Hi… my name is Fenley.
Adopted June 27, 2015
I’ve discovered that chain link fences and cats just don’t mix! I was found wedged in one with a three-inch gash in my leg that TALGV has very kindly patched up, so I’ll be good to go in no time. I think I’ve had quite enough of the outdoor life to last for the rest of my nine lives, so I’ll be eternally grateful for a home where I can romp and explore without fear of something like that “getting me” again! I’m just a youngster at 18 months, and am a classic tabby and white girl who’ll undoubtedly be happy with a lap, a cozy bed, and a family (and maybe a feline playmate?) to help me while away the seasons in climate-controlled comfort!

Hi… my name is Leah.
Adopted November 2, 2015
I may hold the dubious record for cats “returned most times to TALGV” through no fault of my own! I arrived as a stray for the first time back in 2010. I was adopted shortly thereafter, but my mom died a year later. I was adopted again, but that person had “too many outside interests,” and I came back one more time. Then, three years ago I was adopted by a couple that is now moving to a place that doesn’t allow pets! All my families have said that I’m a loving, playful, gentle lady (albeit a bit shy at times), and since I’m a beautiful combination of dilute tortoiseshell and grey tabby, I have high hopes that this year will see me in my really, truly, honest-to-goodness finally “forever” home!

Hi… my name is Oreo.
Adopted June 26, 2015
Yes, I know, some cats don’t travel well, but my siblings (Bert and Ernie) and I sure would have made an exception if our family had given it a shot when they moved to Illinois! I mean, really, after living with them all our lives, we would have bitten the bullet and made one long trip in order to stay with them in their new home. Well, anyway, they didn’t so now’s your chance to augment your life with one healthy, loving, and affectionate guy (or two or three — we all get along great)! I love to chase toy mice and those crinkle balls, and can be quiet/laid back one minute and playful/kittenlike the next (ah, the joy of surprise!), so I’m hoping my great personality will win you over after just a brief tête-à-tête!

Hi… my name is Trouble,
Adopted February 6, 2016
No, I don’t live up to my name! My given name was “Boots” but my first family called me “Trouble” because I sometimes liked to unravel toilet paper rolls (I understand that that hobby isn’t totally unique to me!). After my dad died, mom couldn’t care for me alone any longer, so I came to TALGV in 2014. Another family adopted me shortly afterward, but they though I was a bit too independent for them (they said I didn’t like to be hugged or come when called — not very “catlike” things anyway!). I’m a 2-year-old declawed tabby and white boy who’s active, affectionate, curious, and loves to play with toys on strings. So if you’re looking for entertainment, a purry friend, and don’t mind a few shredded TP rolls, then I’m your guy!

Hi… my name is Baby Girl.
Adopted August 2, 2015
When the volunteers saw “CHC” listed as my breed on my intake information, they were really stumped! After sifting through the papers though, they discovered that my owners considered me a “common house cat”! Well, hey — there’s nothing common about me — we felines are all unique! My senior mom recently developed extreme health issues, so unfortunately my friend, Little Big Man, and I needed to move on. Dad said, “Although initially shy with strangers she will eventually come out to investigate. She’s quite gentle and great to be with, plays with action toys and human held ones, and is a great regal lady that a quiet family will be very happy with.” I’m a beautiful “Maine Coon-like” tabby who just needs one last home that I’m hoping will include Little Big Man.

Hi… my name is Meowner.
Adopted January 16, 2016
My mom, a dog (that we never interacted with since he lived outside), my siblings, Flounder, Ariel, and I were on the verge of homelessness when our mom moved to a “no pets” place, so we’re all exceedingly glad TALGV was there for us and not the streets! Despite the upheaval in our lives, we’re all outgoing, sweet critters who will settle right in to new homes in no time I’m sure. I’m a gorgeous and companionable medium-haired tabby girl, 8 months old (I was born on August 25, 2014, so you can celebrate my birthday every year!), and want more than anything to be able to show you how appreciative I’ll be for a lap, a cat tree, two squares, and a treat or two when I’m good (and that’s always)!

Hi… my name is Precious II.
Adopted June 27, 2015
Sometimes the best of intentions go awry. My folks had hearts of gold and, like lots of people, just couldn’t say “no” when a stray cat arrived in their yard. After they’d accumulated 20 of us (none neutered!), they realized that they needed help finding us safe homes, so TALGV’s Outreach Program came to the rescue. My mom had tons of good things about me, but here’s just a sampling: “Precious is the most lovable kitten ever. She plays with anything and has no fear of cats or people. She’s very observant, and with only one eye is totally aware of her surroundings. She will sit for hours observing human or outdoor activity.” I’m betting all you’ll need is five minutes with me to discover that you’re in love!
Arrived March 18, 2015
NOTE: FIV is a virus that can only be passed among cats (humans or dogs are never affected), and only through blood. Since cats rarely fight to the degree of drawing blood, FIV positive cats can live long and healthy lives with both other FIV positive cats and friendly non-FIV cats. So don’t let those letters scare you — they’re practically like everyone else and they’ll love you even more for choosing them!

Hi… my name is Simba
Adopted March 29, 2015
If you ever needed an example of “exponential,” then my siblings and I are it! It started, as it always does, with two unneutered cats back in 2013, and here we are, now 15 total (there were more, but they didn’t make it). We were all forsaken by our owner, but at least she left age and personality information about us on our carriers, and judging by our health and temperament, we were all very much loved once. My little “bio” said, “Simba is extremely loving for such a young kitten. He gets along very well with bigger dogs and he actually loves to be on them and and clean their ears.” What more can I say to convince you because that pretty much sums me up — I’m “Mr. Purrfect”!

The volunteers are having a terrible time choosing a favorite among my brothers (Michael, Zie, and Biggun) and me because we’re all sweet, outgoing, and engage in all the typically endearing kitten things that make you fall in love. You could make their choice lots easier by taking one or two of us home!
