Jelly Bean

Hi… my name is Jelly Bean,

PERMANENT FOSTER AS OF 12-31-24

Eleven years! That’s how long I’ve been waiting for a home of my own! Because I didn’t appreciate living with other cats, I had that unacceptable “bad behavior” and no one was willing to take a chance that I’d be okay in a home. Well, a wonderful foster mom did take that chance, and I’ve been a perfectly behaved, loving companion to her. I’m chatty, playful (I still get the “zoomies”), and while she’s turning off the TV and lights at night, I go wait for her in bed so we can snuggle up together. She’s sad that she can’t keep me forever, so she’d love to introduce you to me and tell you lots more about what a great transformation a real home has made in me! (Bio updated July 2021)

Arrived 4-25-11; bio revised 5-22-18.

Rusty

Hi… my name is Rusty.

Adopted December 3, 2014.

When I was a barely-weaned puppy, a wonderful family took me in after I was found discarded in a box. I would be with them still, but their neighbors had outdoor cats, and not being a great feline fan, I barked at them a lot, so the HOA asked to have me removed (I guess keeping the cats inside wasn’t an option!). I’m an Australian Cattle Dog and have been at TALGV about two years now looking for my dream home. The volunteers say that once I get to know you I’m a genuinely affectionate guy who loves to play fetch with my Kong (I’m ecstatic when you throw it and will even jump up to catch it before it hits the ground!) and other toys. Like all cattle dogs, I’m eager to please and to learn, so won’t you give me the chance to prove what a wonderful addition I can be to your life?

Ano

Hi… my name is Ano.

I was adopted on August 23, 2014.

Ano has earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Hey, everyone — take look at me! I’ve been at TALGV since 2010 and boy, have I mellowed and learned a lot! I was pretty rambunctious when I arrived, but over the years I’ve been going on “meet-and-greet outings” with a foster family, have become a model companion, and I’m especially proud to say I’ve earned my nationally-accredited Canine Good Citizen award! I love to give people hugs and kisses, get along with well-mannered kids, other dogs (especially “the ladies”!), simply adore romping in the yard with you (chasing lizards is fun, too!), and enjoy lounging in a doggie pool. I am a 65-pound Staffordshire terrier mix boy, and it would be paradise to have a family and big yard of my own, so why don’t you come “make my day?”

Ranger

Hi… my name is Ranger.

Adopted 3-20-17

I was found near Titan Storage right near TALGV, and when I first arrived, they thought I was a boy (hence my rather masculine name). Then when they discovered that I was a lady, they thought I might be pregnant, but it turned out that I wasn’t either of those things, so after being spayed, I’m ready to go on about my life without having to worry about raising any more babies (after they examined me, it was apparent that I had already had a litter or two). It appeared that I’d been on my own for a quite a while, so I was a bit undernourished, but that’s been taken care of with lots of good food and extra nutrition. I am a sweet, young, archetypical, black/brown, striped tabby girl and I am super outgoing, affectionate, and I know I’d be a beguilingly curious companion. Why don’t you take me home and find out?

Arrived August 18, 2010

Butch

Hi… my name is Butch.

I was adopted July 23, 2014.

Lots of “winter visitors” in Green Valley are from Seattle and so am I! My folks found me there when I was a baby, and although I got along well with the other three cats in the household, I was a bit too “gung ho” for the oldest – my kitten antics were more than he could deal with! Well, I’ve matured a lot since I arrived here in 2010, and I can’t understand why no one has chosen me yet because I still like to play and to crawl up into your lap, have my ears scratched (but NOT my tummy!), and purr myself to sleep. I think that I would do well in a home with active cats like myself (or with playful, cat-friendly dogs), so if you’re looking for a calm and collected guy, but one who can still provide some excitement in the bargain, then I’d be the one for you!

Tiger

Hi… my name is Tiger.

Adopted 10-11-17!!!

I’m a totally gorgeous longhaired, orange tabby lady with knock-your-socks-off green eyes. I lived with five cats and my mom until she lost her home and had to move into an apartment where we weren’t allowed. I’ve been at TALGV for an awful long time now, and I think I understand why I haven’t been chosen yet. I was outgoing and sweet when I first arrived, but then I had to undergo a lot of uncomfortable, daily treatments for my teeth (which are okay now, happily!), and I decided that avoiding people would be in my best interest! With my mom, I was a loving companion, so I think that if I have my own home again with a patient “cat person,” I’ll be the affectionate friend I was always meant to be.

Arrived April 17, 2010

Sheena

Hi… my name is Sheena,

Adopted 11-23-16

I may take the prize (such as it is!) for being the longest feline resident of TALGV! Sadly, I’ve always been on the shy side, so not many people have ever taken the time to get to know me because there have been so many other, more extraverted felines in residence. I know, though, that when I meet the person of my dreams (someone who has had experience with shy gals like me and the patience to allow me to become the loving lady I know can be), we’ll be together forever. You “cat people” out there know who you are, and I’m hoping there is one of you who is willing to take a chance on me. After it’s been just the two of us for a while, I know that we’ll be inseparable companions.

Dinera

Hi… my name is Dinera.

I was adopted March 9, 2014.

I came from a “back yard breeder” in 2010, and when she could no longer keep me, it turned out to be a banner day since I landed at TALGV where I received lots of much-needed medical care. Well, I was ecstatic back then because I was getting tons of good food and one-on-one nurturing, but now that I’ve been here for a while, I’d really rather not share all that attention with everyone! I’m a striking, young Siamese lady who, because of the conditions I lived in, lost much of my sight, but once I get to know you and learn the surroundings in my new home, you’ll never know that I’m a “special needs” lady. I’m looking for a kindhearted person who will give me the opportunity to live a “normal” life (with all the joy that entails) in a home where I’m the center of attention and, more than anything, loved.

Special Need: sight impaired

Dutch

Hi… my name is Dutch.

I was adopted on April 7, 2014.

I am one handsome specimen of a Boxer/terrier mix guy who was found in July 2009. After I’d been here a while, they wanted to see how I would behave in a “real” home situation, so I lived with a foster mom for a time. You can “read all about it” in her notes, but here are excerpts: “I found Dutch to be calm, quiet, gentle and affectionate. Dutch is not a barker, doesn’t jump and stays fairly calm at home, which is quite different from how he appears in a kennel situation. Although he pulls on a choke collar, he does well with a ‘gentle leader,’ knows basic commands, and plays rough and tumble with big dogs, so maybe avoid dog parks as there are a lot of unknowns there. Dutch will make a great companion for an EXPERIENCED, dog owner.” There’s LOTS more about me at TALGV, so please come see it and then meet me.

Myra

Hi… my name is Myra.

Adopted February 11, 2016!

When I arrived (way back in 2009!), I was awfully chary of strangers because I’d been left alone in a trailer for several months after my mom died. It took a lot of TLC on the part of the volunteers, but now I’m back to my original sweet self again. I’m a gorgeous, longhaired, glossy black lady with mesmerizing green eyes. I lived with two other cats for a while in my first home, and of course I’ve been “rooming” with lots of them here too, so perhaps I’d do okay in a home that already has a cat, or maybe I’d just like to have you all to myself! I promise I’ll make some special person a warm and thankful friend.

Arrived March 10, 2009.

Fluff

Hi… my name is Fluff.

I was adopted from TALGV by a couple who had another cat and two dogs. We got along pretty well for a while (okay, I wasn’t nuts about the cat!) but then, for some reason my people and I just didn’t “hit it off” any more. I know that I would the perfect companion for a real “cat person” – someone who knows that sometimes cats enjoy petting and sometimes they don’t. I am a striking, middle aged longhaired, buff gentleman who can be animated and confident, but still like my own space now and then (as lots of humans do!). I would love a home where my person and I can share our lives, both of us doing “our thing” spending quality time together and then just sitting around and contemplating life’s mysteries. If you are one of those exceptional people who has an affinity for special felines like me, then I think we might be great partners in life!

Archie

Hi… my name is Archie.

Adopted May 14, 2015

Won’t someone please, PLEASE take me home? I’ve been at TALGV since February 2008 — not a record I’m proud of! I’m a real “cat person’s” cat – I LOVE affection when I want it, and then sometimes I want to be on my own for a while – but I still like to staying close to you. I’m an extroverted (except with other cats!), orange tabby and white boy with no tail, and am ready to share a life with you that is filled with furry orange love, lap sitting (when the mood strikes), and many hours of feline-type entertainment. If you spend some time getting to know me, maybe you’ll find that we have a special connection – and that just might be the beginning of a beautiful relationship!

Arrived: 2/11/2008
