Sweet Pea

Hi… my name is Sweet Pea,

Adopted July 4, 2016

I’m hoping I’ll have the opportunity to attest to the saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” I’ve had a mighty hard time in my 7 years, and recently when the shelter I lived in closed, it just added to my anxiety. Fortunately TALGV was there for me (and several of my friends), so I’m safe for now, but it may take me a while before I appreciate that this is the penultimate stop in my life. The ultimate, of course, will be when you take me home and remind me how wonderful living with humans can be. I have a feeling that I earned my name sometime in the past, so won’t you please give me a chance to prove it?

Moonlight

Hi… my name is Moonlight,

Adopted August 22, 2016

You know how humans have “empty nest syndrome” when their kids leave home? Well, cats can have that too! I gave birth to my babies under a porch in Sahuarita, and the homeowners brought me to TALGV a few days later. I immediately went to live with a foster mom ‘til my kids were old enough to go off on their own, but now that they’re gone, I’m awfully lonely without them. The volunteers are being ever so nice to me, and trying to make up for my loss, so I’m slowly “coming around” with their tender ministration. I was, as they say, a“ child bride” at 18 months, so have got years and years ahead of me to make YOU my family!

Helena

Hi… my name is Helena,

Adopted May 24, 2016

Born March 17, 2016

Cydney

Hi… my name is Cydney,

Adopted June 29, 2016

So far, 2016 hasn’t been the best of years for me or my housemates, Chad, Carley, and Chase. After our dad died, I guess someone thought they were doing a good thing by leaving us outside and feeding us, but after a few months, we became more and more guarded, as there were so many threatening things out there and we had to learn to survive. Once upon a time though, we were very sweet cats, and as the volunteers are discovering, we’re become more trusting each day. It may take a while for us to adapt to new homes, but we will, we promise, if you’ll just give us a chance, and make the rest of 2016 one in which we can resume our old friendly ways.

Saby

Hi… my name is Saby,

Adopted May 20, 2016

Having survived in the wild for a while (well, Sahuarita isn’t exactly “wild,” but you get my drift!), you can understand how I might be a smidge shy with new people at first. I was found, along with my three babies, when they were only a few weeks old and we were cared for until “the kids” were old enough to be adopted. Our rescuers found homes two of them, but since the family was moving, they had to bring my daughter, Caper, and me here. I’m a sweet, beautifully marked calico lady who enjoys serious petting (once I get to know you!) and, as my human mom said, “she’ll eat absolutely anything!” So all I need is a little bit of time, a whole lot of love, and you to make my life complete!

Carmel

Hi… my name is Carmel (aka Socks),

Adopted January 6, 2016

My mom said that I’m a sweet, playful, and downright gorgeous lady who loves to be around her person. (Carmel was my name here at TALGV when I was adopted almost three years ago, but I was renamed, because, well, you can guess!) Unfortunately, when my dad died, mom really needed to get some semblance of order in her life and because of health problems, could no longer care for me (or my sister, Avila) like she had before. In my first home, my people trained me to sleep in a crate and I was okay with that, but I’ve learned to much prefer cuddling up with a human at night, so if you’re the kind of quite older person (no little kids please!) who likes a “bed buddy” (or two), I’m made for you!

Cinnamon

Hi… my name is Cinnamon (aka Puss),

Adopted December 2, 2015

Comes with Free Vet Care for Life…

Since my mom adopted me from the Humane Society five years ago, she doesn’t know much about my past, but she does know that I’m afraid of brooms and spray bottles, so maybe I didn’t have such a good life back then! Well, I had a great life with her until she became disabled and couldn’t care for me any longer, so I have faith that there’s another quiet home with someone who wants a soulful and serene declawed (and beautiful!) lady like me. I’m old enough now to have Free Vet Care for Life, and mom says that I’m affectionate, smart, and “talk a lot,” so with me around you’ll never be lonely! With all those plusses, why not let me share life’s slower pace with you?

Cali

Hi… my name is Cali,

Adopted November 11, 2015

When you hang around places where “animal people” are, you’re probably going to get lucky and find a softhearted person to take you in! Well, that’s what happened with me, when I appeared at the stables where my rescuer rides — she just couldn’t leave without me! Although she couldn’t keep me forever, she did have me for six weeks and said that I’m totally curious, playful, and love chasing anything on the floor (toys, crumpled paper, pens, eraser tops, or even uncooked spaghetti pieces!). She said although I’m a bit independent, I’m very “people interactive” and like to check out laps (sometimes sleeping in them, sometimes not!) and give nose rubs. I’m a young “drop-dead-gorgeous” calico who’ll definitely charm the socks off you in about, oh, ten seconds or so!

Baby Jane

Hi… my name is Baby Jane.

Adopted by TALGV volunteers November 23, 2015

You have to wonder about people! I lived with my family all my life, but when they decided to go away for the summer, I was unceremoniously dropped off at TALGV pretty much on their way out the door! Not a thought to finding a “summer sitter” — nope — just an inconsiderate “we’ve-got-our-lives-to-live-and-forget-the-cat” attitude! Okay, they did say I was a “good cat” — but I’m ever so much more than that! I’m a lovely 8-year-old calico/tabby mix lady who, although shy at times, is gentle and loving at heart and would love to spend the rest of my live proving that to you. If you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t think of “moving on” without taking your companion along, then I think we should meet!

Paris

Hi… my name is Paris.

Adopted June 7, 2014.

Nieve

Hi… my name is Nieve.

Adopted June 27, 2015

My Celtic name is Niamh (sounds like Nee ev). It means Bright Star. I come with FREE Vet Care for Life!

My mom left my housemate and me with her mother when she moved out of state, and we thought things would be hunky-dory until we realized that there was a service dog in the house (we really weren’t into any kind of dogs!). Unfortunately, in his eagerness to make friends, he was neglecting his responsibilities to his owner, so, long story short, I’ve got my paws crossed that someone will adopt me soon. I’m a sweet, healthy, low-key, 10-year-old lady (who comes with free Vet Care for Life) and am a real cuddler who likes to lick your hands like a dog and fetch little cat balls, so why not help prove that old age isn’t a disease and give me a new lease on life?

Arrived January 10, 2015.

Rudolpha

Hi… my name is Rudolpha.

Adopted December 26, 2014.

I was found by a cattle pond, alone, starving, and covered in ticks and fleas, but now I’ve been “debugged,” am gobbling down everything in sight, and am doing fine! Aside from being a very grateful little girl, now that I’m feeling better, I’m just as happy and playful as any kitten — we do have the ability to bounce back from adversity you know! Anyway, I’d really be happy to brighten your holidays and the New Year, so just hold me for a second and you’ll see how!

Arrived December 21, 2014.
