Mr. Koopa – Ready for Adoption!

Little Mr. Koopa, at your service! Whatever you're doing, I'm here to help. Cleaning? Paperwork? Performing microsurgery? Negotiating a hostage crisis? I'll be right there to assist. Experienced? Friend, I'm four months old. Experience is relative. On one hand, I've got a lifetime's worth of experience being A Very Helpful Guy. On the other, I only have 16 weeks' worth of experience just existing, so I'm an enthusiastic novice to literally everything! I think part of it is that I've got the heart of a scientist. I follow you around while you mop, both because I want to provide moral

Sissy – Ready for Adoption!

Fauja Singh completed the Toronto Waterfront Marathon at the age of 100. They had to create a whole new age division for track & field athlete Stanislaw Kowalski because he was 105 when he last competed! So don't count me out just yet. My name may be "Sissy," but I'm no shrinking violet.  Yes, I'm 12 years old and about 10 lb with a heavily-sugared muzzle and the snaggliest of snaggleteeth. I'm a little old lady and proud of it! I'm also a terrier to the bone, which means I can still bounce six feet in the air and outrun a

Bitty – Ready for Adoption!

ADDRESSING THE RUMORS... Hi guys, it's me, Bitty, and I just want to talk to you about something that's been on my mind. See, I've had people make assumptions about me that are based on, frankly, hurtful stereotypes, and I want you to know the truth.  First of all, I know calicos often get a reputation for being sassy, spicy, or opinionated. Me? Pure sugar. The very sweetest. Cotton candy and marshmallow fluff. The most opinionated and demanding I get is when I want to be picked up so that I can cuddle on your lap. Once you do pick me

Peepers – Ready for Adoption!

Look, you and I both know adopting me would be a bad idea. No, I hear you- "I'm torn, Peepers. You're just so darn cute." I get it. But do you REALLY want something this cute in your house? What if I outshine your decor? What if I outshine your children? Think about it. Who wants to spend their time playing with cats? Like, sure, you COULD watch me go nuts over a feather... or you could watch a fifth straight episode of 90-Day Fiancee. Just as much drama, less interaction. And isn't it nice coming home and having nobody

Sapphire – Ready for Adoption!

I'm Sapphire and I'm here to tell you all about me! Now, I could pretend that I'm the kind of dog who just loafs around all the time. Shenanigans? Never heard of her. My favorite activity is sitting quietly and being seen, not heard. I could tell you all that, but let's be honest- there's no way you'd believe me. Nor should you. One look at this cheeky smile and you'll know what I'm really about! I'm lively, curious, and tons of fun! I may only be about 30ish pounds, but I'm a force to be reckoned with. I'm smart and

Binx – Ready for Adoption!

Tall, dark, handsome, and best of all- totally available! That's me. Binx. The most eligible cat in town.  Sure, it may be my thick hair and kind eyes that gets you to swipe right on me initially, but I'm more than just a pretty face. When we finally meet, that's when the real magic happens. Sparks will fly, human. Sparks. Will. Fly.  I'm a loving, outgoing guy who gets along well with other cats and has lived with (and loved living with) dogs. I love being held so much that, if I'm being ignored, I'll put my paws up on your leg
