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?

Hi… my name is Meg,

Adopted May 7, 2016

I’m not normally one to indulge in hubris, but If orange is your color, then I’ve got it for you in spades, ‘cause with eyes to match my fur, I’m one gorgeous gal! I’m a “mystery girl” who was just “hanging out” under a trailer at a home in the far reaches of Sahuarita Road, so you can just make up anything you like about my past. But the present is really what we’re concerned about, and I can tell you that I’m a total pushover for head and ear scratching, and I’m sure I have lots more wonderful personality traits just waiting to be discovered. And at only about a year old, we’ll have years and years to explore them together. So what say you? Let’s give life together a chance!

Hi…. my name is Mango,

Adopted May 8, 2016

Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” and that’s what has happened for my friends, Petro, Ben, Bookstore, Riley, Moses, and me. Although our starting point wasn’t exactly that far away, we did come quite a distance in order for TALGV to save us from a shelter that is closing. It’s taking us a while to settle in after our long trip, but if you just spend a few minutes with us, you’ll see how much we’re all longing for human companionship and interaction – especially that wonderful ear and chin scratching! And purr? Well, let me tell you! We’re all “yearlings” who have tons of time ahead of us to be able to fill your heart and home with love – one purr at a time.

Hi… my name is Chase,

Adopted with Chad 4-1-19

So far, life hasn’t been a big bowl of cream for my brother Chad and me. After our dad died, someone thought they were doing a good deed by leaving us outside and feeding us, but after a few months, we became more defensive, as there were so many threatening things out there. Once upon a time I was a very sweet guy though, and with the help of the volunteers, I’m slowly coming around. I just know that with patience and love in a nice quiet home the “old me” will come to the fore. Everyone feels that is would be easier for us to adjust if Chad and I were adopted together, so this is my plea for you to give us a chance!

Hi… my name is Simba.

Adopted February 13, 2016

If you’re dreaming of a feline friend who’ll entertain, cuddle, and purr his way into your heart, then your dreams are about to come true! My mom adopted me when I was just a bouncing baby, but when her son (my primary “caregiver”) moved into a place that didn’t allow pets, and she was going to be traveling for six months, I had to come back so I could find another human to love. Mom said that I was an easy rider who loved to play with toys (hey, I’m still a kitten!), liked to sleep on top of the fridge (we cats love high places!), and was a real “no sweat” guy. Well, they’re saying that “orange is the new black,” so why not take me home and find out!  (PS – Hope you like my baby picture… the last one in the gallery.)

Hi… my name is Red Velvet,

Adopted December 24, 2015

The day my siblings, Coconut, Tiramisu, Custard, and I were named, someone must have been having a real dessert craving – or they knew that we were going to live up to our names in the sweetness department! In any case I’m doing my best to justify my name, as I’m beginning to crave attention (and the attendant ear/chin scratches) more and more each day. To top it all off, I’m a darling, medium-haired boy who’s been endowed with spectacular good looks that will have you under my spell in no time. I’ve been here a while now – some of my kin have already found homes -– so why not let me brighten up your holidays plus many of your years to come?

Hi… my name is Graham (aka Jake),

Adopted January 3, 2016

Nothing lasts forever they say, but when my BFF Tallulah and I were adopted together back in 2012, we thought our new home would be just that. Well, life’s unpredictable, so when our dad became ill and went into hospice care, we knew that things were about to change. Even though I’m laid back at the moment, since I’m still very much a youngster at 4 years, I like to chase the odd pipe cleaner, love swatting those fascinating feather toys, and, best of all, I adore being petted. I’ve never been around kids, so I expect that an adult home that would be willing to give me (and maybe my housemate?) lots of love would help me get back to my old, endearingly winning ways.
