Hi, I'm Snickers.
Meet Snickers! 🐾
Snickers is a gentle, sweet boy with a soft heart and the cutest little kitten-like meow. Once he feels comfortable, he absolutely loves attention—rolling onto his back, purring, and making biscuits while you pet him.
He may be a bit shy at first and will need some patience as he settles in, but he’s incredibly gentle and blossoms into a loving, social companion once he feels safe. He’s now really coming out of his shell and starting to show his playful side—especially when it comes to feather toys!
Snickers has been an easy houseguest. He uses the litter box perfectly, eats both wet and dry food (especially chicken pâté!), and enjoys a calm routine with plenty of cozy time in the evenings. Snickers would do best in a quieter home with someone who will give him time to adjust and build his confidence. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with lots of love (and a little playtime!), Snickers might be your perfect match. 💕🐱
Hi, I'm Lucy.
Lucy is a gentle, older female cat with a quiet charm and a heart full of love. While she may be a bit shy at first, once she feels safe and comfortable, her sweet and affectionate nature truly shines. She enjoys calm environments and would do best in a home where she can take her time settling in and building trust at her own pace.
Lucy has a soft, loving presence—she’s the kind of companion who will quietly keep you company, curl up nearby, and offer comfort without demanding too much in return. With patience and kindness, she forms strong bonds and becomes a deeply loyal friend.
Special Note: Lucy has a chicken allergy, so she requires a chicken-free diet to stay healthy and happy. Her future family should be mindful of her dietary needs and ensure she receives appropriate food and treats.
Hi, I'm Nico.
Nico is a handsome guy with a head just a little too big for his body, which honestly just makes him that much cuter. It gives him a permanently adorable, slightly goofy charm that’s hard to resist. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people and likes a minute to take things in but bring some snacks and you’ll be well on your way to winning him over. Once Nico feels comfortable, his playful and fun personality really starts to shine. He loves to play, enjoys spending time with his people, and even knows a few tricks, smart and cute? Total package. Nico is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a patient, loving home where he can truly relax and be himself. If you’re willing to give him that little bit of time, he’ll reward you with a whole lot of love.

Hi, I'm Zoey.
Zoey is a reserved girl who just needs a little time and patience to show her true self. Here at the shelter, she keeps to herself and enjoys the quieter moments, like her walks and time out in the yard. She isn’t overly social and prefers affection on her own terms, but once she feels comfortable, she does begin to warm up. We believe that in a calm, loving home where she can decompress at her own pace, Zoey will continue to come out of her shell and form a meaningful bond with her people.

Hi, I'm Dior.
Dior is a sweet boy who was surrendered at no fault of his own and is ready for a fresh start with a loving family. At 5 years old, he’s the perfect mix of playful and affectionate; old enough to have some manners, but still full of life and fun. We’re still getting to know Dior as he settles in, but he’s already showing us what a good boy he is. He would love a somewhat active home where he can join in on adventures, whether that’s walks, outings, or just exploring the world by your side. If you’re looking for a well-rounded companion who can keep up with your day and then relax right alongside you, Dior might just be your guy.

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
