Story
Meet BubblyBubbly's mantra is "NEW YEAR, NEW YOU"This beautiful tuxedo man isn't living his authentic, best self yet...BUT 2025 is going to be all about the love for this man! Bubbly came into the SPCA living a bit rough. He has his toe beans crossed for a new warm home with people who understand his fear and are ready to help him trust again. Bubbly is pretty overwhelmed at the shelter- and who can blame him? He currently is not a cat that would not do well in the public viewing areas (as such we ask that you talk to staff and put in an application if you are considering adopting this gentleman). He likes his wet food at the shelter and is hopeful his new home will bribe him with all the treats! Bubbly is looking for a home that understands that this man's loving will take some patience and lots of kindness! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 4.23 Age: 3yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Meet Mimosa! Or as her foster family nick named her Mimo. Mimo was found at a local nursery along side her two siblings. Mimo and her siblings were placed in a foster home for socialization. Mimo is independent and doesn't seek out attention. She is able to co-exist with people and other cats but doesn't need that social interaction other cats desire. Mimo would do well in a home where she can live freely without any pressure of being a lap cat. In her foster home, she did begin to relax and was happy. She would do better being adopted with one of her siblings or into a home with another cat. It may take time again in a new home to feel comfortable but she still desires a chance at a safe forever home!Please follow these steps if interested in adoption!1.
