Hi… my name is Violet.
Adopted October 23, 2014.
When I arrived at TALGV it was obvious that I was soon to be a mom, so I went to live with a foster mom until I gave birth and raised my babies. Happily, that’s all done now, and it’s MY turn to sit in the spotlight (with no other cats or dogs please)! My foster mom said that I’m a “total lap kitty” and want to be where people are (apparently I’m a lot like a dog in that respect!). As an added bonus, I don’t like wet food, so that’s one more plus for me — no expensive canned food to buy! I’m a lovely violet-grey tabby lady, and I know you’ll cheer the day you made me the light of your life!

Hi… my name is Charcoal.
I was adopted on August 17, 2014.
My family lost their home and had to move in with a relative who had a lot of ginormous dogs that weren’t the least bit cat friendly. To add to the upheaval in my life, I was pregnant when I arrived, so went to live with a foster mom until my babies were born, raised, and off on their own. So finally it’s MY turn to sit in the spotlight! I’m a playful, sweet youngster with glossy black fur who loves kids, to be chucked under the chin, and just be near you. And in addition to my personality, remember that black is slimming so holding me will make you look extra slender!
Read MoreHi… my name is Abbie.
Adopted September 21, 2014.
If you’ve ever navigated the intersection of Abrego Drive and Continental Road on foot, you’ll appreciate how terrified I was to be roaming there for two weeks! The neighbors finally convinced me that there was a lot better place for me to be, and here I am! I’m still pretty nervous about things (the leash most of all, but I’m learning) but other than that, I’m a quiet, calm girl and welcome human contact with its attendant pets and belly rubs. I’m a 7-month-old shepherd/heeler mix and weigh 22 pounds, so I’m going to be one of those “just the perfect size” dogs when I’m grown. Being here in the safety of my room, I’m sure it won’t be long before my days on the streets will be just a distant memory.
Read MoreHi… my name is Colby.
Adopted January 6, 2015.
If a kitten running around doing things that kittens do (like chasing a mouse on a string or making mad dashes at “ghosts”!) stress you out, then I’m not for you! The man who adopted me had me for only two weeks and said that I was too “needy and dependent,” so even though I thought I’d found the perfect home, it didn’t work out. I arrived at TALGV as an infant, so a foster “mom” took care of my needs until I was okay on my own. I guess that’s why I enjoy human company so much (and I’ve also had lots of playmates here to revel with!), so I’m not your laid-back, sedentary guy. What I am is a solid black shorthaired boy who promises nonstop entertainment and love!

Hi… my name is Cheddar.
I was adopted on August 31, 2014.
There sure have been a lot of needy kittens lately! You know spring and summer are always “kitten and puppy seasons,” but there have been a lot more abandoned or orphaned infants found this year than usual. In my case, my mom was frightened off by dogs, and although the owner waited a few days, she never came back, so my siblings and I got to come to TALGV where a foster parent took care of my “needs” until I was okay on my own. Now that I’m self-sufficient (and growing by leaps and bounds!), I’m way past ready to move on to a “Life of Riley” that will make up for my less-than-auspicious start in life. I’m am orange tabby boy who promises to be the light of your life!

Hi… my name is Bruno.
I was adopted on August 9, 2014.
It’s hard to tell my story when all anyone knows is that I was found on Nogales Highway and had to be coaxed into a crate (I was mighty frightened, I can tell you!). But since the volunteers have been working with me and gotten to know me better, they agree that I’m a young, happy-go-lucky guy who seeks out other dogs for friends, and on walks I get along with other dogs bopping along beside me (sometimes dogs like to walk with just their person, you know!). They say I’m always smiling, would make a wonderful companion, and would probably be great with kids as well. I’m a young, medium to high energy, Staffie mix boy who wants to forget his past and get on with this business of life!

Hi… my name is Jasper.
Adopted August 15, 2015
After my mom died, I hoped that her family would be able to take me in, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. I came from a “one person/one cat” household (there was a small dog that I got along fine with however), so I’m a rather laid back, quiet, and shy guy when there a lot of people around. I was great with my mom, though, and was okay with the volunteers when they did all that essential “intake stuff” to me (shots, nail clipping and the like), so I’ll bet if I find another quiet, older person who’s looking for a companion to make life less lonely, I’d adjust to a new home just fine. It might take me a while, but in the end, I know we’ll be the best of friends.
Jasper is eligible for TALGV’s Vet Care for Life Program.

Read MoreHi… my name is Bear.
Adopted April 18, 2015/
Six years ago, my dad rescued me from a home in a trailer park when the family was being evicted and planned to leave me in the desert. Thank heavens for him! Unfortunately, his circumstances have changed and he can no longer keep me, so he prevailed on TALGV to find me one last, big-black-Lab-loving home. The folks here say that although I’ve got a way to go in the formal training department, I yearn to spend my time having lots of “people contact.” I walk well on a leash (with anyone who’ll take me for a spin!), and get along okay with other dogs (there were five of them in my other home), so if you want a guy who craves attention and to join you in your daily activities, I’d be the perfect fit!
Bear comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.
Arrived April 29, 2014.
