You can call me Race Day.  It’s the only name I’ve ever known.  My former owners gave me to the shelter in August, and I’ve been here ever since.
I’m really a loving boy.  I love people and do well with other cats.  I like to 1) be petted, 2) play, and 3) sleep – in that [...]

My name is Felix, and I’m an ordinary black cat that has been at the shelter since April.  The longer I’m here, the more I eat, and now people ask if I’m pregnant!  How embarrassing.
I’m a young neutered male Domestic Short Hair, about a year and a half old.
I’m extremely lovable to people and other [...]
