Rosé – Ready for Adoption!

Ooh! Ooh! Is it Foster Friday? Pick me! I volunteer as tribute! Tell the world I'm here and waiting! Tell 'em my name: Rosé. Don't forget the accent over the E! That's how you know it's pronounced Ro-ZAY. Actually, though, I guess I don't really care how they pronounce it. They can call me whatever they like. Ro-zay or Rosie or Lucretia Dolores Bartholomew XIV... Really, as long as someone is talking to me, I'm happy! Are you going to tell them what a good girl I am? OOh, tell them I'm good with kids! People like that, right? And

Swiss Miss – Ready for Adoption!

I don't know why they named me "Swiss Miss." I'm not from, nor have I ever been to, Switzerland. As for the "Miss" part, yeah, I'll give them that. I'm definitely unmarried. In fact, I sort of fall into the category of... well... let's just say it's going to take a special person to win my heart. To put it bluntly, I don't particularly like people at this juncture in my life. Other cats? Great. No problem. If you've got four legs, digits commonly compared to legumes, and long weird cheek hairs that help with proprioception, we're pretty much automatically

Etana – Ready for Adoption!

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!  But there's a little more to it than that, right?  My name is Etana and I believe in the power of practice, but also... we all know there are some people and dogs who are lucky enough to be born with some natural talent. They just have the right temperament to succeed and they love the thing they're doing. That's what gives someone the potential to really be great.  And that's what I've got. I'm practically overflowing with raw potential!  But it's not a musician or an artist I want to be. I'm not

Snickers – Ready for Adoption!

National Ugly Sweater Day, you say? Now, you can have your opinion and I can have mine, but I feel I should come to the defense of so-called "ugly" outerwear.My name is Snickers and I happen to think that being colorful and intricately patterned is anything but ugly. Striking, maybe. Bold.Don't get me wrong. I love a good party! I'm a real social butterfly and I'll happily take any excuse to hang out with people and make new friends. I'm curious, extroverted, and I love attention. I've got plenty of pals, both human and feline!Now, okay, I am positive for

Felix – Ready for Adoption!

My name is Felix and my favorite thing about the Christmas season isn't the decorations or the gifts or the carols or the food. It's that sometimes, even when you're grown, you can believe that anything is possible at Christmas. Miracles, even.Like... it could be the time of year when, amidst all the people looking for their shiny Christmas puppies and kittens, there might be that one special person who wants something different: the oldest cat in the shelter.Listen, a guy can dream, right? I may be a skinny old man- declawed, pushing 15 years old, and on daily thyroid

Paisley – Ready for Adoption!

It's the season for gift shopping and, listen... can I just say something? I think you deserve to get yourself a gift. Something good. Something REALLY good. Like, oh, I dunno... a kitten? A really cuddly black girl kitten named Paisley? I mean, you can name me (uh... I mean her. Your kitten, yanno) whatever you like once you get her home, but I really kinda think her shelter name ought to be Paisley. Just a feeling I have. See, you've been a good person all year. And, now that you're an adult, you can't depend on any jolly bearded

Bagheera – Ready for Adoption!

Friends. It's Giving Tuesday Eve. What better way to celebrate than by introducing you to my favorite cat in the shelter? This is Bagheera. My love. My girl. My spherical angel. I mean, LOOK AT HER. That face. Those eyes. The little tongue blep. Oh my stars, isn't she the cutest? She's fat. She's middle-aged (9 and a half). She's chatty. And she's absolutely and completely brilliant. Now, if you know me, you know that I like my cats with some spice. All-sugar cats are great and all, but... everyone wants those. They're nowhere near as interesting to hang out
