I'm Baton Rouge and I'm looking for love, but I don't mean romance. I mean, I had my kittens, raised them, sent them off to good homes, and now I'm spayed. My romancin' days are behind me (thank goodness.) What I'm looking for is family. Not biological family. Everyone I'm related to is a cat and I'm not a fan of other cats. I prefer humans. I'm looking for the best kind of family: found family. The kind who chooses you and keeps on choosing you. The people here are close to it. I get to hear a lot about
"Small dogs go fast!" "Everyone wants a small dog!" It's true! ... Well, most of the time. Puddle and Legs have been waiting over a year for their home and have had no prospects. One the one hand, there are reasons for that: Puddle and Legs are both 11 years old (so, yes- they're eligible for the Seniors-4-Seniors program!). They're bonded and must stay together. They're not shih tzus or poodles or corgis or dachshunds. They're purebred Little Tan Dogs. And, the biggest thing: they're shy. Like, if you came today and wanted to meet them, they probably wouldn't let you pet
My name is Bellatrix and I'm trying to reach one million people. I need your help to make that happen! Why, you might ask? Because they tell me the person who adopts me will be one in a million. The way I see it, that means there's still a chance! And I intend to take it. The thing is, I've been here longer than almost any other cat in the adoptable adult section. Eight months is a long time, especially for a cat! At three years old, I'm still young, but eight months is a good chunk of my life.
Calling all 24-hour Pawty people! We're building our team for the 2025 Shelter Slumber Pawty! What is it? We're looking for a team of about 15 people to spend one night in the shelter. You can choose a dog or cat to spend the night with or, if you prefer, we can choose for you! There will be games, crafts, food, and lots of animals who would be thrilled to have some company. Each participant will be asked to set up an online fundraiser with a goal of $1,000 to "bail you out". Don't worry- we'll help you get there
I've been called many things: "The perfect cat for a grandma who wants someone to cuddle." "The perfect cat for a kid who wants someone to cuddle." "The perfect cat for someone who gets lonely and wants someone to cuddle." "The perfect cat for someone who has other cats, but wants a cuddler." "The perfect cat for a busy person who comes home at the end of a long day and wants someone to cuddle." You get the idea. Or, sometimes, they just call me by my name: Wilma. I'm fluffy. I'm pretty. I love a lap. I'm the kind of cat
My name is Sous Vide and I'm the head of the Couch Potato Anti-Defamation League. Or, I would be... but it sounds like a lot of effort. I just think lazy people (er... cats) deserve a little credit. I mean, we're not the ones who are out there starting wars, right? No, I'm not pregnant. And no, I'm not old (I'm only two). I'm just a rotund lady who happens to be super chill. I love people, I love attention, I like to play a little when I feel like it, and, of course, I love taking naps. I'm a
My name is Della and nothing can stop me! Okay, yeah, so I might have to have my moment of panic right at first. But give me, like, a second and a half and I'll get over it and explode into joyful wiggles. I'm only six months old, so I'm still finding my place in the world. Pretty much anything worth doing- anything that's big and wonderful, like falling in love with a human or a dog- is scary at first and hard at times, right? I happen to think I'm easy to love, though: super sweet and affectionate, exceedingly
Man-oh-man, I really cannot catch a break! My name is Chelsea. Yep, that Chelsea! If you remember me, you probably know I spent two years waiting for a home the last time I was here. I was adopted, but my person had some life changes, so... here I am again! Ah, well... maybe my road has been bumpier than I would prefer, but sometimes, rough roads lead to the most beautiful places. And I have a feeling that home- for REAL, this time- is just around the corner! After all, I'm a phenomenal dog. I'm the very picture of smart and trainable.
Everyone thinks that people want a cat who is suave and fancy, but I know better. Adorkable is where it's at! As a little round-headed black cat with an overbite (teefs!), a pink necktie, a tendency to drool when happy, and a total inability to play it cool, I say... awkward people unite! My name is Johnny and I'm about as lovable as they come. When you pick me up and hold me, I just curl up against your shoulder like there's nowhere else I'd rather be. Just come in and sit on the floor with me. I'm kind of
