Hi… my name is Rosie Posie.

Adopted June 30, 2015

After I was discovered under a rosebush with five newborn kittens, the homeowner was nice enough to let me stay there until we were old enough to go to a TALGV foster home. Even though I’ve been a really good mama in raising my kids, I’m still glad that I’ve made my last contribution to the kitten world and can now find a place of my own! I’m a youngster myself at only 18 months or so, so I’ll undoubtedly spend lots of time exploring, playing, and doing my best to entertain you. I know that many cats think the world out there holds a lot of charm (the old “grass is greener” syndrome), but I know better — and will be happy to say farewell to “freedom” in a new home with you!

Hi… my name is Blue,

Adopted April 10, 2016

When you come to shelter with ten other cats, all of which are black (except one!), you figure your chances at getting adopted are petty slim! Well, I’m hoping that TALGV is the special place it is and proves that concept wrong by making sure our attributes and individual virtues are “out there” for all to see! We came from an overcrowded situation, so we’re all keeping pretty low profiles at the moment, but in no time our “real selves” are sure to emerge. I’m said to be very playful (not all of us know how to do that yet it seems!), am 14 months old, with white on my chest and “bikini area,” and am looking for someone special to whisk me away to a new life!

Hi… my name is Ollie.

Adopted 3-4-17

When you come to shelter with ten other black cats, you figure your chances at getting adopted might be pretty slim! Well, I’m hoping that TALGV is the special place that proves that concept wrong by making sure our attributes and individual virtues are “out there” for all to see! We came from an overcrowded situation, so we’re all keeping pretty low profiles at the moment, but in no time our “real selves” are sure to emerge. None of us have had a lot of “play experience,” but the volunteers are teaching us that that really is a thing that cats do, so we’re all trying to get the hang of being the friendly, outgoing felines we were born to be. If you could help me in that endeavor, I’d be ever so grateful!

Hi… my name is Makumbo.

Adopted April 24, 2016

I’ll bet you didn’t know that “makumbo” means “legs” in the Shona language! And I’ll also bet that my mom didn’t know that I’d grow up to fit that name perfectly either! I’m a sleek, velvety black long-legged boy who came to TALGV from an overcrowded situation along with ten other black cats. At first I was pretty shy, but now that I’ve been here a while, the volunteers are showing me that the social life really is the best life, and I look forward to visitors who’ll sit in my room and get lost in my luxuriously soft coat and delightful persona. Turns out it only took attention, affection, and a little patience to transform me, so why not help me continue my metamorphosis on your lap?

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Hi… my name is Little Boy.

We came from an overcrowded situation, so we’re all keeping pretty low profiles at the moment, but in no time our “real selves” are sure to emerge. I’m said to be very mellow and easygoing (what some humans “of a certain age” might call a “cool dude”!), my fur is really called “black smoke” because of its white undercoat, and am looking for someone special to whisk me away to a new life!
