Gentille is Sweet and Petite

Gentille is a Sweetheart Who Seeks A Warm Lap

Gentille is Stunning, Sweet, and Petite My name is Gentille, which is French for nice, kind, lovely.  I am all that and more. I am a petite (7 pounds), stunning girl.  My white coat has some very special tiger markings and I have the most amazing tail known to feline kind:  it is striped and beautiful.  I know for a fact there is not a more beautiful or striking cat in the entire world. Despite my beauty, I am not looking for a life filled with high-society parties.  Not at all.  I am seeking a quiet household with a warm lap or two (or three) to lounge on. Men, women, it doesn't matter as long as your laps are warm and inviting and I get a lot of petting and kisses. As you will learn when we meet, I can never resist cuddling with someone …

Vanna is no Game Show Diva

Don't Buy a Vowel, Adopt Vanna

Vanna Says Come on Down and Adopt Me Hi, I am Vanna.  Like that other Vanna of game show fame, I am lithe and elegant.  Unlike her, I don’t have an endless variety of lovely gowns.  But, as you will discover, I’m no less stunning in my own original, satiny grey tortie ensemble.   Yes, I am a definite show stopper. Besides being beautiful, I am affectionate, calm and mellow.  You can pick me up and carry me around and I won’t complain.  I also love when you pet or brush me.  Or, I could find a great spot near you to sit in the sun and doze.  I am easy to please.  Beauty, talent, and poise, I have it all in the best combination.  Human Vanna White, eat your heart out.  Of course, these days, I don’t get much time on television.  Instead, I …

Will You Adopt Penguin?

Penguin is a fuzzy kitten, not a bird in a tuxedo.

Hello, my name is Penguin and I'm a lively, six-month-old kitten. My markings may remind my foster of a real penguin, but I much prefer a warm, snuggly place with you to an ice floe in Antarctica or a beach in the Galapagos. Actually, I was brought in from the cold outdoors when I was only 12 weeks old, so I do have outdoor experience and I can tell you now that I'm done with that. Life indoors on the warm and cozy side of the window pane is the life for me. Here on the inside, I find that toys are the most fun. I can’t resist anything on a string, any catnip mouse, and that red dot that always seems to get away. And, I am finding people more and more interesting. They all ooh and ahh over my adorable fluffiness (who knew I was so cute?). …

Take Home A Real Sweetheart in Beary

Beary is Sweet as Honey

Adopt Beary and Take Home a Real Sweetheart Everyone loves me.  I can tell that because they all say how cute and sweet I am. Some call me a doll, which frankly, is not so appropriate since I am a dog and a boy one at that.  But they are right about me being special.  Who wouldn’t love me?  I am small in stature (the size of a very large cat) and big in heart.  I just love meeting everyone because I adore people.  I am always ready to play, to follow you around, to be your friend and to do doggie things with you.  Did I say that I love people?  I do. You may be wondering how a nice dog, like me, ended up homeless.  My story is sad, so you better sit down and pull out a hankie.  I was (and still am) very much loved by two wonderful people…

Jax Wants to Share His Big Heart With You

Will you adopt this friendly feline?

Jax Needs a Loving Home If I look sad in my photo, it is because I really want to have a home of my own again.  I am a young and healthy guy who loves people.  I loved my former people right up until they brought home a Great Dane puppy.  Yeah, puppies are cute.  But do you know how big that cute thing got?  I can’t even describe it.  I’m sure he was a good guy, but I was way too intimidated to find out.  Having to deal with my fear of the dog made my life quite stressful and so we all decided it would be best if I found a new home.  Enough of the sad stuff because I am not letting that define my life. Let me tell you instead how wonderful I am.  First and foremost, I am a handsome, white cat with dark grey patches.  Ok, I am a bit portly…

Mr. O'Malley Wants to Be Your Valentine.

Will You be Mr. O'Malley's Valentine?

Mr. O’Malley Wants to Be Yours on Valentine’s Day and Forever Boy, am I ever lucky to be the featured cat this week because Valentine’s Day is coming up and I am going to be your sweetheart.  As those NECCO hearts say: “Sweet Talk” “Love You”  “Be Mine” “4-ever”. Aren’t I charming?  I am a handsome young boy with short, glossy black hair and a cute bobtail (which makes me and extra special kitty).  True to the bobtail breed, I am playful and very people-oriented.  I am not above demanding your attention with a meow or a tug at your toes. My name is Mr. O’Malley.  But, please don’t confuse me with the O’Malley the Alley Cat of Disney’s Aristocats!   I don’t “got that wanderlust” nor do I want to “kick up the highway dust.” I’m looking for …

Lightning Needs a Loving Home

Will you adopt this sweet cat?

My name is Lightning and I am a stunning, young cat who is more than ready to get some me time. I don’t know why they call me Lightning, because if I am fast, it is only because I have been dashing after kittens. Babies, babies, babies, oh my. Mine were lovely, but I am so done with being a mother. Now I want someone to mother me. What do I mean by mothering me? Well, I love to be patted. I love to be scratched behind my ears and stroked from my neck all the way down to my tail. I am so sleek and smooth your hand will glide right over me like, well, like lightning. Maybe we can even make a few sparks on dry days.  When we meet, I hope you will take the time to get to know me because I can be shy at first. But once I have scoped you out, I …

Winter is a Warm and Loving Adolescent

Will you adopt this friendly cat?

My name is Winter, but I am not the least bit like that season. I am all spring, sweet and happy and loving, the kind of kitty who will sit on your lap and purr and purr. The kind of girl who likes to be scratched, rubbed, and petted in all those good cat spots (ears, chin, neck, etc.). In this very cold end of January, I am a tiger who will bring a lot of warmth into your home.  Did I say tiger? Not a real one silly! I am actually a torbie because of my range of colors (orange, brown, grey, cream) mixed with tiger stripes. Did I mention I am young? Maybe 8 months old. Some would say that is an awkward age, stuck between childhood and adulthood. But I would say it is the perfect age. I have all the energy and fun of a kitten, but I am …

Striker Needs a Loving Home

Will you adopt this sweet cat?

Striker is Goofy and Fun, with Movie Star Charisma Striker is my name, but sweetness is my game. That is right, I am a beautiful, adorable, handsome, sweet, funny, and loads of fun. Oh, I am also a very modest guy, so I won’t toot my own horn. I will just let you look at my pictures. I can be goofy, or serious, or very chill as you can see. That is me, all me. Ok, I am not a small guy. But hey, there is lots of me to love. I like my kibble and I like it often. I will sit, patiently shifting my weight from right to left and squinting my eyes at you until you get the message and give me a treat. I want your attention, true. But, I want that treat even more, thank you very much. I also love, love, love to be held. If you pick me up, I will …

Fudgecicle is Sweet and a Real Treat

Fudgecicle is Sweet and a Real Treat

Fudgecicle could be your Dream Treat Hi everyone.  My name is Fudgecicle, but you can call me Fudge, for short.  As you can see, I am not a good speller.  But I think I got my name because I am all brown like the frozen treat called a fudgesicle.  Or maybe it was because I am extremely sweet, if a bit fuzzy.  I am also quite unique with my medium-length, fine hair with no undercoat.  You will be amazed by how soft and silky I am. Besides my beauty (and let’s not discount that), I am a very easy kitty to have around.  I can be initially cautious, and will most likely hide in a new environment or around new people.  But you can pull me out of my hiding spot and I won’t even complain.  Once I feel safe (give me ten or so minutes), I will be …
