Hi… my name is Figuero.

I’ve been around the block a few times for a teenager as my most recent mom got me from a friend who couldn’t keep me, and then she decided she couldn’t either, so “presto-chango” one more move and here I am! I utterly adore having my ears scratched (I can do all sorts of contortions so that you reach just the right spot!), and although I was allowed outside for a few months, I know life is a lot safer indoors for felines here in the desert, so I’ll be happy to keep you company there for the rest of my life. I’m a young “tuxedo” boy who is going to give your life a whole new meaning when we get together!

Hi… my name is Katy Joe,

Adopted 7-28-18

You know that saying, “You can never be too rich or too thin”? Well, I wouldn’t know about the “rich” part, but when I first arrived at TALGV over a year ago, I really WAS too thin, but in my time here, I’ve managed to put weight on my bones and now I’m a “perfect 10”! After I was here for a while, I was adopted by a couple that had two dogs and two cats, but in just a few months, it became clear that I really wanted to be the only one to rule the roost, so I’m back again in all my shining glory, looking for a place where I can do just that. I’m a lovely, young, pure white girl with spellbinding golden eyes, and although my early life is a mystery, with humans, I’m a sociable, curious little thing who will undoubtedly bring tons of joy to my new family.

Arrived November 14, 2013

Hi… my name is Sweetie Pie.

Adopted April 12, 2015.

If they could have found a better name for me, I don’t know what it would have been! The wonderful lady who found me said, “She’s a super sweet dog who loves to kiss and will make a GREAT PET — I wish I could keep her!” She found me running along Continental Road near the Performing Arts Center and only had me a short time, but said I got along well with her Westie, knew “sit and stay,” and was a very grateful girl to have gotten out of the road. I’m a beautiful grey and white Staffie who is about 3½ years old, and although I had a lot of irritation on my feet when I arrived (probably from walking in the desert) and a few other things that needed attention, the volunteers here will see that I’m all fixed up and ready to move on in no time. Why not visit and see for yourself?

Hi… my name is Lila.

I was adopted May 19, 2014.

My “probably” sister, Leala, and I glommed on to a house in Sahuarita Heights at the end of September, and after the owner fed us for a few weeks and no one showed up looking for us, he brought us here to TALGV. He might have kept us forever, but he already had two other dogs (along with horses, which we never bothered!), so he figured he had a full complement of “dependents.” I’m a lovely young 50 pound Australian heeler mix girl. The volunteers said that I walk “pretty well” on a leash, am friendly with people, seem okay with other dogs (I’ve really bonded with Leala, so it would be great if we could go to a home together!), and am a very sociable girl. I’m “double-dog sure” that with just a bit of education I’ll be a grand addition to your life!

Hi… my name is Toby.

My family adopted me from a shelter when I was nine months old, and I lived with them for three months until it was apparent their resident female and I weren’t ever going to be the best of friends (but WAY on the plus side, I got along great with the two cats and kids they had!). So, that said, everyone is positive that I’ll make a wonderful companion for an active family where I can be “top dog.” I’m a handsome, young 53-pound, Staffie mix boy, and my dad says, “Toby is very cuddly, thinks he’s a lap dog, wants to please, and is a quick learner.” I’ve been to obedience school and know sit, come, let go, and wait — all really important commands for us canines to master, so I’m betting I’ll find a place of honor in your life in no time after you take me home!

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 Bailey June.

My family (which included two kids ages 10 and 12) said that I’m “very playful, loving, and cuddles a lot,” so that gives you an idea of how much I like critters of the human kind. My canine housemate, however, was a different story, and he and I didn’t get along well at all, so if there’s a home with an active family out there that’s missing the companionship of a devoted friend, then I know I can fill that void! I’m a tan and white Staffie mix girl, who, although I spent a good deal of time outdoors, would very much like to be a part of your everyday life indoors, too. Being still very much a youngster, you know that I’m chock full of energy and eager to learn new things, so I know I’ll have the basics of indoor living down in a flash. Why don’t you be the one to teach me?

Hi… my name is Sara.

Sara probably isn’t my real name, because my dad died and amidst the hubbub in the house, I managed to escape and the Realtor who rescued me didn’t know a whole lot about my background. What we can tell you is that I am a real “purrpot” who loves to be held, have my chin and ears scratched, and will be your new best friend when you make me yours. I’m a young and lovely example of the classic tabby and white breed — although a fairly common one, we’re known for our winning ways and UNcommon affection. I must tell you that I’m a little overwhelmed here at the moment with all the other felines around, so I’m hoping that my shining personality will win me a place in your heart really soon. You’ll never know unless you visit me, so come have a seat — I’ll do the rest!

Hi… my name is Mandy.

Adopted December 28, 2014.

After my dad died over a year ago, I came to TALGV with my brother, Rusty. Since we’d been together all our lives and rely on each other for comfort and company, the volunteers would like to see us adopted together. Sadly, our mom has recently had to have surgery and she can no longer care for us, so we’re back looking for a home that will take us both again. I’m a lovely grey and white lady who is very loving, gets attached to my owner, and likes to crawl on laps and cuddle. They say I also need to have some blankets around, as I love to sleep completely covered underneath them. I may be a bit shy at first, but I warm up once I know you, and having Rusty around would help me in that department, too. I’ll bet your life would be a lot brighter with two gentle sweethearts like us!

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!

Sal

Hi… my name is Sal.

I was adopted March 23, 2014.

I’m an extraordinarily handsome little guy with the most rare of color for a feline – sort of charcoal tabby with a little white on my chest — and like all kittens, I’m just as sweet as can be.  I was found living in a power plant by some workers who brought me to TALGV where I joined all the other kittens here (there’s been a bumper crop of them this year!). They say that I “purr on contact,” so you know that I’m really craving my very own human that I can sing my “songs” for! I’ve grown up a bit since I first arrived and am a teenager, but I’m still a lover and am waiting (a little impatiently!) for that special person to fall in love with me. I do so hope that you’re right around the corner!
