Icicle is one of the kitties that arrived in September 2012, when we took in 21 cats and kittens from one location. There are only 4 of those cats/kittens, like Icicle, still looking for forever homes! Icicle was born about 9/7/12, is affectionate and playful, and should do well in pretty much any sort of […]

Featured cats: our leftover kittens!
We have four kittens, born 9/3 (Engelbert) and 9/7 (the three “I” sisters), who have watched pretty much all the other kittens head out to their new homes… these four are still waiting, but we know there are great homes out there for each of them! Engelbert is a medium-haired boy; Icicle, Iliana, and Irmagard […]

End of summer Black Cat Blowout!
As usually happens around this time of year, the shelter is full of black and black/white cats and juveniles; these are the kittens that are last to be adopted from their litters, the “leftovers” after everyone has taken home the “pretty” kittens. They are the cats that visitors don’t notice, because they are black and […]
Another adoptable kitten: ERMINE!
Ermine and his 4 siblings were born about 5/25/12, to a stray mama kitty (Cacique, who will also be available for adoption). These kittens came into the adoption program on 7/14, and are being well socialized in a foster home; we expect they will be great indoor or indoor-outdoor kitties (though they should be kept […]
Today’s featured kittens: Babbler and Blackbird!
Babbler and Blackbird were born on 5/11/12, and came to the shelter as a Stop the Cycle litter; we have spayed the mama kitty, and are now looking for homes for these adorable babies. Mama kitty was pretty young, we think this was her first litter, and the kittens are a little small for their […]
Today’s featured cats: SISKEL and EBERT
Siskel (orange) and Ebert (black) were born 3/7/12, and were surrendered to the shelter as a Stop the Cycle litter; the mama kitty has been spayed (thanks to her sponsor who paid for her spay!), and now it’s time to find homes for these 2 cuties. These kittens are being socialized in a foster home, […]

The first three of the kittens that were abandoned outside the shelter in a box have gone to their new homes today. Dulanzi and Dumbria were adopted as a pair, and will have a wonderful life in a home filled with love, with birds and dogs and children and another older pair of kitties. Denia […]

New adoptable cats: Molly’s Kittens!
These kittens were born 6/24/11, and were surrendered to the shelter along with their mom Molly when the kittens were just 2 weeks old. We’ve had them fostering with our wonderful Foster Mama Charlene, and as a result, the kittens are all wonderfully socialized, very easy to handle, affectionate, curious, and playful – they will […]
New adoptable pets: Phoebe and the Kittens!
Here we have Phoebe and her five practically identical little boy kittens! They were surrendered to the shelter by someone who was no longer able to care for them, and now all are up for adoption.

Lucky Sylvie the Great Pyrenees/Malamute mix, and Mystic (formerly Patch Tuesday), one of Poppie’s kittens, went home with Republic area families on 5/31. We’ve included one of Mystic’s baby photos above – amazing how much they change in just a couple of months. YAY for happy endings!
Bringing Home Your New Cat
One key to making successful shelter cat placements is managing the expectations of their new people. Here is some information, gleaned from various websites and the personal experiences of our adopters and volunteers, which we like to share with each cat adopter before the day they bring their new family member home. Have other ideas […]
Adoptable kitten: SHERLOCK
Today we are featuring SHERLOCK, the third boy in Poppie’s kittens. He looks like he is going to be a long-haired cat (or at least medium-haired), love his soft fluffiness! These kittens turned 6 weeks old on 5/2, and all will be ready to go to their new homes by 6/1. See more photos of […]
Adoptable Kitten: MELVIN
Poppie’s featured adoptable kitten for today is Melvin. We think he will probably be a short haired adult cat; he has the cutest markings! As a black and white kitten, he is statistically likely to be the last of the litter adopted, but whomever finally chooses Melvin is in for a fun, frisky time. Melvin […]
Adoptable kitten: SILVERLIGHT
Poppie’s kittens turned 5 weeks old on 4/26, and they all now have individual listings. Today we are featuring SILVERLIGHT. He is a very handsome grey and white boy, who looks like he will have medium-length fur when he’s full grown. You can see more photos, the latest video, and get adoption information on his […]
Single Kitten Syndrome – yoo haz it?
Kittens are like hyper-wound balls of energy, and work off their energy best when having another animal to play with. Two kittens around the same age do well together because they are both at the same stage of development, and both want to POUNCE and TUSSLE and ROLL and RACE AROUND. In the absence of […]
