Hi, I'm Sadie.
Hi, I’m Sadie!
I’m an easygoing sweetheart enjoying my golden years, and I’m happiest simply being near my people. I love gentle pets, cozy cuddles, and spending my days lounging, napping, and following you from room to room. I’m a low-energy girl who enjoys short strolls around the yard but mostly prefers relaxing on the couch or in a comfy bed.
I can be a little anxious when left alone and may let out a howl to let you know I’d rather keep you nearby. I also like to gently nudge doors, so keeping them open helps me avoid accidentally closing myself into a room. I’m a bit of a picky eater, especially when it comes to medication, but with a little patience I do well. Because of arthritis and hip dysplasia, I would do best in a home with a calm routine and minimal stairs.
If you’re looking for a gentle companion to share quiet days and cozy nights, I might be your perfect match.

Hi, I'm Delphinia.
Delphinia may be petite in size, but her spirit is anything but small. This sweet girl has had a difficult start to life and has already experienced more change than any cat should. Despite it all, she remains gentle, affectionate, and quietly brave.
Delphinia has lived with multiple other cats and understands the rhythm of a multi-cat home. She’s the kind of companion who prefers cozy blankets, soft voices, and a warm lap over chaos. Her small frame and delicate features make her look almost kitten-like, and she carries herself with a soft, graceful presence.
Delphinia is looking for a hospice adoption due to mammary adenocarcinoma. While her time may be limited, what she needs most right now is comfort, kindness, and someone willing to give her the love and peace she deserves. Hospice adopters are very special people—those who open their hearts to animals who simply need a safe place to be cherished for however long they have.
What Delphinia will give in return is immeasurable: quiet companionship and gentle purrs.
Hi, I'm Dede.
Dede is a sweet 10-year-old girl with a gentle spirit and a lot of love to give. She may only have one eye, but that doesn’t slow her down or take away from her charm. Dede is affectionate, enjoys spending time with her people, and is happiest when she can relax nearby and soak up attention.
Dede has lived successfully with other cats and may enjoy a feline companion with a similar easygoing personality. She will likely thrive in a calm, quieter home where she can settle in at her own pace and enjoy a predictable routine.
If you’re looking for a loving companion who appreciates cozy naps, gentle affection, and peaceful companionship, Dede could be the perfect match. She’s ready to share her heart—and her unique beauty—with a family of her own. ❤️🐾
Hi, I'm Tofu.
Tofu is a handsome large mixed-breed dog with striking eyes and a gentle personality that is just beginning to shine through. Since arriving at the shelter, he has been slowly coming out of his shell and showing us more of who he is each day. Tofu may be a little reserved when meeting new people, but he appreciates being given the time and space to get comfortable at his own pace. Once he starts to feel safe, his sweet nature begins to emerge. As we’re still getting to know him, we’re excited to continue watching his confidence grow. Because Tofu came to us as a stray, we don’t have any information about his past. What we do know is that he’s looking for a patient and understanding family willing to let him settle in and adjust. With kindness, consistency, and a little time, Tofu has all the potential to become a wonderful companion.

Hi, I'm Paul Blart Mall Cop.
In the famous words of Paul Blart Mall Cop, nobody wins with a head butt. People do, however, get lots of love with a head butt. Paul Blart took his mall cop duties seriously and was reportedly patrolling around a residence. This slightly chunky declawed kitty is a bit confused about how he ended up here and is still fining his confidence, but we can tell he’s a sweetheart for sure by his attention seeking.
Due to his background, we don’t know for sure how Paul Blart feels about living with cats, dogs, or kids. The finders reported that he would snuggle up with their dog, so it might be that he would enjoy a canine cuddle buddy. Paul Blart gave an A+ performance in his duty, going above and beyond, and is ready to retire to a cozy civilian life with you.

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.
