Scarecrow would like to make one thing clear: she’s happy to have your company, but she’ll be in charge of the cuddle schedule.

This sweet, independent lady is looking for a quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. Give her a cozy nap spot, a tall cat tree, and a window with some quality bird-and-squirrel TV, and you’ll be speaking her language!

Scarecrow enjoys attention, but she likes to set the schedule. Think “let’s spend some time together” rather than “pick me up and cuddle me all day.” She’s looking for someone who appreciates her company and respects her boundaries. Her purrfect someone will understand that “I’d like some space” doesn’t mean “I don’t love you.”

We don’t know how she feels about other animals, so introductions will need to be slow and thoughtful. She’s also declawed, so she needs to be an indoor-only kitty.

Have room for a little sweetness and a little sass? Scarecrow might just be your perfect little pumpkin.

📚🐾 A good book, a few curious cats, and your child - what a sweet way to spend the afternoon!

The GAHS’s Let’s Chat Reading Program has spots for 3 children to read to shelter animals this Sunday at 1:00 PM. Each child must be accompanied by one parent or guardian.

It’s a wonderful opportunity for your child to practice their reading skills while spending time with the cats here at the shelter. Bring a favorite book from home or choose one of ours! 🐱📖

This shy guy is soaking up some gentle lovin' and giving us a little peek at the sweet kitty behind the bashful face.

Salt n' Pepper is looking for a quiet home where he can take his time settling in, find his favorite cozy hideaway, and let love grow at his own pace. His dream setup? Soft beds, a cat tree with a view, and maybe a Catasaurus donut tunnel.

No need to rush the recipe for friendship: just add patience, gentle encouragement, and YOU.

We’re here at the jewelers for our 24 karat kittens, adoption event, and we have more than 50 potential adopters here already this morning!

It’s safe to say all the kittens will be adopted! ❤️

Who’s ready for some extra paws running around the house? All we can say, is they are guaranteed to bring a whole lot of love and shenanigans when they head to their new homes!

We are excited that Day's Jewelers was ready to partner with the GAHS for the 5th Annual 24 Karat Kittens Adoption Event! Learn more at https://facebook.com/events/s/24-karat-kittens-kitten-adopti/1367773096412105/

All of these cuties are hoping that tomorrow will be "Gotcha Day" and we’ve got them ready to go with everything they need. Each is:

✅ Spayed/Neutered

✅ Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines

✅ Microchipped

✅ Sent with a to-go bag of food to get you started

✅ Provided with a list of local vets offering a FREE wellness visit to establish care

We’ll start visits and adoptions at 11am. Potential adopters will be assisted in order of arrival, there is no pre-approval process and adopters will be limited to one kitten each. Regular adoption fee of $240 will apply. Cardboard carriers will be available to purchase - but bringing yours from home is a great idea!

Spread the word by tagging someone who needs an extra dose of adorableness in their life in the comments below. Then make your plans to meet up at the Day’s Jewelers tomorrow!

Meet Mayble - a sweet, silly girl with a whole lot of love to give and a personality that is really beginning to shine.

Mayble has been through a lot of change in her young life, so she is searching for something wonderfully simple: a patient, committed family who will help her feel safe, secure, and truly at home.
Since returning to the shelter, Mayble has been showing us more of her happy, confident side every day. She loves being herself, making us smile, and reminding everyone just how much joy a dog can bring. She can be anxious in new or stressful situations, though, and will need adopters who understand that trust takes time and that helping her build confidence is a lifelong act of love.

She has done well meeting dogs on leash here at the shelter, but Mayble has not lived with other animals that we know of. Any introductions to resident pets should be slow, thoughtful, and set up for success. Vet visits are especially hard for Mayble, and our team has been helping her learn muzzle training so her future care can feel safer and less overwhelming.

Mayble doesn’t need a perfect family. She needs a family willing to choose her, support her, and stick by her through the ups and downs. In return, she promises endless affection, laughter, loyalty, and all the wonderfully goofy moments that make life better.

Come meet this lovable girl and see if she might be your perfect Mayble!
