One way or another, I'm gonna find you, I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha...And by "you," of course, I mean... you! The person who is going to come to the shelter and take me home. My name is Blondie and I think you and I are going to be great friends. The details about my previous life are sketchy- my human, who cared for me outside, passed away and I was brought to the shelter by a family member. I'm declawed, which is a tough way to be for an outside cat. Which is just one reason that I'm LOVING the
You might initially see me as a cat without hope, a common perception, but my name is Sully, and I'm 8 years old, declawed, and mostly blind, yet undeniably extraordinary. I understand that I don't fit the conventional image of a cat, being one-of-a-kind, but I implore you to take a moment and get to know me better. I'm a sweet, cautious, and curious boy who adores treats and basks in the sun. When I'm comfortable, I'm affectionate and love to be involved. Despite my vision impairment, I navigate, jump, play with toys, and find my food and water with
My name is Angie and I have the same question as a lot of shelter animals: what does "home" really mean? To some people, it's a physical location. A city. A building. It's not always where you live- sometimes, it's where you came from... or where you're headed. Where your heart belongs. Where you feel safe. And for some, it's a person. You could be stranded on a distant moon and, as long as you have them, you're home. And me? I'm still searching for mine. I'm a very affectionate cat. When someone pets me, I just melt into them. I love being held
Am I doing the Macarena? Thriller? Or inviting you to take my paws and we'll do a waltz? My name is Ballet, I'm five months old, and I'm looking for a dance partner. I used to be part of an ensemble- a whole litter of kittens. But my brothers and sisters were all adopted ages ago, so I've been solo for a while. I'm a darling girl, cute as can be, who is right in my "super-fun pre-teen" stage. Give me a toy and you'll really see me boogie! I'm a little hesitant with strangers, but once I get to
I know what you're thinking: "Wow. Has the shelter run out of real cats? This is clearly a picture of a cartoon cat. At best, it's what happens when you feed the phrase 'adorable black cat' into an AI. "Nope! I assure you- I'm completely real. My name is Pudge and not only do I actually exist, but... I'm up for adoption. You could actually have me. Living in your house. Where you could enjoy these little round cheeks every single day. I'm a soft girl in every sense of the word, from my silky fur to my squishy body
My name is Albany and I'm amazing. I'm the sweetest little thing ever. I would be happy as can be if I could just be held all the time. I'll curl up and burrow in and just purr and purr. I love to play, but I'm not a wild party-all-the-time kind of kitten. I'm usually content to quietly explore and take it all in. I love other cats (especially motherly types) and am cautious around dogs, but curious. The thing that makes me a little bit different is, I'm teeny-tiny. At six months old, I'm smaller than kittens half my age. When I
Karie's Shelter diary, Day 400. Dear Diary, That's right- today is my 400th day in the shelter. Should I celebrate? Cry? I don't really know. I've been in my section longer than almost anyone else here. I've seen plenty of cats come and go, but I've always been passed by. I understand- I'm a 3-year-old shy black cat. I don't stand out and, if I don't often walk up to greet people, I'm not likely to get noticed, much less chosen. But I do wish people understood what they're missing. Because I am worth getting to know. It's true that
If I had a million dollars, I would buy us the coziest house ever - a place for just you and me and our family. My name is Polka, so we could call it... Polka's Place? Polka's Palace? Whatever you like. It would be a quiet retreat from the world. That's what I need. Not, like, a silent hermitage... I'm not that delicate. I'm curious and adaptable. I love to play and I love attention from family and strangers alike. I'd be okay with some company here and there. I've got enough of my own opinions to keep things interesting
Hey... do you know where my siblings went? If you find them, could you tell them Jake was looking for them? That's me- Jake! The humans tell me they went to "home." I don't know what that means- I'm only four months old, after all. But they tell me that if I get chosen, I'll get to go to a home of my own! I hope I do. Perhaps with a brand new cat brother or sister? I love to wrestle and snuggle with other cats and would be so happy if I could have a playmate. I even like
Welcome to my humble abode! My name is Vanya, and I'm thrilled to have a visitor. As you can see, I'm still settling in after moving back, but I hope not to stay for long. I must admit; I tend to be a bit of a homebody, but once someone drops by, I can't help but chatter away like a friendly little chicken. You might not have seen me around the neighborhood much, as I prefer keeping to myself until someone comes to see me. But don't let that deter you! I'm here, ready to be a part of your
