Lee-O, Lee-O, Lee-O - chant it with us but softly!
Leo is sweet and affectionate but also a little anxious. He loves walks followed by lounging on a comfy bed (he is 8 after all)!
Leo would do best in a calm, low energy home with someone who will give him the love and patience he deserves.
Will you give this older boy love and a new home?? 💛🏠

Meet Scarlett ❤️

This 2‑year‑old mixed‑breed dog can be a little nervous with new people, but once she feels safe, she becomes playful and affectionate! She has played successfully with other dogs and shows a friendly, social side when she’s comfortable. Her confidence grows with calm handling and predictable routines.

She is very playful with cats and has not met young children, so slow introductions are recommended. If you’re looking for a dog who will bond closely once trust is built, she’s a great match for a patient, steady home ready to help her settle in!

Update: Shredded Wheat is adoption pending!!

Looking for foster/foster-to-adopt home for this silly lovebug, Shredded Wheat! 💖

Shredded Wheat is one of the handsome "Spirit Cats" from a recent hoarding case. While he's undeniably adorable and has gorgeous markings, he'll be the first to tell you that he's not exactly photogenic. In true derpy-cat fashion, he somehow manages to look a little goofy in just about every picture. We like to think that only makes him more lovable! 🤭

He can be a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he's incredibly affectionate and loves attention! Right now, he's living in our large community cat room with about 20 other cats, and all the activity seems to be a bit overwhelming for him. He's been having some challenges with marking his space, which isn't uncommon for cats in stressful or crowded environments. Especially one who has had limited resources his whole life.

We're hoping to find a foster or foster-to-adopt home where Shredded Wheat can enjoy a quieter setting and have the opportunity to relax, decompress, and show us who he really is. All supplies and behavior support will be provided every step of the way!

Cats like Shredded Wheat are often overlooked, but beneath the goofy expressions and quirky habits is a truly wonderful cat who deserves a chance to feel safe, loved, and understood ❤️ If you'd like to learn more or meet Shredded Wheat, please reach out to Cathy at [email protected]

Mumm-ra is really in the pride spirit 🌈

This young, energetic, and friendly lionhead is named after the antagonist of the Thundercats! Don't let his name fool you, this little dude is all fluff, all play, all friendliness, but with a side of playful mischievousness.

Mumm-ra would do best in a home that is ready for the go, go, go action of an energetic rabbit. He will require a lot of enrichment and a lot of opportunities to run around and play. He has been known to hop out of his enclosure, so taller walls are a must. He would be great with any age! Submit an application for him at https://www.rispca.org/adoptable-small-animals 🐾

Meet Melody! 🎵

Melody is a gentle, bright‑spirited girl whose name suits her perfectly; she brings a soft, calming rhythm to any room she enters. She’s lived with other dogs and does well when they respect her boundaries! Melody hasn’t lived with cats or kids before, so a home that can introduce new experiences slowly and thoughtfully will help her feel secure. What she loves most is simply being near her people, soaking up affection, and settling into the quiet harmony of shared companionship 🥰

Her presence has a soothing, steady quality, like a familiar tune that makes everything feel a little more peaceful. Melody enjoys walks and a calm environment where she can relax and feel safe. Her soft nature shines brightest with patient humans who appreciate a dog who moves through life with quiet grace. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings a comforting presence to your days, Melody is ready to become the sweetest ballad of your home’s soundtrack! Submit an application for her at https://www.rispca.org/adoptable-dogs 🐾
