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!

Max

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!

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!

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!

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?
