Story

ABOUT LYDIA & HANNIBAL Lydia is a shy, sweet girl who came to us as a semi-feral kitten. Now about 11 months old, she’s made remarkable progress in learning to trust people. Though she’s still a bit nervous around humans, she absolutely adores other cats and finds great comfort in feline companionship. To help her continue building confidence, we paired her with Hannibal, and it turned out to be the perfect match. Hannibal, just under 2 years old, is a social butterfly with a big heart. He’s friendly, affectionate, and outgoing. He loves meeting new people, gets along wonderfully with other cats, and has done well with respectful children. As Lydia’s “big brother,” Hannibal helps her feel safe and secure, guiding her with calm reassurance. Thanks to his support, Lydia continues to blossom. The two currently live in a free-roaming cat room, where they enjoy the company of other cats and spend their days playing, lounging, and bonding. We would love to see Hannibal and Lydia find a home together! They’d do best in a home with other friendly cats and cat-savvy children who understand that Lydia may need a bit more time and space to feel comfortable.

Story

This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography.

Story

This kitten has just arrived! They have come to us on transport from a shelter partner, were found as stray, or surrendered to our care. When kittens arrive to us we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, how they are with handling, or how much socialization with humans/animals they have received. Kittens require a significant amount of patience and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a kitten is a critical time to improve socialization and help your kitten become confident. Exposing your kitten to all kinds of touch, sounds, people, and animals can ensure a well-socialized adult cat. Remember, kittens aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future.
