Spotlighting Our Longest Residents!
- We know choosing a pet from a shelter isn’t easy—there are so many wonderful animals, all deserving of a loving home.
- As you search for your new family member, we kindly ask you to consider one of our long-term residents. These pets are often overlooked—not because they lack love to give, but because of their age, appearance, or how shy or nervous they may seem in the kennel environment.
- Given a chance, these hidden gems can become the most loyal, loving companions. All they need is someone willing to look beyond first impressions and see the heart underneath!

Meet Squeakey — The Shelter Isn't Where She Was Meant to Grow Old
Squeakey's one-year shelter anniversary is coming up on July 1st, and that's a milestone we never wanted her to reach. At 6 years old, Squeakey was surrendered alongside her sister when their owner's health declined and they could no longer care for them. It was a heartbreaking change for two cats who had spent their lives in a home. A few months ago, Squeakey watched her sister get adopted and leave for a new family. Since then, she's been waiting for someone to choose her, too.
Squeakey is a wonderful lady who knows what she likes: Churu treats, mouse toys, cozy spots to relax, and having her own space when she needs it. She's not a kitten anymore and prefers a peaceful lifestyle over constant excitement. Unfortunately, after nearly a year in a shelter kennel, the stress has started to show. She can become overstimulated and may hiss, swat, or tell you when she's had enough. While some people see those behaviors and move on, we see a cat who has spent far too long in an environment that overwhelms her. The Squeakey we see in the bonding room is completely different—once she's out of her kennel and given a chance to relax, she's affectionate, happy, and enjoys spending time with people she trusts.
We truly believe Squeakey will flourish once she's back in a home. She needs a calm, quiet household where she can be the only pet and where her boundaries are respected. We know she isn't the kind of cat who will win everyone over in the first five minutes, but we also know she has so much potential to be an incredible companion for the right person. Squeakey deserves to spend her days napping in sunny windows, enjoying her favorite treats, and finally learning what it feels like to be spoiled again. All she needs is someone with a little patience, a lot of love, and the willingness to give a good cat the second chance she so desperately deserves.

Meet Opal — A Princess Searching for Her Kingdom
On the 30th of this month, Opal will celebrate a milestone we wish she never had to reach: one full year in the shelter. Opal's story is one that has stayed with us. She was originally adopted from us years ago, and we truly believed she had found her happily-ever-after. Then, through circumstances we'll never fully understand, Opal was found abandoned in an apartment and returned to us. While we don't know why she was left behind, we do know one thing for certain: Opal deserved better. We welcomed her back with open arms, and ever since, she's been waiting for someone to give her the forever home she thought she already had.
Opal can be a little wary of strangers at first, but once you've earned her trust, she's your girl for life. The people she loves quickly become her whole world. She enjoys going for walks, carrying her toys around the play yard, and happily jogging laps with a favorite toy in her mouth. One of her favorite places, though, might surprise you—sometimes she'd rather stay in the car than go anywhere at all. Give her a comfy passenger seat, the windows cracked, and some music playing, and she's perfectly content to enjoy the ride. She's also eager to please, especially if treats are involved, and already knows commands like sit and down.
Opal is looking for a home where she can be the center of attention, and honestly, she wouldn't have it any other way. She would do best as the only pet, where she can fully embrace her role as the beloved princess of the household. After everything she's been through, we would love to see Opal finally find the stability, love, and security she deserves. She has spent the last year waiting for someone to see past her initial shyness and discover the loyal, loving companion underneath. We know that person is out there. All Opal needs is one more chance to prove just how wonderful she truly is.

Meet Roulette — Ready to Be Your Jackpot!
Roulette recently celebrated her 3rd birthday here at the shelter, and after spending more than a year waiting for a home, we're starting to think someone needs to roll the dice and take a chance on her! Found as a stray near the casino, Roulette has certainly lived up to her name. Since arriving, she's tried her luck at both the shelter and even spent a few weeks at PetCo hoping to catch someone's eye. Despite all that, this sweet girl is still waiting for her jackpot moment.
Roulette is full of personality and knows how to keep life interesting. She loves playing with wand toys, climbing her cat trees, and—unlike most cats—is a big fan of water. She enjoys greeting visitors and can get so excited during playtime that she occasionally tosses in a playful little love nibble on your fingers. She's affectionate, social, and enjoys spending time with people, but she's also independent enough to entertain herself and relax when the fun is over. After more than a year in the shelter, she's learned how to make the best of her situation, but we'd much rather see her enjoying all that freedom in a home of her own.
If you're looking for a cat who will keep you smiling, Roulette may be your perfect match. She would prefer to be the only pet in the home, where she can have all the attention—and all the toys—to herself. She's spent over a year waiting for someone to choose her, with very little interest along the way, and we honestly can't understand why. Roulette is fun, loving, entertaining, and full of life. All she needs now is someone willing to take a chance on her. We have a feeling it'll be the best bet they've ever made.
