Just call me "Arlo, the eternal optimist" because I'm pretty sure things are going to work out for the best. Like, right now, if you're looking for a cat, I bet you want one who loves to be held and loves being in your lap. I bet that, if you were to go to Build-a-Cat Workshop and create your ideal feline friend, they would be outgoing, fearless, adorably chunky, and good with other cats and dogs. He'd be mellow-but-playful. He might even have cow spots, a cute little receding hairline, and round, yellow-green eyes. He'd be the perfect age: four
Wowee! That Dan! Whatta guy! Whatta good boy! Whatta star! That's what everyone says when they see me. And you know what? They're absolutely right. I am all those things. I have so much charisma that even the fleas won't bite me. They're like "You know what, buddy? Have a good day. Let's meet up for a bowl of tap water sometime," and they move along. I'm pretty sure that's how it works, anyway. The Nexguard I get every month is beside the point. Anyway, my point is... I'm a pretty cool guy. I love stopping mid-walk for a belly rub. My
No, no... I can see where you might be confused. But let me clear it up: Catdog is my NAME, not my species. I'm actually 100% feline, from head to tail. How do I know I'm a cat? Well, if you're working on the computer and in the middle of something fiddly, I can detect it and am suddenly struck with the irresistible urge to jump in your lap and demand your full and immediate attention, so that's a pretty good indicator. I have a sweet little meow and I love to chase feathers. Oh, and I had kittens. I

Something special is about to happen for me, but I don't quite know what to expect! My name is Lady Tremaine and, in one week and six days, I will have my very first BIRTHDAY! That's right: it's the day when I get to have balloons and candles and... get superpowers? Find out what faction of society I'll be sorted into? Have my name entered into a drawing to represent my district in a televised gladiatorial battle? I mean, this is my first time. I'm not clear on the details of what actually happens on my birthday. Oooh! I do remember one
People keep saying things to me like, "Poor Guava! Still here after all this time!" or "I can't believe little Guava hasn't found a home yet!" I don't get it, though. I'm a happy little boy! I'm eight months old and have been here since I was just a little fella, so the shelter is the best life I've ever known. People think it's sad that I don't have a home, but I don't even know what a home IS! It must be wonderful, though. So that just means that life is going to get even BETTER. What do I hope
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. I mean, if you did, it would be so sad for the both of us! You would miss out on getting to know an amazing, sweet cat, and I would never get the chance to get to know what could become my favorite human! My name is Lilith and I'm perfect for you: mellow, sweet, cat-friendly (after a little getting-to-know-you time), and outgoing. A marvelous companion for almost any household. I can be a little aloof at times, of course. Being here and meeting strangers is a little like being approached by random people when you're
WHOOOOOO'S A GOOD HUMAN?! You are! Oh yes you are a good human! Come over here and see your best friend, Gary De'Snake! That's me! I assume we're best friends, anyway. I'm best friends with everyone. And you seem like just the sort of person I like most! I'm six months old and I've been here in the shelter since I was just a wee little guy, so I've made LOTS of friends. I love humans of all shapes and sizes and I'm good with dogs, so friends are all around me! I mean, like most adolescents, I sometimes forget
Sometimes, when you're nothing short of brilliant, the world doesn't really know how to deal with you. I'm Butterscotch, a child prodigy, and I'm looking for someone who can help me shine! I just turned seven months old and I'm growing like a weed! I'm already about 45 lb and all legs. I'm smart and fun and sweet and full of energy. I'll be honest- I have a reputation for being a bit of a wild child. But I hope you won't stop reading there and give up on me. Yes, I'm an active girl! I'm a puppy, after all, and probably
If being slightly obsessed with Edgar is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Edgar is sweet. He's inquisitive. He's a little ridiculous. He's only a year old. And he's absolutely stupid levels of cute. Honestly? I'm almost disappointed that Edgar has made so much progress in the shelter because I kind of wanted to take him home to foster and he doesn't actually need that now. When he came to the shelter a few weeks ago, he was a shy guy who didn't want anyone to touch him. Well, I mean- shy, but also brave. Even though he didn't want to
