Animal Adoption Center & Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic
Dog Viewing, Adoptions, and Clinic by Appointment
Follow us on Instagram: The Pixie Project is committed to changing the image of a “rescue” or shelter animal. While some animals come to the Pixie Project seeking medical or behavioral attention not accessible in a typical shelter, many Pixie Project “kids” are professionally trai

ned, family friendly pets whose circumstances have left them in need of a new home. With a fully stocked non-profit pet supply store and a knowledgeable and supportive staff trained in the art of “pet matchmaking” adopting a pet through the Pixie Project feels more like a personalized dating service than your mom’s blind date set up. The Pixie Project also serves a unique support function working tirelessly to connect pet owners with the resources they need to keep their pets with them.

Here taking a short visit at our shelter, its the famous Valentino!

Valentino is a handsome 16 year old, male, domestic shorthair, and he is ready to add some style and sophistication to your home. In addition to giving you fashion advice, Valentino would also like to partake in some gentle chin scratches and soft pets. Valentino does have Hyperthyroid and will need to take a small pill twice a day for the rest of his life, but he is a total gentleman and we have had no trouble giving it to him in the form of a pill treat! He is a relaxed older gentleman, who would love to spend his golden years purring in your lap.

We have found Valentino to be a friendly cat with people, as well as polite to other kitties! If you’d like to meet him, please fill out a cat adoption application today--available on our website!

If this kitty doesn’t sound like the perfect match for you, please know that we have many more adoptable kitties that are not on our website but are available at our adoption center - fill out an application to make an appointment! ❤️🐱

Manuka is a beautiful 1 year old female tabby with a heart as sweet as the honey she’s named after. Just like Manuka honey, she’s known for her comforting presence and soothing charm. This affectionate girl absolutely lives for attention—she’ll soak up every pet, scratch, and cuddle you’re willing to give (and then ask for more with a gentle nudge or a loving meow).

Her soft, striped coat and warm eyes make her a true cuddle magnet. Manuka is the kind of cat who will follow you from room to room, not because she’s clingy—but because she genuinely enjoys your company. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or just hanging out, she’ll be right by your side, making everything feel a little more cozy.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a sweet personality and endless love to give, Manuka is your girl. Come meet her—you’ll fall in love instantly.

If this girl sounds like the perfect addition to your home, please fill out a cat adoption application  today! 

If this kitty doesn’t sound like the match for you, please know that we have many more adoptable cats that are not on our website, but are available at our adoption center – fill out an application to meet them all! ❤️🐱

Just as he was named for someone’s favorite actor (Walton Sanders Goggins Jr) – he is also sure to be someone’s favorite cat!

Meet Goggins, a sweet and friendly 2 year old male cat. This handsome guy is a master of affection, and would love a home where he can cuddle and be pet all day every day! He also enjoys being held, really anything involving giving him attention, and he has a delightful, polite meow he will use to ask for said attention.

Goggins has lived with other cats and dogs before, and could probably adjust, though he would likely also be happy as a solo cat. If you are interested in Goggins, please fill out a cat adoption application today! And if this kitty doesn’t sound like the perfect match for you, please know that we have many more adoptable cats that are not on our website, but are available at our adoption center – fill out an application to meet them all! ❤️🐱

Cause you look at um’ and you just wanna huggum!

Huggums is a handsome 7 year old, male, domestic shorthair (with some possible snowshoe breed mixed in). He is a sweet gentleman, with a calm disposition.

Here is what his foster has to say about him: “Huey (his nickname) is SUCH a kind and gentle boy. He loves cuddling on the bed and tucking himself under the covers when you’re not around. He also gets little spurts of energy or zoomies once in a while, and loves playing with his string toy, catnip pickle stuffie, or just your hand under a blanket. Generally though, he has a super calm demeanor and is a low maintenance cat (who loves food ha).”

Huggums has lived with other cats and kids before, and could probably adjust, but his foster says he does not seem to like dogs. We suggest a quieter household to help his personality blossom. If you’re interested in this kitty, please fill out a cat adoption application today! 

Huggums is in foster, but if this kitty doesn’t sound like the perfect match for you, please know that we have many more adoptable cats that are not on our website, but are available at our adoption center – fill out an application to meet them all! ❤️🐱

The world is her oyster, and she’s a shining pearl! Sweet Oyster is here and ready for cuddles… this rare, feline mollusk is already out of her shell! Despite her fancy tuxedo coloring, she isn’t the type to clutch her pearls… She’s more the type to share some pearls of wisdom on the best places to snuggle. 6 months old and just over 8 lbs, Oyster is a remarkable catch of the day!

Oysters aren’t typically as sweet as this little lady, but she’s working on changing that narrative. If you are interested in meeting this majestic, land-bound, jewel of the sea, Oyster will definitely light up your life and surely be a pearly delight! Fill out an adoption application to come and meet this precious gem!

Alert! Pugs is, in fact, all cat and is not a pug or other any dog breed for that matter. She actually has zero affiliation with dogs and prefers the company of humans more than anything else. Pugs is a domestic short hair female about 8 years old. We don’t know a whole lot about the life she led before coming to Pixie but we do know she is the sweetest kitty with one heck of a purr motor. If you’d like to meet her, please fill out a cat adoption application today!

If this kitty doesn’t sound like the perfect match for you, please know that we have many more adoptable cats that are not on our website, but are available at our adoption center – fill out an application to meet them all! ❤️🐱

Up for a nice game of Sudoku? This sweet lady is a 10 month old, female, domestic shorthair. She is a gentle little lady, who likes to trot over for pets and treats when you call her name. She is a polite kitten, who enjoys playing, but is also plenty happy just relaxing by your side.

Sudoku gets along just great with other cats, and we think she would do well with a friendly resident kitty. If you are interested in Sudoku, please fill out a cat adoption application today! She will come to you spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated for an adoption fee of $150.

If this kitty doesn’t sound like the perfect match for you, please know that we have many more adoptable cats that are not on our website but are available at our adoption center – fill out an application to meet them all! ❤️🐱
