Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Dwayne The Cat Johnson came to the shelter as a stray, but he’s ready to star in his forever home. At roughly 2 years old, this charming boy has a lot to say—and he will say it. Dwayne is very vocal and loves to keep his people informed, whether it’s about an empty food dish, a serious lack of attention, or all the neighborhood “tea” you missed while you were out for the day. This confident conversationalist is playful and energetic, and he’ll need a home stocked with durable, cat-safe toys. Dwayne has a history of trying to snack on things (and toys) he shouldn’t, so supervision and sturdy enrichment are important to keep him happy and safe. With the right setup and a loving environment, Dwayne The Cat Johnson is a truly wonderful boy who will thrive as a devoted, entertaining companion. If you’re looking for a cat with personality, opinions, and plenty of stories to tell, Dwayne is ready to take center stage in your life!

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Pretty Prince truly lives up to his name! This very sweet boy came to the shelter through no fault of his own due to allergies and a move. He was an indoor-only kitty and has experience living with children, making him a wonderful family companion. Pretty Prince doesn’t mind sharing his kingdom—he’s open to making feline and even canine friends with proper introductions. With a little time to settle in, he can blossom into a true social butterfly! Above all, Pretty Prince adores attention. He loves cuddling up on a warm lap, soaking in pets, and being doted on like the royalty he is. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate cat who’s ready to be your loyal companion, Pretty Prince is ready to rule your heart.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $210 - Chaplin has a larger than life personality, and a moustache that wont quit. This handsome man knows he is handsome and would prefer all humans respect him as high royalty. (Just as he sees himself) He is the type of cat that would do wonderfully in a single pet household, without children and someone who understands cat body language and behaviours. Chaplin is not for the faint of heart and doesn`t mind telling it like it is. He will let you know when he has had enough human time and wants to perch on top of his cat tree looking down on all his servants... he means uh, family. Even though Chaplin can sometimes be fussy with what his day to day looks like you can always win him over with a nice yummy treat and a good cheek scratch.

Story
Come meet me at PAW!Adoption fee: $250Meet Ophelia — A Gentle Soul Looking for a Quiet HomeOphelia is a tender, soft-spoken kitty with big, thoughtful eyes and a heart full of love. She’s calm, affectionate, and happiest when lounging in a sunny spot or curled up close to someone she trusts. While Ophelia is a wonderfully easygoing companion, she is sensitive to loud noises, which can make her hide until it`s quiet again. A quieter home where she can feel safe and relaxed will help her shine her brightest. Ophelia would do well as an only cat, she truly enjoys having her humans all to herself. She thrives with gentle attention and a peaceful environment.If you’re looking for a sweet, serene friend to share your quiet moments with, Ophelia may be the perfect match. ---

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Erma Gourd is a cat with a larger-than-life personality and a flair for the dramatic! She came to the shelter as a stray, so her age and past are a bit of a mystery — but one thing is crystal clear: this girl knows exactly what she wants. Erma Gourd is a confident, independent lady who prefers to be the star of the show and the only pet in the household. She’s made it quite clear during her stay at the shelter that sharing her space with other animals is not on her agenda. She’s also best suited for a home without kids, where her boundaries will be respected. With her mix of sass and charm, Erma Gourd will keep you laughing and entertained. She loves attention on her terms and will happily let you know when she’s ready for some “me time.” If you’re looking for a bold, spirited cat with tons of personality and a sprinkle of attitude, Erma Gourd might just be your perfect match.
