Honey Bear

Hi… my name is Honey Bear.

When I first arrived at TALGV I was mighty shy I can tell you (I’d been living on my own for a while and at some time was the recipient of a clipped left ear courtesy of a trap/neuter/release program), but the volunteers have been working with me and say I’ve made great strides in the getting-to-know-how-nice-humans-can-be department. I can be playful and affectionate (I’m not a lap cat yet, but you never know!), and do enjoy some of my feline friends here (especially Frank and Russell who give me confidence). I’m a handsome orange marmalade guy, and if you give me some time and patience, I’m pretty sure I’ll come around and may even live up to my name someday!

Kino

Hi… my name is Kino.

Adopted June 19, 2015

I guess if you’re from Tucson, you can guess where I was found — right on the ramp of I10 at Ajo and Kino Parkway! To say I’m lucky to be alive would be the understatement of the century! Well, I am, and boy do I plan on doing a lot of living and loving to celebrate! As an orange tabby boy, I’m going to be typical of that breed — outgoing, super people friendly, and when I’m “Morris-size,” handsome to boot. Right now I have sky-blue eyes, so I’m betting (and hoping!) that you’ll want to make me yours if for no other reason than to see if they stay that way! Well, that and my sparkling personality — what a combo!

Archimedes

Hi… my name is Archimedes (aka Archie 2).

Adopted June 28, 2015

For some reason I seem to end up with people that move on and can’t take me with them! My original owner was in the military and was posted overseas, and then the family that adopted me in 2012 decided to move back east to a place that didn’t allow pets. I’m beginning to get a complex, because I’m really a great guy who loves laps and to follow you around the house, so I’m a great companion! I’m a fairly large, 6-year-old orange tabby boy, who has lived with another cat, so I’m hoping to find a quiet settled home where there won’t be any more moves that don’t include me. Seriously, I want stability in my life, and I’m hopeful you’ll provide that for to me!

Ernie

Hi… my name is Ernie.

Adopted June 7, 2015

Yes, I know, some cats don’t travel well, but my siblings (Bert and Oreo) 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 carrying my toys around on the off chance you’ll toss or dangle them for me, sitting in your lap, and will love you unconditionally, so I’m hoping my great personality will win you over after just a brief tête-à-tête!

Bert

Hi… my name is Bert.

Adopted February 12, 2016

Yes, I know, some cats don’t travel well, but my siblings (Ernie and Oreo) 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 treats and sitting in your lap, 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!

Little Big Man

Hi… my name is Little Big Man.

Adopted July 28, 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 mom recently developed extreme health issues, so unfortunately my friend, Baby Girl, and I needed to move on. Dad said, “Although initially shy with strangers he soon comes out to investigate. He loves sitting on his mom’s chest, and will chase everything. He is a real sweetheart and loves to have his face and head petted – but the not rest of him unless he’s standing up.” I’m a handsome 3-year-old orange tabby who just needs one last home that I’m hoping will include Baby Girl.

Frankie

Hi… my name is Frankie.

Adopted June 26, 2015

The pet biographer just loves it when owners provide a lot of personality information about us because it makes her job so much easier! So, with no further ado, here’s what my people (who had to move to care for sick family) said: “Frankie is playful, friendly, very sweet, and great with the kids, dogs, and other cats. He loves to play with balls, cat toys, and with other cats (running, wrestling, and jumping). He is very docile with children and can be picked up, carried, and laid upside down (maybe not his favorite thing in the world though!). He is a very sweet/loving boy who is well behaved and well mannered.” WHOA! With those bona fides and gorgeous orange eyes that match my marmalade coat, what are you waiting for?

Flounder

Hi… my name is Flounder.

Adopted May 14, 2015

My mom, a dog (that we never interacted with since he lived outside), my siblings, Ariel, Meowner, 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 typically delightful and companionable orange tabby boy, 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)!

Gary

Hi… my name is Gary.

Adopted September 15, 2015

After two weeks of feeding me in his garage and searching for my owners, my rescuer was taking off for parts north for the summer and knew no one else was going to look out for me so he brought me to TALGV. It’s pretty obvious that I’d been on my own for a while as I was a bit, uh, “ratty” when I arrived, and have lost most of the vision in one eye (they think I can see light and dark), but that hasn’t stopped me one bit from being a delightful fellow who just wants human attention, regularly-delivered meals, and a safe, loving place to call my own. I’m a youngish quintessential “Morris-type” orange tabby guy who only wants to be your new best friend!

Arrived April 30, 2015

Leonard

Hi… my name is Leonard,

Adopted 1-1-18

Sometimes the best of intentions go awry. My folks had hearts of gold and just couldn’t say “no” when a stray cat arrived in their yard. After they’d accumulated 20 of us, they realized they needed help finding us safe homes, so TALGV’s Outreach Program came to the rescue. The volunteers say that I’m kind of an introverted guy with humans (I get along great with the other cats though!), so I tend to stay in my cubby and, therefore, miss out on being appreciated for the sweet and mellow fellow I am. They did agree, however, that with patience and love, in a nice quiet home I’d definitely be a wonderful companion for someone. I’ve been waiting a long time, so won’t you be the one to give me that chance?

Marmalade

Hi… my name is Marmalade.

Adopted May 18, 2016

I’ve sure crammed a lot of living into my five years, and not a whole lot of it has been good, so I’m really looking forward to a turnaround pretty soon! First, everyone thought I was feral because I was roaming the streets (but they found that in fact I’m a total lover!). Then I tested positive for FIV, but please don’t let that scare you away because I’m an otherwise healthy guy and may never have any symptoms at all. (I could live very nicely with another FIV cat — and we have a few to choose from here!) Truthfully, I’d be happy in any situation as long as I had a human to share my love with, so won’t you help me get a new lease on life?

Arrived March 5, 2015

PS If ANY cat considers you for adoption, you know you’re pretty lucky, but if one of our few FIV cats picks you, you can be sure you’re REALLY special!

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!

Nibbles

Hi… my name is Nibbles.

Adopted January 30, 2015.

When you’ve lived with twelve other cats and three dogs, you’ve got to be considered a pretty flexible feline! All of my tribe came to TALGV after my mom went into a nursing home (even for those places that allow a pet to accompany its person, my menagerie was a bit over the top!), so although some of us are taking longer to adjust than others, I know that we’ll all prevail in the end. The volunteers say we’re all basically very sweet cats (some of us are understandably more outgoing than others) and just need new homes where we’re sure to settle in in no time. I’m a handsome shorthaired orange tabby and white guy who’s yearning for the chance to show you just how adaptable and loving I can be.

Arrived January 17, 2015.
