Hi, I'm Fetty Wap.
Fetty Wap says “Hey, what’s up? Hello!” Fetty Wap came from a large hoarding household with too many cats to care for. Due to his early life experiences, it takes him some time to warm up and get comfortable. We can tell that Fetty Wap wants to be your friend by the way his tail shoots straight up in the air when you baby talk him! He is still settling in with the busyness of the shelter, but his confidence grows as we go. As an older kitten, he’s playful as well, waiting until you sit quietly to start checking out toys and giving you curious sniffs.
Fetty Wap would do best in a patient, loving home that allows him to settle in at his own pace. Given his backstory, we don’t know how Fetty Wap feels about dogs or children, but we think he will reward the family who takes a chance on him with lots of love!
Hi, I'm Shirley Temple.
Shirley Temple is the sweetest girl with so much love to give. She may come off a bit reserved at first, but with a little time and patience, her gentle and affectionate personality truly shines. She’s been steadily blossoming here at the shelter, growing more confident each day. We know that in a home environment, Shirley Temple will continue to thrive and fully come out of her shell, becoming a loving and devoted companion.

Hi, I'm Apple Pie.
Apple Pie is a sweet girl who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. Now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the love she’s been waiting for. She can be a strong girl on the leash, but she enjoys getting out for walks and spending time with her people. We’re still getting to know who Apple Pie truly is, and each day her personality continues to shine a little more. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her past or home life was like. Her future family should be ready to give her patience and time as she learns to adjust to a new routine and environment.

Hi, I'm Buster.
Buster is a sweet boy who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. He can be a bit independent and takes time to warm up to new friends. He will do best with a patient, understanding family who can give him the time he needs to settle in. Since his past is unknown, Buster’s adopters should be ready to let him adjust at his own pace while discovering all the little things that make him unique.

Hi, I'm Minnie.
Hi, I’m Minnie! I’m a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being around people and soaking up attention. I walk nicely on leash and enjoy spending time outside exploring the yard and relaxing in the grass. I’m more interested in hanging out with my humans than playing with toys or treats—I’d much rather get pets and affection! I’m an outgoing, friendly companion who would love a home where I can join you for walks and be your loyal sidekick.

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.
