Oreo is a sweet and playful kitty who’s looking for a patient and loving home. She can be a little nervous with new people, but once she warms up, she’s affectionate and enjoys being picked up by her family. Her favorite activities include lounging in the sunshine, playing with her feline friends, and even going outside for harnessed adventures! Oreo has lived with other cats, including her buddies Coconut and Daisy, who is also up for adoption here at Dakin. She has also done well in a home with dogs and older kids, though she prefers a quieter environment without young children. With time and love, Oreo will show you her playful, loving side and become a wonderful companion! Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home.

This is MishMish. He has lived with other cats and did very well with them. He is also a very playful boy. MishMish can be a sassy boy who is looking for an adults only household. He would do best as an indoor/outdoor cat to help with his sassy behaviors. He will also need someone who is willing to do a lot of hands off play with him and is looking for an independent cat. Once settled into a home he will be social on his terms. Sassy Cat Sassy cats are usually confident, intelligent and active. They often don’t like to be held, or have places on their bodies that they prefer not to be touched. When handled or petted in ways they do not prefer, they are likely to swat, nip or bite. They will be happiest in adult only homes or those with older kids who understand cats that have rules and will leave them alone. If they are bored then they may get into trouble and often need extra playtime in order to be their best selves. Sassy cats will go home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for EVERYONE in the home to be happy. Typically, sassy cats are not for first-time cat owners. Indoor/Outdoor Required Cats I have the spirit of a lion in my heart and it makes me want to roam and hunt. Do you appreciate a hunter? I need more adventure and activity than an indoor cat will get. If I am not allowed outdoors then I will get into trouble. This means I will play with things I am not supposed to and I may even start “hunting” the people that live there. I need more territory and things to do than an indoor only life will give me. If you want to add a feisty feline with a lot of personality, spunk and adventure to your life, then I’m the one for you!

Shelby is a 4.5 year old, neutered, housebroken, formerly feral love bug who seeks lots of attention and loves to cuddle up on the couch. He has good house manners but is a little weary of strangers. He was a kitten in a freral cat colony when he was trapped and neutered (hence the clipped ear). He was supposed to be released back into the wild but adapted well to domestic living and the pampered life. He has not been outdoors since he was 8 weeks old and does not have the skills to survive outside. He has been living with his sister, Tes, also available, his entire life. We would like to see them stay together. We can no longer keep the cats due to our health issues.

Meet this handsome 6 ½-year-old male long-haired cat, who was transferred to us from another shelter.

He’s looking for a patient, understanding adopter who can offer him the time and space he needs to adjust. If you’re ready to welcome this gorgeous boy into your life and give him the safe, calm environment he deserves, he could be the perfect companion for you!This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

She’s discovered her love for being petted, and her purrs are absolutely contagious—she purrs like a maniac when she’s getting the attention she deserves!Yeti does well with other cats but would do best with a companion who matches her chill energy.
