My story

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

Meet Rubbish, a Sweet 8-Month-Old Kitten Ready to Find His Forever Home!

Say hello to Rubbish, an 8-month-old boy with a big heart and a little bit of shyness! Rubbish may take some time to warm up, but once he feels safe and secure in your home, his sweet and affectionate nature will shine through. He’s currently living with other cats and enjoys their company, so he’d do best in a home with another feline friend to help him settle in and feel at ease.

Personality:

Affection Level: Shy at first but very sweet and loving once he feels comfortable
Energy Level: Playful and curious—he loves to explore and engage with toys
Likes: The company of other cats, exploring his surroundings, and gentle affection
Dislikes: Being rushed or overwhelmed; he prefers to go at his own pace
Perfect Home: Rubbish would thrive in a quiet home with another cat to keep him company. He’d do well in a household that can give him the time and space he needs to adjust, with a patient family who understands his shy nature.
Behavior with Kids: Rubbish would benefit from a calm, patient home with gentle, cat-savvy children who respect his need to settle in at his own pace.

Behavior with Other Pets: Rubbish enjoys the company of other cats and would love a feline companion in his new home. While he did well in his dog test, he will need a slow and careful introduction to any dogs to ensure everyone gets along.

Health & Medical:

Rubbish has a chronic upper respiratory infection (URI), which means he may experience mild symptoms like sneezing or a runny nose from time to time. It’s a manageable condition that requires ongoing care, and with the right diet and attention, Rubbish will continue to feel his best. He’s currently on a sensitive stomach and skin diet to help keep him in top health.

Ideal Home:

Rubbish is looking for a quiet, patient home where he can grow comfortable and thrive. A household with another cat would be ideal, as he enjoys their company and finds comfort in familiar feline friends. With the right care and attention, Rubbish will make a loyal, affectionate companion who’s sure to show his true, loving side once he’s settled in.

Why Rubbish?

If you’re ready to give Rubbish the time and patience he needs to feel at home, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal and sweet companion who’ll grow into the affectionate kitty you’ve been looking for. His playful spirit, combined with his gentle natur

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
