Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Cookie!

Hi! I'm Cookie! I am a 6-year-old, weathered-looking kitty, and that's just part of my story. I am a sweet, but scared boy, having lived in a hoarding house for many years. I was actually kitty #40—the very last kitty removed from the home. I lived in the basement, and one day I happened to get into an interior storage room and hid. They were finally able to get to me and bring me into the shelter to get the love and care I needed. (They think that maybe chemicals got onto my fur in that storage room, and that's why I have some nakey skin down my neck.)

I am becoming more confident with people and will now eat licky treats off your finger, but I am still learning to receive attention from humans. I'm starting to check out the toys and start playing! I'm still really learning to be a cat, and so far I think I like it!

I would probably like to be an only kitty. I wasn't around a huge group of cats before, and it's a little overwhelming. I am a sweet, chatty boy who would just love a loving forever home.

Available for adoption now!

Shelter Kitty of the Week

[UPDATE: ADOPTED!]

Meet Junior!

Hi! I'm Junior! I am a super sweet boy, even as I am readjusting to shelter life. I was adopted as a kitten from the shelter a couple of years ago with my sister, Button. I was recently returned, at no fault of my own. My sister went missing from our "forever" home, and then my owner dumped me back here.

I am having a little bit of a hard time with the change. I am withdrawn from the wonders of life. I'm sad ... I'm scared. When people come to show me love, I protest. But they come anyway, and then the petting starts and I roll over on my back and show my belly. (And you can pet it, too!)

I need a calm and quiet home, with a human that will care for me and about me—who will love me no matter who or what else comes along. Will you give me another chance?
