Sandy

Hi… my name is Sandy.

Thank goodness for TALGV’s Community Outreach Program! A woman confined my friend, Castle, and me in a cage with no food or water for five days until her neighbor rescued us. We were in bad shape when she first took us in, but she cleaned us up and fed us well, so it didn’t take long for us to get back to our old selves. She would have kept us, but she already had a few other pets that weren’t ecstatic about our arrival, so it was Outreach to the rescue! I’m a lovely, longhaired, orange tabby girl (orange tabbies are almost always males you know, so I’m pretty unusual in lots of ways!), and my rescuer said that I was good with cats and dogs, and really loved people. I know it won’t take long for me to forget my past once I find my new home, so why not help me do just that?

Hi… my name is Mike.

My sister, Julia, and I were returned to TALGV because our dad’s new fiancé and son-in-law were allergic to cats. (I sure do wish someone would develop an “anti-cat-allergy” pill, ‘cause that seems to be an all-too-frequent occurrence.) I lived with him all my life and he said, “This is a great cat. He is very loving, likes his belly scratched, and comes when called.” Hey, what more could you want in a feline? I’m a young orange and white tabby who, like lots of us marmalade guys, is very outgoing and affectionate (seems to be a breed thing!), so I know that I’ll make a wonderfully warm and furry (and endlessly entertaining) addition to your life. I’ll bet if you could see your way clear to take Julia, too, we’d double your pleasure without even twitching a whisker! My motto has always been “the more the merrier” and I’m hoping it’s yours, too!

Hi… my name is Denim,

Adopted 11-5-16

My sister, Paisley, and I came from a home that had lots and lots of animals, and unfortunately our people just couldn’t take care of us any longer. I’m a charming young orange tabby boy who still has lots of all that wonderful playful behavior that makes us younguns so appealing. If you call me, I’ll be more than happy to bounce over to greet you in exchange for a pat on the head. I love being petted and will push my head right into your hand and then turn around so that you can give all the rest of me some attention, too! I’m pretty darn cute if I do say so myself, so won’t you give me a chance to make you smile?

Hi… my name is Tegure.

I was adopted April 30, 2014.

Yes, I have an odd name, but everyone is just calling me “Tigger” — guessing that’s how you pronounce it. No one knows its origin since my mom went into memory care and the caregiver who brought me here didn’t really know a whole lot about me. Suffice it to say, I’m a sweetheart — an orange tabby boy with the most striking sea blue eyes (they’re pretty unusual for a marmalade boy whose eye-color is usually orange or yellow, so you know I’m really a special guy!). I’ve been enjoying the attentions of the volunteers, but truth be told, I’d really rather be in a place of my own again. Since I lived with an older mom, I would probably like that kind of home again, but I’m still basically a youngster, so am probably pretty adaptable. I’m hoping you’d like to help me do just that, so come sit and talk to me!

Hi… my name is Dinah.

I was adopted by my friends at TALGV. I am the official Cat Care Mascot.

My two feline friends, Luella, Bobby Cat, and I had to come to TALGV to find new homes because our mom had developed such severe allergies that she could hardly breathe. Our little home was busy as can be with four kids (ranging in age from 7 to 9 months!) and two dogs, so you can be certain that we are adaptable, gentle and tolerant cats. I’m a beautiful, chubby, declawed, longhaired calico lady and my mom said, “Dinah is very laid back, sweet and loving, and she will purr whenever you pet her.” The only “problem” behavior that she cited was that I got on the furniture, but to my mind, that’s really where I should be — right there next to (or on!) you. Because of my age, I qualify for TALGV’s Vet Care for Life program, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t make me your own right now!

Hi… my name is Simba.

My friend, Sophie, and I lost our mom in 2007, and because of his health, our dad couldn’t take care of us anymore. Sophie found a home of her own, and I went to live with another family for a few years, and although I was a sweet guy, my behavior changed when a new pet and a “male person” were introduced to the house and I didn’t cope well. I am a handsome orange tabby boy and am very friendly, but can be quiet and laid back too. I love my scratching post, to be brushed, and even come to you when called to sit in your lap. Everyone pretty much agrees that when I’m the “only child” in a lady’s-only home where I can be top guy, I’ll revert to my old, impeccable habits. (By the way, since I’m in the “over 10” category, I qualify for TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program!).

Hi… my name is Casey.

My dad went into assisted living and the only thing the people who brought me here said about me was “indoor cat!” Well, I am declawed, after all — although ALL cats should be indoors here in Arizona! What I CAN tell you is that even though I have a “cauliflower ear” (which just really adds to my uniqueness!), I’m a beautiful, longhaired calico lady, who checked out pretty well “health-wise” when I first arrived, and since I’m in the “over 10” category, I qualify for TALGV’s “Vet Care for Life” program!. I weigh just a little over 9 pounds (there’s more fur than body!), and since I lived with a senior citizen, I’m probably going to want to have a fairly quiet home again (but, hey, you never know do you?)! Why not come by and meet me — I’ll bet love will be just around the corner for you!

Hi… my name is Punkin.

When jealousy rears its ugly head, there’s usually a price to pay! I should have known better, but after living with my brother all my life I just didn’t want to share my people’s attention with him any longer, so I started harassing him to the point where everyone was upset. Aside from that one tiny flaw, however, I’m a charming, outgoing, bundle of fun who loves to play with paper balls, in paper bags and boxes (no plastic ones, though as I apparently like to chew on them!), and am a “low maintenance” kind of guy who is a pretty “cheap date” in the cat toy department! I’m a handsome, orange and white, youngster who loves people (I’ve never been around kids or dogs, so not sure about them), so I’ve got my sights set on a family who only wants one feline to shower their affection on. Maybe you?

Hi… my name is Callie Sue.

Adopted December 6, 2014.

We cats sometimes get attached to a “place” as well as our people, and when things change, so might we. I lived with my mom and dad for three years, and everything was hunky-dory until they moved here and my house manners took a bit of a nosedive, so I’m hoping one more change of scenery (and some good house manners examples at TALGV) will give me a whole new outlook on life. I’m a stunning, longhaired calico lady, who knows how to walk on a leash (so I’m safe and can’t chase birds!), will “put up” with a non-aggressive dog (but would rather it be “just me”), and don’t like kids much, but other than that, I’m a downright quiet and loving lady. So won’t you give me just one more chance!

Hi… my name is Max.

Adopted June 17, 2014.

I was a kitten when a young family with three kids and two dogs adopted me. Everything was great until my brother and I started having territorial issues, so they felt it best that I find a new home. I went to live with a couple, but that didn’t work out because I wanted to play, play, play, and they didn’t have enough time for that. So, I’m hoping the “third time’s a charm” for me! I’m an orange tabby guy who got along with everyone (except my brother!) and am generally a gentle, quiet guy. I’ve been known to get on furniture and give the old counter-jump a try, but that’s actually pretty standard behavior for a cat! I hear that there are actually a lot of people who really LIKE to have a furry friend on the sofa or chair next to them, so if you’re one of them, I’ll bet we’d get along just fine!

Hi… my name is Suttles,

Adopted 12-16-16

Suttles is FIV Posiive and comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

Yoohoo out there! It’s about time someone took a gander at me! I’m a handsome, friendly and very sweet guy who loves to be petted. I lived with my mom and several other cats until she moved and left us in her yard and the neighbors brought us to TALGV. Unfortunately, I’ve tested positive for FIV, but please don’t let that scare you away because I’m an otherwise healthy guy (who comes with Free Vet Care for Life) and may never have any symptoms. I could live very nicely with another FIV-positive cat, so I’m dreaming of someone who will love me for my sweet personality and cuddly ways who’ll discover that “special needs” cats often have even more to offer than most in the loving department!

Arrived March 6, 2013; Adopted February 19, 2016; Arrived March 26, 2016

Hi… my name is Percy.

Adopted November 25, 2014.

My mom said I was named Percy because my eyes were so wide when I was just a “runty boy.” Hmm…not quite sure about the connection there, but that’s the deal! She did say that I need a special kind of love — one that’s not “too loud or flashy” because I really get stressed when there’s a lot of “stuff” going on. I am a very sweet, laid back, 6-year-old orange tabby who LOVES to be petted and sleep in your bed (under the covers, if you’ll let me!). I need quiet affection and no other competition — “the sole companion for a person with a sensitive, gentle disposition” they say. I don’t “do” kids well and have never been around dogs, so I’m certain an older, “Green Valley-type person” (you know who you are!), would be just the ticket for me! If you give me your love, I will give it back in spades!
