The ARK has quite a few tabby kittens, but Patches has a different look. Hmm? What is it? It’s the white eyeliner. He is handsome and friendly and has a slightly different look than most of the tabbies at the shelter. You can find him with a room full of other kittens in Daisy’s Room at The ARK.

Cleo (DOB 5/14/24) is a female tortie in Molly's Room. A better name would be Coppertone because her copper color becomes so vibrant when the sun shines on her beautiful coat. She has a rattlesnake tail with one black dot, and she has one peach toe. So many distinguishing qualities to compliment her welcoming personality.

King is all play and action. He is young- born 11/3/24. You can teach him and mold him into the great little companion that you want him to be.

He came from a home where his owner ran into medical issues and was unable to keep him any longer. He is a boxer mix with the cutest wagging, bobbed tail.

✅Good with dogs

Baby Girl 2 is easy on the eyes and a gentle personality. She has a smooth, silky coat. At the young age of one, puppiness has expired, and you can get to business to mold her into a perfect companion. Smart and eager to please 🥰
