Meet Red Queen—full of personality and fiercely loyal. I love dogs, playtime, and headbutting for affection. But I need a solo home; other cats stress me out. The shelter life isn't for me, and it shows. Ready for a cat with spunk who matches your vibe? I'm here, waiting!
In reality, I live in an overwhelmingly purple room in good ol' Jefferson County, Missourah. But in my soul, I'm quite sure I'd be better suited to the romantic desolation of the English Moors. My name is Misselthwaite. It's the house from The Secret Garden. And, like so many Frances Hodgson Burnett characters, I'm also a bit of a tragic orphan with a heart of gold. I'm the last of my litter to be adopted. At five months old, I'm still just a kid, but I'm not itty-bitty anymore. I'm blind in one eye and I have a permanent head
My name is Jersey and they tell me I'm technically a grown-up cat. I'm a year old, so that makes me an adult. But I disagree. I am 100% a baby and I'm pretty sure I always will be. First of all, I love to be held and carried. You could carry me around all day and night and I'd be happy as a lark! I just chill out in your arms. I know that's where I belong.

What should I be for Halloween? Draw a widow's peak on me and I'm Mickey Mouse! Add some spots around my eyes and I'm a panda. Or you could just leave me as I am now and I'm a prince. An angel. A superhero. Just me: Starsky! This year, though, I don't really want to go alone. I'm not an "alone" kinda guy. I love humans A LOT! I like to dance with them, go for walks with them, play with them, cuddle in their laps, learn tricks from them, and see them smile. I love belly rubs and just being
My name is Hambone and if that's the only thing you knew about me, you'd already have a pretty good picture of who I am! I'm a total goofball of a dog. A silly, happy, friendly, loves-everyone goober of a dog. The class-clown-with-a-heart-of-gold of dog school. Let's get the stuff you really want to know out of the way first: I'm about three years old. I'm good with other dogs. I'm a tolerant playmate, even for dogs who want to play rough. I haven't met cats or children (at least, not since coming to the shelter as a stray), but
