Story
Meet this cutie named Arya! She and her siblings came in July 11, 2023 and are keeping their paws crossed that it’s not too much longer before they are adopted into their FOREVER home. They are 4 months old (late September), current on shots, and full of happiness and love to share. Just need someone or a family to give them a chance at a fabulous life that they so deserve! Please know that kittens do great in pairs (always a friend to play with when family is away), toys toys toys the more the merrier, and cats love to climb. Climbing post are wonderful to have around. Also keeping their nails trimmed every 3 weeks will reduced their need to “scratch to file back nails”. Stop by for a visit and give Arya and her siblings a chance at a fabulous life the need! We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today! If you adopt a cat that is not already spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to help cover the cost of the surgery, and some vets honor the voucher 100%! Such a great deal -- while also saving a life!! All of our cats are tested for FIV as well as Feline Leukemia before being placed up for adoption. Not quite ready for the commitment of adoption but would love to contribute to the health and happiness of our feline fur babies? We'd very much appreciate some litter, or food (especially kitten food - Purina is their favorite!). Maybe you will have some time to snuggle and love on them while you're here. It makes their time here more enjoyable when they get extra love & attention. Also, we need volunteers & foster homes! Come to the shelter to apply! The shelter hours are Monday-Friday 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm (we close from 1pm-2pm for lunch), and Saturday 10am-4pm. Hope to see you soon!

Story
Meet this beautiful girl named Hilda! She came into the shelter January 16, 2024 as a stray and was never reclaimed so she’s now awaiting her adoption day. She came in around 8 weeks old and is current on shots. She came in a scared kitten and is settling in but will need a home that will help her settle in and feel security and loved. Loved when I reached in and loved on her. Just a beautiful young girl who deserves to have an equally loving FOREVER home to call her own. Maybe you’re perfect for sweet Hilda?! We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today!

Story
Meet this cutie named Cinny Twist! She came into the shelter as a stray on July 9, 2024 and was never reclaimed so she is amongst the many kitties awaiting their chance at knowing a happily ever after. Maybe you can make her dreams of a loving FOREVER home come true!!? Cinny Twist is 4 months old (as of 8/10/24), current on shots, and just a shy but sweet young kitty who deserves to know true happiness and love from a wonderful person or family. She enjoys the company of other cats and soaking up attention from her human friends. Just takes her a little time to warm up to you. Maybe you have the most pur-fect FOREVER home for Cinny Twist …maybe another kitten too? Kittens do well in pairs & really enjoy the company of another cat around. Also kittens love to climb…tall climbing post are extra awesome for them. Did you know clipping their nails every 4-5 weeks reduces their need to scratch in order to file nails back…may require one person holding while other one clips. Toys toys toys the more the merrier…hope these tips help. We have SO MANY cats & kittens arriving daily that it is hard to keep our Adopt-a-Pet as up to date as we would like. So please, COME TO THE SHELTER and meet some of the wonderful cats that are up for adoption and open up your home to one or more kitties today!

Story
Hello there, I'm Eggo. I'm a little shy at first, but give me some time and I'll be your best friend. I used to be a momma cat, all my kittens have found their forever homes, now it's my turn. I'm as sweet as syrup on a waffle, and as gentle as a summer breeze. I'm a smart girl, I've learned to be independent, but I'm also very loyal. I love a good cuddle, there's nothing like a warm lap to curl up on. I promise, if you give me a chance, I'll be the most loving, loyal, and sweet companion you could ever ask for. Why should you adopt me? Because everyone deserves a friend who will be there through thick and thin, and that's me, Eggo.
