Adopted February 24, 2016

TENON and MORTISE were named by former carpenter, but they are more likely to respond to terms such as “baby” and “kitty.” They are beautiful and social 5-year-old female almost identical gray tabby twins who need a new home due to owner’s allergy to them. They are spayed, shots are up to date, and they have had a recent full health check. They have no experience with children but have adapted to large dogs in their home. Both girls like petting but Tenon is more of a cuddler and a “velcro” cat who likes to wake you up in the morning. They are 11 to 12 pounds each and owner would prefer they be adopted together if possible. There is no adoption fee for these sweet cats. If you would welcome Mortise and/or Tenon into your family, please call Rick between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-307-9259.

Hi… my name is KC Girl.

Adopted April 27, 2016

KC Girl Comes with Free Vet Care for Life

My dad adopted me from TALGV ten years ago when I was five and my life with him (and a young cat) was peachy keen until he decided he wanted to travel. Now there are some cats who’ll say, “Yay — let’s go” (well not too many actually!), but at my age, I guess I wasn’t up to it and wanted to just “be me” in my own familiar surroundings. Dad said that I love being brushed, will let you clip my front claws, and sleep pretty much wherever I want. I do need to trim down a smidge, but that’s only a matter of less food and fewer treats (and maybe some exercise?) — just like humans, so won’t you give this perfectly seasoned lady one more chance?

Hi… my name is Quartz,

Adopted December 19, 2015

Thanks for looking at my pictures. My biography is under construction. Please stop back again to read about me or… even better… stop in at TALGV to meet me soon. Kennels are open 10-2 every day.

Hi… my name is Kitty,

Adopted November 7, 2015

Here’s my mom’s plea: “Please, please take care of Kitty! He’s a very good cat who loves to be brushed, cuddle, and sleep on the bed with you. He loves playing with his stuffed mouse, tossing it in the air to catch it, and will also follow you around like a puppy.” Mom had some serious health issues that compelled her to relinquish me after two years, but you can tell by her appeal that that was really hard for her to do. I’ve only lived with adults all my life (apparently I’m a little too animated in my play with kids), so if a classic tabby boy with “tiger” markings and “no behavior problems ever” sounds like a fit for you, come meet me!

Hi… my name is Ritz,

Adopted September 30, 2015

My foster mom, with whom I lived for many weeks until I gained my strength and “got growed,” said, “No one told Ritz she was named after a cracker because she’s thinking more along the lines of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel!  She’s a very sweet kitten who just seems to have class.” Well, that’s what happens when you’re pampered and coddled — you learn to love (and expect) it! Since I was only three weeks old when found, I needed a lot of TLC to get my weight up with extra nourishment, but one look at me and you’ll see how well that paid off! I’m a darling, medium-haired torti/tabby mix girl who is going to be one of those “can’t-take-your-eyes-off-her” ladies when I’m grown. You be the one to watch that happen!

Hi… my name is Crackle,

Adopted September 7, 2015

Chances are you can guess by my name and those of my siblings, Snap and Pop, that we were dubbed the “Rice Crispies Litter!” Like a lot of the summer crop of kittens, we were too young and too small to come to TALGV after we were found, so one of the awesome volunteers took us home to “fatten us up” and socialize us so we’d be the perfect size and have the perfect personalities to entice potential adopters. Well, it worked like a charm for my siblings, but I’m still waiting for that special someone to come through the door. I’m having tons of fun playing with my “kittens-in-arms,” but would way rather be doing that in a big, endlessly fascinating home of my own! I’ll bet your place would be just perfect!

Hi… my name is Towhee.

Adopted September 5, 2015

As the remaining kitten from the “Bird litter,” I’m here to tell you that you’re missing out on a heck of a good time watching me grow up! Our mom (“Birdie” of course!) raised us all in a shed for the first weeks of our lives, but since we had a human feeding and socializing us (thank you human!), we all turned out to be just as friendly and happy-go-lucky as any kitten raised indoors. I’m a classic tabby boy who promises to be the focal point of the day as you help me mature from a typical “into everything” kitten (one of the best parts of kittenhood!) into a lap cat/companion par excellence. C’mon … you know you want to, so adopt me now!

Hi… my name is Takis.

Adopted October 1, 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 “the perfect love kitty” who purrs like a Ferrari (often just because you picked me up or because you looked at or talked to me!). She said that I’ll collapse against your leg or in your lap, and look in your eyes in a way that’ll totally melt your heart. As a 4-month-old kitten, you can be sure I’ll be happy playing with whatever’s around — and that always includes you!

Hi… my name is Mickey,

Adopted February 3, 2016

Given my basic sweetness, I know that it won’t take long for me to adjust to the sorrow of being relinquished by my dad after six years. Since I was apparently allowed outdoors (that’s a huge no-no for cats!), I’ve acquired a few issues that need treatment (which the cat care people and the vet got on right away), so once I’m better, I know that my old, playful and loving self will come to the fore. Although I’m not feeling tip-top at the moment, the volunteers say that when I’m being medicated, I “melt in their arms,” so you know that I’ve always been a lover at heart. I’m a delightful 6-year-old grey tabby boy who just needs time to recapture the joyful spirit that lives inside me.

Hi… my name is Miss Priss.

Adopted September 7, 2016

I may be named Miss Priss now but there certainly isn’t anything “prissy” about me! Well since my provenance is unknown, who knows, my name might well have been “Lover Girl” at one time! At any rate, for over a year I was roaming the Green Valley neighborhood where I was found, cadging food and water where I could, when a good-hearted lady finally took me in. She said that I was sweet and chatty as could be with her (but not her older cat — that’s why she didn’t keep me), adored being petted and scratched, had “neat litter habits,” and loved catnip toys and treats. So — rest assured that once this Torbie lady overcomes her initial shyness, I’ll be sticking to you like glue!

Hi… my name is Tarzan.

Adopted June 21, 2015

When asked to describe my personality, my mom said I was bold and outgoing, playful and kittenlike, but also quiet and laid back — so take your pick — I can be anything you’d like! My family is moving and living in a travel trailer for several months where there just wasn’t room for the (nasty!) resident cat and me. They were so sad to give me up as I was a birthday present for “my” 14-year-old girl, and the whole family was attached to me. They said I am a very sweet guy who deserves to have a happy, fulfilled life with a new owner who will appreciate me for the playful, curious boy I am. Oh, I also lived (and wrestled!) with a Shih Tzu, so I “do” (nice) dogs too!
