Even full breed cats can end up in a shelter.

An AMERICAN BOBTAIL….

Yes, that is correct 🤎 His name is Simba and he is just 3 yrs old.
Regardless of being a specialty breed, he is just another shelter cat looking for a home.
Simba is a very good boy that loves attention, he follows you around and even comes when you call his name. He enjoys bird hunting on the tv and playing toys. Regardless of breed, this guy is no different than any of the others….
In the end they just want a family 🤎

* Simba will only be adopted to a home with no other cats unless adopted as a pair with his 5 month old son Dozer. (who he already loves and adores)
* he doesn’t seem to mind a cat friendly dog. High energy dogs will be a NO
* not sure what he thinks of small children yet. If he doesn’t care for them then we will be looking for a family with older children or none at all.

If he gets any applications, please be patient as we review them.
We would like to place Simba in a home that best suits him and the family all the same.

If you are interested in adopting Simba, please fill out an application at www.rivervalleyanimalrescue.org

Our beautiful little Bandit is looking for someone to love her🖤

Bandit has been showing us affection for some time now but has recently started to trust new visitors.
She has been at the oasis for a bit but her confidence with new people has really improved so we hope it’s finally her time to get a family of her very own.

Bandit is a 2 yrs old Female

Very friendly to other cats
Would probably like a home with older children

Shannon and her husband adopted several years ago when you had to go to the fosters home to pick out your kitten/ kittens😉

🐾ADOPTED🐾

Gabriella Fancy Pants seems to have daily visitors coming in just to visit her. People come specifically to carry her around and love on her but that’s about it. No one has decided to take her home yet.

She is an independent little kitten when it comes to making friends with our little babies… she really doesn’t care to. You will either find her sleeping alone or curled in between any adult cats that will let her snuggle. OR… in the arms of her visitors 🖤

We can see Gabriella having a life where her family took her everywhere. We can see her in your pocket, on your shoulder, wearing a harness and going everywhere her family wanted to take her.

If this little one sounds like she would fit your lifestyle, please put in an application at www.rivervalleyanimalrescue.org

Gabriella is about 11 weeks old

Sam almost got a home today. He did absolutely everything right, except he was a little younger than what they wanted.

If you’re looking for the perfect teen. He is right here!

Today He gave kisses, Offered his belly without kicking or biting, he was carried around forever without getting antsy and we even cut his nails without scuffing… We pushed the limits to see what might be his tipping point… and there was NOTHING.
Everything we tried made him even more happy 🤎

This little man is going to make an awesome addition to any family. Especially one with younger kids or even other pets. He is big enough to be a solo kitty but what the heck, who doesn’t LOVE friends.
At just 8 months old…. He is more than ready to have a place to call home🤎

If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an application at www.rivervalleyanimalrescue.org

Fat man Rusty can really use a person to love him, play with him or even help bring him back to life. His big heart is broken that he has to be here at the shelter.

It’s hard to watch this big man sleeping in a large litter pan when there are so many warm beds to curl up in. We are constantly pulling him out but not long after he thinks that’s were he needs to wait.
All Rusty needs about 10 minutes of your time to see that you will not bring him harm and he will just light up.
He is kind and gentle to other cats but the presence of 65+ is a bit much for him to take in.

Can someone please come HELP get this man out of the potty pan and into a loving home.

Applications for Rusty can be found at www.rivervalleyanimalrescue.org

Rusty did come with his brother Wiskers (a tuxedo not posted yet) we are not sure how bonded they are because they have seemed to loose each other in the shelter. So we are posting to adopt separately but if you are thinking of adopting a pair, maybe you will consider reuniting the brothers back together🧡🖤

Rusty adoption fee is $100
$150 if you took Wiskers along with him
