Iceberg ➜ now Sherlock 🐾

We love a good glow-up story—and Sherlock has absolutely settled in like he’s always been part of his new family.

And in these photos, you’ll also see Zelda, formerly “Lilo,” adopted 5/12 last year. It’s always so special to see PALS alumni thriving together in the same home.

We especially love when more than one PALS cat finds their way into the same family—it’s such a gift to see them continue their journey side by side. 🐱💛

Shelter air quality directly impacts disease spread, recovery time, and staff safety.

Better ventilation = healthier cats + safer shelter.

We are working to building that system now.

Sugarsnap

1 year old spayed female

Sugar is quite the character! She loves getting attention and has previously gotten along well with respectful children! She is a little stressed here at the shelter but once she's had time to decompress she will likely get along well in most homes. With proper introduction and time she will get along fine with another cat savvy cat friend! Give the shelter a call if you'd like to meet Sugarsnap!

Adoption fee: $150
