Meet Blake and Whit!

These two are opposites but the same, getting both ends of the cat spectrum. Blake is more introverted and appreciates his personal space, while Whit is a chatterbox who doesn't know what personal space is! Blake will curl up in his hiding spot while Whit sits or lies on you. If you leave your hand resting somewhere, Whit will nudge it to remind you to pet him. So thoughtful!

These boys are shy at first, but once they're comfortable, they LOVE attention! They love being petted, playing with their toys, watching the birds and squirrels out the window, and playing with each other!

Blake's favorite spots are in the sun and cuddled up next to you! Both boys are cuddlers and will seize every moment they can for cuddles and scratches.

Blake and Whit are litter box trained and don't scratch furniture or walls. While Whit is burrowed in a blanket on the couch watching Cat TV, Blake is perched up somewhere high, finding the best spot with the best views! These kitties would do best in a home without dogs, as they make them pretty nervous.

If you think these two are your purrfect match, apply to adopt Blake and Whit!

Eddie is a one-year-old tan dog who's searching for his perfect family!

Eddie is playful, energetic, and loves nothing more than a game of tug of war with his rope toys! He is a social butterfly who has lived with other dogs before. He's a sweet and friendly boy who loves to be around people! Eddie does get nervous around younger children and would do best in a home with older, respectful children who know how to interact with dogs.

If you're looking for an energetic playful pup to add to your home? Apply to adopt Eddie today!
