Avery is a bashful boy that needs a soul mate that will bring out the best in him. He wants to be a loverboy but he is afraid that he won't be accepted. Rejection keeps him from being more outgoing. His best pal has already been adopted so now he must cope on his now. Please consider Avery as a feline companion. This buff boy is 7 months old.

🌻 You Are My Sunshine, Griffin 🌻"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."

For the last 1.5 years, Griffin has been waiting for someone to make that song come true. This sweet 8-year-old senior may have a little arthritis, but he hasn't lost his smile or his ability to chase squirrels! Griffin is looking for a soft bed and a family to love during his golden years. He doesn't need much—just a place to call home and someone to remind him every day that he's loved.

While younger dogs get noticed, Griffin keeps patiently waiting for his turn. We think it's long overdue. Griffin would do good in a home with no cats as he still has a prey drive for small creatures. He has done OK with bigger dogs his size but he is selective and might be best with no other dogs as well. He can still go on walks and is a strong puller but their are products out there to assist with this.

Be Griffin's sunshine. After 1.5 years in the shelter, this sunflower boy deserves to bloom in a home of his own. 🌻💛🐾

Chex may be a little goofy… But that’s what makes him so unique! He LOVES wet food (and gets hangry without it…!!) Upon first meeting Chex, he may seem a little crazy. His meow is very distinct and his somewhat “hyper” behavior may seem intimidating. But once he warms up to you (and you give him wet food, of course!) he is a total love bug! He really enjoys cuddling in the lap’s of those he chooses “worthy” of his presence! All this boy needs is a calm, loving home and someone who loves him for all of his little quirks. He would do best in a home without cats, as he enjoys being the center of your world! :-)

Hi, my name is Ginger. While I may take longer to trust than some cats, I still want a family of my own. I have been at the shelter with my brother and sister for over 175 days now and am finally starting to warm up. I would love to find a family that loves me for who I am and gives me the time I need for my personality to blossom. I am around 1 year old and get along great with other cats.
