Sara

Hi… my name is Sara.

Sara probably isn’t my real name, because my dad died and amidst the hubbub in the house, I managed to escape and the Realtor who rescued me didn’t know a whole lot about my background. What we can tell you is that I am a real “purrpot” who loves to be held, have my chin and ears scratched, and will be your new best friend when you make me yours. I’m a young and lovely example of the classic tabby and white breed — although a fairly common one, we’re known for our winning ways and UNcommon affection. I must tell you that I’m a little overwhelmed here at the moment with all the other felines around, so I’m hoping that my shining personality will win me a place in your heart really soon. You’ll never know unless you visit me, so come have a seat — I’ll do the rest!

Mandy

Hi… my name is Mandy.

Adopted December 28, 2014.

After my dad died over a year ago, I came to TALGV with my brother, Rusty. Since we’d been together all our lives and rely on each other for comfort and company, the volunteers would like to see us adopted together. Sadly, our mom has recently had to have surgery and she can no longer care for us, so we’re back looking for a home that will take us both again. I’m a lovely grey and white lady who is very loving, gets attached to my owner, and likes to crawl on laps and cuddle. They say I also need to have some blankets around, as I love to sleep completely covered underneath them. I may be a bit shy at first, but I warm up once I know you, and having Rusty around would help me in that department, too. I’ll bet your life would be a lot brighter with two gentle sweethearts like us!

Aurora

Hi… my name is Aurora.

My mom, Luna, and my siblings, Galaxy, Stardust, and I were found under the floorboards of a trailer in Sahuarita. No one knows how long we’d been there, but mom did her best to take care of us (without much help from humans I must say!), so we’re all a little skittish at the moment. Now that we’re here though, we’re getting “three squares” and lots of attention — the stuff they call “socialization” — so I’m sure that with all that TLC it won’t be long before we’re ready to forget about the big outdoors and move into nice quiet homes where we can be safe and loved. I’m a beautiful young grey tabby girl, and I’m looking for that special someone who’ll help me forget what it was to be on my own. Are you just around the corner?

March

Hi… my name is March.

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 tabby 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?

Frank

Hi… my name is Frank.

Adopted with Honey Bear 5-26-17

I spent my life living as a “community cat” until I was trapped and brought to TALGV so I could learn proper “people skills.” Well, the volunteers are astonished at my progress! It’s taken lots of time and patience, but I’m happy to report that I’ve made great strides in enjoying petting and brushing, and I’ve come out of my shell and discovered that human companionship might actually be a good thing! I get along with the other cats here (especially Honey Bear!), and am available to someone who will allow me ample time to get used a new home and people. If you’re a patient “cat person” who can accept that I might never be a lap sitter (but you never know!), won’t you please consider me?

Cheta

Hi… my name is Cheta.

Adopted April 6, 2014.

No, it’s not “cheetah” like the wild cat, it’s CHETa, which means “cat” in Norwegian — and I’m about as far removed from “wild” as can be! My mom and dad went into assisted living, so after eight years with them, I’ve got to find new family (preferably an older person or couple) to spend my life with. My people said, “He is likely to be shy at first, but once he warms up, he’ll talk to you and purr like crazy.” Since I was allowed outdoors sometimes (that’s a “no-no” here in the desert), I might occasionally make a try for the door, but if you keep your eye on me (and give me other interesting stuff to divert my attention!), I’ll be in your lap in no time. I’m a handsome, longhaired, grey and white guy and if you give me a chance, I know you’ll love me as much as my mom and dad did.

Libra

Hi… my name is Libra.

For a relative youngster, I’ve led a pretty exciting life (and not necessarily the best kind of exciting!). A family in Sahuarita found me when I was about to have kittens, so they kept me until they were born and weaned and then brought us here to TALGV. Since we were living outside much of the time, we all contracted ringworm (and I have a scar on my throat from what might have been a dog attack), but after being treated for four weeks, we’ve all been pronounced healthy as can be, and I’m half-past ready to get on with my life in a safer, indoor environment! I’m a lithe, classic tabby and white girl, who is very friendly, outgoing, and love to play. I’d rather not live with dogs again though, so if you have a quiet home where it can be just you and me (and maybe another feline), that would suit me to a “T”!

Frankie

Hi… my name is Frankie.

Frankie has earned his Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

Adopted February 12, 2014

“Frankie is a super sweet boy who will lick you to death if you let him.” Nice intro, huh? I’m a Staffie mix who was adopted by my family a year ago and got along fine with their other dog until I decided I wanted ALL the attention, so that didn’t work out well for me! Here’s some of what my people said: “Frankie loves going out to the desert and being outside in general. He does very well with kids (ours are 18 months and 3) and is protective of them when we are outside. He should be the only pet in an active home, especially one with an outdoorsy male figure. He needs to be inside with people whenever possible, not left outside to his own devices because he gets bored and it hurts his feelings.” Oh, there’s lots more good stuff, so come for a “meet and greet” and see for yourself!

Smokey 2

Hi… my name is Smokey 2.

Adopted 3-23-18

I’ve been here almost six years and am soooo ready for a new (child-free) home! Some of the volunteers are enormously fond of me because I’m the first to jump onto their laps (and others not so much because I’ve nipped them – which is probably why I’m still here!). But I haven’t done that for ages, as they’ve learned that I only want so much petting and then I’m done (I purr plenty though just sitting in your lap). I prefer not to be picked up, but I’m really too heavy for that nonsense anyway! (Like humans, accessible food 24/7 and too little exercise are to blame for my girth!) So if you’d like to share your life with a handsome gentleman who doesn’t require much petting, come down and see if I like you.

Kiwi

Hi…my name is Kiwi.

Adopted May 23, 2015

I’m a beautiful young grey tabby lady, who has certainly been around the block a few times in such a short life. I was rescued in early 2010 by a wonderful lady who brought me to TALGV and there I gave birth to five fluffy little kittens. I was hoping that when that was over I could get on with my life and find my forever home. Finally I was adopted! Then it turned out my new mom didn’t really want a cat, except for having it sit in her lap, and a nice friend of hers brought me back to TALGV. She said that “it was not my fault!” I was welcomed back with open arms, but I’m really sad that once again I haven’t found my forever home. I am super outgoing and affectionate, and I’m really hoping someone out there will read this and give me a home!

Cheeto

Hi… my name is Cheeto,

Adopted with Li’l Pumpkin December 1, 2015

I’m a handsome, black-striped tabby guy, who, if I were a little more silvery would be known as a Silver or Blotched Tabby and very desirable as an American Shorthair. There were SOOO many kittens at TALGV when I arrived in 2011 that I kind of got lost in the shuffle and still haven’t made it to my forever home. I’ve made a lot of progress in the socialization department though, and my “BFF” (that’s “best feline friend”), Li’l Pumpkin, and I love to hang out together, so the volunteers would like us to be adopted together too (moral support, you know!). I’m certain that if you make the effort, you’ll be rewarded with two delightful (but undoubtedly always quiet!) companions. But hey! What’s wrong with quiet?
