Hi… my name is Jeffrey.

I was adopted July 20, 2014.

I guess I’m not destined to share a home with other cats (I don’t have a choice here at TALGV, but sharing “one-on-one” didn’t work out for me!). My family adopted me thinking I’d be great company for their resident cat, but we never sorted out who was going to be “top cat” and since they only had me for a month, I was the one to move on. I’m a super sweet 15-pound Russian Blue who loves cat treats (you can tell!), petting, and playing with balls, string, and feathers. I also like drinking water from a faucet or fountain, and following you around the house. And to add to my charm, they say I’m a bit bow-legged! So why not let me do my fantastic feline thing with just you and me?

Hi… my name is Sunny.

I was adopted July 15, 2014.

Several months ago I was the victim of a “hit and run” driver, but fortunately, someone DID stop and bring me here. After extensive surgery, I had to relearn how to stand, run (first!) and then walk. But that was then, and this is now, and as far as I’m concerned, I have “regular” legs just like anyone else! Okay, I might be a bit gimpy at times, but even if you think of that as a “flaw” (I don’t!), I more than make up for it in spunk and courage. I’m a Chihuahua boy whose main goal is life is to spend as much time as possible in your lap — in addition to maybe getting a few “therapeutic” massages now and then. If that sounds like a plan, I’m your man!

Hi… my name is Sugar.

Adopted October 25, 2014.

Here’s my one wish in the world: when I “grow up” I want to be a lap dog! I’m only a pup but have led a pretty hard life, so I have a lot of catching up to do! I came to TALGV with a terribly infected eye (as you can see, it’s gone now, thank goodness) and two days later presented them with my (last!) brood of babies. I’m a whip-smart, medium-to-high energy, heeler/Lab mix girl (who prefers “the ladies” to the male of the species — something from my past, they think). I have nice leash manners and will bond very quickly with my new person, so if I can find someone who can spend lots of one-on-one of time with me, my life will be complete!

Hi… my name is Daniel.

Adopted February 12, 2015

I guess the man who found me in Rancho Sahaurita wasn’t in the market for a feline companion because I sure did my best to win his heart! He kept me for two weeks hoping my owners might show up, and during that time he said, “This cat is VERY well behaved and likes to socialize and be petted. I’ve never had any problems with him — he is very friendly and loves people.” So you’ve gotta think that I belonged to someone sometime! Well, since no one came banging down his door, now it’s your turn to find out how wonderful I am! I’m a young brown tabby boy (who was already neutered when I arrived at TALGV), and I’d like to share my special brand of furry love with YOU!

Hi… my name is Reno.

I was adopted July 24, 2014.

I’ve been getting to spend time with a foster mom and she has SO many good things to say about me! She says, “Reno is an energetic, fun-loving pup. He spends a good deal of time with our two big, female dogs, and he plays well and respects them. He’s crate-trained and “almost” housebroken.” She says I’m a “busy” boy (well, I’m still a puppy!), so I have a lot of energy to burn off (another dog to play with and a lively family would help with that!), but when I’m done, I really “crash!” They’re saying that I’m probably a Doxie/Chihuahua mix, but I think there’s some Min Pin “going on” too as I’ve got a lot of typical terrier energy. So if you’re into an active lifestyle, I want to join you!

Hi… my name is Donny.

I was adopted August 20, 2014.

Here’s a hint for all you lost kittens (and cats!) out there: Sit on someone’s doorstep and cry your little heart out! Works every time! That’s what landed me and my sister, Marie (who’s already gone on to bigger and better things in her own new life) here at TALGV. We were found in the Los Arboles Trailer Park, so heaven only knows where we started out in life. At any rate, now that I’m here, I’m checking the visitors out every day trying to catch an eye and finagle a place of MY very own in their home and heart. I’m a darling, grey and white boy, and if you’ve ever had a kitten charm your socks off, you’ll know what you’re in for with me!

Hi… my name is Tigger.

Adopted October 8, 2014.

There are a lot of folks that move to Arizona FROM Wisconsin, but my family is making the move in reverse, and unfortunately there isn’t going to be room there for me and my other feline family. My mom said that I love belly rubs (if you say “tickle tickle” I’ll lie down and turn over for you!), that I got along with the dogs that lived with us, and that I’m very “bold and outgoing.” I’m a classic tabby and white boy, about 2 years old, and although I was an “indoor/outdoor” cat for most of my life, I’m looking forward to spending my time being a “homebody” with a family who will let me watch the world from the safety of a window or a porch. Won’t you give me that chance?

Hi… my name is Lucie Lu.

I was adopted July 20, 2014.
Thank goodness for Good Samaritans! I was just about to be taken to “the pound” by my owner (because he was unable to walk me any longer!), when a TALGV volunteer overheard the conversation and convinced him to relinquish me to him. That was MY lucky day, I can tell you! I’m a healthy, happy, smart, and affectionate  yellow Lab mix lady (with endearing Shar Pei-like ears!), and everyone agrees that I’ll be a wonderfully loving companion who will adapt beautifully to an active family. I don’t bark (at least no one has heard me yet!), am good with kids, and other dogs, so what’s stopping you? I know that if you come down to meet me you’ll be able to see all my sterling attributes for yourself!

Hi… my name is Thumper.

I was adopted July 27, 2014.

When your dad works for the Border Patrol, I guess you have to be prepared to move around a bit. Well, I was ready to go, but unfortunately, the place where dad was transferred didn’t allow pets, so he very sadly had to give me up. He said, “Thumper is a great dog, well behaved, smart, and loving, and I would have taken him with me in a heartbeat if I’d been able.” I know LOTS of commands — sit, stay, shake, speak, kennel (or “house”) — am perfectly house and leash trained (and have good “recall” even off leash), so you know I come with lots of super “bona fides.” I’m a young Rottie/shepherd mix boy who just wants another person (or an active family) to shower my affection on.

Hi… my name is Coal.

Adopted December 29, 2014.

When my family took off for Wisconsin, they left a lot of cats behind, and I (with my two babies) was one of them. Happily, I got to live with a foster mom while I raised them, and did she ever take care of US! I’ll let her tell you how she felt: “These cats are the most agreeable, well-adjusted, other-pet-friendly cats I’ve had the pleasure to foster. Coal is very sweet and the ‘mother of all mothers,’ is tolerant with big dogs, and loves people.” I’m a striking, golden-eyed, solid black lady (in every sense of the word), who is yearning for a stable, loving home where I can be feel at ease again. If you can provide that, you’d make me (and my foster mom) ever so happy!
