Another gorgeous black beauty, Dipper has really come out of his shell recently!

Initially shy and scared, 4-year-old Dipper has become a curious and confident cat! And, how can a cat not be confident when he is just such a handsome long haired black floof?!

Dipper would do best in a home with adults or older children. He does have a heart condition that will need lifelong monitoring by a cardiologist and a regular vet, but he does not take medications nor does he have any restrictions-- just something to keep an eye on. But, it's all part of what makes Dipper Dipper — beautiful, sweet, and a little extra special.

Mystical Nox casting spells on his foster mom into giving him rubs and attention at his every whim! Just look at the way he moves those paws--you can tell he's quite the expert!

Nox is a 9-year-old black cat described as lively, intelligent, and "the perfect gentleman." He has done and will do best in a house with adults (and not young children).

Black cats are a true treat and this one is no exception!

America's Next Top Meowdel KHLOE is getting settled in her new home!

We've already received a sweet update: "She’s now asleep next to me on the new sofa in the living room. She purrs sometimes, meows loudly to get her way, mostly to be allowed to explore the next room. In three hours she already has the run of the whole place."

Wishing you many happy days ahead, Khloe!

If you haven't heard, shelters in Montgomery County & beyond are overwhelmed with the number of dogs being given up, big and small :( Often, owners just need support/financial help to keep their pets. Our Chompers pet food bank is for both dogs & cats and helps financially-qualified Montgomery County residents keep their pets. We're looking for WET & DRY DOG & CAT food for our distribution next Sunday, 7/13! We recently updated our Amazon wishlist which is the easiest way to give: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2SGXVXSMY0GPX/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

Another kitty being fostered, Fonzie is a 4-year-old tabby who really resembles a bengal! And perhaps, like his hybrid cousin, Fonzie also likes to walk a bit on the wild side!

Fonzie would do best with owners (or handlers, as you can never truly own a cat!) who have experience in dealing with semi-feral cats. Perhaps a place that has access to outdoor space would be a great fit for him! His foster feels that he is too tame to be a feral cat, but definitely needs his space.

If you're someone who has experience with semi-feral cats and lets their cats outdoors and do their thing, then you might be an ideal "handler" for this beautiful boy.

Unbothered. Fed. Happy. In my lane... I am definitely flourishing at my foster mom's home, but am still waiting on my forever home!

Bam Bam is a 5-year-old domestic short hair/tabby who gets along with cats and small dogs and can hang with older children (preferably over 10). Although you'd never notice from his photos, he is a little anxious, but that is being managed by his once per day "zen" pill that he is not fussy about taking.

I know you're wondering...now that our resident orange cutie Sebastian has been adopted, are there any orange boys left in the shelter? Well you're in luck because orange tabby Juno is the new cool cat on the block!
