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.

Do you like fluffy, pretty kitty cats? Meet Bebe! She enjoys relaxation and soft beds. She would really like to spend her winter curled up next to you, and her boyfriend, Boots, who she met at the shelter. They have fallen in love, but who is to blame them? Boots is a pretty handsome guy too. The good news is: They were adopted together!!

Boots and his girlfriend Bebe were adopted together! Do you like cats with TONS of personality? Cats that make you laugh, and keep you entertained? Well then, my friends: Meet Boots! Boots enjoys playing with paper bags, twitching his tail, cuddling with his girlfriend Bebe, and playing with toys. Although much older than Bebe, with his mitten-paws, good looks, and personality-plus, it’s really no wonder why Bebe picked him for a boyfriend! Boots loves other kitties, and he has a heart of gold. He might be nearly ten years old, but you would never guess it! He is a handsome domestic long hair tabby with white markings. He has a funny looking walk, but it’s probably a combination of obesity and what the vet to believes possible arthritis. He doesn’t let that stop him from loving life and looking for his home!

Mama Kitty is so pretty and she knows it! When you come in to meet her you will see her “strut her stuff.” She likes to rub up against objects, chill-ax in her cat tree, purr, bask in the sunlight, and show off her good looks. She is a Domestic Long Hair Calico, born 02/05/2014. As you can see, she has stunning caramel orange streaking through her beautiful face. If you are interested in meeting the regal Mama Kitty, come on into the Ark and see her!

Meet Henry! Handsome as heck, and awaiting a home to call his own with someone who is patient. Henry is a bit timid, but has come a long way since being here at the shelter. Shy cats like Henry are tame and genuinely enjoy the presence of people in calm, familiar settings, but tend to be skittish about being handled unless done on their own terms. Instant lap cats they’re not. Please, someone give him time! Time and effort invested by even one kind person can help “scaredy cats” blossom. Henry was born in July of 2018. He is healthy and waiting for someone to give him a chance. He also does well with other kitties!

SAM WAS ADOPTED! Meet Sam, who loves the presence of other kitty cats. He enjoys laying in a warm bed, and getting attention. He would do well with being the only kitty, but he would also do well being with other kitties! He was born in June of 2007. We would love to have someone come in and meet him, and bring him home with them. He is such a sweet cat! Please come meet Sam!
