Charlie Chaplin

Hi… my name is Charlie Chaplin.

I guess there won’t be anyone out there wondering how I got my name! My “moustache” is unmistakable, and it just adds that extra “something” that makes me so distinctive. My people adopted me from a shelter and had me for three months, but as they said, “Our household is quiet, which was too boring for Charlie. He needs more stimulation than we could provide.” They said that I was very boisterous and energetic, but played a bit too rough with their older, timid cat (they thought I’d really like a younger, more lively playmate, so that’s what I’m looking for). I’m a shorthaired black and white boy who is exceptionally playful, curious and eager to explore my surroundings. I might even do well with a dog that liked cats (they are a bit more into “interactive” play than a lot of felines!), so if that sounds like your household, I’d probably fit in just fine!

Figuero

Hi… my name is Figuero.

I’ve been around the block a few times for a teenager as my most recent mom got me from a friend who couldn’t keep me, and then she decided she couldn’t either, so “presto-chango” one more move and here I am! I utterly adore having my ears scratched (I can do all sorts of contortions so that you reach just the right spot!), and although I was allowed outside for a few months, I know life is a lot safer indoors for felines here in the desert, so I’ll be happy to keep you company there for the rest of my life. I’m a young “tuxedo” boy who is going to give your life a whole new meaning when we get together!

Beans

Hi… my name is Beans.

I was adopted April 30, 2014.

It should be written somewhere that when a divorce occurs, someone in the family has to be responsible for keeping the family cat! My people tried to “rehome” me, but my presence at TALGV indicates that they didn’t have any success. In the time that I lived with them, I got along great with the kids and the resident dog and they said that I’m a “super, super, super” sweet and loving girl. I’m solid black, young (adopted from the Humane Society when I was just a classic wee ball of fluff), and although I’m sometimes a bit shy, I really do enjoy a good romp now and then. I do have one “negative” however, and that’s that I’m allergic to shots, but I’ve been an indoor girl all my life so I’m healthy as can be. If you come meet me, you’ll discover how much you’ve been missing without me!

Benny

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!

Dinah

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!

Felix was adopted 2/27/14

Mr. October

Hi… my name is Mr. October.

My siblings and I arrived at TALGV back in July, and because there were twelve of us, we all got “month” names! At the time, no one tried to match our names to our sex, so some of us have “girl” names (like April and June who are really guys!), but some of us got lucky and have “unisex” names! Because of our not-so-stellar beginnings, all of us came down with a few ailments when we were small, but now we’re all better and growing into lovely medium- and longhaired lovers. I’m a handsome solid black boy who is just as playful as the dickens (having a lot of brothers and sisters to romp with is WAY fun!), but I’d really like to have my own family and home where I can grow into the fantastic feline I’m destined to be. Wouldn’t you like to make that happen for me?

January

Hi… my name is January.

My siblings and I arrived at TALGV in July of 2013, and because there were twelve of us, we all got “month” names! At the time, no one tried to match our names to our sex, so some of us have “girl” names (like April and June who are really guys!), but some of us got lucky and have “unisex” names! Because of our not-so-stellar beginnings, all of us came down with a few ailments when we were small, but now we’re all better and growing into lovely medium- and longhaired lovers. I’m a solid black guy who is just as playful as the dickens (having a lot of brothers and sisters to romp with is WAY fun!), but I’d really like to have my own family and home where I can grow into the fantastic feline I’m destined to be. Wouldn’t you like to make that happen for me?

Tango

Hi… my name is Tango.

I was adopted on April 29, 2014.

My sister, Gizmo, and I lived with our mom since we were born on May 17, 2005. Sadly, her health now dictates the she needs to move back east to live with family, and we weren’t able to go along, so we’re hoping we’ll find another wonderful person to spend the rest of our lives with. We’re Border collie mixes and here’s a bit of what mom said about us: “Gizmo and Tango are like Siamese twins and have never been apart from the moment they were born. Even though they’ve only been around each other, I think once they meet another dog, they’d be fine.” Neither one of us is very fond of thunderstorms, but if you take us both (which we are really hoping you do!) with your help we can comfort each other during the monsoon season, and then we can have the rest of the year to be just plain wonderful companions!

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

Casey

Hi… my name is Casey.

My dad went into assisted living and the only thing the people who brought me here said about me was “indoor cat!” Well, I am declawed, after all — although ALL cats should be indoors here in Arizona! What I CAN tell you is that even though I have a “cauliflower ear” (which just really adds to my uniqueness!), I’m a beautiful, longhaired calico lady, who checked out pretty well “health-wise” when I first arrived, and since I’m in the “over 10” category, I qualify for TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program!. I weigh just a little over 9 pounds (there’s more fur than body!), and since I lived with a senior citizen, I’m probably going to want to have a fairly quiet home again (but, hey, you never know do you?)! Why not come by and meet me — I’ll bet love will be just around the corner for you!
