Pets of the Week

Hello I’m Sage!

I’ve seen and done a lot, but I still love a good challenge. I’m not your typical feline; I’m brave, smart, and I value my independence. I’ve mastered the art of opening doors, solving puzzles, and outsmarting my fellow shelter mates. I enjoy quiet afternoons, observing the world around me, and using my intelligence to make sense of it all. I’m not one to shy away from new experiences, in fact, I thrive on them. I’m looking for a home where my unique personality can shine. If you’re in need of a companion who’s not just a pet, but a partner in adventure, then I’m your cat. Adopt me, and let’s conquer the world together.

Come meet this grand Duke today!

“Gillie and his sweet sister Millie have already become incredibly close and love to wrestle/cuddle all day long! Gillie is a blessing and is exactly the kitty for our little family. Thank you all again for your assistance on ensuring that he got fixed in a timely manner so he could be in my arms sooner! I also attached some pictures of Gillie and Millie together.”

“My dad and I adopted Butch, now Bruno, in early April. Our old staffordshire terrier sadly passed away, but to help us cope, we found Bruno! He is doing great and is starting to warm up to people! He’s definitely more of a ladies fan. He has gained 6lbs, walks daily, and beat his heart worm! He is such a happy boy! :)”
