else in the room. Other cats have actually attempted to interrupt introductions before! If you are looking for a feline friend who is quiet, adoring and affectionate, stop by and spend some time with Yin!
This one-year-old orange and white striped gent was found abandoned with another young cat and five adorable kittens by some Good Samaritans who brought them in to the Shelter. True to type, Graham exhibits the characteristic laid-back nature of the orange Tabby/Tiger, with a face that makes you want to pick him up, cuddle him and just enjoy the good vibes from the great response he gives. Graham is patiently waiting to find a home where he will be accepted as a member of the family, free to enjoy life without the uncertainty of the outside world worries, like coyotes, cars, where to find food or shelter. Come in and shake paws with this fabulous fellow soon!
Life is unfair - Natasha finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings after five years as a treasured pet, as her owner had to move and couldn't take her, so she and her feline friend, Austin, are looking for a new family. Together would be great, but they can be split up. Natasha has a sleek, black velvety coat and golden eyes. She's a lap cat and really loves attention. Spend some time with Natasha. She deserves a second chance to feel safe, secure and loved, a spoonful of patience helps any friendship grow. Do you have the room in your heart and home for this young lady?
Austin was surrendered with his feline friend, Natasha, after five years as a treasured house pet. To anyone who has ever had the feeling of being displaced, it's a mixed bag, none of it pleasant. Austin really likes the laser light and like Natasha, would do well in a quiet home with someone who understands the feeling of abandonment and need for space to acclimate. If you have what it takes to reassure this displaced soul what being a loved, appreciated pet is and give him the chance to offer his companionship in return for your offer of a home free of the worry of abandonment, stop by and ask to see him.
