This is Big John.

Big John is great.

You should adopt Big John.

He originally came to us as a stray brought in by a client with concern over his left eye. His eyelid was curling in and rubbing his cornea. This has been fixed and he is healing well.

He has been vaccinated, but he does have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. And that's ok because he still has many years left in him.

Big John does not like other cats, which is OK because sometimes we don't like other people either. He does want to be a couch potato.

Adopt Big John.

Who is this handsome boy?

Milo is a three years-old, male neutered, Husky-Shepherd mix weighing about 70 lbs. He came to us about two months ago when an elderly client felt they could no longer handle him.

Turns out, Milo is a great boy that needs to get out of the kennel. He is certainly a goof ball who wants to stretch his legs. He is friendly, affectionate, and wants to be your shadow. He is dog-friendly with polite dogs, but may be better as the only pet in the house.

He is iffy with cats: sometimes ignoring them and sometimes that prey drive kicks in. So placing him in a home with cats is a no-go.

He is up to date on all his vaccinations and negative on his heartworm and f***l tests. He is pretty much ready to go for the right family.

Contact us after the holiday if you would like to meet him.

Rhonda (smaller) and Druscilla (round face) are a sweet and gentle pair of sisters who are looking for a home together after their owner moved into assisted living. These girls are treat motivated and love butt scratches! Once they are comfortable with you, you will have their hearts forever. They get along well with other cats and just need a place to unwind and let loose! Both girls are spayed and microchipped, up to date vaccines, and FIV/FeLV negative!

Looking for a handsome pair of cats to play and snuggle with? Patrick (larger white stripe) and Seamus (smaller white stripe) are your guys! These approximately 5 year old brothers are extremely playful! They love to chase feather wands, bat around balls, and carry catnip mice. They are great around dogs and would be wonderful in a home with kids. Seamus especially loves to be cradled like a baby and carried. Both boys are neutered, up to date on vaccines, and FIV/FeLV negative. They do require a prescription food for their sensitive digestive system. We would love to see them go to a home together where they can get all the love and attention they so desperately crave!

Marcellus is a young, handsome, easy going guy looking for a home. He came to us after being trapped as a feral cat, and we quickly learned he isn't actually feral at all! Marcel loves lounging, eating, and chatting. He will eagerly roll over for a belly rub and makes excellent biscuits! Marcel is up to date on vaccines, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and unbothered by both cats and dogs. He is a staff favorite and with his luscious locks and friendly personality, it's easy to see why! Please give us a call if you are interested in meeting him.

As you might be able to tell, Bacardi is a very special cat. He is a 12 year old neutered and front declawed Bengal in need of a home! Bacardi is an extremely vocal boy! He loves to chat and is constantly asking for attention. Bacardi was surrendered to us after undergoing major family changes at home. He is a little confused as to what happened and misses having a family of his own. The hospital is proving to be a stressful environment for Bacardi, as he is not a fan of other cats. He just needs a human to spoil him and quiet place in which to spend his golden years! If you are interested in meeting Bacardi, please give us a call.
