AMBER
Medium size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2008 -- Rarely do we get in such a beautiful cat, and what makes Amber even more unique is that she is an orange female, not something we see every day. Amber is a bit shy, but really enjoys attention and seems to be fine with other cats. She would do best in a home where there wasn’t too much activity and she had time to adjust to all that was happening around her. A real stunner, we’re sure Amber will make a wonderful companion.
BELLA
Medium size spayed female Domestic Long Hair. Estimated DOB June 2009 -- Bella truly lives up to her name. She has a beautiful coat and striking markings. She can be a bit reserved at first, but is a sweet, affectionate cat at heart. Bella is fine with other cats, but may be too frightened of dogs to live with them. We feel she would do best in a quieter home where she can work on improving her confidence. If you are willing to take the time with this beauty, you’ll certainly be rewarded.
BIG ALVIN - I'VE BEEN ADOPTED !!!
Large size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2002 -- Big Alvin, or Big Al, as he has come to be called, was recently brought to a neighboring humane society. After checking him for a microchip we were contacted and were happy to take this boy back when his owner could no longer keep him. Big Al is what you would expect from a big tom cat. He loves attention, is super mellow and gets along with both dogs and cats. This boy is happiest when he is getting lots of attention, and we feel he would make a great family cat, he would probably enjoy lots of attention from children and adults. Big Al is sure to give his new family lots of love, and in return he asks that you love him back forever this time.
CREAMSICLE
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2009 -- Creamsicle is a handsome young cat who enjoys being pet. He is fine with other cats, but may be too timid for a home with dogs. He enjoys one on one time with people, and is quickly adapting to the sights and sounds of shelter life. Creamsicle is incredibly sweet, he just needs some time to adjust in order to let his true personality show. He would do best in a quieter home with another cat to buddy up with.
DEXTER
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB May 2008 -- A sweet, affectionate cat, Dexter has personality and good looks. With his unique coloring, and long agile body, he is quite a lovely sight. Dexter is a mellow boy who seems fine with other cats and not phased by much. While initially timid, he warms up quickly and seems to truly enjoy attention. He is ready to find his new forever kingdom!
ESTY
Medium size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2008 DECLAWED -- Sweet Esty likes to receive attention and loves a good pet behind the ears. Having come to us declawed she’ll need an indoor only home. She seems fine with other cats and can hold her own with friendly dogs. She does not love to be picked up, and typical of tortishell cats, she likes attention best when she initiates it. She’d do best in a child free home, or a home where she’ll get to be independent and not expected to be a lap cat. Esty is a nice cat, and will make an adopter very happy.
HUMPHREY
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB June 2007 -- While Humphrey may have entered our shelter as a stray, we’re quite sure that he had been previously well cared for. He is outgoing and affectionate, and never shies away from attention. He is easygoing with other cats, and not too phased by dogs. He would make a great companion for a family whose children want to interact with the cat a LOT. He always wants to be where the action is, and will remind you when it is feeding time. Humphrey is a truly wonderful kitty. We know his new family will appreciate how social and loving he is.
JONES
Medium size neutered male Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB August 2009 -- Sweet Jones was found as a stray and brought to the shelter for safe keeping. With his good looks and outgoing personality he had many admirers quickly. Now that he is available for adoption, we have no doubt that he’ll continue to have lots of fans here at the shelter and once he is in his forever home. Jones is quite easygoing, but also a bit playful. He is unphased by other cats, and seems to tolerate dogs quite well. If you are looking for an all around wonderful kitty, Jones may just be your next best friend!
JOSEY
Medium size spayed female Domestic Long Hair/Torti. Estimated DOB May 2004
Josey was found as a stray and brought to the shelter for safe keeping. She is a sweet, vocal kitty who enjoys getting her ears and back scratched. While she is affectionate, she does not seem too demanding of attention and enjoys her kitty space. Josey came to the shelter declawed and will require an inside-only / supervised-outside home. Josey is looking for the rest of her pussycats or just a kind and loving guardian to make music with for the rest of her days.
MOOKIE
Large size spayed female Domestic short hair - DE-CLAWED. Estimated DOB June 2006 -- Mookie is a cat for cat lovers. She has all the attributes people should appreciate in kitties. She is friendly and social, but happy to do her own thing. She is good with children and has lived harmoniously with other cats. She is fine with calm dogs, but a bit put off by rambunctious ones. Being that she is declawed Mookie will need an indoor only lifestyle, which seems to suit her just fine. This large girl likes to find a comfy place to lay and survey the land for most of the day. If you are looking for an easy going, adorably large cat, Mookie is your girl.
NORTON
Large size neutered male Domestic Short hair. Estimated DOB June 2006 -- Norton is a handsome kitty with beautiful markings. He is sweet, but a bit shy, and would do best in a home that could provide him a safe, calm environment. We feel he will be more outgoing in a home and that shelter life is just a bit stressful for him. Norton is good with other cats, and would do well in a home with other felines who can show him the ropes. He is sure to make a good lap cat, as he enjoys being pet and brushed. If you are looking for a handsome, large kitty, Norton may be your man!
PENNY
Medium size spayed female Domestic Long Hair. Estimated DOB August 2003 -- Penny was surrendered to the shelter because her owners felt she didn’t get along with their newly acquired dog. Penny is a very sweet cat that had done well with her consistent routine for the past six years. Here at the shelter Penny seemed very overwhelmed and stressed. Penny is now in a foster home in the hopes that she’ll become comfortable and be adopted straight to a home without having to come back to the shelter. Penny is a bit on the plump side, so a home that is dedicated to helping her lose weight would be best for her health. We already know what a sweet, affectionate and loving cat Penny is... now we’re hoping she’ll find a home soon and show her new adopters how great she is too.
PERSIA
Medium size spayed female Persian. Estimated DOB January 2009 -- Persia came to the shelter when her owner moved and could not bring her along. She is described as a bit timid, so naturally, her first few days at the shelter were a bit overwhelming for her. While indeed timid at first, Persia is slowly coming out of her shell. She enjoys attention and seems fine with the other cats in her room. In fact, we think due to her shy nature, she would do best with another friendly cat in the household. Persia will need regular grooming in order to keep her coat well maintained and adopters should be familiar with the Persian breed. This sweet girl has always been a loving companion and we know the right adopter will come along and see her inner and outer beauty.
SESAME
Medium size spayed female Domestic Shorthair. Estimated DOB August 2008 -- Sesame arrived at the shelter as a stray, a bit underweight, and with an abscess which required some medical care. She has since put on some weight and has healed up nicely. It appears that Sesame has never had an abundance of food, so here at the shelter, mealtime is definitely her favorite time of day! Sesame is affectionate, but like many felines, she enjoys her independence as well. She can be a bit ornery with other cats, and would probably do best as the only feline in the home. If you are looking for a cat with lots of sass and spunk, then Sesame is your girl!
SIENNA
Small size spayed female Domestic Short Hair. Estimated DOB January 2009 -- Sweet Sienna is a beautiful cat with an equally wonderful personality. She is quite petite, and perhaps with age will fill out a bit more, but she’ll never be a large cat. Sienna is good with other cats, however dogs can overwhelm her. She takes some time to come out of her shell, but she does enjoy attention and is always eager to have someone pet or brush her. Sienna would do best in a quieter home, where she could acclimate to her new life in her own time, and wouldn’t be expected to always be social. If you are looking for a cute, petite cat, with a wonderful personality, than Sienna is waiting for you!
SNORKEL
Medium size neutered male Siamese mix. Estimated DOB August 2007 -- Snorkel is a unique looking cat who shelter staff were surprised never got reclaimed by his owner. Typical of his breed mix, when Snorkel first arrived, he wanted to tell us all about his adventures. Now that he has been here a while, he has quieted down and only gives an occasional meow around feeding time. Snorkel is great with other cats. He is currently housed with a female and male kitty, and he gets along well with both. He isn’t too phased by dogs, and we feel that this handsome fellow would make a great family pet.
TURNIP
Medium size spayed female Manx. Estimated DOB July 2008 -- Turnip is a true Manx. For lovers of the breed, you won’t find a more beautiful kitty. With her long fur and tabby coloring, she is a striking cat. Turnip is a bit on the shy side. After just a few days, she became more comfortable, social and outgoing. Still, Turnip will most likely always be a bit on the timid side, and we are suggesting a home without small children. She gets along well with other cats, but dogs are a bit scary for her. If given enough time and love to adjust to her new surroundings, we know she’ll become a loveable companion for years to come.
