Meet Sphynx

Name: Sphynx
Age: About 1½ years old
Weight: 8 lbs
Occupation: Retired street cat, current professional cuddle enthusiast

About Me:
I've officially decided that street life is overrated.

The food service was inconsistent, the accommodations were questionable, and frankly, nobody was giving me the attention I deserve.

I'm a beautiful torbie with big eyes, a sweet personality, and a firm belief that couches are superior to sidewalks.

What I'm Looking For:
A forever home where my days of worrying about where I'll sleep are over forever.

Ideal First Date:
You open a can of food. I pretend I'm not impressed. Five minutes later we're best friends.

Sphynx is a sweet 1½-year-old torbie who came to us as a stray and is ready to leave her street-cat era behind for good. She's affectionate, likes most other cats, loves people, and is more than ready for a family of her own.

Come meet this beautiful girl and help her write a much happier next chapter. 🩷

All of our cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and go home with a goody bag from Hill’s Pet Nutrition.

Bonus - get a cat and get dinner from Filippo's Pizza. Free pizza with your adoption!

Come by and meet her or apply on our website.

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED ON SCARLET.

Scarlet is so cute; it is impossible to pick one photo!

Name: Scarlett
Age: 5
Weight: 13 lbs
Occupation: Professional cuddler and part-time shadow
Adoption Fee: $200

About Me:
I was found as an unclaimed stray, which is honestly shocking because have you seen me? I look like I should be carried around in a designer purse while receiving compliments.

I'm a tiny fluffy girl with a big heart and absolutely zero drama. I love dogs. I love cats. I love people. If you are breathing and reasonably friendly, we're probably already best friends.

My Interests:

❤️ Snuggling
❤️ Walks
❤️ Following you from room to room for absolutely no reason
❤️ Looking adorable 24/7
❤️ Convincing you that your lap is actually my lap

What I'm Looking For:
A forever family who understands that beauty is a commitment. My gorgeous fluffy coat will require regular grooming for life. Good hair doesn't happen by accident, people.

Fun Fact:
Despite being abandoned, I still think humans are the greatest thing ever. Some might call that optimism. I call it giving you a second chance.

Scarlett is a 13-pound mixed breed sweetheart who is ready to trade shelter life for couch life. She's great with dogs, cats, kids, adults, neighbors, delivery drivers, and probably anyone else she meets.

Come meet this fluffy little ray of sunshine before someone else scoops her up. ❤️

All dog adoptions include:

✅ Vaccinations, microchip, and neuter
✅ One FREE private training session with TM Canine Services
✅ Unlimited group training classes with TM Canine Services
✅ FREE intro run with Run-N-Paw

A lifetime of love ❤️🖤

Meet Miso

Some dogs end up at the shelter because life happens.

Miso ended up here because apparently he thought he was training for a cross-country walking tour.

This handsome mixed-breed guy spent plenty of time out wandering the neighborhood before Animal Control finally convinced him that room service, regular meals, and air conditioning were actually pretty great perks.

At almost 5 years old and 73 pounds, Miso is the total package. He’s housetrained, knows his basic commands, loves kids, gets along with other dogs, and wakes up every day like he just won the lottery. Seriously, nobody is this happy before coffee.

Miso is currently polishing his skills in training and is eager to learn. He’s energetic enough for adventures but mature enough to leave the puppy chaos behind. Humanity should really take notes from dogs on that one.

If you’re looking for a best friend who greets every day with enthusiasm and every person like they’re his favorite person, Miso is waiting to meet you.

📍 Edgewater Animal Shelter-apply online or stop by for a visit.

Meet our staff favorite, Batman. He is 7 years old and has the sweetest disposition. He can be a little shy when he’s not fighting crime and would love a quiet home. He gets along great with other cats! He was surrendered by his owner, who could no longer care for him.

All of our cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and go home with a goody bag sponsored by Hill’s Pet Nutrition

Batman is a Silver Paws 🩶cat, and his adoption is sponsored; all normal adoption procedures apply. Applications are on our website!
