Hi, I'm Pico De Gato.
Pico De Gato is a sweet and friendly girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for people! She never meets a stranger and is always excited to make new friends. Whether you’re a longtime companion or someone she’s just met, Pico is ready to greet you with affection and charm.
This lovable lady enjoys all the pets, cuddles, and snuggles she can get. If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be close to her people, Pico is your girl. She thrives on attention and loves spending time with her favorite humans.
Pico also has a soft spot for food and treats! A tasty snack is a sure way to make her happy, and she’s always ready to join in when it’s time for a treat.
With her gentle personality, affectionate nature, and friendly spirit, Pico De Gato is sure to bring love, companionship, and plenty of purrs to her forever home. Could she be the perfect addition to your family?
Hi, I'm Ivy.
🌿 Meet Ivy 🌿
Ivy is the kind of kitten who makes herself right at home wherever she goes. Friendly from the start, she settled into foster care with ease and quickly won everyone over with her nonstop purrs and affectionate personality. If there’s a cozy lap available, Ivy is more than happy to claim it for a nap while happily rumbling away like a little purring machine.
This sweet girl has the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. She loves chasing and wrestling with the resident cats, often choosing them over toys for her daily adventures. While she can be a tiny bit mouthy during play—as many kittens are—she’s otherwise an easygoing, low-maintenance companion who enjoys both wet and dry food and takes life at her own pace.
Ivy can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and is wonderful with children. She would especially love a home with another playful feline friend to keep her company, but most of all she’s looking for a family ready to enjoy endless purrs, cozy cuddles, and a lifetime of companionship.
Hi, I'm Melon.
Melon is a short, stocky sweetheart who came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past. What we do know is that she has been incredibly loving and friendly with everyone she has met here at the shelter. Melon has some big feelings when she sees other dogs, and while we’re still learning more about her dog-to-dog preferences, adopters should be prepared to help her navigate those interactions appropriately. Because her history is unknown, a slow and thoughtful introduction to any new environment will be important. Like many shelter dogs, Melon will need time to decompress and settle into her new home before her true personality shines through. With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, we think this adorable little lady will blossom into a wonderful companion. Could Melon be the missing piece to your family?

Hi, I'm Austin.
Austin is a handsome boy who came to us at no fault of his own and is ready to find a family to call his own. When he first arrived, Austin was understandably nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. With time, patience, and the support of our staff, he has truly blossomed into a happy, personable, and playful companion. Austin is looking for an understanding family that will give him the time he needs to settle into yet another new environment and build confidence at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality shines through. As a fluffy guy, Austin comes with plenty of fur and shedding, so his future family should be prepared to keep up with regular brushing to help him look and feel his best. If you’re searching for a loyal companion and don’t mind a little extra fur around the house, Austin may be the perfect fit for you!
Hi, I'm Snow.
Snow is a sweet girl with the very best bully smile and a personality that’s sure to win hearts. She came to the shelter at no fault of her own and is ready to find a family willing to shower her with the love she deserves. In the shelter, Snow tends to be a bit independent, happily doing her own thing and taking in the world around her. But when she’s ready, she’ll come over for pets and affection on her terms. One of our favorite things about Snow is watching her roll around in the dirt with a huge grin on her face, it never fails to make us smile! Snow is looking for a family who will appreciate her easygoing nature and give her the chance to settle in and be herself. If you’re searching for a sweet companion with a charming smile and a little goofy side, Snow may be your perfect match.

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.
