Spotlight Our Long Term Residents!
When adopting from a shelter, we know the decision is hard - there's so many to choose from, and everyone deserves a home! But we ask, when searching for a new addition to the family, to consider a long term resident. Often these pets are overlooked due to their looks, age, or how they portray themselves in the kennel space.

About Oberon & Nyx
This duo came to us nearly 7 months ago, which means they have spent almost their entire lives at the shelter! They are a bonded pair - they have to be adopted together - as they've never left each others sides. Nyx is more shy at first than her brother, and she seems to gain confidence by her brothers side.
They are your average kitten - love playing and chasing each other (they seem particularly fond of the wand toys!). You'll never find one far from the other, and this even carries on into their naptime - cuddling is a requirement!
Watching babies grow up in a shelter is always heartbreaking; we're not sure why Oberon and Nyx have been passed over for so long, but we hope their future family comes soon!
About Vanilla
Vanilla was brought to the shelter as a stray in October of last year. Since living with us, we've learned that miss Vanilla doesn't much care for her neighbor cats. The shelter is a stressful environment, and can have cats display a distaste for other cats due to the amount of smells and noise. We don't often guarantee with cats their social preference (cats will be cats, their mood can be finicky at times!), but it does seem Vanilla would like to be the only girl for you!
She's a super sweet lady who loves napping in her bed; she really enjoys when staff and volunteers stop by to sit with her and give her plenty of chin scratches! Vanilla has been a pretty introverted girl since staying with us, but we believe once she has her own home to rule she'll come out of her shell. She's quickly climbed the rank to be some of our volunteers favorite, and we hope anyone looking to add a soft spoken lady to their home will see what we see and bring her home to spoil!
Till then, she'll continue to patiently wait for her family to come!
About Lavender
Lavender is a sweet, active girl that loves attention! She is super lovable and loves to go on walks and play in the play yard. It took her no time at all to win over our staff and volunteers hearts with her silly disposition. Lavender does chase cats, so a home without cats would be best for her. Lavender may be too much for small children, so an age restriction for children in the home may apply - please discuss this with shelter staff.
Residents who have been in the shelter for long periods of time can exhibit stress in many different ways - for miss Lavender, it was weight loss and a decline in activity. With Lavenders best interest in mind, we decided to move her from the Adoption Floor back over to Isolation - which is quiet and non accessible by public visitation. This seemed to help our girl tremendously; she began to regain weight and was back to her goofy, bouncy self! Staff and volunteers alike have nothing but good things to say about miss Lavender, and we hope this year our #1 Girl will finally find her fur-ever home!
