Story
Meet Dotty! Born to a feral mother, this beautiful girl came into foster care as a shy young lady, but has blossomed into a playful and affectionate companion. She'll delight you with her silly antics! Her playful spirit shines through when chasing any feathered toys or pursuing the elusive laser dot. Want to win her heart? A bag of Temptations treats is your golden ticket to becoming her favorite human! Currently living harmoniously with other cats and a dog, she's earned the title of "Official Welcoming Committee" in her foster home, taking new foster cats under her wing and even grooming the little ones. While she loves her animal companions, she prefers the company of adults and older children who understand and respect her need for personal space – she's not shy about setting boundaries when she feels crowded! Dotty is the perfect blend of independence and affection. She'll greet you at the door with loving rubs and happily curl up in your lap for snuggles, but on her own terms. Being held or carried isn't her style, but she makes up for it by being an excellent companion! While adoption events can be overwhelming for our sweet girl (she's not a fan of cages or crowds), it would be best for Dolly to meet perspective adopters in person in order to get the full picture of just how sweet this beautiful girl is! Ready to give this special girl her forever home? Visit shelbycats.com/adopt to start your adoption journey today!

Story
Say hello to Buddy! Easygoing and Friendly are two words that perfectly describe him. Back in 2019, Buddy was fostered by his current foster mom. He was surrendered back to AOSC through no fault of his own and was adopted. No fault of his own was surrendered a second time in 2024-- he would love to find his FUREVER home. His foster mom has this to say about him: "Before coming back to me as a foster, Buddy was up for adoption at an adoption center, but was terrified at that particular adoption location. As soon as I brought him home, he has been nothing but sweet and affectionate! It has been fun fostering a previous foster of mine! Buddy loves human attention and loves to rub against your legs and be petted. He wants to be wherever YOU are! His foster home has 2 adult cats and he gets along with them very well. His last home he also got along with the other adult cat in the home. Buddy is curious and loves to sit and stare out the window. He LOVES Catnip and his favorite treats are Catnip Temptations! As a matter of fact, his favorite toys are filled with Catnip too! Buddy is a Good-Natured fellow who prefers to keep his space clean, including no bad litter box habits. This Handsome, Affectionate boy will be a great addition to a new family, and hopefully find the forever family that he deserves! Buddy is currently in a foster home. If you feel like he would be the perfect fit for your family, please consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!

Story
Meet Sirius, a stunning 10-month-old ebony prince looking for a patient family to help him blossom! This handsome boy, with his sleek black coat and athletic build, is currently on a journey of discovering just how wonderful human companionship can be. Sirius is a sensitive soul who's been closely bonded with his sister Graysie and their mom Dahlia. He shows his playful side through his fascination with spring toys, and once he feels secure, his adventurous spirit shines through. In his previous home, he would adorably play with his mother's tail, showing the sweet and gentle nature that lies beneath his shy exterior. While Sirius is still learning to trust, he has incredible potential to become a loving and devoted companion. He thrives in an environment with moderate activity levels, where he can gradually build confidence at his own pace. His athletic nature suggests he'll be an entertaining playmate once he feels at home. Sirius needs a special family who understands that love sometimes requires patience. The reward of earning his trust and watching him transform into a confident, affectionate companion will be worth every moment spent gaining his friendship.
