Bobby arrived at our shelter in early February as an owner surrender. When he first came to us, he was understandably shy and unsure of his new surroundings. Bobby still takes his time to warm up to new people, but we’re working with him every day to help him feel more secure and show the sweet cat he truly is and now when he gets lots of love he drools with joy.
For now, Bobby feels most comfortable with his best friend stringbean, since they met in shelter they have been best buds. He likes tucking himself behind his bed or litterbox, where he can feel safe and protected. Although he’s not quite ready to be the outgoing, cuddly companion just yet, we can see glimpses of the gentle, loving side he has inside. With patience and understanding, we know Bobby will slowly begin to trust more.
Bobby’s journey may take some time, but he’s worth the wait. If you’re someone who can offer a quiet, calm space and give Bobby the time and patience he needs to open up, you might just be the perfect match for this shy, sweet boy.

Over 1,100 animals pass through our doors every year. Did you know that the average cost to get our animals ready to be adoptable is roughly $350 per animal? That is because we require our adoptables to be spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated before adopting out.
Population control and disease management are issues in our community that we are working hard to resolve. Your donations help ensure we can continue our mission.
We have an amazing team of hard working staff caring for our animals 7 days a week. They are supported by a group of engaged board members that are focused on bettering our organization.
