Boudreaux

Breed: Siamese/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Boudreaux, that's me. I am the gorgeous siamese. I really like people. I would lounge in your lap all day if you would let me except when it is time to eat. When I am in your lap you can pet me and I am one happy cat. If I can't be in your lap then I will lay on the top of your chair and lay my paw or my head on your shoulder. And I can play chase the toy to entertain myself and you. I would do best in a home with older children. I have had surgery on my hip but am fully recovered now. Please ask to see me.

Baby Cat

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Baby Cat is a sweet little 6 year old who found her way to us when her owner had to make new living arrangements. She loves her petting sessions, and will get the shaky tail when you visit with her, she loves company that much. She lived with three other cats in her previous home, but no kids. She is already spayed and would like to check out of here as soon as possible.

Baxter

Breed: English Bulldog/ Unspecified

Gender: Male

Age: Young

I'm Baxter, a silly adolescent Bulldog mix with a good heart, but not much training! I need daily exercise, and positive-only-training to work on my manners and focus my energies. The shelter recommends children over 10 years old in the home due to my rowdy, teenage behavior. Like others of my breed, I overheat easily, have a sensitive trachea -- so no walking collars around my throat, please -- and may be more prone to health issues as I age. If you are looking for a fun guy that just needs some fine tuning and a little extra pampering, come on down to meet me. I'm just over 9 months old and weight about 50 pounds.

Chester

Breed: Terrier / Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hi there! My name is Chester and I'm looking for a loving home. I can be a little shy at first, but once I warm up, I am a very affectionate little guy. I enjoy going for walks and relaxing with my people. I am very cuddly and would like nothing more than to sit at your feet at night and watch a good show. The shelter is recommending that children in the home be over the age of 12 years old because I can get scared easily and the little guys are too overwhelming for me. I hope we can work together on building my confidence and creating a great relationship together. Please come down and meet me! I am about 8 years old and 11 weigh pounds.

Peaches

Breed: Pomeranian/ (Purebred)

Gender: Female

Age: Elderly

Hello there! My name is Peaches and I'm looking for a quiet home to spend my golden years in. I am a very sweet, but quiet lady who enjoys long naps and cuddles by the fire. I came to the shelter with quite a few medical problems, so my new family will have to be ready for some extra expenses with me. Why do you always cost more money as you age? Anywho, I have developed allergies and at this point I will need to be on a special diet to control them. I had also had sever ear infections, which are being treated, and severe dental disease. The shelter has offered to do my dental here. Isn't that great? I will most likely always walk with a limp, due to my aging knees, but please ask your vet about ways to keep me comfortable. Just to be thorough, I also have a heart murmur, which may need to be seen by a cardiologist in my future. It doesn't seem to bother me right now though. I really hope all of this medical stuff doesn't deter you. I am cute and quiet. All I wanna do is relax. How can you pass that up? Please come meet me today. The shelter is no place for a golden girl such as myself. I am about 10 years old and weigh 9 pounds.

Spokane

Breed: Domestic Longhair/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Spokane is a beautiful, longhaired gentleman looking for a new home. At just over 3-years-old he's a lap-covering 12 lbs of sweetness and a touch of shyness. Spokane will do best in a quieter home with no small children so he can let his more confident side shine. He loves being pet and will roll around with delight while you scritch his cheeks. Our sweet guy has tested FIV+ so he will need to remain safely indoors, live a low-stress lifestyle, eat right, and get regular vet checks. Many cats who are FIV+ live well into their teens! Talk to your adoption counselor about introducing this treat of a boy to your family. He's neutered and can go home today!

Tornado

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Young

My name is Tornado, because I'm a force of nature! I'm a young, busy and friendly boy that needs an active house to keep up with me. I will do best in a home with another friendly cat or dog I can buddy up with, as well as daily play and fun time with my people! If you're looking for a calm, couch cat, please keep walking! But if you're looking for an interactive buddy, come ask to meet me today!
