Hi… my name is Smoke,

Adopted 1-7-17

There aren’t enough animal shelters in the world to go around for needy animals, and when one closes, it just makes things harder for everyone. Fortunately, TALGV is able to take some of us in when they have space, so I’m happy to report that several of my compatriots and I are now safe and looking for that elusive “forever” home. The wonderful lady who brought me here said, “Smoke is a calm easygoing cat who lived outside in our Sanctuary garden. She is a very nice, loving girl who could use some extra attention. Living in the garden, she didn’t get a lot of hands on.” Well, I’m here to second that motion and tell you I’ll be eternally grateful if you’ll do that for me!

Hi… my name is Jackson,

There aren’t enough animal shelters in the world to go around for needy animals, and when one closes, it just makes things harder for everyone. Fortunately, TALGV is able to take some of us in when they have space, so I’m happy to report that several of my compatriots and I are now safe and looking for that elusive “forever” home. The wonderful lady who brought me here said, “Jackson came to us full grown after someone moved and dumped him. He has a great, personable disposition and is a real lover. He lived outside in the front entry so would love to have some extra TLC.” Well, I’m here to second that motion and tell you I’ll be eternally grateful if you’ll do that for me!

Hi… my name is Emmett,

Adopted 1-27-17

There aren’t enough animal shelters in the world to go around for needy animals, and when one closes, it just makes things harder for everyone. Fortunately, TALGV is able to take some of us in when they have space, so I’m happy to report that several of my compatriots and I are now safe and looking for that elusive “forever” home. The wonderful lady who brought me here said, “Emmett is a healthy, strong boy who is a very loving, nice kitty but wants to be leader of the pack, so should probably be an only child. He lived outside in the front entry so would love to have some extra TLC.” Well, I’m here to second that motion and tell you I’ll be eternally grateful if you’ll do that for me!

Hi… my name is Keke,

Adopted 11-19-16

“Landlord issues” and “moving” often don’t spell happiness for pets! When my dad had to move, my two best canine friends (a Staffie and a Chihuahua) and I had to move on,too, but unfortunately not with him. Dad said that the Chihuahua was “my baby” so I’ll bet that I’d do fine in a home with another small friend to nurture (in addition to you, of course!). I’m keeping a low profile for a while (change is hard for cats, you know), but I know in a new home, I’ll be ruling the roost in no time. If you’d like the privilege of making my dreams come true, won’t you come meet me so I can whisper sweet nothings in your ear? You won’t be able to resist!

Hi… my name is Turvy,

Adopted 2-1-17

There are accidents and then there are accidents! I somehow succeeded in injuring my tongue so badly that it required having part of it removed. It turns out that I’ve managed to compensate though “with a little help from my friends.” I do need to have only wet food so that I get the moisture I need, and I can drink water from a fountain, but dry food will always be a “no-no.” I’m able to groom myself fairly well, but need an occasional swipe on my face and body with a wet washcloth to spiff me up. My mom, who had me for a year, said that I am a playful, sweet lap cat who loves cuddling from anyone, so that surely more than offsets my “deficiency!”

Hi… my name is Gabriel,

Adopted 2-27-17

My humans decided to go their separate ways when their “life circumstances” changed (I’m not sure what that means, but it sure was a big change for my friend, Joshua, and me!) we ended up losing our home too. I’ve always been a “mama’s boy,” preferring her to the “man of the house,” but Joshua and I got along great – playing and sleeping together in a living room chair. Since my life has changed so precipitously, it might take me a while to warm up in a new situation, but I know once I feel safe and loved, I’ll be your constant companion (with Joshua along it might be easier for us both!). I’m a declawed, 8-year-old who’ll thank you every day for, as the ABBA song goes, “taking a chance on me!”

Hi… my name is Buster,

Adopted with Andre 6-22-19

Everyone’s heard the term “alley cat,” well, I really was one! I lived in an alley behind a vet clinic (good choice, I thought!), and they fed me for three months, gave me all my shots, tested me for FIV/FeLV (negative, yay!), tipped my ear, and neutered me so attention wasn’t something I lacked! They said I was very affectionate, and although I was doing “okay” out there, I really deserved a “proper” home. They said I might be a bit shy at first (understandable, I think!), but I warm up quickly and really enjoy attention. I get along great with other cats – especially my friend Andre – so a combined adoption would make our dreams come true. I’d simply love to show you how an “alley cat” can become a “just-wanna-be-inside-where-it’s-safe” kind of guy!

Mel

Hi… my name is Mel,

Adopted September 23, 2016

There are different kinds of inheritances! The monetary kind is great, but to my mind, the feline kind is better and that’s what happened with my sister, Patches, and me. Our mom left us to a friend who had always thought we were totally wonderful (we are!), but after eight months, she just couldn’t keep us any longer. Truth be told, she did already have two other cats and three dogs (and a snake!), so I guess we were just a bit “over the top” for her. She said we were super loving, gentle, quiet, and very attached to each other since we’ve been together all our lives (so maybe we could stay together?). I’m an 8-year-old longhaired tabby (or Maine Coon) gentleman who’ll brighten any corner where you are!

Bug

Hi… my name is Bug,

Adopted October 12, 2016

“Downsizing” is not a word that pets want to hear! When my family moved to a smaller home, they couldn’t take both cats and dogs, so I guess I drew the short straw. I know it was a hard choice for them, because they said that I’m a very sweet (if at times shy) lady who got along fine with kids and other pets, was “very nurturing and mother-like,” and loved to be petted (although not picked up – they “respected my wishes” in that area!). Mom said, “She’ll let you know when she wants attention, and is a loving, happy girl who likes to sleep on beds, or in small, quiet, comfy places” (yes, very cat-like!). At 9 years old, I’ve got way more living to do, so let’s do it together!
