Smokey, 152740

Smokey is a very sweet and personable cat who has a deformed right front leg- an xray revealed he lacks a bone in his forearm. His uniqueness sets him apart from the pack- he truly is one in a million! Smokey was surrendered to us in January when his owner left town; he has previously lived with another cat. Smokey is an affectionate and cuddly boy who’s become a favorite of staff and volunteers. This terrific 3 ½ year old boy deserves a great home- adoption fee is reduced as a longterm cat to $39.50 and includes his vet exam, Rabies vaccine, spay/neuter, tattoo and more!

Toby, 158082

Toby is one of our mature cats available for adoption; we currently have ~15 cats aged 7 years+ who need good homes. Toby was surrendered to us in April when his owners moved out of the country; this handsome boy is 11 years old, FIV & FeLV negative and longing for a family again. Senior cat adoption fee is $40.00 and includes their spay/neuter, vet exam, pet insurance and more!
