Story
Little Batida is a happy, playful and smart lady. She loves people but because of her petite size we wouldn’t recommend her for toddlers or small children. Batida is not a purse dog, she wants to run and would like an other dog to play with. Batida was born 01.01.24 and weighs 4.3 lbs. at the moment. She is up to date on her shots and she has a microchip. Batida still needs training (leash and potty) so please only apply if you have the time and patience for a puppy. Her adoption fee is $450. In addition we request a $200 spay deposit that will be refunded in full after proof of spay surgery. We request an adoption application, home check and meet and greet. - we do not transport - we do not adopt out of state

Story
Donovan is a spunky, happy pocket Pittie, (Bull Terrier/Chihuahua mix). He is very active, enjoys playing with his toys and chasing a ball. He likes to explore and run outside in the yard. Donovan loves people and wants to please; he is very affectionate, super smart, cuddly and wants to stay close to his person. He walks well on the leash but still needs some training since he is just so happy that he starts jumping and pulling. He needs an active family for playtime and walks but we wouldn’t recommend him for a family with small children since he is so rambunctious that he just might run them over. Dogs already in the family should be on the bigger size and sturdy. Donovan is about 2 years old; he still needs some training and learning puppy etiquettes. He weighs 21 lbs.; he is neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. We request an application, in person meet and greet, and a home check. Adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis; it is always the best match for the dog. We do not ship out of state; we do not transport. Before you apply please make sure that everyone in your household is in agreement to adopt

Story
Velvet is a very soft, fluffy, sweet, friendly, petite and social girl who loves people and gets along well with other cats! Velvet is one of 10 cats found abandoned in an RV on 8/2/25 and taken to the shelter, where we rescued them from. All of the cats from this group are extremely friendly, biscuit-makers and seemed well-cared for. We don't know why they were abandoned, but it's easy to tell they were loved. Velvet is waiting for her forever home, preferably with another sweet cat.

Story
Hi, I'm Ms. Loretta. I was brought to Stray Cat Alliance with my adorable kittens from a not-so-great situation. My babies found other homes, since they were young and open to meeting all types of people. I'm not very old myself, but I've been around the block enough to not trust everyone. Still, after meeting so many nice volunteers here, I get more comfortable with people every day. I'll always remember my time outside (I have scars on my face to remind me, which the volunteers say are part of my charm)...But I enjoy my life indoors much more. I'd like it even better if I was in a home, where I could continue my confidence journey and blossom into the happiest version of me I can be! Thanks for reading, and for giving me a chance.

Story
My name is Jack and I came from a litter of TEN kittens. I would love to join a family that has another kitty to play with. I'm very friendly and I'll come to you and flop on my side so you can pet me. I love to cuddle, give my cat friends baths, wrestle and play with toys. I'm in a foster home with my siblings and usually fall asleep cuddling them or my foster mom. The way to my heart is with catnip and wet food. I've been waiting a long time for my forever home, please adopt me!

Hey! I'm Johnny Cage! I'm more of a lover than a fighter, but you wouldn't know it if you saw me the day I came into Stray Cat Alliance. My jaw was dislocated! My veterinarian friend helped quite a bit, but I still have a distinctive look to my mouth. Don't worry though - it looks cute and it DEFINITELY doesn't slow down my eating. Eating is one of my favorite things. If you have a snack, I'd love to show you how good of an eater I am. If you're looking for a unique, goofy, handsome guy to dine with, I'm your man!

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Oklahoma! I’m sweet as pie and I have a goofy side too. I may hide from you for the first 1-2 weeks, just to make sure I can trust you! Once I trust you I will rub my face all over you as much as I possibly can. Some of my favorite hobbies are: sitting with you while you go potty, playing with hair ties, hunting for treats, and watching Brad Pitt movies and Phineas and Ferb. I will probably follow you around everywhere you go once I love you. I would be okay on my own (as long as you play with me, wand toys and fake mice are my favorite!), but I would also love a friend to play with! I have some medical problems with my left ear, so make sure to ask me all about that!

Story
Olive is an elegant princess made of butterflies and magic who has swiftly become your closest confidante. With her Audrey Hepburn-like green eyes and dainty white paws, she radiates style, grace, and love. Although she's been known to serve fierce looks to local squirrels, she would never harm a soul. She has soft fur and excellent posture and speaks in tiny chirps and trills. She'll greet you by standing and sweetly requesting cheek rubs. Her delicate purr is so soft it's barely audible, but you can feel it through her cheeks. She's slightly less flirtatious than Oscar, but no less friendly and affectionate. She has a cheeky side and has been known to pull pranks on her brother. Her favorite pastime is sitting at an open window and observing the birds in the garden - she'll run to the window when we open it. She spends her napping hours in the arms of her brother Oscar. Because they were so lovingly raised, these gorgeous, vibrant 11-month old bonded siblings LOVE people and are extremely gregarious and affectionate. Oscar could be certified as a therapy cat. With their sweet faces, captivating green eyes and winning personalities these are two of the best cats we've ever fostered. A mild-mannered pair, they're the perfect mix of charm, sweetness, and curiosity. If you're seeking two low-key, cuddly companions to make your house a home, look no further!
