Big Mickey Mouses (Mickey Mice? Mickey MEECE?) We digress…Anyway…they are AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! (AKA Rats). It doesn’t take much to convince this shelter staff how wonderful rats are as pets. We simply love ’em! Rats are smart, easy to train, and are not the yucky pets you thought they might be. They spend hours during the day grooming themselves, and they love human companionship and time out of their cages to be held and crawl on your shoulder. We would like to emphasize that these furry babes are available to the right person for PETS and COMPANIONS; not anything else. If you have questions about adoption fees, or the care of these little friends, please call the shelter. *The Ark requires proof that you have an appropriate cage set-up for these pets, as we will not be releasing the rats with the shelter cage*

Stella is about a year old old, and she is so gorgeous and ready for her new home! She likes laying around with other cats. When first approached, she is a bit timid, but will let you pet her. She loves to play with other kitties! She will need some adjustment time in her new home before fully coming out of her shell, so give her some patience and a warm bed!

Her name and her face says it all, and she really lives up to her name. Foxy is hanging out with other kitties in the common room, waiting to be adopted into your arms. She recently had her feline behavior observation done, and she really put on quite a show! Foxy has soft and relaxed busy posture and and approaches and seeks contact from humans. When she is initially touched, she sniffs, head-butts, rubs on your hand, and rolls over on her back. She loves to purr, and prefers soft, gentle movements when playing with toys. She enjoys almost all human contact (being held, patted everywhere, brushed, and more). She likes to touch noses, loves attention, enjoys purring. She is very social and oriented and calm and content to just be with people. She would love to have a structure to hide in on days where she is feeling over stimulated. Come meet Foxy soon and bring her home!

Do you love kitties who love being scratched under their chin, that have a gorgeous black coat and dynamic gold eyes? Do you like independent cats, who are content to hang out and observe? Meet Cub! Don’t let Cub’s eye-yuckies deter you from adopting him. He is on medication right now and will be as good as new, soon! Cub recently had his feline behavior observation done. He was found hidden in a hidey-hole in a cat structure. He has soft and relaxed body posture, and in response to human presence, he looks and ignores. When touched, hehe sniffs and then backs away. We feels he may have been a little bit overwhelmed during the observation due to some of the changes he has had in his life. We feel he might respond to feather toys attached to a structure so he can play on his own schedule. He enjoys being touched almost everywhere, but does not particularly care to be carried around in your arms. He is able to be held for about 10 seconds before he starts meowing and trying to jump down. Cub will need 2-4 weeks to adjust and a place to hide. He will not be a cat to over-indulge with attention at the start. He will need plenty of chin-scratches and time!
