Hi… my name is Trapper.

Adopted March 24, 2016

I was kind of enjoying bring free and easy in a Canoa Heights neighborhood for a while, but the residents were pretty sure that my life wasn’t going to be worth a plug nickel for very long living “paw to mouth” out there, so now I’m doing my “roaming” at TALGV. Pleasant as it is though, I have to say that I’d way rather be doing it in a nice house with lots of rooms and nooks and crannies to explore (or even better a screened Arizona room where I could keep a “close up and personal” eye on everything!). I’m a handsome, “Morris-like” orange tabby guy, and I’m pretty sure that “certain something” you’ve been dreaming about is me!

Arrived January 24, 2013.

Hi… my name is Freckles.

I was seen wandering in Madera Highlands for about a month before I showed up at the back door of a home there hoping they’d take me in (and feed me!). They did, but unfortunately they weren’t “in the market” for another pet at the moment, so here I am, seeking my fortune elsewhere. It appeared from a few dings and nicks on my paw that I’d been in a tussle with another critter or gotten it stuck somewhere, but that’s healing nicely, and I’ll be good as new in no time. While I was at my rescuers’ home, I met their dogs and cats and I seemed to get along fine with them, so maybe I’d be okay with a friend or two in a new home. I’m an orange tabby boy, about a year old, and I know I’ll be one of those “forever grateful” companions in the second of my nine lives!

Hi… my name is Baby Cat.

Adopted February 7, 2015

You can really get attached to someone after living with them for eight years, so you’ll forgive me if I’m a little on the reserved side at the moment. My mom had to move to an assisted living place near her family in Kansas, and as is the case most times, my housemate, Mama Cat, and I couldn’t go along too (she found another home with a wonderful family, so I’m hoping that one of these days it will be my turn!). I’m a lovely calico lady, and after bit of a “settling in” time I’m sure I’ll make friends pretty easily. I’ve never been around children or dogs, so I think that another home with a quiet, older person or couple would be just right. I know there are a lot of felines to choose from here, but I’d be ever so grateful if you’d give me a second chance!

Hi… my name is Spice.

Adopted 6-21-17 (presently resides at TALGV)

I’m a pretty young calico girl who’s a single mom!  Yes, I came to TALGV with four beautiful kittens, and most have already been adopted.  A nice lady found us in a backyard and brought us to TALGV, which is tons better than hanging around outside in this heat with no food – and it was difficult raising four little ones when you don’t have a home.  There’s no Food Bank for cats!  I’m finished with my “mom duties” now so I’m looking for my forever home with a nice family.  No more kids for me!  I’m very sweet and I’d be very affectionate and grateful to the person who chooses me.  So come take a look at me.  Don’t you think I deserve a good rest now that my parenting is over? And I can keep you company while I’m having it!

Hi… my name is Pumpkin.

Adopted December 29, 2014.

It seems like everyone is moving these days and not taking their pets with them, but my family moved out of the country, so I understand that it was hard to take me along, too. I lived with them for three years (they inherited me from a friend who was, you guessed it, moving!), so I’ve lived with a young couple, a 6-year-old whirlwind human, another cat (with whom I was madly in love!), and a puppy, and I must say that I much preferred the first four over the puppy! I’m a very easy going, orange tabby guy who loves to be brushed (I need it periodically as I tend to shed a bit), and because I really miss my feline lady friend, I would probably love to have another one to chat with about “cat things” and life in general. I’m eminently adaptable, so I’m hoping you’ll be the same, and take me into your life!

Hi… my name is Li’l Pumpkin.

Adopted with Cheeto December 1, 2015

I’m must be upfront with you and admit that since I arrived with a whole passel of cats I got lost in the shuffle when it came to socialization. But on the plus side, I’m a super-handsome, 2½ -year-old, longhaired, orange tabby and white boy and I’m sure that in a peaceful home with people who have time and patience to “wait out” my shyness, I’ll overcome that in no time. My absolute best friend and soul mate, Cheeto, is also a bit on the reticent side, so the volunteers would like us to be adopted together (moral support, you know!). I’m certain that if you make the effort with us, you’ll be rewarded with two delightful (but undoubtedly always quiet!) companions. But hey! What’s wrong with quiet?

Hi… my name is Ember,

Adopted 12-18-16

Ember comes with FREE Vet Care for Life

I’m a big, beautiful Calico lady, whose name perfectly describes her color. I was so happy living with my mom, but when she moved she couldn’t take me with her and I had to move on too. She said I got along with other cats, but I’ve never been around dogs or children, and since I’m pretty used to a fairly quiet life, very young kids may not be a great idea. Although I’m not your traditional “lap cat,” I am very affectionate and mellow and love to be petted. Although I’m not a youngster any more (I now come with Free Vet Care for Life), I can still be playful at times, so come meet me – despite all the “company” here, I’d love a visitor and a friendly chat!

Hi… My name is Nick.

Adopted June 1, 2015

Hey guys! I’ve been at TALGV for almost three years now and I’m beginning to get a complex! I’m a very, very friendly 6-year-old marmalade boy who was found in a Green Valley family’s back yard. They tried putting me out over the fence, but I came back (twice!) despite the dog and just waited outside their door (I should have been called “Fearless Freddie”!). Although they called around the neighborhood, they had no luck finding my home, so my persistence paid off – I was rescued! Everyone says that I’m a delightfully friendly guy who just seems to get overlooked for some reason, but that I’ll find a home “one of these days.” Well I sure hope it’s soon ‘cause I’ve got a ton of love to give!

Hi… my name is Squiggy,

Adopted December 5, 2015

Hey out there! I’ve been at TALGV for THREE YEARS now, and I think it’s time that someone took a look at me (especially with these gorgeous blue eyes — really unusual in an orange tabby!). Before I arrived, I lived with my senior mom, four other cats, and two dogs. Although I got along fine with all of them in my home, the number of cats here sometimes overwhelms me, so I often keep a low profile. I’m trying not to though and if you’ll come sit in my room and “talk nice” to me, I’ll bet I can convince you that I’m the one for you. Please give me a chance and try it — it might be Karma.

Hi… my name is Jelly Bean,

PERMANENT FOSTER AS OF 12-31-24

Eleven years! That’s how long I’ve been waiting for a home of my own! Because I didn’t appreciate living with other cats, I had that unacceptable “bad behavior” and no one was willing to take a chance that I’d be okay in a home. Well, a wonderful foster mom did take that chance, and I’ve been a perfectly behaved, loving companion to her. I’m chatty, playful (I still get the “zoomies”), and while she’s turning off the TV and lights at night, I go wait for her in bed so we can snuggle up together. She’s sad that she can’t keep me forever, so she’d love to introduce you to me and tell you lots more about what a great transformation a real home has made in me!  (Bio updated July 2021)

Hi… my name is Tiger.

Adopted 10-11-17!!!

I’m a totally gorgeous longhaired, orange tabby lady with knock-your-socks-off green eyes. I lived with five cats and my mom until she lost her home and had to move into an apartment where we weren’t allowed. I’ve been at TALGV for an awful long time now, and I think I understand why I haven’t been chosen yet. I was outgoing and sweet when I first arrived, but then I had to undergo a lot of uncomfortable, daily treatments for my teeth (which are okay now, happily!), and I decided that avoiding people would be in my best interest! With my mom, I was a loving companion, so I think that if I have my own home again with a patient “cat person,” I’ll be the affectionate friend I was always meant to be.

Hi… my name is Archie.

Adopted May 14, 2015

Won’t someone please, PLEASE take me home? I’ve been at TALGV since February 2008 — not a record I’m proud of! I’m a real “cat person’s” cat – I LOVE affection when I want it, and then sometimes I want to be on my own for a while – but I still like to staying close to you. I’m an extroverted (except with other cats!), orange tabby and white boy with no tail,  and am ready to share a life with you that is filled with furry orange love, lap sitting (when the mood strikes), and many hours of feline-type entertainment. If you spend some time getting to know me, maybe you’ll find that we have a special connection – and that just might be the beginning of a beautiful relationship!
