Shelter Kitty of the Week

Meet Claire!

Hi! I'm Claire! I came from a rough, abusive home. I came from a house with 15 other kitties, and my owners decided they wanted to move. They didn't want to deal with us, so they up and left … and we were either left to fend for ourselves or dumped outside.

I'm trying to fit in at the shelter, but there are some cats that pick on me! I'm a nice girl ... I just need someone that will give me time and patience. (Someone who would just love some company.) I would do my best in a quiet home without kids, dogs, or other cats.

While I am shy, I do want to be around people and the things going on. I don't cause any commotion ... and I try to avoid it in a room full of kitties.

Meet Star!

Hi! I'm Star! I am a petite and spunky little thing. I pack a lot of attitude in this little body! I am super playful, and will run around and bat toys all over the shelter. I especially love electronic toys, and wand toys. I’m 6 years old, but I act like a kitten!

I came from a hoarding house with 40 cats. Yes ... 40 CATS! This included my best friend, Gray Ghost, who passed away after some big medical issues. We would snuggle together, and we looked out for each other. Despite all that, I am fabulous—I am a resilient girl!

While I am not a cuddly kitty, I do love to be near my people. I would love a quiet home with a super plush and comfy kitty bed for me to sleep in ... and—of course—lots of toys!

[UPDATE: ADOPTED!]

Meet Fanny!

Hi! I'm Fanny! Now a 16-year-old senior girl, I was kept in a basement all my life. I hadn't even been to a vet since I was a kitten! One of my owners passed away, and the other wanted to euthanize me ... but couldn't afford it. Thankfully, the shelter found out and took me in. I came in *severely* matted. They did a spa day for me—a shave down and a mani / pedi. I feel soooo good now! And WOW—am I a gorgeous cat!

Someone out there will want to give me the best life a senior kitty could have. I'm an absolute sweetheart who just wants to cuddle up on your lap! Do *you* have that free lap for me?

Available for adoption now!
