Loonie at Somerset Regional Animal Shelter
When you’re an adult black cat, it can be tough to catch the eye of an adopter, especially when there are so many other black cats at the shelter.
When you’re an adult black cat with the unfortunate name “Loonie” who takes a moment to trust, well, you wait in a cage for months…
Loonie is a wonderful cat who, upon arrival at our shelter, was so nervous and scared she acted, well "looney ".
She's really a sweet, gentle girl who needs to trust before she lets her guard down. Loonie allowed Staff Member Carolyn to hold her while Volunteer Colleen gave her a much needed mani-pedi this past Sunday.
Loonie is looking for a kind and patient person to give her a chance. She deserves all the love a good home can give.
You can see her playing in the video below. ❤️
Stop by to meet Loonie - we’re open daily for adoptions 12-3:30pm.

Meet Coco!
Coco is a sweet, fun and outgoing 6 month female Mini Husky mix who is only 23lbs!
She is hoping that her sparkling blue eyes and awesome dance moves will finally attract her forever family!
Coco loves meeting new people, going on walks and playing with other dogs! She walks well on her leash and loves to learn.
Don’t be fooled by her small size— she has lots of energy and motivation to run, explore, sniff, and play with friends (both doggy and human). She would love to find a home with another dog, maybe even her pal Copito, another mini Husky mix here at the shelter. ❤️
If you’re looking for an exuberant and sweet new addition to the family, come meet Coco!
The shelter is open 12-3:30pm daily.

Cat lady crush: Garfield!
This cat-loving volunteer had the good fortune to meet this super handsome orange fellow with the most beautiful green eyes.
Garfield is a BIG (~20 lbs!) 4 yr old and VERY affectionate ❤️. He gives love chomps when enjoying your attention. Cat savvy folks understand kitty chomps, but he may be best suited for a home without small children who may misconstrue Garfield’s positive intentions.
Stop by the shelter to meet Garfield - we’re open daily 12-3:30pm.

This handsome hunk o’ kitty love is CatTu!
CatTu is 3 yrs old. He’s a big boy with a big ole cat head he likes to bonk into you to ask for pets!
CatTu gives little kisses and he did give me a couple chomps. If you’re a cat person you know that a chomp is an expression of appreciation or affection, but since his chomps were a little hard, we recommend a home with adults/teens (no small kiddos) who will understand his intent.
Want to meet CatTu? Stop by the shelter - we’re open daily noon to 3:30 PM. No appointment necessary.
Our brown nosed boy has been adopted! He and his new mom seemed smitten with one another. ❤️ Happy life Burk!
Meet Burk!
Burk is a wonderful example of our shelter being a stepping stone to a better future.
Burk came in from an overloaded partner shelter and he was rather a tough character. Grumpy and not particularly friendly, we were initially worried about finding him a home. We discovered his teeth were an awful mess and provided a major dental and the care needed to clear up painful infections.
Well! Little did we know, that grumpy boy was actually a sweetheart! Yup!
Once he was feeling good, Burk was social, affectionate…and a biscuit making machine!! Just give him some pets and off he goes! Biscuits to the left, biscuits to the right!
This 7 yr old with the gorgeous eyes is a wonderful boy who likes people and other cats!
Please come meet Burk! We’re open daily noon to 3:30 PM
Meet Ivy! 🌸
Ivy is a sweet, shy girl looking for a new home.
She has been waiting for a while now (she arrived in 2023 😟) -- probably because she is shy on the first meeting, but who can blame a girl? Once Ivy knows you she will warm right up, showing her desire for affection by rubbing against your legs.
Ivy is a fan of wand toys and would love a quieter home where someone will play with her! She also has a stuffed carrot toy she loves to kick and wrestle with.
Ivy is ok with other respectful cats.
She is 3 1/2 yrs old, spayed, UTD on vaccines, and ready to go home! 🏡 💕
To meet Ivy or any of our fabulous felines, stop by the shelter - we’re open daily 12-3:30 PM.
The Backyard Boys!
Zeus (brindle - 1 yr), Kash (small lab - 1 yr), and KJ (black & white - 7 mos) spent a little time in the play yard today, having fun and burning off some youthful energy!
With consistent training to polish their good boy skills, all have the potential to become wonderful pets.
It’s important to remember that when introducing dogs in an open play setting (like a dog park), ensure compatibility, monitor activity, and take breaks when a dog starts to tire out or show signs of unwanted behavior. These boys had a great time under staff supervision and as they started to wind down, they returned to their kennels to greet potential adopters (and have a good drink!).
If you’d like to meet Zeus, Kash, KJ, or any of our wonderful dogs, stop by the shelter - we’re open daily 12-3:30pm.
Special post: PLEASE help Eternity find a home. She is not doing well at the shelter.
Eternity is a sweet, quiet 4 year old cat in desperate need of getting out of the shelter.
This gentle soul is so stressed at the shelter. She sits quietly in her cage, not interacting, not saying”take me home” to visitors, so she’s essentially invisible. Open her cage and offer slow gentle pets and soft words, and she melts and purrs with gratitude.
The shelter vet thinks she has asthma so she takes a little prednisolone pill daily to feel comfortable. It’s a very inexpensive medication (about 13 cents per pill).
Eternity needs a quiet loving home where she will be given the time and patience to adjust to her new surroundings and blossom.
Please, please share her story and if you can offer her the home she needs, please come meet her. She truly is a sweet girl deserving of a home. 🏡 💕

Adopted💕
Toodles is hoping today’s the day she goes home!
Toodles is a sweet 3 yr old girl and when she’s not raiding the treat box, she’s charming staff and volunteers with her silliness!
Toodles grew up with a cat daddy. When he passed and the coroners office arrived, Toodles followed one of the guys around the house. This smart girl had actually chosen a young man whose mom manages a cat rescue! At the rescue, she was around other cats, but kept to herself. With the right introductions, Toodles may be ok with another laid-back cat in a home.
If you’re looking for a sweet, smart kitty pal, please come meet Toodles!
The shelter is open noon to 3:30 PM daily.
