Story
Max is a special little guy. He is very energetic. Max plays hard and sometimes gets overenthusiastic. He loves anything he can chase and the track ball. Max is a jumper and will need a cat tree. When Max is tired, he loves to cuddle but remember, he is a kitten. If cuddling is your thing you will have to wait till nighttime to cuddle. He also prefers to eat off paper plates both dry and wet. Max paws his water bowl before drinking so you may want a mat under it. Max NEEDS to be an only animal. Max's adopter will need to understand that Max is very high energy and overstimulated very easily.

Story
Hello there, I'm Fred, your friendly neighborhood cat. I'm as brave as a dinosaur, just ask Wilma, my partner in crime. We ended up here at the shelter after a hilarious misadventure. We thought we'd discovered a portal to the Bedrock era, but it turned out to be the revolving door of a local mall. Security wasn't too thrilled, but hey, we gave the shoppers a good laugh! Now, why should you adopt me? I'm the perfect mix of courageous and cuddly, and I promise to bring laughter and love into your home. Plus, Wilma insists we're a package deal!

Story
Honey and her kitten, Autumn, came from animal control together when Autumn was a small kitten. They had to ride in the same carrier because they kept crying for each other. Even though her baby is reaching teenager now, they are still BFFs and nap, play, and eat together. Honey is more laid back than Autumn but still enjoys playing with wand toys. Honey and Autumn are initially shy around strangers but once their trust is gained they'll warm up. Honey isn't a fan of laps or being picked up but will stand by you for head scratches, and will stand and put her paws on your legs to get at a Churu treat.

Story
Dale and Larry (female) are on the nice list and just want a home together this holiday season. Meet Larry, a kitten with a penchant for mischief and a heart full of love. Her curious nature and smarts once led her to attempt a daring heist of the shelter's tuna stash. Unfortunately, her plan was foiled by a squeaky toy. Larry was mistaken for a boy due to her bravado, but she's all girl! She's the best of friends with Lynda, Dale, and Caesar, forming a quirky quartet that brightens up the shelter. Larry's independent streak makes her a low-maintenance companion, but she's always up for a good cuddle. This clever kitten is looking for a home where she can continue her adventures and maybe, just maybe, finally get her paws on that tuna. Adopt Larry and bring some laughter into your life!

Story
Hi! I'm Karen! Sure, sometimes I complain ... but I've got a big and funny personality when you get to know me! I love to watch the birdies and chipmunks outside the window. I'm so ready to move out of the shelter life and into my forever home. The people who take care of me are great, and I like them — and I like people in general — but I just don't like all these other kitties hanging around. It gets a little overwhelming! I would like to be a single kitty, in a quiet and loving home without younger kids or dogs. (An experienced cat owner would be best!) I'll be your best buddy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Hi! I'm Bubbles! I came from a hoarding situation, and I'm now used to being around kitties all the time. During my time at the shelter, I’ve become best friends with Bangs.

Story
Hi! I'm Caroline! I came from a hoarding situation, and I'm used to being around kitties all the time. It's my comfort zone to have a friend with me, so I need to go home with another kitty — OR — to another kitty (if you already have a buddy for me at home). This will help my transition out of shelter life as I continue to work on trust and letting go of that difficult time in my life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.
