My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: Are you 65 or older? Ruben and Cherise are considered "senior" cats although they're probably only 1/3 the way through their lives. STILL, at their age, they are available for SENIOR CATS FOR SENIOR LAPS -- at a $10 adoption fee! Right now, Ruben and Cherise share a kitty condo, they're the same age as one another, they both are neutered/spayed. Other than that, they're quite different! Ruben is at least 1.5 times larger than Cherise; he's more interested in doing a thorough job of looking at everything in a new room -- again and again; he brushes up against your legs and says, "I can't stop but please pet me anyway."

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee for dogs is $125.00 and for cats is $80.00.

This includes a microchip and registration, a rabies vaccination and certificate if the animal is over 3 months old, distemper/parvo and bordetella vaccinations for dogs, FVRCP for cats, and a spay or neuter.

We offer a First Responders/Active Military discount once a year with a valid ID.

Adoption fees can be paid in cash, or with a credit/debit card. There is a convenience fee if a debit/credit is used.

There is a ‘playroom’ with dog toys and kitty furniture for you to enjoy meeting your new friend. We ask that you be here at least 30 minutes before closing in order to become acquainted, and to allow adequate time to complete the adoption paperwork.

We gladly accept donations! Monetary donations are used to purchase heartworm test kits, tick and flea preventives, antibiotics and other medications, toys, bedding, and other extras. We also accept donations of gently used towels, collars and leashes, beds, bowls, crates, etc.
