Hi, I'm Honey Dew.
Honey Dew is a lovely girl who came to us as a stray, and from the moment she arrived, she showed us what a kind, gentle, and loving companion she is. When Honey Dew came into our care, we discovered a few medical concerns that have since been addressed. She has arthritis and skin allergies, both of which are managed with daily medication. She also had a mass removed that was diagnosed as a mast cell tumor. While the mass has been removed, these tumors can recur and will require prompt veterinary evaluation and treatment if new masses develop. Any family interested in Honey Dew should be prepared for her ongoing medical needs and committed to providing the care necessary to keep her happy and comfortable. In return, they’ll gain a truly sweet, affectionate dog who has so much love to give. Honey Dew is a gentle soul who deserves a family willing to cherish her and give her the wonderful quality of life she deserves.

Hi, I'm Ham Salad.
Is it an alien? An otter? It’s Ham Salad! Ham Salad was adopted from the shelter as a kitten and went on an escapade that ended with her searching for a new home. As a result of past ear issues, both of Ham Salad’s ears have developed cauliflower ear and are crumpled, but that simply adds to her old lady charm!
We unfortunately don’t have information about how Ham Salad feels about cats, dogs, or young children. Once given the opportunity to decompress, Ham Salad has been happy to greet staff with little head butts and purrs. In shelter, she seems to be a lowkey senior cat that would enjoy couch time and sunny spots… and some treats. Ham Salad is looking forward to her glorious retirement at your side, comforting and warm.
Hi, I'm Pop Culture.
🎬 Meet Pop Culture 🎬
Pop Culture is a charming little tuxedo girl with a big personality and an even bigger sense of adventure! Outgoing, playful, and always eager to be part of the action, she’s the kind of kitten who wants to know exactly what you’re doing—and she’ll happily supervise from the best seat in the house: your shoulder. Whether you’re walking around the house or relaxing on the couch, Pop Culture loves catching a ride so she can stay close to her favorite people.
When she’s not perched up high, Pop Culture is busy chasing toys, exploring every corner of the room, and turning everyday moments into playtime. She’s confident, curious, and always ready to make new friends, making her a wonderful companion for a family looking for an affectionate, social kitten and would thrive in a home that’s ready to embrace her playful spirit and give her plenty of opportunities to climb, explore, and spend time with her people. If you’re looking for a fun-loving sidekick who will keep you laughing and happily ride along on your shoulder, Pop Culture is ready for her starring role in your family.
Hi, I'm Distribution Center.
☕ Meet Distribution Center (“Starbi”) ☕
Distribution Center—better known as Starbi—is a playful, affectionate kitten with a motor that never seems to stop! Named after where she was found, this sweet girl greets each morning with excitement, ready to see her favorite people and soak up all the pets she can get. The moment you start scratching her, her loud, happy purr lets you know just how much she’s enjoying the attention.
Starbi may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she’s an energetic, loving companion who adores interactive play. Wand toys are her absolute favorite, and she’d happily chase them for hours if you let her. She also loves other cats and would much rather have a feline friend to wrestle and play with than entertain herself. Like many kittens, she’s still learning that hands aren’t toys, so another playful cat would be the perfect outlet for her kitten energy and would thrive in a home with another friendly cat and a family that’s ready for lots of interactive play and affection. Starbi is ready to deliver endless love.
Hi, I'm Crema.
Crema is a sweet and affectionate girl with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Whether she’s lounging in a cozy spot, chasing a favorite toy, or curling up for a nap, she’s happiest when she’s by the side of her mother, Leche. These two share a special bond and are looking for a forever home where they can stay together.
Crema is not a fan of dogs, so she’ll do best in a dog-free home where she can feel safe and relaxed. Given a little time to settle in, she’ll reward you with her loving personality and quiet companionship.
If you’re ready to open your heart to a wonderful pair of family, Crema and Leche will bring double the love, double the purrs, and endless joy to your home.

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.
