Cinnamon HAS BEEN ADOPTED! She is kind, gentle, loving and fun! Do you have an appreciation for the deepness in a dog’s eyes, that come from their soul? This girl’s eyes truly are the window to her soul. Cinnamon is very smart and food oriented. She is currently doing very well with learning to sit. She appears to be potty-trained and is coming around quickly with all of the staff, and looks forward to any attention that she gets! Weinheimer mix? Chocolate lab-ish? Hound-ish? Either way, we are sure this girl is a perfect mix of sugar, spice and everything nice. That must be why her name is Cinnamon! She is currently an Ark mascot, living in the Administrator’s office and is making the perfect one. She loves to play! She could use some work on her manners (jumping up on people, jumping up on furniture). However, with a girl so eager to please, we are certain she will make you happy quickly with some basic training and some patience. She is around 5-6 years old and weighs around 55 pounds. We are currently accepting applications for her adoption, and would be happy to put her on hold for the perfect family. Give us a call to ask more questions!

The Ark is very pleased to introduce you to the very loving five-month old Sergio, who came to us from Puerto Rico. Shy and a bit timid, Sergio will steal your heart in the blink of a large brown puppy dog eye. He enjoys the company of other canines, and loves to play with toys. We find that he is attaching quickly to staff, and likes to sit in their laps and look handsome. He appears to be a small lab mix, and would make most any family a perfect companion. We would like to see him have a quiet few days of adjustment time in his new home, as he is a bit reluctant to all of the crazy things that this life has going on! Come meet Sergio and be prepared to fall in love. We are currently accepting applications on his adoption and would be pleased to answer any questions you might have.

Meet the relaxed and charming Boots. He is a handsome tuxedo kitty that is looking for a lovely home! Thanks to our wonderful volunteers who perform behavior observations on our kitties, we have a lot of helpful information on Boots! His body posture is soft and relaxed. He approaches people and seeks contact with them. When he is touched, he sniffs, head-butts, rubs onto your hand and rolls on his back! He purrs, plays with cat charmers and lasers, and enjoys being petted everywhere! He is generally pretty outgoing and active, and accepting of handling. He is an independent kitty, content to hang out and watch what is going on. The feline observation tells us that with time, he will certainly be a “cuddler” after he becomes comfortable and adjusts with his new family. He likes to have structure with a covered bed and a nook to settle into. Please give us a call or stop in to meet the handsome Boots!

Do you enjoy confident kitties with dominant personalities who seek attention and take over the house as the pack leader? Meet Puss! Puss is very social, always in the midst of whatever his human is doing. Puss LOVES interactive toys, specifically catnip mouses, other fabric toys, cat charmers, feather wands, fabric toy wands, and lasers. Puss has a soft and relaxed body posture and enjoys other cats. He is very affectionate, and tolerates most touch and handling, although he doesn’t prefer to be picked up and carried, so might do well with a home where the children are 10+. If you approach Puss quickly, he might walk away initially, but he quickly returns to get some love! We love Puss, and are sure you will too. Come meet him!

Leah. Her name means a place of delight and beauty, and that is just the perfect comparison to this beautiful little cat. Do you like kitties that don’t require a lot of attention and just like to lie by the wood stove and look pretty? Are you an experienced cat person, with patience in allowing little shy cats to adjust? If you answered yes to those questions, Leah might be your cat. Leah is relaxed and a bit shy. She enjoys sparkly rattle toys with feathers and other interactive toys, as long as the interaction is slow. She tracks lasers, but doesn’t chase them. She can be skittish and sometimes likes to hide. When she hides, she enjoys watching what is going on with her alert, and beautiful eyes. Although she hides, she is able to be touched when hidden without a negative response. She is independent, yet settled and calm. She enjoys being touched on her head and her back. Although she accepts attention, she does enjoy being left alone. We feel she would do best in a quiet, adult environment with a patient person who will allow her time to adjust. Although we understand the concern of adopters worried that their shy kitties aren’t doing well, we also like to encourage people to take the time and be patient in letting the cats adjust after coming home. Please come meet Leah and give her a chance at happiness. We know that a lot of adopters like kitties who jump into their arms upon first meeting for “love at first sight,” but sometimes happiness and happy tails take a little bit longer, and are worth the wait.
