Hi, I'm Larry.
🧡 Meet Larry 🧡
Larry is an orange tabby with a sunny personality to match! This sweet little guy loves being part of the action, whether he’s playing with his furry friends, exploring the house, or finding the perfect sunny window to watch the world go by. One of his favorite pastimes is sitting at the window, chirping excitedly at birds and squirrels as they pass.
Raised in a foster home with children, cats, and dogs, Larry has grown into a confident, well-socialized kitten who enjoys the company of just about everyone. He’s affectionate, curious, and always ready to make a new friend, whether they have two legs or four. His easygoing nature makes him a wonderful fit for a variety of families.
Larry would thrive in a home with another playful animal companion to wrestle, explore, and nap alongside. While he and his foster friend Donna aren’t a bonded pair, they certainly enjoy each other’s company and would love to be adopted together—or each join a home with another friendly pet. If you’re looking for a kitten who’s equal parts lovable and adventurous, Larry is ready to brighten your days.
Hi, I'm Nick Cannon.
To a rabbit, family comes first, and that’s why Nick Cannon came into the shelter as the proud father of eleven rabbit kits (of varying ages with several mothers). Thankfully, Nick’s dad days are now done and he’s ready to find a human family of his own—without the possibility of more surprise additions! Nick lived in a home with several young human children and other rabbits, though he was reportedly more mellow and independent than others in his group. Nick does accept petting—which is good because his soft Rex coat is quite addictive to touch—and always enjoys his food. Perhaps when he’s away from the chaos of the shelter life with a family of his own, he’ll blossom?
Nick has been working hard on his litter training and hopes to continue to hone his skills while waiting for his family to come along. Due to his successful multi-rabbit background, Nick Cannon might be a good option for a bonded pair, whether that is reintroducing him to rabbits he previously lived with or with your rabbit at home! There’s only one way to find out, and that’s on meet day!
Hi, I'm Kirk.
Risk… is Kirk’s business. That’s what this cat is all about. And that’s precisely why Kirk showed up at someone’s patio and walked right in the door! Seems he was sick of his old life and decided he was going to start over with the first person he found. Well, it turns out it isn’t always that simple (no matter what the Cat Distribution System thinks), so Kirk is here instead to find a family! Kirk seems to be an easy-going and friendly sort of fellow. Described by his finder as loving right off the bat, Kirk likes to say hello with a big stretch and a head butt. He isn’t too much of a clinger, though. He’s happy to give his hellos and set off on a little exploration (indoor) adventure sniffing around the cattery.
Due to Kirk’s background, we don’t know how he feels about living with cats, dogs, or kids. A slow introduction with decompression in a separate area is advised to help set pets up for success. Kirk has a rugged look with a soft heart that anyone would be lucky to love, so meet Kirk if you’re looking for company!
Hi, I'm Poe.
As Edgar Allen Poe says, there is no beauty without some strangeness, and nobody represents that more than Poe! Poe is a young medium-sized rabbit who came into the shelter due to his owners being unable to care for him anymore. Poe was reported by his previous family to be comfortable being pet and held and okay with children, though he is fearful of being handled in the cage. As such, Poe is looking for a pen-based setup where he doesn’t feel too crowded in (with or without free roaming). While out in the enrichment room, he is much easier to handle and enjoys exploring and playing with toys! Poe is looking for a family that understands the peculiarities of a rabbit and are willing to give Poe to space and time he needs to build a loving, lasting relationship with him, so fans of a little beautiful quirkiness might find their perfect match in Poe!
Hi, I'm Ford Ranger.
Hello, ladies! My name is Ford Ranger, and while I arrived at the shelter as a stray with very little known about my past, I’ve made one thing crystal clear about my future: I am looking for a home where the feminine energy is strong. I am a certified Girls’ Guyâ„¢. The female staff here? Obsessed with me. Me? Equally obsessed with them. The men? Well… let’s just say we’re still in the “it’s complicated” stage of our relationship. I do require someone with breed experience. I’d prefer an adult-only home who understand that trust takes time and good things are worth waiting for. Once I decide you’re part of my inner circle, though, prepare yourself. I become a world-class cuddle enthusiast. Despite weighing considerably more than a Chihuahua, I firmly believe I am lap sized. This is not up for debate. I also have a playful side and enjoy having fun with my people. What I need most is a family willing to provide structure, positive reinforcement training, and consistency while I continue building confidence and learning how to navigate the world. So, if your household is giving “women supporting women” energy, if your playlists occasionally feature girl power anthems, and if you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to adore his favorite people, we should probably meet.

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.
