Another successful adoption day, hip hip hooray! 🎉 5 more dogs and 10 more cats got adopted, but we still have many deserving animals waiting for their chance at a forever home. Two of them are young cats in our group housing room, Amelia and Nevins.

Amelia is a gorgeous 1 year old white and tabby female whose personality is as beautiful as her appearance. Named after Amelia Bedelia, she raised her book bunch of kittens (available for adoption soon!) and is now looking for a forever home of her own. She has an incredible personality, loves affection, and will make a fantastic family companion for someone looking for a friendly, easy going feline. One of her favorite things is being held close in your arms! ❤️

Nevins is a quirky 1 year old solid black male who is sure to warm your heart. He may not be the most “handsome” cat with his eye that doesn’t quite look straight ahead, lanky tail, and thin bum fur, but his personality shines though his imperfections and we think it makes him that much more perfect. Friendly, playful, and curious, this fun guy will also make a fantastic family feline. One of his favorite things is head scratches! ❤️

Both of these cats can be found in our group housing right when you walk into the shelter lobby. Meet them tomorrow from 1-5:30 pm and maybe fall in love with one of these fabulous cats!
