Wily Kat

Wily Kat (from the ThunderCats) is a sweet, lovable, outgoing cat! She was a great mom to her four babies and a great hunter as well. She raised her babies for 5 weeks on nothing but what she caught! While she was great at it, she is ready to retire permanently from the job of Mom and take some much deserved spoiling herself. Her foster mom said she would be great for a family with a young girl who would carry her around and love on her all day. She wants attention more than anything else.

Leo

Leo is a big, friendly fluffball looking for an active family to love him. He loves attention and needs to be next to someone. He enjoys cuddles and pets and his ultimate love - Catnip! Catnip turns this normally laid back guy into a toy destroying fiend (see video). He is a cat that definitely gets the "catnip crazies."

Age: ~1 year
Intake Date: 7/16/2020

Cleopatra

Cleopatra is your typical shy girl who trusts those who are nice to her and show her love. She does take some time to come around, but will never leave you alone after she does. She will throw herself against you to signal that she wants some attention and is sweet to everyone and dislikes no one. She enjoys attention and scratches behind the ear. She passes the time by watching her surroundings, while talking here and there to get our attention. Cleopatra would love a forever home for forever!

Sibyl

Sibyl is a sweet girl looking for a family to love. She is very friendly with very high anxiety, most likely from being here at the shelter. She would prefer a quiet home with no other cats and possibly a calm dog. Sibyl likes to hang out with her people, eat treats and watch out windows. Interacting with people also seems to decrease her anxiety and calm her hyper-vigilance. Please come and meet this sweet cat today!

Melody

Melody is a energetic, go-getter type of kitty. She loves attention and will make sure you give her some! Treats are magic to her and she will do anything to earn a few. In less than five minutes, she learned to sit and look at the camera for her photo shoot! Anybody up to high-fives or kitty agility? She is great about taking treats directly out of your fingers. Melody would love to call your home, her home.

Approximate age: 4 yrs
Intake date: 6/5/2020

Sienna

Sienna is a sweet, petite girl! She is a bit shy, but that doesn't stop her from eating up all the love she can get! She continually makes bread with her paws and rubs her face on your hand if you stop petting her for even a second. In the short time she has been here, she has made tremendous progress. Her last family said that she did great with other cats and hid from large dogs. Come visit her today; she would be glad to make your acquaintance - maybe for a lifetime!

Age: ~2 yrs
Intake: 6/5

Alexandria

Alexandria is a petite girl looking for a family to love. She likes people, toys, petting...and did someone mention treats? If she takes just a minute to warm up to you specifically, don't worry!

She came from a house with another cat, who she got along great with. Come visit her today!

Telsa

Tesla is a great cat with an outgoing attitude toward life. She likes to be queen bee of her hive. This isn't to say she can not get along with other animals - she has before. Slow introductions are key to success with any cat, her especially. She would prefer a home without energetic people or animals, slow and steady is more her style.
Take a nap on the couch, look out the window, cuddle with her favorite person...all things she is great at. Could that person be you?

She loves other cats, either yours at home or her bestie, Douglas. Come visit her today!
