When my person picked me out, he made a promise to me. "Forever." We were going to be a family for the rest of our lives. I was chosen and loved. He named me "Cookie." Sometimes, no matter how much you're loved, things don't turn out the way you expected. For a while, they told me, "Don't worry, Cookie, he'll come back for you soon." And then, they told me, "I'm sorry, Cookie. He isn't going to get better this time. We have to find you another home." Another home? What will that be like? Will it be warm and comfortable
A good dog is like good toilet paper: soft, strong, and always there when you need it! My name is Soma and I tick all those boxes. You can tell how soft I am just by looking at me! Don't worry- it's not just fur-deep. I've got a big ol' soft heart, too! I'm a cuddly, super-loving girl who is instant friends with everyone I meet. I want nothing more than to be close to my human, ideally, at all times. I'm a big dog- 74 lb! I'm not sure what breed mix I am or where this unusual silvery color comes
They say that blue cats are good luck. If you have a blue cat in your life, it's guaranteed to get better. Who is "they?" Don't ask me. But, personally, I believe it! I Give it the Dino seal of veracity. I mean, everyone I encounter seems to instantly become happier and calmer the moment they touch me. That can't be a coincidence, can it? Sure, sure... maybe it's because, as soon as someone comes into my apartment, I come running and try to climb into their arms. If you don't pick me up or sit down to let me
Why am I wearing a chicken on my head? It's because I'm just a little TOO magnificent! I wouldn't want you to be intimidated, you know? And also, I don't want you to look at this noble countenance and think, "Check out all that pomp and circumstance. I bet that guy's too respectable to be any fun." You guys, I'm nothing BUT fun! My name is Splat, by the way. See? Hardly any gravitas at all. With this chicken on my head, you might even say I'm... eggcentric. Anywho, now that I've put you at ease, let me get into the
Whatcha doin'? Can I help? I bet I could contribute in ways you've never even thought of! My name is Beverly, by the way. I'm eight months old. So I'm old enough to be past the "fragile baby" stage, but I'm still a kid! I bet life will be pretty sweet once I'm your cat. I love to play. I love my cat friends. And I especially love my human pals! Right at first, I can be a little shy. There's a lot of activity here and it's sensible to be cautious, right? I mean, I live in a public place. But I'll
Code name: Nala. That's right. I may be disguised as a pink fluffy teddy bear, but I'm a little dog! Did I fool you? That's okay. Don't feel bad if I did. It's not that I'm a master of disguise. It's that I exude "pink fluffy teddy bear" vibes! When people talk about all the things a dog can teach you, I'm the dog they're talking about. The open-heartedness. The resilience. The joie de vivre. The unconditional love. The ability to REALLY enjoy a nap. I've got it all!I'm a 24-lb cuddle buddy- a little round around the middle, like
I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas. I've had enough of the white stuff. It's a different kind of Christmas I'm dreaming of. No, I want a warm Christmas. A Christmas with a soft bed and a full belly and maybe even my own Christmas jammies. See, last Christmas, I didn't have any of those things. I was left tied to the shelter fence on Christmas day. As soon as I saw another human (a customer in the parking lot), I pulled loose and ran straight to him, then followed him to the office. Everyone seemed really concerned, especially because

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
