Larry and Magic are two really fun cats that came from the same home. Both are two-year old males. Magic is a good size tuxedo with perfect markings and big green eyes and Larry is a big buff boy with pale green eyes. These brothers are really playful and super affectionate to boot. Their wish is to be with a loving family for the holidays.

Hey guinea pig lovers, the two friendliest guinea pigs in the world are now residing at the shelter and looking for forever homes. Both are really exceptional, they’ve been hand raised, love to interact with people and actually come to the side of the cage for attention and eats. Out of all the guinea pigs that have been here these guys are about the nicest ever.

Maple is a big calico boy with a lovely singing voice, and Onyx is an Abyssinian with a shiny, long black coat. Onyx sings quite a bit as well. Even if you’re not in a position to take one home you can still stop in and visit, they need affection as much as any creature.

We have a special needs cat looking for that special angel to fulfill her life. Holly is a six year-old tabby that came to us from an unfortunate situation and is not always trusting of people. She needs that special owner who will allow her the time and space to set the boundaries and learn to trust. During her time with us she has begun to come around and will continue to once she feels confident in a forever home.
