Hi… my name is Nell.

Adopted July 31, 2015

Life hasn’t been easy for me lately. I spent a lot of time just “hanging out” in a neighborhood off North Abrego Drive cadging food and water from the neighbors while managing to dodge all the resident dogs (boy, did I ever hate them!). Well I’m finally here, and I must admit it’s taking me a while to adjust to life again. I’m a gorgeous, medium-haired, calico Japanese Bobtail lady, and I do like petting now and again, but, like a lot of felines, when I’ve had enough, I’ll let you know. But I’m sure as the weeks go by, I’ll become more and more the lady I’m meant to be and realize that humans really do mean well and begin yearning for a quiet home of my own. Maybe yours?

Arrived June 24, 2014.

Hi… my name is Kipper.

I was adopted July 28, 2014.

My first family lost their home and had to move in with friends until they found a new one. They had great things to say about me – I was good with their kids, was playful, and loved to sleep with them in bed. A couple adopted me shortly after I arrived, and although they said I was sweet, loved to play with a laser light, bask in windows, and to sit beside them on the computer desk to “help out,” I was a bit too “needy,” so they decided I should find a place where I’d get more attention. I’m a delightful orange tabby boy who is still pretty much a kitten, so wouldn’t sharing all the joy I’ll engender in the many years ahead of me be amazing?

Hi… my name is Cheddar.

I was adopted on August 31, 2014.

There sure have been a lot of needy kittens lately! You know spring and summer are always “kitten and puppy seasons,” but there have been a lot more abandoned or orphaned infants found this year than usual. In my case, my mom was frightened off by dogs, and although the owner waited a few days, she never came back, so my siblings and I got to come to TALGV where a foster parent took care of my “needs” until I was okay on my own. Now that I’m self-sufficient (and growing by leaps and bounds!), I’m way past ready to move on to a “Life of Riley” that will make up for my less-than-auspicious start in life. I’m am orange tabby boy who promises to be the light of your life!

Hi… my name is Sam.

Adopted January 30, 2015.

For someone who was living on the streets for months (or longer, no one really knows), I sure am a lover! When I first arrived, I was in pretty sad shape. I had dirty ears, a scratched nose, a broken tooth, a sore on my left leg, scabs on my head, and was in dire need of a bath. But, baby, look at me now! It’s amazing what good vet care and lots of TLC will do for a fellow! I’m an outgoing orange and white guy, and they say that I’m a very sweet, social guy who loves to be picked up, held, and petted (I understand lots of cats don’t like that too much, but boy, I just LOVE it!). I’m better with adults than kids though, so if you’re lonely and have a spot for me on your lap and in your heart, I want to meet you right now!

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.
