Hi… my name is Harley.

I was adopted June 14, 2014.

You know siblings don’t always get along (I guess sometimes the human ones don’t either!), and that’s why I ended back at TALGV where I started out. My family adopted my brother and me together when we were puppies, figuring we’d be great pals. Sadly, as we aged, dominant personalities emerged in us both so life was not exactly serene for the family. I love people though, am a great watchdog, and have had obedience and crate training, so I really am a pretty well behaved guy when my brother isn’t around. I don’t do well with little kids (they are a bit too “grabby” sometimes), and I am definitely not a “water dog” (swimming pools and all that running around make me a bit jumpy), but with a calm (but active) family, I’ll be a model companion. Why not give me the chance to prove myself?

Hi… my name is Mike.

My sister, Julia, and I were returned to TALGV because our dad’s new fiancé and son-in-law were allergic to cats. (I sure do wish someone would develop an “anti-cat-allergy” pill, ‘cause that seems to be an all-too-frequent occurrence.) I lived with him all my life and he said, “This is a great cat. He is very loving, likes his belly scratched, and comes when called.” Hey, what more could you want in a feline? I’m a young orange and white tabby who, like lots of us marmalade guys, is very outgoing and affectionate (seems to be a breed thing!), so I know that I’ll make a wonderfully warm and furry (and endlessly entertaining) addition to your life. I’ll bet if you could see your way clear to take Julia, too, we’d double your pleasure without even twitching a whisker! My motto has always been “the more the merrier” and I’m hoping it’s yours, too!

Hi… my name is Bailey June.

My family (which included two kids ages 10 and 12) said that I’m “very playful, loving, and cuddles a lot,” so that gives you an idea of how much I like critters of the human kind. My canine housemate, however, was a different story, and he and I didn’t get along well at all, so if there’s a home with an active family out there that’s missing the companionship of a devoted friend, then I know I can fill that void! I’m a tan and white Staffie mix girl, who, although I spent a good deal of time outdoors, would very much like to be a part of your everyday life indoors, too. Being still very much a youngster, you know that I’m chock full of energy and eager to learn new things, so I know I’ll have the basics of indoor living down in a flash. Why don’t you be the one to teach me?

Hi… my name is Denim,

Adopted 11-5-16

My sister, Paisley, and I came from a home that had lots and lots of animals, and unfortunately our people just couldn’t take care of us any longer. I’m a charming young orange tabby boy who still has lots of all that wonderful playful behavior that makes us younguns so appealing. If you call me, I’ll be more than happy to bounce over to greet you in exchange for a pat on the head. I love being petted and will push my head right into your hand and then turn around so that you can give all the rest of me some attention, too! I’m pretty darn cute if I do say so myself, so won’t you give me a chance to make you smile?

Arrived 9-17-13

Hi… my name is Tegure.

I was adopted April 30, 2014.

Yes, I have an odd name, but everyone is just calling me “Tigger” — guessing that’s how you pronounce it. No one knows its origin since my mom went into memory care and the caregiver who brought me here didn’t really know a whole lot about me. Suffice it to say, I’m a sweetheart — an orange tabby boy with the most striking sea blue eyes (they’re pretty unusual for a marmalade boy whose eye-color is usually orange or yellow, so you know I’m really a special guy!). I’ve been enjoying the attentions of the volunteers, but truth be told, I’d really rather be in a place of my own again. Since I lived with an older mom, I would probably like that kind of home again, but I’m still basically a youngster, so am probably pretty adaptable. I’m hoping you’d like to help me do just that, so come sit and talk to me!

Hi… my name is Sara.

Sara probably isn’t my real name, because my dad died and amidst the hubbub in the house, I managed to escape and the Realtor who rescued me didn’t know a whole lot about my background. What we can tell you is that I am a real “purrpot” who loves to be held, have my chin and ears scratched, and will be your new best friend when you make me yours. I’m a young and lovely example of the classic tabby and white breed — although a fairly common one, we’re known for our winning ways and UNcommon affection. I must tell you that I’m a little overwhelmed here at the moment with all the other felines around, so I’m hoping that my shining personality will win me a place in your heart really soon. You’ll never know unless you visit me, so come have a seat — I’ll do the rest!

Hi… my name is Mandy.

Adopted December 28, 2014.

After my dad died over a year ago, I came to TALGV with my brother, Rusty. Since we’d been together all our lives and rely on each other for comfort and company, the volunteers would like to see us adopted together. Sadly, our mom has recently had to have surgery and she can no longer care for us, so we’re back looking for a home that will take us both again. I’m a lovely grey and white lady who is very loving, gets attached to my owner, and likes to crawl on laps and cuddle. They say I also need to have some blankets around, as I love to sleep completely covered underneath them. I may be a bit shy at first, but I warm up once I know you, and having Rusty around would help me in that department, too. I’ll bet your life would be a lot brighter with two gentle sweethearts like us!

Hi… my name is Bundles.

I was adopted September 21, 2014.

Circumstances have dictated that my mom has to move to a tiny place where there won’t be room for my feline friends, Licorice and Swiper, or me. That’s really sad, because I’ve lived with her most of my life, and I really loved being with my two housemates, too. I’m a dark grey Schnauzer mix gentleman, who has been around kids and is very gentle with them. I know a few basic commands, love to play fetch and to run and play with you (my age is no detriment to my energy!), am a great watchdog (I lived outside a lot), and in general I’m a great companion. Although I don’t have perfect house manners, I know how to use a doggie door and am crate trained, so a little help in that area should be all I need to make me an your indoor buddy. Why not come see for yourself how sweet I am?

P.S. Because of my age I qualify for TALGV’s Senior Vet-Care-for-Life program.

Hi… my name is Benny.

I was adopted August 25, 2014.

When my mom died, a neighbor called TALGV and they came to rescue my two feline friends, Sylvester, Tabster, and my canine pal, Flicka from our home. We were really glad for that, as who knows where we might have ended up had she not intervened. I’m a handsome, medium-haired solid black boy, and having lived with other cats and a dog, I’d probably fit into just about any kind of household (I don’t remember whether there were kids around, but I’ll bet that if they were gentle with me, I’d be okay with them, too). The volunteers here say that I’m affectionate (just take it easy with me at first) and love being petted so I’m betting that I’d bring an undeniable joie de vivreto your life! My other friends have all been adopted so it’s my turn now!

Hi… my name is Dinah.

I was adopted by my friends at TALGV. I am the official Cat Care Mascot.

My two feline friends, Luella, Bobby Cat, and I had to come to TALGV to find new homes because our mom had developed such severe allergies that she could hardly breathe. Our little home was busy as can be with four kids (ranging in age from 7 to 9 months!) and two dogs, so you can be certain that we are adaptable, gentle and tolerant cats. I’m a beautiful, chubby, declawed, longhaired calico lady and my mom said, “Dinah is very laid back, sweet and loving, and she will purr whenever you pet her.” The only “problem” behavior that she cited was that I got on the furniture, but to my mind, that’s really where I should be — right there next to (or on!) you. Because of my age, I qualify for TALGV’s Vet Care for Life program, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t make me your own right now!

Hi… my name is Galaxy.

My mom, Luna, my siblings, and I were found under the floorboards of a trailer in Sahuarita. No one knew how long we’d been there, but mom did her best to take care of us (without much help from humans I must say!), so we were a little skittish when we first arrived. Well that’s a thing of the past, and since I’ve gotten “three squares” and lots of attention, I’ve turned into an outgoing boy with a peaceful spirit and a lot of love to give.  I’m a charming, young shorthaired, brown tabby boy (yes, I’ve spent a good bit of time here and I’m really ready for my “forever home”), so I’m hoping for a special someone who’ll help me forget what it was like to be on my own and show me what a  “real” life is like. Are you just around the corner?

Hi… my name is Aurora.

My mom, Luna, and my siblings, Galaxy, Stardust, and I were found under the floorboards of a trailer in Sahuarita. No one knows how long we’d been there, but mom did her best to take care of us (without much help from humans I must say!), so we’re all a little skittish at the moment. Now that we’re here though, we’re getting “three squares” and lots of attention — the stuff they call “socialization” — so I’m sure that with all that TLC it won’t be long before we’re ready to forget about the big outdoors and move into nice quiet homes where we can be safe and loved. I’m a beautiful young grey tabby girl, and I’m looking for that special someone who’ll help me forget what it was to be on my own. Are you just around the corner?
