Billy

Hi… my name is Billy.

I was adopted July 26, 2014.

I’m a declawed, orange tabby guy, and at 19 pounds, I’m pretty impressive if I do say so myself (I know, I could lose a few pounds so I’m on a diet like lots of people in the New Year)! I lived with my first family for six years until my dad developed a lot of allergies, so they brought me to TALGV. I was adopted a year ago by a couple, but they couldn’t keep me any longer. In the past, I’ve gotten along with older children and other animals, and although I’m not a real lap cat (maybe just as well, considering!) I love being petted and sitting next to you (and playing with a laser light and catnip mice — think exercise, exercise, exercise!), and I’m really anxious to find a home I’ll never have to leave, so please come see me – I don’t take up THAT much room, and I’ll make a great companion!

Hi… my name is Stitch.

I was adopted May 10, 2014.

I was just a wee kitten a year ago when my little family adopted me. Everyone had a grand time watching me grow up and life was a bed of roses until a new baby arrived a few months ago. I got along great with their 3-year-old and the two resident dogs, but I guess the addition of one more critter (who seemed to be getting WAY more attention than I was!) diverted me from the straight and narrow and my exemplary behavior changed. So here I am — looking for that special place in life where I can “have it all” as they say! I’m a handsome (and I DO come when you call me that!) flamepoint Siamese mix boy who loves cat toys (especially balls), and although I’m fairly shy (maybe because of all the action?) I’m sure if you’ll give me one more chance to prove myself, you won’t be disappointed!

Hi… my name is Balthazar.

They called Frank Sinatra “old blue eyes,” but I certainly qualify for that nickname too (well, not the “old” part!). A really nice man in Sahuarita found me crying outside his garage and as soon as he opened the house door in I scooted. He was going away for the holidays the next day so couldn’t keep me. (I guess that, plus the fact that he had nine dogs — who didn’t faze me one bit — meant that his home was not meant to be mine.) While he had me though, he said that I was super friendly and “seemed like I belonged to someone,” but since no one has come looking for me, I’m now available to YOU! I’m a handsome, gentle, mostly white Siamese mix young fellow with a hint of orange tabby thrown in for good measure, and I’ve got lots of time to show you how right he was!

Hi… my name is Arizona.

I’ve got to tell you that I’m really getting lonesome here by myself! I know, with all the other cats around, you might wonder how I can be lonely, but the truth is I’ve been busy raising my six kittens, and now that they’re all gone, I’m having that “empty nest syndrome” that humans fall prey to. I’m only about a year old, so I’m still pretty much a kitten myself (yes, I was a “teen mom”!) and the volunteers all say that I’m one of the nicest, most mellow cats they’ve ever known. I was an excellent mother (that won’t happen again though!), and because I had my babies around me so much, I’m a real lap-sitting snuggle bunny. I’m very unusual in that I’m an orange tabby female, (most orange tabbies are male), so I’d like to share my “unusualness” and my wonderful temperament with someone who will give me one more chance at life.

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?
