Orange Sherbert
Breed: Domestic Longhair/ Mix
Gender: Female
Age: Elderly
Orange Sherbert is a sweet, sweet girl who was left at the shelter with her sister, Vanilla, to find a new home. Sherbert is affectionate, playful, cuddly, and like to be groomed and play with laser lights. She is a little more cautious than her sister, and likes give strangers a quick once-over before turning her charm on full blast. Orange Sherbert would love to go home with her sister, otherwise she would be fine being the only cat in a quiet household that wants to smother her with attention. She is just 12-years-old, spayed, and ready to go home with her new family today!

Snookums
Breed: Himalayan/ Mix
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Hi my name is Snookums and I'm a cream and brown female Himalayan. I am about 8 years old, right at a good age don't you think? I am a rather shy, independent cat. Feed me, keep my litter box clean and tell me that I'm a beautiful cat and I'm happy. At my foster mom's I like to find a spot back in a corner to sleep. At least that's what I have her think. We won't tell her what I do when she's out and about:) Later in the afternoon I come out and sit on a high spot and watch the goings on. I'll let you in on a couple of secrets about me: I would really prefer to be in a household with no more than one other cat. We probably won't ever be 'buds' but as long as he/she doesn't get in my space we will be just fine. And my foster mom can tell you that I go out of my way to give other cats their space. However, I can hold my own with another cat. A home with no cats would be ideal. Now what was the other secret I was going to tell you??...Oh ya... l would like my forever home to be a 'low keyed' quiet place. So if your home is an active place it probably wouldn't be a good fit. If you are looking for a beautiful, independent cat and I sound like the one for you then call my foster mom at 503-388-8097 and we can set up a time to meet.

Pilaf
Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Young
My name is Pilaf, and I am currently in foster care. If you are interested in me, contact my foster mom, Katie, at [email protected] to learn more about me and set up a time to meet me Like most kittens my age, my favorite things to do are eating, playing, and snuggling. I even enjoy being picked up and held too. I like to give new things a good sniff, and for some reason my foster family calls me a puppy-cat because of it. I had a rough start in life, and because of that I like to play it safe and am shy when I meet new people or animals, but with reassurance and love (and toys!) I quickly warm up. Since life was scary for me at first, I am a sensitive guy which means I love to cuddle and be close, but I'm scared of sudden movements and noises so I should go to a stable, quiet home without small children. But I do love to play, and my favorite toy is felt mice, do you have any?! I am about 4 months old, just started my vaccination series, and will be neutered before I go to my forever home. My foster mom says life is supposed to be fun, won't you show me the good life, too? More information here
Carolina
Breed: Chihuahua/ Jack Russell Terrier
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Hi there, my name is Carolina, but I am no southern belle! I am a spitfire of a little gal looking for a home with children over the age of 8, preferably another dog who can handle my energy, and maybe a dog savy cat! When I get excited and play, I can be a bit mouthy. I like to chase the cat, but my foster mom is working on training me to stop before I catch it! When I came to the shelter I had mange and a bad skin infection, I am almost all healed now! The shelter will help with follow up on skin care as part of my adoption. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact the shelter at 503-988-7387 or email [email protected]!
