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
"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.

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
