Hi, I'm Mr. Crawly.
Are you an introvert looking for a similarly introverted furry roommate? Mr. Crawly came into the shelter as a sick stray and is retiring from the colony cat lifestyle. It’s been a strange adjustment for him; he doesn’t always warm to strangers right away, though he often likes a scratch on the head and a good treat bribe. Mr. Crawly has been enjoying exploring during his floor time and is curious about what’s happening around him. If it’s too much, he moseys on back home to his bed. We expect Mr. Crawly’s personality to continue to evolve as he becomes more comfortable out on the floor!
Mr. Crawly is part of our hospice adoption program as he needs to be monitored long-term for any changes in his head tilt/vestibular symptoms due to his cauliflower ear. He will likely require periodic ear cleanings. Mr. Crawly appears to be deaf as a result of his past issues as well, though he doesn’t let it keep him down! We don’t know how he feels about other cats, dogs, or human kids thanks to his background. He’s a bit of a mystery, but we know mystery fans are out there, so pick up this chunky guy if that’s you!
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. Listen, it’s Pride Month, so I feel like this is the perfect time to come out and say it, I am a certified Girls’ Guy™. 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.

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 Kurt.
Meet Kurt! Kurt is a sweet and friendly boy who’s always ready to soak up love and affection. Whether it’s head scratches, cozy cuddle time, or just being near his favorite humans, he’s happiest when he’s part of the action.
This playful guy has plenty of energy and a goofy streak that will keep you smiling. He loves chasing toys, pouncing around, and showing off his silly side, he’s basically a built-in entertainer. Kurt’s fun-loving personality makes him a great companion for anyone looking for a lively and affectionate feline friend.
Kurt does have one quirky habit: when he’s feeling extra loving or playful, he may give gentle “love bites.” It’s just his way of expressing excitement and affection, and with a little understanding, it becomes part of his charm.
If you’re looking for a cat who will keep you laughing, keep you company, and fill your home with warmth and personality, Kurt might just be your perfect match.
Hi, I'm Lila Jones.
With the full moon eyes, this secretive beauty is Lila Jones! Lila is a pretty young adult calico who came into the shelter due to her owner’s health. Because of the circumstances, we unfortunately do not know any more about her life before us, but she is doing her best to adjust to this busy shelter lifestyle! You won’t see much of Lila in these early days, preferring to hide in her bed. But when she has time to settle in, some glimpses of her future purrsonality shine through and she will roll around purring up a storm for pets.
We unfortunately don’t know how Lila feels about living with other cats, dogs, or children. A slow introduction with decompression in a separate area is advised to help set pets up for success. Though she’s unsure what to do after the sudden loss of her previous home, Lila has shown a desire to love again, so patient families willing to give her the time she needs are welcome to apply to meet her! Are you the one she’s waiting for?

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.
