We have a beautiful shelter. A dedicated, loving staff. We do the absolute best we can. But nothing can change the fact that a shelter is not a home. It can be stressful for a cat to live around so many strangers, noises, smells, and other cats. Even if they don't mind other cats, living with dozens of them all the time is a lot! For some cats, the best thing for them is to be in the shelter where they can meet the public and find a home! But cats who find the shelter extremely stressful often don't behave in ways
They call me Li'l Luna and I've got enthusiasm COMING OUT MY EARS! Which, given the size and volume of these ears, is really saying something. I love the sky. I love the leaves falling all around me. I LOVE other dogs and I LOOOOVEEEEE people. At seven months old, I'm still just a kid. I haven't reached the "play it cool" stage of my life yet, you know? If I like something, I'm gonna let you know. And I like everything. The cracks in the sidewalk are amazing. Is that a worm? Incredible. I would love to have a family-
My name is Delilah and I'm like a geode. Right away, I might seem kind of stony. A bit of a tough exterior. But it's what's inside that really sparkles! It's not til you chip away at the outside a bit that you get to see how special I am. I'm loving and wonderful and polite. Once I get to know you a little, I'll flop over for belly scratches and wrap my paws around your arm to hang on. I'm seven years old, so I know how to behave! I can be trusted to be left home alone, I know the
500 Days in the Shelter- Our Cat Room's Longest Resident Needs a Savior! When gorgeous, outgoing Starlet arrived at the shelter sixteen months ago, none of us could ever have guessed that she'd be the one nobody wanted. She's amazing. She jumps right up to greet people, loves to play, and is interested in checking everything out. She's quiet and undemanding. She's a wonderful, wonderful cat. But Starlet is extremely unhappy in a shelter environment. She is not a fan of other cats. Dogs are fine- she doesn't react to them at all, really. But other cats... nope. Starlet spends
Have you ever had a buddy who is super awkward around people they don't know, but is a total hambone once they get to know you? Or maybe you ARE that friend. My name is Elias and I am totally that friend. I'm that guy who, when someone says to my pals "he's a little shy, isn't he?" they laugh out loud and say "if you only knew!" I'm the kind of dude who will have you going into work every day with stories and photos- "look at the cute thing Elias did today!" Are you a fan of cuddle
I may not look like royalty at first glance. When you see me in my kennel- just one black dog among many- you probably won't even notice me. But make no mistake. I AM a queen. Empress Sapphire of the Seven Seas, if you please. What exactly I'm doing here in Jefferson County is a mystery to me. It's obvious once you get to know me. You'll wonder why you didn't see it before. My excellent manners, my regal demeanor, my proclivity for shaking hands, my benevolence toward children... it's all there. If you've ever read a fairy tale, you know that good
Life is better with a little bit of company, right? But sometimes, you don't necessarily want something as complicated as another human or as demanding as a dog. Sometimes, the perfect companion is a cat. My name is Sconce and I fit that niche PERFECTLY. Do you need someone who can handle herself all day long and then be ready to greet you when you come home from work? That's me! When I I see one of my friends, I'll give a happy little meow and pop out of my hidey-hole for a snuggle session. I'll purr and make biscuits and
Hey there, I'm Jax, and I'm here to share my story with you. They say I'm pure sunshine, and I can't wait to brighten your world. You see, I've got a knack for turning even the most dedicated curmudgeons into giggling kids. It all starts with my magnificent ears and this wildly wagging tail. Just one look, and you'll find yourself grinning from ear to ear. But it gets even better when I start showing off my bag of tricks. I can sit, shake, high five, lie down, and even roll over with a little encouragement. The best part is,
My name is Tree Star and I'm here to teach you about The Power of Love I'm an expert, you know. Like, other cats? I LOVE them. In fact, I'd say I need a home with a friendly cat who will let me cuddle and play with them. I have sisters and brothers here whom I love, so if you don't already have a cat... no worries! You can just take two of us! And humans? Oh my gosh. Humans are amazing. They have these wonderful soft hands that they use for operating cat toys (magnificent!) or for cheek scratches
