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?

Tux

Hi… my name is Tux.

Adopted 11-9-16

Tux comes with FREE Vet Care for Life.

The volunteers say that I’m way overdue for a home of my own! I’ve been at TALGV since 2009, and am a totally handsome, longhaired Tuxedo gentleman who is that in every way: I’m gentle, never use my claws, have a soft voice, adore laps and petting, like to help with household chores, and even enjoy assisting you with crossword puzzles if you’re of a mind! I actually did go to live with a family once, but the resident cat and I had our “differences,” so I’m hoping for a home where I can be the only feline in your life. Not to toot my own horn (but who else will?) – I don’t think you’ll find a better addition to your life than me! And I come with Free Vet Care for Life – so there!

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!

Hi… my name is Libra.

For a relative youngster, I’ve led a pretty exciting life (and not necessarily the best kind of exciting!). A family in Sahuarita found me when I was about to have kittens, so they kept me until they were born and weaned and then brought us here to TALGV. Since we were living outside much of the time, we all contracted ringworm (and I have a scar on my throat from what might have been a dog attack), but after being treated for four weeks, we’ve all been pronounced healthy as can be, and I’m half-past ready to get on with my life in a safer, indoor environment! I’m a lithe, classic tabby and white girl, who is very friendly, outgoing, and love to play. I’d rather not live with dogs again though, so if you have a quiet home where it can be just you and me (and maybe another feline), that would suit me to a “T”!

Hi… my name is Pacho.

My dad died last year, and although my mom tried to keep my poodle friend and me with her, when she had to move to a smaller place, she just wasn’t able to take us along. Mom was awfully sad to let me go, and said, “He’s a lover who will lick you to death then show you where the silver is hidden,” so I guess that means that I pretty much never met a stranger I didn’t like! I’m a red Heeler mix boy and in addition to getting along with Andy, I lived with five cats, so I can, as they say, ”do it all!” Actually, I’ve never lived with kids, but I’m sure that if they were polite and gentle, I’d think they were fine, too. Now might be just the time to think of adding a new love to your life, so I’d be happy to be the one!

Note: Because of my age I qualify for TALGV’s Senior Vet-Care-for-Life program.

Hi… my name is Buddy Boy.

I was adopted on March 23, 2014.

Sometimes you wonder why people bring pets into their lives and then leave them in a yard to amuse themselves. I’m sure my mom (who recently died) loved me, but she never spent much time in training me, so now I’m hoping that I’ll finally find someone who will recognize my potential and make that investment. My mom’s son said, “Buddy is a good dog; he just needs some training,” and I’m here to tell you that I’m 100% in agreement with that statement! I do know the basics — sit, stay, and down — and I love to play fetch and chase a Frisbee, so with some patient guidance, I know I can be the pal you’re looking for. I’m a medium size white and tan Staffie mix who will be with you through thick and thin after you’ve made the commitment to my education.

Hi… my name is Harleigh.

I was adopted on May 25, 2014.

My dad went into a memory care facility and my long-time girlfriend, Honey, and I were left alone in our home for several weeks. We had a yard and a doggie door and a neighbor who came to feed us, but we were still awfully lonely so we were really glad when TALGV came to our rescue. We’re living with a foster mom at the moment, and she really thinks it important that we be adopted together because we’ve become so dependent on each other. I’m a 56-pound Border collie mix lady who is in terrific shape for my age (I still love to play ball — a border collie trait if there ever was one!), and if you’ll let me, I’d like to sleep on the bed with you, too! We’re both housebroken, good with kids, and just generally laid-back girls, so I know that we’d be a great addition to any family.

P.S. Because of my age I qualify for TALGV’s Senior Vet-Care-for-Life program.

Hi… my name is Socks.

In December 2012 I was dropped in the yard of winter visitors who had just arrived, and they’ve been feeding me ever since. Well, when they were heading back home for the summer, they didn’t want to see me abandoned again, they brought me to TALGV. While I lived with them they said that I loved to rub against legs, play with their two cats (they said we were “best pals”!), and that I adored to be petted and brushed. Unfortunately, I’ve been found to be FIV positive, which means that I need to be the only cat in your life (although I could live quite nicely with another FIV positive cat, and there just happens to be one here named Suttles!). I’m  a handsome brown and white tabby gentleman, and all I need is that special someone who will show me the love that I crave. I’m hopeful that’s you!

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 O’Sirrus.

Adopted December 24, 2014.

“New person in home is allergic.” I wonder how many cats have heard that? Wouldn’t it be great if the pharmaceutical industry could develop a simple, one-time, “get rid of pet allergies” shot for humans! I lived with my family, including one kid and two dogs, for several years, and they say that although I’m not the hunkering-down lap-sitting type, I’m a friendly guy who does like to be next to you on a chair or the sofa (and in bed sometimes!). I’m also a real “looker” with long, black and white “Tuxedo” coloring, am about 7 years old now and still looking for that celebrated “forever” home. Won’t you prove to me that it’s really not a dream?

Hi… my name is Bailey.

Adopted April 28, 2015

In 2009 I went to live with my single mom, another dog, and a cat after I’d been “dumped” at a neighbor’s home and have been there ever since. Unfortunately, her circumstances changed and she had to move to an apartment where they only allowed one dog, so “last in, first to go,” made me “odd girl out.”  I’m a sweet, high-energy, heeler mix girl, who is housebroken, knows quite a few commands, and loves to play ball (I need a few lessons in returning it though!). I get along well with everyone (well, sometimes I’m a little shy), but since I spent a lot of time in the yard, I could use a little more training so that I can be the perfect companion. If you have a nice, big fenced yard, and time to spend on my education, I know you and I will be the best of friends.

Arrived January 30, 2013.
