the definition of cuddly

I’m Wicket.  Like you can see in the picture, I’m orange and white, with soft pink ears, pink nose, and, not to toot my own horn, but I have the best whiskers the world has ever seen.  I’m a DSH (domestic short-hair), about 1 yr old, I’m great with other kitties, and I’m all boy.

My favorite place in the whole wide world is a lap.  I like to lay on a warm lap and suck on my own toe (just like a baby sucks its thumb).  I’ll let you know how happy I am by purring the best purr you’ve ever heard.  But most of the time, I have to share the laps of the wonderful shelter people with others and so I’m usually  in this cold metal cage daydreaming of my own person who will love me.

the kind of brown eyes they write songs about

My name is PICKLES!!!!  and its a perfect name.  I’m a spayed female, 2 yrs old American Foxhound mix.

The wonderful shelter people call me “Miss Personality”, and have given me the award for the best smile!  I sit in my cage and daydream of finding a person who would be mine, someone who will give me attention and love and will smile back at me.

I’m a little scared of men because a man in my past was mean to me   but I love kids, other dogs and cats.  I just want someone to appreciate my big brown eyes and tell me that I’ve finally found a home to belong to.

I’m Atticus.  I’m a male German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix, about 1 yr old, and I’ve been at the shelter since middle of August.  Can you believe that with as cute as I am?

I love to greet my people with a big bounce to show them how much I love them.  Do you like the outdoors?  Do you like to jog or walk?  I’d love to go with you!  Let’s go see the world together.  I am ready to be part of an active family.

They named me Ghost, but I’m not scary at all.  Actually, I’m very loveable!  I was wandering the streets after losing my home, so I’m glad to be somewhere safe and warm while looking for a new family.

I’m a male white Domestic Short Hair, about 3 years old.

My name is LaLa, and I’m so cute that I was adopted quickly. 

I hear that small dogs are very popular.  Come visit my friends, which include a Chihuahua mix puppy and a Schnauzer mix – but you’d better hurry!

Cute as a kitten

My foster mom named me Sue, and I’m a female calico DSH, about 4 months old. Oh, and by the way, I should warn you, I am the definition of what an “especially adorable” kitten is!

It was so fun to live in a foster home with my brothers.  We got to explore and experience new things.  Now I’m back at the shelter and ready for a permanent family.  Come visit me and the other cute kittens at the shelter!

Don't laugh at my ears!

My name is Rocky.  I’m an 8 month old male, possibly an American Bulldog/Pit Bull mix.  (Like most shelter dogs, my parentage is uncertain.  But what IS certain is I got more than my share of cute!)

I have a friendly, slightly goofy temperament, and I get along well with other dogs.  I like balls and people, too.  Yes, those are my real ears.  They’re just as fun as I am!

Huh?

They call me Whisper, which is ironic because I am deaf.  But that just means I’m more sensitive to smiles and warm laps! I’m a beautiful soft white female Domestic Short Hair, only 9 months old.   

I have a lovely temperament, too – very sweet and snuggly.  I like to perch on shoulders and give occasional kisses.  Because I have complete hearing loss, I need to be an inside-only cat.

Let's play!

My name is Poncho, and I’m a neutered male black Lab mix, about 2 years old.

I had a home until recently, when my owner turned me in rather than take me to the vet.  I didn’t mean to get hurt!

The shelter folks have taken good care of me, and now I’m ready to romp and snuggle in a new home.

Boo?

There are several myths about black cats, but in our experience as staff and volunteers at the shelter, we have found most black cats to be very affectionate and laid back.

Take Felix (please).  He is very loving and relaxed.  He loves to lay on a bed or window sill and snooze away, and he also loves playing with his best friend Charlie, who was recently adopted.

He has been at the shelter since April and has been overfed during that time because sometimes we show our love to the cats by giving them too much food.

Other black cats and kittens, like Slate, need to be adopted well before Halloween so we know that people want them for the right reasons – to love and be loved by!
