Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Ginger!

Hi! I'm Ginger! I am a happy and lovable 13-year-old girl. I am super sweet, with mesmerizing eyes. (I am also a four-paw declaw.)

One day I was curled up in my home, and the next I was brought to the vet to be euthanized. I was diagnosed with a hyperthyroid, and my owner didn't want to treat it. The folks at the shelter got a call to help save me—they didn't want to see me put down for something treatable!

I need medication daily, but the shelter people got me started on a regimen. Now I take a small pill twice a day with my food ... and I eat it like a champ! I am sweet, chatty, and an all-around great cat. I would probably do best as an only kitty.

Available for adoption now!

Shelter Kitty of the Week

[UPDATE: ADOPTED!]

Meet Tommy!

Hi! I'm Tommy! Despite everything I have been through, I am one sweet little 2-year-old boy. I was dumped in the middle of farm country (then attacked several times by various animals). But I'm a lover, not a fighter!

When I first came to the shelter, I had these big, nasty puncture wounds on my neck. Everything was cleaned and treated, and now I am a strong and healthy boy who is ready for my forever home. Is that home with you? Come in and meet me!

(PS: I have the cutest little head tilt!)

Available for adoption now!

Shelter Kitties of the Week

Meet Charlotte!

Hi! I'm Charlotte! (Long-time followers might also remember me as Buttercup.) My best friend, Samantha (then Callie), and I have been in the shelter several times over the last 4 years. We were adopted together as kittens, then returned 2 years later. Then we were adopted again ... and, well, you get the idea. We don't know why—we are great girls!

I am the Queen of Bleps! More often than not, you'll find my little tongue poking out of my mouth. I am very playful—I will chase a ribbon wand toy and pounce toys under blankets. Nothing escapes me! I am confident, but I am having a little bit of a hard time readjusting to not having the forever home I thought I did. I just need reassurance that it will all be OK.

If you're looking for a pair of incredibly sweet kitties, we are your girls! We need someone who's in this for the long haul. Being dumped because "something better came along" ... We need someone who will include us in their life plans—no matter what they are.

Meet Samantha!

Hi! I'm Samantha! If I look familiar (because who could forget this face), you're right! I have been at the shelter before. I used to be known as Callie. My friend, Charlotte (then Buttercup), and I were adopted from the shelter as kittens 4 years ago. A couple years after that, we were returned when our human got married. We were adopted again pretty quickly after that ... then they returned us to do other things with their lives. Which I guess didn't include us.

I am a sweet and playful calico girl. Right now, I am a little on the shy side. (I'm a confident girl at heart, but I am feeling a little confuddled as I get used to being back at the shelter.) They've built me a kind of blanket fort that I love being in. I will come out of my fort and rub against you, looking for attention.

We are not high-maintenance girls—I don't know why our humans wouldn't make plans with us in them. We are now waiting for someone who will promise to love us forever. Is that you? We promise not to let you down! Available for adoption now!
