🐾 Meet Yoke & Towns! 🐾

These adorable black-and-white sisters are 2½ years old and recently arrived at our shelter when their previous home had more cats than they could care for.

Towns can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a little time and you'll discover a sweet, playful girl who loves having fun. Yoke is the more dependent sister and takes comfort in having Towns by her side, which is why we'd love to see these girls find a home together.

Both are cat-friendly, beautiful, and ready for a fresh start with a family of their own. Could you be the one to give this bonded pair the happy ending they deserve? ❤️🐱🐱

Come meet Yoke and Towns during adoption hours!

A little throwback and happy update on Gipetto! ❤️

This handsome Siamese boy was adopted from us back in 2018, and just look at him now! Living the good life, soaking up the love, and as handsome as ever. Updates like these never get old and remind us why we do what we do.

Thank you to his wonderful mom for sharing these photos and giving Gipetto the happy life he deserves! 🐾

"Hey!
Little update from Gipetto, my siamese baby. His gotcha day was 7/31/18, that day is my favorite day not because its my sisters bday haha (I got the best gift of all), but my life only got better every day Gipetto is in it.
Hes doing exceptionally well! Hes seriously the sweetest cat ever such an lover boy! I never knew a cat that loves belly rubs like he does, aslong as hes being pet hes a happy purr
machine. He has a sister now Chantel, they argue like siblings but the love is there, heres some updated pics over the years! Starting with his gotcha day!" - Melissa

Teddy has officially taken over front desk duties! 💼🐾

This handsome guy was hard at work today greeting visitors, supervising staff, and making sure everyone stopped for a pet or two. We'd say his performance review is outstanding. 😄

In all seriousness, Teddy is one of the sweetest, calmest dogs you'll ever meet. He loves being around people and is always happy to soak up attention. After losing his home, he's patiently waiting for a fresh start and a family to call his own.

He's got the looks, the personality, and now the office experience. All he needs is a home. ❤️

One year ago, Irene left the shelter and began her happily-ever-after. Today, she's known as Lilly! ❤️

This beautiful girl, who came to us from an overcrowded shelter and won hearts with her playful personality, adorable chirps, and love of cuddles, is now living her best life.

Lilly is happy, cherished, and surrounded by love in her forever home. Updates like this remind us why adoption is so special and why every cat deserves a chance.

Thank you to her wonderful mom for giving Lilly the life she always deserved. Happy Gotcha-versary, sweet girl! 🐾💕

"Hi JSAC....hope all is well at the shelter. Can't believe Lilly will be here a year on 6/6. Lilly is great!! She loves to look out the window in her window seat..loves napping in our back room where she can see lots of birds...and turkeys..lol. I didn't know how much she likes water...unreal. Mostly she likes sitting on my lap and being petted. I love my girl. Bless the Shelter staff for all they do and care for the animals." - Ginny
