Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Binx!

Hi! I'm Binx! I am a sweet, shy, and very handsome 4-year-old house panther. I found myself at the shelter with two other kitties from my previous home, after our humans split up. Their lives changed, and now ours are changed, too. Everything we ever knew is gone. New people, new smells, new sounds. It's a lot! Right now, I like to stay in a cozy spot ... but I will come out and seek love and pets. When it's quiet, I like to explore. And I love to play! Get out the wand toy ... and let's GO!

I would do best in a calm and quiet home. (I have lived with several other cats, but me and the other kitties weren't really friends.)

Available for adoption now!

Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Johnny!

Hi! I'm Johnny! I am a large, sweet house panther. I have these amazing golden-yellow eyes and long, black whiskers. I love attention, from pets to chin scritches. I am a pretty chill and low-maintenance boy. I love to watch birdies, which fly and flutter in the window next to my bed. I also love to play! (Which is good, because I need the exercise.)

I came into the shelter, already front declawed and a bit overweight. I had some matted fur on my lower back—near my caboose—which was taken care of. Soooo much better! In my next home, I would love to be able to keep watching those birdies! And I would also like to be the only pet in the home. (I was recently adopted and returned after a kitty in the home started picking on me.)

Available for adoption now!

Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Tiny Girl!

Hi! I'm Tiny Girl! I am a sweet and loving little thing! I came into the shelter's care after my human went to jail. My friend, Charlie, and I were left alone for a week in our apartment during the super hot 100° streak—no food, no water, no A/C. After a week, a neighbor called the shelter for help. Why after a week? Because cats "can go two weeks without food." NEWS FLASH: NO. WE. CAN'T!

Shelter Mommy went to the apartment, and rushed us to the ER vet. I weighed only 4 pounds—but was stable, and they were trying desperately to save Charlie. His body shut down and he didn't make it. So now it's just me. I am looking for a home without pets. (I'm not fond of seeing other kitties in my room.)

I am doing great—gaining weight (2 pounds!), playing, exploring ... and I'm ready to go home!

Available for adoption now!

Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Kahalie!

Hi! I'm Kahalie! I came into the shelter at 10 months old, as a new Mom to my own two bitty kittens—Mellie and Leilani. (I was still just a kitten myself!) I am a sweet and playful mini panther, and I'm SO ready for a home of my of my own. I was a great Mom, and I loved my kittens ... but now that they are ready for their forever home, so am I.

I would love a quieter home, without any other cats or dogs. A home where I can be spoiled (because I deserve it). I am the perfect blend of playful and peaceful, and I have a gentle and affectionate purrsonality. I love spending time with people, and my calm, loving presence makes me an easy companion.

Available for adoption now!
