Currently available pets:

Callie

Our furever friend has died and now my BFF, Princess, and I need a new home and we sure would like to stick together just like Mom wanted. Speaking of myself, I am a friendly, affectionate, spayed, indoor, 4 ½ y.o. Calico with claws who loves laps, playing and also sleeping on the bed with you and Princess.  I have never lived with a dog but I like small dogs when they visit. Same with kids.  Go ahead….make my day!

 

Princess

Well, you have heard about us from Callie and that’s fine with me as I am a bit shy and quiet. But I do love a good game of fetch and chase the string! Not to mention a good view from the window so I can watch what’s happenin’! I am 5 years old, spayed and an indoor cat.  Come and get us  and I will show you my happy cat face!

Moose

“Look into my eyes. You are under my control. You are going to the phone to call Safe Place”………… I am a 12lb, neutered, 4 y.o., declawed (front), leash trained(!), indoor cat. I have had some trauma in my life with the loss of my owner and being left on my own for a bit but am getting my mojo back. Now I just need your love and devotion. Won’t it be fun going on walks together?  An exercise cat! Be the first in your neighborhood to have one.

 

Cassidy

Are you the kind of person who wants what few people have?  Well, that would be me! A female yellow tabby. ( We are usually male.)I am a spayed, 8 y.o., indoor kitty with claws. I also like hangin’ outside  on the porch but I stay put. Plus I am quite fond of catnip, laser lights and chasing string. Ok with small dogs but kids? Not so much. You, on the other hand, I adore. 

 Viola

What can I tell you about me? Well, first of all I am one all-around Super Kitty…9 y.o., SH calico, spayed with claws but indoor. Now for the good stuff…I am easy-going, affectionate, talkative and ok with other cats, small dogs and even older kids.  What I love, you ask? Being brushed laser lights, any crinkly toys, catnip and of course, you. I’ll have you at meow. 

Felix

The Mystery Cat. Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen but that’s all behind me now! (Hint: My owner died, I got moved a couple of times, was under the weather in the process.) Plus it left Safe Place with no juicy tidbits about me. All they know…neutered, have claws, Tabby, 10 – 14 y.o., friendly to my foster and get along with her cats. Plus, I love the catnip and laser light. Really, I can be whatever you want to tell people. Use your imagination!  I’ll never let on.

 

Georgie Girl

Well, at 12 – 14 years old (spayed and with claws)I guess I am not a girl but I am a fabulous indoor kitty. I enjoy sun spots, cat nip and treats. But then who doesn’t? While I can be on the shy side and am a bit independent I do get along with other cats and dogs. And I will love you. No doubt about it. I’ve seen you in my dreams.

Maggie

Obviously, to see me is to want me, as I am one fetching feline if I do say so myself and, of course, I don’t! I am a 7 y.o. Torti, spayed, up on shots and fine with dogs . I am an  indoor/outdoor kind of gal and know how to use a dog door.  A bit shy at first, I warm up fast and am very affectionate.  We were made for each other, I just know it.
