Hi… my name is Coors,

Adopted 1-14-17

Either my beer-colored coat was the inspiration for my name or my people were really big fans of my namesake! In any event, I would have fit any number of names – Lovey and Snuggles come to mind – but rest assured no matter what I’m called, you’d be one happy camper if you made me yours! I’m a 6-year-old orange tabby boy who “loves attention, follows you around and begs for (dry) food like a dog, sleeps in your bed, and adores being with his person.” Yo – what more could you possibly want? Oh, I also got along great with the resident dog and wee little kid, too! Sadly, my family is moving and couldn’t take me with them, so their loss will be your gain! Why not take advantage today?

Hi… my name is Morris,

Adopted 12-13-16

I guess a lot of orange cats are destined to be named Morris! Well, that’s fine with me, because I was saved just in the nick of time, so you can call me whatever you’d like! My rescuer said, “This cat showed up in my yard one night. My dogs aren’t kind to kitties, and were attacking him, so I brought him to TALGV to keep him safe.” Whew! Thank you, nice lady! Needless to say, I was a bit wary when I first arrived, and I also needed some patching up here and there, but now things are calming down, and I’m getting to know and enjoy people. I’m about 4 years old, and I know that once I find my very own home, I’ll be eternally grateful for a safe haven!

Hi… my name is Pumpkin,

Adopted 3-4-17

The first thing you need to know about me is that if you’re a huge TV fan, you might need to turn up the volume a bit as my purr sometimes drowns everything out! The second thing is that I’m one of the most gentle, cuddly, and sweet guys you’ll ever meet! The third thing is that I sometimes try to scoot out the door when you’re not looking, so you need to keep an eye on me! Actually, I think it’s just that I’m still pretty much a playful and curious kitten at 2½ and just need an active family that will provide some entertainment for me. You could do us both a really big favor and make this “The Year Pumpkin Came into my Life!” It’ll be a milestone, I promise!

Hi… my name is Reebok.

Adopted October 5, 2016

A wonderful man adopted my brother, Adidas, and me a while back, but when he developed respiratory COPD, he realized that, much as he adored us, we just added to his breathing problems. We were originally part of the “Sneaker” litter of kittens, have been together all our lives, and loved playing together. A foster mom we had for a while said, “Reebok is the hunter, the talker, and the in-your-face guy. They’re loving with their people (but not other pets). They relish watching birds and lizards through a screen door, and love a handful of treats at bedtime. If you appreciate interaction with your cats, “the Sneakers” are for you!” Since Adidas has gone to a new home now, it’s too late to adopt both of us, but come to meet me soon so I can have a forever home with you.

Hi… my name is Adidas,

Adopted November 27, 2015

A very nice elderly lady adopted my brother, Reebok, and me a while back (we were originally part of the “Sneaker litter” at TALGV!), but when her health took a turn for the worse, she was unable to care for both of us at once. She decided to keep Reebok for the nonce (not sure how she made that decision-–kinda hurt the old ego!), so for now, it’s just me looking for love again. I’m a laid back 4-year-old boy who loves window watching (there’s just so much going on out there!) and I love attention (ok, on my terms–but it is pretty often!), so I know I’ll be just the antidote to your “I need some feline company” blues!

Hi… my name is Marcella,

Adopted with Casper 12-16-17

Although I’m not a “lap cat” per se, I’m more of a “sit-beside-you-as-close-as-I-can-get” kind of lady, and a real sweetheart to boot who still likes to chase toys. Sadly, after mom died, no one was able to take my housemate, Casper, and me, so having come from TALGV originally we’re back to say “howdy” and start looking for new people to charm. Everyone is calling us “Romeo and Juliet” because we’re seen cuddling in a cubby together, and although we don’t have to go together, it sure would be nice! I’m said to be outgoing and social and am just biding my time waiting for “that certain someone” to come meet me, have their heart melted, and “feel the love”!

Hi… my name is Gypsy,

Adopted 12-3-16

Yes, I’ve got a “girlie” name, but I’ve gone through several “sex changes” since I arrived (first female, then male, then female, and now they’re sure I’m a guy!). In any case, I’m a totally friendly, outgoing, 6-month-old loverboy who will make your life that much happier no matter what sex I am! The man who rescued me from the streets only had me for a few months before he died, but the neighbors who fed me said I was “curious about everything,” and a guy who “never knew a stranger.” I’m enjoying the safety of my digs here, but would sure rather have the run of your place so I can release my inner lion and share my very own brand of feline enchantment!

Hi… my name is Tristan,

Adopted 1-10-17

You just never know where you’re going to land when you jump a fence! I was exploring a neighborhood in Madera Highlands when I hopped into a nice lady’s yard and the next thing you know, here I am! (Given that I’m one of the friendliest, purriest, guys around, I probably belonged to someone who didn’t realize the perils of the free-roaming life for cats and is now ruing my loss). Even though TALGV is the “Taj Mahal” of shelters, truth be told, since I’m a lover of the first order (like my namesake in the opera!) I really want to share that with humans not just other felines so why don’t you help me be sure my story has a happy ending?
