Hello I’m Cielo!

Consider Cielo’s reserved nature a side-effect of his having spent more than half his life surviving the urban wild. Though it can take Cielo some time to warm up to new people, he hopes for a family who will show him what it means to be cherished and loved. Cielo is litterbox trained and good with other cats. He enjoys playing when (he thinks) no one is looking. He is a good, mild-mannered youngster who simply needs a chance in the right environment.

Meet Sienna & Fiona!

Fiona and her best-friend Sienna were both adopted from our shelter back in 2017, but their family’s living situation has since changed and these senior ladies now find themselves in need of a new home. Fiona is described as water-loving and goofy, not so much into toys, and outdoorsy.  Sienna is the more outgoing of the pair. She loves stuffed toys and playing catch. This pair are great with kids, house-broken, non-destructive when left alone, and affectionate! Fiona and Sienna are considered a bonded pair, as they have lived in each other’s company since their time at the shelter 8 years ago, and they would do best in a home if they stay together. Do you have room in your heart for these two sweet seniors?

“Hercules is doing great! He has settled in and thriving. We couldn’t be happier with our newest family member. He is no longer fearful or shy and his playful personality is shining through. He acts like a puppy and keeps us laughing with his antics. We adore him!”

“We have named her Peppa… like Peppa Pig since she snorts like a pig lol. We are loving her, she fits right in. We are still working on potty training and her skin issue has cleared up, but other than that, our family is loving our new addition!”
