Introducing Thelonius! Thelonius is an eight-year-old gentleman looking for a loving home to spend his golden years. Sadly, his owner was placed in assisted living, leaving Thelonius with nowhere to go. Now, he's hoping someone will look past his age and see the wonderful companion he still has to offer. This sweet senior deserves a comfortable place to call home and a family to love him for the rest of his days.

Thelonius is a mellow guy who enjoys the simple pleasures in life: napping, lounging, and keeping a watchful eye on everything happening around him. He's happy to take things slow and soak up the peaceful moments. He also does well with other cats, making him a lovely addition to a feline-friendly home. When you stop by to visit, Thelonius may greet you with a soft little "meow" before inviting you to scratch his head.

Thelonius isn't asking for much, just a cozy place to retire, a few good head scratches, and someone willing to give a senior kitty a chance. His adoption fee is $30, and includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, and current on flea preventive. He is already fixed.

ADOPTED!!

Meet Itsy! Itsy is a thirteen-year-old senior kitty who found herself in need of a new home after her owner was placed in assisted living. With nowhere else to go, Itsy came to our shelter, where she has been patiently waiting for her next chapter to begin. Now, this sweet senior is ready to find a loving home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by comfort and care.

The previous owners told us she was thirteen and we were surprised! We thought she appeared to be 6-8 years old but owners stated otherwise. Itsy is a quiet girl who appreciates the finer things in life: cozy naps, lounging in a comfy spot, and never missing a meal! She's a little shy in her kennel, and we suspect she's still adjusting to all the changes in her world. Itsy will need a calm, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace and feel safe again. Once she's comfortable, she enjoys being petted and would love nothing more than to curl up in your lap for some quality cuddle time. She also does well with other cats!

Itsy has earned her retirement and is ready to enjoy the peaceful life she deserves. Her adoption fee is $30, and includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, and current on flea preventive.She is already fixed and is also four paw declawed.

Meet Golem! Golem is a seven-and-a-half-month-old kitty with the most adorable features, from his bright green eyes to his precious little pout. This bashful boy has a sweet demeanor that will melt your heart, and he's hoping to find a family willing to give him the time and patience he needs to come out of his shell.

Golem loves the company of other cats and would love to have a feline friend waiting for him in his new home. He's also a big fan of wet food, and when snack time rolls around, don't be surprised if you find him circling your feet to make sure you haven't forgotten about him! The way to Golem's heart may just be through his tummy. His adoption fee is $80, and includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed.

Meet Ruthie, a playful five-month-old tabby ready to bounce her way out of the shelter and into a forever home!

Ruthie came to us as a sick stray and spent some time recovering in our isolation room. With plenty of care from our staff and a course of antibiotics, this sweet girl made a wonderful recovery and is now ready to start her next chapter!

Ruthie absolutely loves other cats and is always up for a good play session. Whether she's wrestling with her feline friends or zooming around in an exciting game of tag, she knows how to have a good time! But Ruthie isn't all playtime; she also loves being held and spending time with our wonderful volunteers. She's happy to soak up all the love and attention she can get!

Ruthie is a sweet, playful, and affectionate girl who has so much love to give. She's ready to leave her shelter days behind and find a family to call her own. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.

ADOPTED!!!

Introducing Swamp, a bashful ten-week-old kitten looking for a family to call his own! Swamp came to us as a surrender alongside his littermates and is now ready to find a home of his own.

Swamp is a shy little guy who enjoys the company of other cats and would love to have a feline friend at home to keep him company. He may need a little time and reassurance to come out of his shell, but once he feels comfortable, a few extra pets are all it takes for him to relax and melt right into your arms.

When he's not busy soaking up affection, Swamp loves chasing wand toys and discovering all the fun that kittenhood has to offer. Want to win this boy's heart? Wet food is definitely the way to his heart! With a little patience, some extra love, and a tasty snack or two, Swamp is sure to become your very best friend! His adoption fee is $120, and includes his age appropiate vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed.

ADOPTED!!

Introducing Paris, a two-year-old kitty looking for a place to call home!

Paris came to us as a local stray, and we can't help but wonder how this sweet girl ended up out on her own. Front-paw declawed and weighing nearly eleven pounds, Paris was left especially vulnerable while navigating life outdoors. Whether she became lost or was abandoned, we'll never know, but we're certainly glad someone brought her to safety!

Unfortunately, Paris had no microchip or identification to help us track down her family, and no one came forward to claim her. Now, she's ready for a fresh start and a family who will keep her safe and loved indoors.

Paris is a mellow girl who enjoys gentle pets and being swooned over. She's happy to soak up some affection without needing to be the center of attention every second. She doesn't mind sharing her space with other cats, but she's more of an independent lady who enjoys doing her own thing.

Paris has been through enough adventures on her own, and now it's time for her to find a cozy home where she can relax, feel safe, and be loved for the rest of her days. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.

Meet Carmine! This beautiful two-year-old dilute calico is looking for a second chance at forever. Carmine was adopted as a kitten, but sadly, she recently found herself back with us after being left behind by her original adopter. Understandably, she was a little distraught by the sudden change at first, but she settled in fairly quickly and is ready to find a family who will love her for life.

Carmine is a pleasantly plump girl who appreciates the slower things in life. You'll often find her lounging about, enjoying a cozy spot, or simply taking in the world around her. She's a laid-back lady who knows how to appreciate a good nap!

Carmine also does well with other cats and wouldn't mind having a feline friend to keep her company in her new home. When it comes to people, she's all about soaking up the love! Gentle pets, kind words, and sweet little compliments are the way to her heart. Go ahead and tell her how beautiful she is — she deserves to hear it!

If you're looking for a mellow, affectionate companion with gorgeous calico coloring and plenty of love to give, Carmine might be your girl. She's ready to leave her past behind and settle into a home where she'll always be cherished. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, and current on flea preventive. She is already fixed.

Meet Camilo! Camilo is a three-year-old cat who was found by a kind local resident wandering around the neighborhood. Thankfully, Camilo had a microchip, so we began the search for his family. Unfortunately, despite multiple phone calls and a mailed notice, we were unable to reach his owners. Now, Camilo is ready for a fresh start and a family of his own!

Camilo is a laid-back guy who enjoys taking life at his own pace. You'll often find him lounging in his kennel or seeking out a soft, cozy spot to nap during free-play time. He's perfectly content doing his own thing and doesn't mind sharing his space with other cats. Camilo is an independent dude who appreciates the simple things in life, like a comfy place to snooze and a little peace and quiet. His adoption fee is $80, and includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed.
