💗💗 Bella & Tori 💗💗

Bella and Tori are a deeply bonded pair of sisters around 4–5 years old who are looking for a calm, loving home together.

These two have been through a lot of change recently. They were originally adopted together as kittens and spent their entire lives together with the same owner. Sadly, after their owner passed a few weeks ago, they had to come back to the shelter. 💔

The transition has been understandably difficult for them both. In the beginning were unsure and a little shut down while trying to make sense of a completely new environment after years of stability. It was difficult to find a food they would eat, but after being in contact with their former cat-sitter, we learned they ate Fancy Feast brand foods. Once we were able to get some of that, they finally began eating more.

Keeping them together is non-negotiable, as their bond is a major source of comfort for both girls. After everything they’ve been through, they’ll likely do best in a quieter home where they can continue to decompress and build confidence together. They may not be “instant connection” cats right now, but they become incredibly rewarding companions who seek out comfort and closeness 🥰

🔗 If interested in adopting, you can apply online anytime (link in the comments).

✨ Or you can stop by the shelter any day we are open (closed Tuesdays) between 12–4pm to fill out an application in person.

☀️ Winnie ☀️

Winnie is around 8–9 yrs old. Older cats like Winnie are often overlooked in shelters, so please share this post so we can get her seen! 🙏🏼

This nature-watching girl would like to formally announce that she is now accepting applications for a home where she can be the ONLY cat, as other cats are simply not part of her vision 🚫🐱🐱

Don’t let her grumpy face fool you! Winnie actually enjoys people quite a bit, but sharing space with other cats does not put her in a good mood.

Winnie loves attention, toys, treats, voicing her opinion, and resting in a sunny window. Her preferred snacks are Temptation treats and Churu tubes, and she’ll happily accept them when offered, as long as you’re not trying to put her back in her kennel 😅

She is pretty curious about doors and likes to hang around them, so she’ll need a secure home with a family that is mindful of her whereabouts when coming and going 🏡

☀️ADOPT NOVA!☀️

🦋Nova is a confident and playful 11 month old Jack Russel mix. She weighs around 22 lbs and likes other dogs and all people. Nova will do best in a home with no cats. 🦋

Nova would make a great adventure dog, and would be a good companion for things like hiking 🥾, camping 🏕️, or kayaking 🛶! Or she would be a good friend to just walk around the block.

💛Future is hoping to have a future with you, where she can play and be best friends!💛

🍋This sweet girl is a 4 month old Shepherd mix. She is full of love and energy and is looking for a home that can help her enjoy herself. She would do great in a home with a fenced yard, children or another energetic dog to play with. 🍋

💚Future had been adopted but the resident dog decided he wasn’t ready for a younger sibling. She is sad to be back at the shelter and is hoping to be back in a home quickly, but is making lemonade out of lemons and knows she will find the perfect fit next time! 💚

🌼We expect her to weigh around 50-60 lbs full grown. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. 🌼

💜Chiquita is a sweet and shy Dachshund and Pug mix. She is 3 years old and came to us with her litter of 8 pups. 💜

🪻Chiquita was a loving and patient mother and took excellent care of her pups. Now it is her turn to be spoiled and cared for. 🪻

💙This girl weighs around 30lbs and is short to the ground. She is working on her leash walking skills, but loves to spend time outdoors in the yard. 💙

🦋Chiquita does well with other dogs and seems to do well with children, but will do best in a cat free home. 🦋
