Story
Boo is a 2 year old cat that has a lot of love to give. He’s just been to the vet and got the all clear that he’s in perfect health. He’s wary of dogs and does well with cats if they’re male or a dominant female and does well with kids if they don’t climb or pull on him. He’s been an important part of our family but after welcoming our second son into the home it became clear he was stressed out with all the young kids. He does well with both men and women

Story
Lilly is a very pretty kitty, mostly white, calico markings on her tail and a gray spot on her forehead. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. She has lived with kids and dogs, but may not prefer them unless they are very well behaved. She can be picky about her kitty friends, but does seem to enjoy kitty company (not sure if she gets along with males better, or just is not a fan of mean girls.) Affectionate, sweet and low key.

If you don't we may be able to find an adoptable pal to go home together. He's a goofy guy with a funny walk-- possible former injury that doesn't slow Handsome down.

Hi! My name is Peaches. I love playing with my toys, I often take them to my foster Mom. I enjoy Grace, the cat who lives here. We sometimes play together. Playing on the cat tree is one of my favorite places to hang out as I can see outside. I think I would like a home that has another cat or maybe even a dog. I'll be happiest with people who can be patient with me, I am shy at first and need to get to know who I am with. I am so ready and excited to be in my forever home .

Story
Milo was adopted as a kitten in 2019 at the Dumb Friends League. He is 5 years old and has always been a cuddly, playful cat. Milo loves when you throw hair ties and toys, use lasers, and let him sit on your lap. Milo can be a bit aggressive with people and has often hissed and tried to bite people other than his main (female) caregiver. When we brought our baby home, he started getting more aggressive, which is why we have to re-home him. My child has never grabbed him, pulled his fur, or hurt him in any way but is naturally curious about Milo and I have to be right next to them to make sure it is safe, which is not practical. I am now pregnant with another baby and in order to maintain the most safe environment for my children, I unfortunately have to find a new home for Milo. Milo has always been litter trained and does not have any health issues.

Story
Meet Caliente ("Calli"), a 2-year-old gray tabby with unique specks of orange that highlight her beautiful coat. This sweet girl arrived in our care as a dedicated mom to her four kittens. We don't know much about this family's past but they were covered in ticks and Calli was far too skinny, and very protective of her babies. Now that she's healthy and her mothering days are behind her, she deseves to find her forever home.  Calli is a talkative kitty who loves to engage in conversation, especially if it leads to her favorite neck scratches! She’s independent yet affectionate, and she’s ready to live her best life by your side - all she really wants it to cuddle with her people! She's the perfect sidekick for someone who works from home.  Calli is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She is initially nervous around dogs but she'd be okay in a home with one if she's given time and space to warm up to the idea. If you’re looking for a companion with personality and charm, please fill out an application and go meet her at Petsmart Lone Tree!  ##2175933##

Story
Hi there! My name is Baloo, and I’m a 3-month-old bundle of joy with a fluffy tail and eyes full of wonder. I’m the perfect mix of playful and sweet—always ready for a game of chase or pounce, but equally eager for snuggles when playtime’s done. I love to explore every nook and cranny, turning the simplest toy into my new favorite adventure. My gentle purrs fill the room as soon as I'm cradled in loving arms because, deep down, I’m a soft-hearted little guy who thrives on cuddles and affection. Notes from Foster Mom: "Baloo is truly special. His sweet disposition makes him a joy to have around, and his playful antics bring endless smiles. He’s always quick to please and loves being close to people, making him the perfect companion. Whether he’s chasing a feather or curling up on my lap for a nap, Baloo’s warm personality shines through. He will steal your heart in no time."

Story
Duchess' Story: Duchess was dumped when her previous owners discovered she was pregnant. She lived on the streets for 3 years but somehow kept her sweet nature. She delivered that 1st litter two years ago and two more in 2024 (February & August). We were able to trap/rehab the February litter so they could be adopted, and the summer litter was born in-house. Our intent was to keep Duchess and give her a good home. She certainly deserves it. However, as a result of her time on the streets, she does not do well with dogs, and we have two. Duchess has a rear leg that has been broken at some point in her life and it has healed but was never properly set. She has a limp but has adjusted and does well. She is healthy, social and very loving. The last of her babies have been adopted and she just needs a hero with a home where she'll be loved and cared for. Won't you consider being her hero?
