A bonded pair looking for their forever home.
These two handsome boys may not look like brothers, but don’t let their different looks fool you—they are a true bonded pair who love to wrestle, play, and keep each other company. They’re proof that family isn’t always about looking alike.
Mr. Butters is an orange domestic longhair with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. He is the definition of sweet, affectionate, and gentle. He loves attention and has the kind of personality that makes you want to scoop him up and cuddle him.
Sylvester is a handsome black-and-white gentleman with plenty of personality. He is dapper, confident, and absolutely knows how handsome he is! He loves showing off his good looks and brings fun, charming energy to the pair.
Together, they are the perfect combination. Mr. Butters is the soft-hearted sweetheart, while Sylvester is the distinguished gentleman. They may have very different personalities, but they compliment each other beautifully.

Meet Jerry!
Jerry is a sweet, timid boy who is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. He may be shy when you first meet him, but underneath that nervous exterior is a gentle soul who is hoping to find someone willing to help him come out of his shell.
Jerry will need patience, understanding, and plenty of love as he learns to trust. He may take some time to feel comfortable, but every little step forward will be incredibly rewarding. With a calm environment, a kind heart, and someone willing to let him move at his own pace, Jerry has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion.
If you’re willing to open your heart and give this wonderful dog the patience and love he deserves, Jerry may be the perfect match. He is ready to find his person and, with a little help, show the world the happy dog hiding inside.

Mickey & Minne were adopted in May of 2026. In July, we got this great update from them and we had to share it!
“We have been living in our Forever Home for exactly two months today, and we wanted to share how we’re getting on here!
We have 4 windows, on three sides, so that we can lay in the sunshine from dawn til dark, We have 2 cats trees, a bureau, and a desk to lay on.
Our Servant feeds us delicious cans every morning and evening; bisque or stew for lunch; and crunchy treats every other day. We also get catnip and have thousands of toys to play with. Our Servant plays with us until we get tired out and have to go and nap.
We have explored every possible nook and cranny, and have found at least 100 places to hide when we’re feeling shy or overwhelmed. It has been a transition for us, getting used to a new place and our Servant, but we all live peacefully now.”
“Thank you all at The Ark for rescuing us, giving us a place to live, and finding us a Forever home and a Servant to fulfill our every need.”
“This is the perfect life for a pair of kitties.”
Congratulations on finding your forever home, Mickey & Minnie! Your Ark family is so happy for you.
Have your own Happy Tail to share?
Your updates remind everyone why this work matters. Share your story and help us celebrate the animals who found their way home!
