Story
Meet this beautiful girl named Hilda! She came into the shelter January 16, 2024 as a stray and was never reclaimed so she’s now awaiting her adoption day. She came in around 8 weeks old and is current on shots. She came in a scared kitten and is settling in but will need a home that will help her settle in and feel security and loved. Loved when I reached in and loved on her. Just a beautiful young girl who deserves to have an equally loving FOREVER home to call her own. Maybe you’re perfect for sweet Hilda?! We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today! If you adopt a cat that is not already spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to help cover the cost of the surgery, and some vets honor the voucher 100%! Such a great deal -- while also saving a life!! All of our cats are tested for FIV as well as Feline Leukemia before being placed up for adoption. Not quite ready for the commitment of adoption but would love to contribute to the health and happiness of our feline fur babies? We'd very much appreciate some litter, or food (especially kitten food - Purina is their favorite!). Maybe you will have some time to snuggle and love on them while you're here. It makes their time here more enjoyable when they get extra love & attention. Also, we need volunteers & foster homes! Come to the shelter to apply! The shelter hours are Monday-Friday 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm (we close from 1pm-2pm for lunch), and Saturday 10am-4pm. Hope to see you soon!

Story
Meet this cutie named Cinny Twist! She came into the shelter as a stray on July 9, 2024 and was never reclaimed so she is amongst the many kitties awaiting their chance at knowing a happily ever after. Maybe you can make her dreams of a loving FOREVER home come true!!? Cinny Twist is 4 months old (as of 8/10/24), current on shots, and just a shy but sweet young kitty who deserves to know true happiness and love from a wonderful person or family. She enjoys the company of other cats and soaking up attention from her human friends. Just takes her a little time to warm up to you. Maybe you have the most pur-fect FOREVER home for Cinny Twist …maybe another kitten too? Kittens do well in pairs & really enjoy the company of another cat around. Also kittens love to climb…tall climbing post are extra awesome for them. Did you know clipping their nails every 4-5 weeks reduces their need to scratch in order to file nails back…may require one person holding while other one clips. Toys toys toys the more the merrier…hope these tips help. We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today!

Story
Hello, I'm Mocha! My life took a magical turn when I stumbled upon a hidden portal in an old library. It whisked me away to a realm of enchanting creatures. There, I learned the language of birds, befriended a wise old tortoise, and played chase with sprites. But one day, I woke up in this shelter. I miss my fantastical friends, but I've learned that real magic is in the love shared between a cat and their human. I'm friendly, cuddly, and ready to bring a touch of enchantment to your life. Will you be my new adventure?

Story
Mully is a 1 year and 9 month old, intact male who has had a rough start to life. Mully was rescued from a very hot garage, with his mama and littermates, just days after their birth. Placed with a foster, Mully was attacked by a foster dog. We are gratful that he sustained only minor physical injuries. However, due to this tragic event, Mully is now terrified of dogs. He would be best in a home with no other animals. Mully is fully vaccinated and vetted. He has received diagnostic testing for heartworms, internal parasites, Feline Lukemia as well as Feline Aids. He's results = No parasites seen / Negative - FeLV, FIV. Mully receives Revolution Plus to protect against, fleas, ticks, heartworms, and internal parasites, monthly. Mully has an appointment set to be neutered on March 14, 2025. It will be the adopters responsibility to ensure that Mully is transported to his primary vet on this date for rescue pricing. *Details to be discussed.

Story
Tiny Tank’s story started right before July 4th when he ran up to us from the street, immediately crawling up our legs, and perching on our shoulders. We immediately took him in due to how malnourished he looked and weren’t sure if he would make it. Within a week he was gaining weight and showed his playful nature. And after a couple weeks he was full interacting with my other two cats and showed a lot of interest in sleeping on our laps. He is the most loving kitten and even puts up with our large puppy. Tank would be good with anyone from a first time cat owner to an experienced cat owner. His favorite thing to do is flips when he’s playing and his favorite past time is definitely eating.
