Hi… my name is Oliver,
Adopted 1-2-18
My dad “absconded” to North Carolina and left my housemates, Gizmo, Peanut, Jake, Jasper, and me behind with his father-in-law (who unfortunately was not in the market for cats!). Well I can tell you one thing, once you meet us, you’ll wonder what on earth ever possessed him, because we are five of the most lovable and “handle-able” critters you’ll ever meet! I’m a 5-year-old tabby boy, and of course having lived with other felines, I’m pretty adaptable to most any situation. I’d be perfect for an active family with kids (maybe even one with a nice calm dog), so if feline entertainment and companionship were on your “bucket list,” I’d help check that one off!

Read MoreHi… my name is Marky,
Adopted 10-6-17
It’s usually stray dogs that follow people home not cats! But me being me (outgoing and in need of shelter) I followed a girl to her home in a Green Valley RV Park, and she quite obligingly gave me food and water. Unfortunately, she couldn’t keep me, so I became a resident of TALGV. Maybe there’s someone out there looking for me (a tearful reunion would be awesome!), but if not, you could make both of us happy by adding me (and my practically non-stop purr!) to your world. At about 5 years old, I’m mature enough not to be one of those crazy, into-everything, kittens, but still up for a romp now and then. Truth be told, though, laps are my “fave” so how about sharing yours with me?

Read MoreHi… my name is Jake,
Adopted 8-18-18
When the volunteers say, “It’s MIND BOGGLING why Jake is still here! He’s one of the most outgoing friendly cats we’ve ever seen. He likes people, is really good and bonds with other cats, and loves brushing, petting, and laps.” Whoa! Now THAT’S a ringing endorsement! My dad “absconded” and left my housemates and me behind, and once you meet me, you’ll wonder what on earth ever possessed him! And of course having lived with other felines, I’m pretty adaptable, so I’d be perfect for an active family with kids (maybe even one with a nice calm dog), and if feline entertainment and companionship are on your “bucket list,” I’ll help check that one off!

Read MoreHi… my name is Franklin,
Adopted 3-11-18
“Cat found his way into our house through our doggy door – not once, but twice!! Cat is friendly, but we aren’t cat people.” Oh well, their loss (but thank you for rescuing me anyway!). You know for a cat to brave a strange doggy door, he’s got to be pretty desperate – you never know what kind of reception is waiting on the other side – so it’s pretty obvious that I’m yearning to be an indoor kind of guy who’ll never have to wonder where the next meal (or comfy lap) is coming from. I’m a smoky grey and white 3-year-old (or thereabouts!) and I’m hoping that my reward for braving “parts unknown” will be a permanent home with a family that includes lots of “cat people!”

Read MoreHi… my name is Canoa,
Adopted 9-17-17
Sometimes being sweet and adorable isn’t enough to keep you safe. I was found alone and vulnerable at the Canoa Ranch Rest Stop—very scared, hungry, with an injured hip, abrasions and lacerations. Wow. Was that really me? Today, I’m a happy guy enjoying comfy, carefree days. The volunteers say I am friendly, get along with other dogs, and I’m very fond of my people friends, too. My wounds have healed and although my hip isn’t perfect, I get around just fine. And through it all, I’ve continued to be sweet and adorable—a fawn-colored, 2-year-old Terrier mix male, 22 pounds, for whom the best is surely yet to come. And I’m hoping here’s where you come into my story, adding what I still need most—love forever and a happily-ever-after home with you.

Read MoreHi… my name is Lilo,
Adopted 9-23-17
For someone who recently gave birth to 11 puppies—yes, 11 babies in one litter!—I’m now delightfully close to feeling carefree. My human family found homes for eight of my puppies, but they were moving and couldn’t keep the rest of us, so, thank goodness, there was room for us here. We arrived hungry and I was very thin, but we soon thrived on our “three squares.” At 42 pounds, I’m now svelte in a good way—a nice size for a 2-year-old female (whose “mama days” will soon be behind her). In the past, I played well with 14- and 15-year-old kids, and here at TALGV, I’m a sweet dog to my new friends, good on a leash, and eager to find someone to love forever. Will you please be my someone?

Read MoreHi… my name is Marmalade,
Adopted 10-17-17
You know cat carriers aren’t the most comfortable places to spend much time for ONE full-grown cat -let alone three! But that’s what happened with my friends, Blackberry, Grayson, and me! The cat volunteers found us that way one morning and I can’t BEGIN to tell you how happy we all were to be released! In addition to the cramped quarters, our lovely fur was matted to the skin, so a good grooming just added to the joy of freedom! It’s hard to believe we were abandoned, as all of us are totally delightful, outgoing, people-loving boys who will spend the rest of our lives making YOURS a joy! I’m a 3-year-old orange (surprise!) tabby with so much love to give it’ll just take your breath away!
