Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Willow!

Hi! I'm Willow! I have a lot of history to try and share, so I will try and make this as short as possible. Some of you might remember me as Snuggles — as in Tide & Snuggles. (We were dumped in the parking lot, and Tide became really sick.) After Tide passed away, I went to my forever home. Only, it turns out not to be the best fit for me. My human loves me so much, and tried so hard to make it work, but the resident kitties just won't stop picking on me. So it would be best for all of us to find me a new home ... without other cats.

I am a sweet and affectionate girl, and I bond quickly with people. I have a gentle, playful, curious personality. My favorite toys are my mousie, ladybug, kicker, and string toys! I love exploring, watching birds from my window seat, playing, lounging in sunny spots, and being involved in whatever my people are doing.

I would do really well as the only cat in a quiet, loving home, where I could have freedom to explore, plenty of human companionship, and the opportunity to be the center of someone’s world!

Available for adoption now!

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!
