Lexi is a 5 year old domestic cat that is shy at first but once she's comfortable will beg for more scratches! She prefers to be the only cat in the home as she wants all the attention to herself. Lexi would do best in an adult only home as she likes to do her own thing unless she is asking for more belly rubs. Lexi has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Rico is a handsome 8 year old Doberman x Boxer who was surrendered to us by his previous loving family. This boy is such a suck and loves to be in the know with his people. Rico knows commands and would make a great family pet. He is used to being the only animal in the house so we would like to find him a single pet home where he will continue to be spoiled rotten! Rico is friendly with other dogs and plays well with ones his size. Rico is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Mila is a 2 year old domestic cat who was brought in from a hoarding situation. Mila was in a house with 60+ cats who were all fighting for space and food. She arrived with a litter of kittens who have since been adopted. This lovely lady is pretty independent but does enjoy some pets from time to time. She will nest her head into the palm of your hand looking for an ear rub or two! Mila is used to having other cats around but is not keen on dogs. Mila has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Betty is a 3 year old domestic cat who was surrendered by her previous family due to no fault of her own. Betty is very sweet and enjoys being pet.

If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
How cute is Betsys "sad puppy face?!" Betsy is a 4 month old kitten who is very social and looking for an active family to play with!

Peaches is a 2 year old domestic cat who found her way into the shelter after being picked up as a stray. This sweetie was very scared when she first came to us but is now a totally different cat! She loves head rubs, belly rubs and will knead to show you just how much she loves it! Peaches would do best in a quieter home where she can take her time coming out of her shell. Peaches has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Wilma is a beautiful (I mean look at her markings!) 10 week old domestic kitten who was trapped on a farm a few weeks ago.

If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Norris is a handsome 5 month old domestic kitten who was trapped on a rural property. This cutie is a polydactyl if you couldn't tell by his big feet! Extra little mitts to love and adore! After some TLC and lots of wet food this little guy is a lover! He is obsessed with getting head rubs and will drool a tiny bit to show you just how much he loves it!

If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
