Goldfish

American Shorthair

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

About 3 years ago, this sweet boy showed up on our back porch and never left. When I tell you Goldfish is the sweetest and most loyal cat ive ever met, i mean it. When i work 12 hour shifts, he greets me outside in the morning at the same time everyday, and greets me when I come home (he somehow knows what my car sounds like). It hurts to know that I have to rehome this sweet boy, but Im confident that i’ll find someone who’s able to love and care for him the way he deserves. He’s currently an outdoor cat, who would love to be indoors (we sometimes have trouble putting him back outside). I so badly wish I could keep him, but due to my circumstances, I’d rather rehome him to a place he deserves.

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mochi is a sweet chonk of a girl, mostly white fur with patches of calico coloring. She is a low effort, laid back kitty. She likes to hang out, explore, nap, and cuddle. Good with other cats, adults, teens, and dogs. Has not yet met small children. My family were fostering her for an extended family member, until they could get a better housing situation, but their circumstance has changed and they are unable to take her back. Our family has known her for most of her life, so we're trying to find her a new loving home. Size: 13+ Pounds Health: Our vet gave her a clean bill of health and her vaccines are all up to date. She is good about being picked up, easy to handle, easy to put into carriers. She is overweight, so may need exercise, or scheduled meal times. She will need to go with someone who has patience for transitioning to a new home, as she did get stressed initially by coming to live with us. We are asking for $50 adoption fee to help with vet/vax cost

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tiny was found with his mom and his siblings, but he was 1/2 the size of the rest of the litter and couldn’t suckle. He was also covered in ticks and had an eye infection. He had to be bottle fed every 2 hours, but eventually he got stable and started to thrive. He’s now the life of the party, who loves every animal and stranger he meets. Tiny is a goofy guy who loves to zoom around, cuddle his “little brother” Chili and suckle his own toe beans. He’s never met a toy he doesn’t like and carry his favorite ones around in his mouth.

Story

We are looking for a home for the stray we took in. Vet estimates him to be 10mo-a year old. I want to keep him, however he has displayed some behavioral issues, and while most are manageable and we’ve seen improvement in some behaviors, but there may be one animal too many in the house and he and one of our other cats do not get along. We have 4 cats including him and a dog in the household (as well as 3 adults and a toddler) and the house is just under 1,000sqft. He is now neutered and up to date on shots and was treated for and is better from tapeworm from when we got him - also he has a on and off health issue we took him to the vet for and still are working to diagnose. He can be sweet boy, just has some things to work on and would likely do better in a household with just him or less animals in a bigger space. I love him and want him to have a the best life he can, and here may be stressing him out too much. I want him to have the best life he can, even if it’s not with me.

Story

We adopted Suki from a family 3 weeks after he was born. He is now about 3 years old. We adopted him for my daughter as an emotional support pet. Suki is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He is in need of alot of attention. My daughter is now headed to college and I can longer care for him or give him as much attention as he needs. He is a bit of a scary cat when it comes to dogs and other cats as he has not been around any but one time in his life and he will run and hide until he feels comfortable. But he will play with smaller things like bugs. He loves to chase things and run around the house. We are looking for a caring home to love and care for him.

Story

Dobby is an absolute sweetheart that just wants you to love on him. He is very smart ,playful, and listens really well if spoken to softly but doesn’t like loud noises. He likes other cats but prefers to not be in a crowd. It may take him a little bit to get used to new people but will give you so much love once he warms up. Unfortunately we are moving and can’t bring him with us, I’d love to see him in a good home where he will be happy:)

Story

Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Jim Hopper, Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington, and Billy are brothers and can go home in pairs!These rats came all the way from Ohio, when their mothers were pulled from a very large hoarding case. 300 rats were seized from a single home, and many females were pregnant, leaving the shelter with upwards of 500 rats! These rats are fairly shy. They try to be brave and love baby puffs enough to take them directly from human hands, but they are still trying to learn that the world can be more than loud shelters and long car rides. They are looking for adult-only homes with no children under 16, as they tend to test hands with their teeth. With time and patience, we believe that they will warm up to people, but they will need to go to understanding homes with families who are willing to work with them on trust building to help them feel safe in this big, scary world.
