Adopting a Cat

You can’t buy love, but you can rescue it.

If you’re looking for a new best friend, look no further! Our shelter has plus-size cats, petite cats, long-hair cats, and short-hair cats. We have investigative cats, laid-back cats, playful cats, and patrol cats.

They’re all stretching and circling, waiting for that one special person who’ll notice their potential.
