Gary De’Snake – Ready for Adoption!

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

Edgar – Ready for Adoption!

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

Mylah – Ready for Adoption!

Hi!!!! Hi there!!!! My name is Mylah and my aura word is "unbridled." Unbridled enthusiasm, unbridled joy, and unbridled love! Restraint is not in my vocabulary.  I know dogs don't wear bridles, but also... at 93 lb, I'm practically "small horse" sized! A really cute, super sweet, slightly-fuzzy, totally irresistible big galoot of a dog.  I'm only two and a half years old, so I'm basically a big puppy! My previous family says I was really a good girl, though: housebroken, gentle with little children, and friendly with other dogs and cats. They said I know how to go in

Master Chief – Ready for Adoption!

Imagine you woke up tomorrow and, with no warning at all, you had been dropped into the middle of Shanghai. You don't speak Mandarin or know much at all about Chinese customs, culture, geography, or anything, and practically every single person you encounter has been in China all their lives, so all this seems completely obvious to them. I'm Master Chief and that's essentially what happened to me. I spent the first two years of my life in a hoarding situation and then, eleven months ago, most of my feline family members and I were rounded up and brought here!

Sarabi – Ready for Adoption!

Here's a challenge: find one single thing about me that is not utter perfection. Just call me Sarabi Poppins because, like my homegirl Mary, I'm practically perfect in every way. I'm young (2 years). I'm little. I'm friendly. I purr all the time. My toaster butt game is immaculate. My personality, nonpareil. I'm a biscuit-making virtuoso. I've got the vibes of an exquisite tropical fish, only... not as damp. And you can pet and cuddle me.  I'm pretty new to the shelter and have just been here long enough to get all my vet care done so that I can be ready

Peanut – Ready for Adoption!

RBF or "Resting B*tch Face" is defined as "a facial expression that unintentionally creates the impression that a person is angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous." Famous sufferers include Kristen Stewart, King Louis XIV, and Grumpy Cat. And me: Peanut. A literal angel. An absolute cherub. A precious little jewel... who just happens to, at all times, look like I'm listening to someone tell me why they don't believe women should be allowed to vote.  You may be tempted to tell me I'd be prettier if I smiled more, but I think I'm perfect just the way I am. I'm affectionate, gentle,

Dharma – Ready for Adoption!

Here are some of the reasons Dharma has been turned down in the past week or so. 1. She's too old (5 years old). 2. She's too big (yes, there's no denying she is a rotund lady). 3. She's the wrong color. 4. Her hair isn't long enough. 5. She doesn't really like to be picked up (she loves being in your lap, but wants to be the one to choose). And, of course, everyone has their own preferences and their own reasons and should get the cat who is right for them, but it still hurts my heart a
