Alice is a pretty, medium-haired tabby with very soft fur.  Alice is a little nervous around new people - never mean, just scared.  She will need a patient home and we are hoping she can be adopted with her sister, Jenny.  Alice will need to having regular brushing to keep from matting.

Oftentimes, he's even trying to come out in the lobby, since he loves to be the center of attention and wants to catch everyone as they come through that door. When you stop on in, he's hard to miss, he just has that "I'm way too cool to be here" vibe and really is a charmer!

Yoder

photo of Yoder photo of Yoder photo of Yoder

Male, Domestic Long Hair

Yoder is a cat that made one of the biggest changes since coming into the shelter. He was used to living on the streets, so you can only imagine what it was like for him to randomly get put in a kennel and have to be around humans. After a lot of patience from the staff and volunteers Yoder has become a very very sweet cat. He really loves getting pets, and likes to be out and about between the cat rooms. This guy really deserves to have a home of his own though, so please stop by and check him out.
