Lakeland Animal Shelter

Sweet Tara is still looking for her forever home. Tara has grown so much but still a work in progress- aren’t we all?!? Ask about her today!

Meet Rocky! Rocky came to the shelter as a stray. He was found left by a restaurant sign guarding the area and had been there for days. As soon as law enforcement went out to get Rocky, he let them know what he thought of them. Even though he was upset with strangers being there, he wouldn’t leave his spot next to the sign. Staff from the shelter was asked for help. A couple shelter members answered the call and went right out there. Rocky wasn’t happy to see either of them, but after sometime talking to him, shelter members were able to load him up in the vehicle and get him to safety. Rocky has been slow to open up to strangers, only befriending a few select staff and volunteers. We know he has the ability to get there! Rock will need a home with No kids and multiple meetings before going home. Ask about him today!

Meet Wobbles (aka Thelma): The Sweetest Little Fighter Wobbles is a 3-month-old female kitten with an extra-special charm. Born with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), also known as wobbly cat syndrome, she has a unique way of moving through the world. CH is a congenital neurological condition that affects balance and coordination, but it doesn’t cause pain or worsen over time. Wobbles doesn’t see herself as different—she’s just a kitten full of life and love! Despite her wobbly steps, Wobbles is a fierce little player! She loves to wrestle with her sister and foster siblings, and her determination to keep up with the fun is nothing short of inspiring. When playtime is over, Wobbles transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug, climbing up to curl under your chin, purring contentedly as she soaks up all the love. Wobbles is living proof that her condition doesn’t define her. She’s happy, active, and ready to bring endless joy to a family who will love her just as she is. If you’re looking for a kitten who will inspire you every day with her resilience and sweetness, Wobbles is waiting for you to be her forever home. All cats will have the following •4 months •Spayed •Fecal Exam •FIV/FeLv test •Microchipped •Current for age appropriate vaccines •Wormed •Has CH What is CH?
