Lexi came to The Ark in 2011, and it didn’t take long for her to decide exactly who she wanted to go home with. When her adopter sat on the floor to meet her, she walked straight into his lap and made herself at home, the kind of instant connection you never forget.
Fourteen years later, Lexi is still deeply loved and continues to bring joy, comfort, and companionship to her family. Her adopter shared this story about the day she chose him, and the life they’ve shared ever since.
In the family’s own words…
“A beautiful one-year-old tuxedo named Lexi ran straight into my lap and into my heart. She adopted me on October 30, 2011. She has brought nothing but pleasure to me these last 14 years, and I hope for at least 14 more.”
“What a beautiful place with great staff and residents. I donate because they’re so kind and generous.”

Billy and Bobby are a sweet, loving, and playful pair who bring out the best in each other. Whether they’re chasing toys, cuddling up for a nap, or exploring together, their bond is clear in everything they do. They share a special connection that makes them both happier and more confident when they’re together. Because of their close friendship and the joy they bring to one another, we would love for Billy and Bobby to find a forever home as a bonded pair, where they can continue to share their love and playful spirit side by side
Where Billy and Bobby are still young, they have not yet had their rabies vaccine and have yet to be neutered (dates are set). Due to this, Billy and Bobby would have to go home under a foster to adopt contract until they are neutered and have their shots. Once those are both done then we are able to finalize the adoption!

Bella is an 8-year-old cat who has truly mastered the art of relaxation. She loves to just hang out—whether that’s lounging in a sunny window, curling up on a favorite blanket, or silently supervising the room from her chosen perch. Bella enjoys affection, but strictly on her terms; she’ll happily soak up pets and scratches, but only when she decides it’s time. If you’re lucky enough to be chosen, she’ll lean into your hand with a quiet purr of approval. Independent yet affectionate, Bella is the perfect mix of chill and charm
