8-years-young Mittens is a strikingly handsome little charmer. Mittens likes to form a bond with humans before he’s handled, and once he gets to know you, it’s nothing but head rubs for this little guy. His ideal home is with adults where he can enjoy sleeping the day away in his own comfy bed. Mittens would do best as a solo cat in a home where he can be spoiled. He even loves to watch humans work in the garden – little cutie!
G5 has the biggest heart and just wants a home of his own. Found as a stray in 2017, his owner came back but was returned in 2021. Then sadly, he was found in an abandoned house with squatters, in a crate without food or water. Now safe, G5 does great at the shelter. He loves meeting new people, playing in the yard, and learning new things. Thanks to a wonderful shelter volunteer, G5 takes foster field trips where he enjoys a good book and some couch time. The most ideal home for him will be with patient and savvy owners; young adults 17 and older; and possibly as a solo pet.

Petite chirping Giggles would love to be your new best friend! Her tiny size and love for play would totally make you think she’s a kitten! This adorable little girl will steal your heart with her playful antics and zest for life.

Meadow is a Labrador Retriever Mix who is just under two years old. She was brought to the Animal Shelter after she was found as a stray and never claimed. Meadow is sweet, outgoing, and she always has a happy smile on her face. She is full of energy and loves looking for new friends. Meadow is very well-behaved but can use a little bit of practice with her leash manners. Her energy can be a bit much for smaller kids and cats, so a potential home should keep this in mind. It’s time for the delightful Meadow to finally write a happy ending of her own.
