Freddie

Freddie is a 10 year old cuddly hunk! He may be shy at first, but warmed up quickly to his foster family. He loves to sleep really close to his people and loves to follow you where ever you go! Freddie's ideal forever home would include at least one comfy lap snuggle up in and would provide him with frequent petting sessions.

Gino

Gino is a former stray who was surrendered when his owner could not afford to take care of him. We discovered that he has environmental and food allergies. He is on special food and has been seeing a vet specialist. Gino has to wear a cone until his skin heals, but it hasn’t gotten in the way of his sweet, loving personality.

Jackson

Jackson is a sweet tabby boy that wants nothing more than to cuddle in a warm lap and get a few chin scratches. He is a playful 11 year old that loves his toys. Jackson has lived peacefully with two dogs, but does not like to share his space with other cats. His family had to surrender him due to a family member's allergies.

Joan of Arc

Looking for a sweet little ball of fluff? Well look no further. Joan of Arc is the girl for you. She may have been the smallest in her litter but she never let that stop her. In fact, she was the first to hit many milestones along the way and has definitely lived up to her name. She loves to play with her toys, her siblings and is infatuated with human feet (the stinkier the better). She will seek out people to get some love and will continue to purr even while trying to entice you to play with her while petting her.

Willis was adopted from Broken Tail as a kitten in 2012 and was surrendered back due to allergies in the family. He's a big friendly boy that needs space to stretch out and roam around.

Pumba

Pumba is an adorable 7 year old Shep-a-Doodle (Shepard and Poodle mix). He's a lot like Pumba from The Lion King; he has an incredible underbite and had long hair on his back with short hair on the sides! One difference is our Pumba is a perfect 35lbs!

Twix

Twix is an 11 pound 4 year old Chihuahua Jack Russell (Parson) Terrier. Twix is a very sociable boy that loves to play. Twix is initially tentative around strangers, but is easily influenced by treats. Any potential adopter meeting Twix should plan to arrive with their pockets filled.

Hi! My name is Roxanne. I am estimated to be 3 years old and weigh about 51 lbs.. The best word to describe me is Exuberant! I just love people and attention.
