Desperate Housecats
As the seasons grow warmer, CVHS experiences a massive influx of kittens.  Our cute and cuddly kittens rarely stay at the shelter long. While this is wonderful, our young adults, adults and seniors are often overlooked throughout the season.  These special cats, waiting for their second chance, will be honored with a reduced adoption fee to help them on their way to finding their new home. 

 Just look for the symbol of love (a heart) on our cages to denote which of our feline friends is a
member of the "Desperate Housecats" club.

    

**Each Adoption Includes:**
 Free phone consultation with a Animal Behaviorist

Sandy

Hi, my name is Sandy! I am a really sweet girl, but I'm a little on the shy side, so I would probably benefit from a home with another cat or two to buddy up with. I am more likely to be found snuggling under the blankets than out exploring, but I enjoy attention from people and would love to get to know you!

Mango

Hello, I'm Mango. Brought to CVHS as a timid stray, I will need time to adjust to a new home. I am ok with other cats and having another feline companion in my new home would be best to help me adjust. I would prefer a calmer home with older children. Dogs may be to much for me. If you feel that you would have the proper home enviroment for me, please stop by to meet me.

Age:2 Years Sex: SF Breed: DMH

 

 

 

Frankie

Hello, I'm Frankie. I was brought to CVHS by my owners as I'd prefer to be the only child. See, I like to have things my way and I need a home with patience for me. I need time to adjust as new situations make me very nervous and uneasy. I am independent and quiet and will come to you for attention when I want it. I'd prefer to just sit at the sunny window and soak in the sun. If you think we'd make a good match come by and meet me.

Hi, my name is Aeris, I was brought in with my mom and my brother. I am good with cats and dogs. I have a shy disposition but if you get to know me I know you will fall in love. I am still getting used to being held and would do best in a home with kids 10+. Do you have room in your family for an affectionate girl like me?

Age: 11 Months Sex: SF Breed: DSH

 

 

 

Lightning

Hello, I'm Lighting. I was returned to CVHS as the household I was living in didn't suit my needs. I'm unsure of what it could have been so now I'm asking to be placed in a home that is fairly quiet and will slowling introduce me to my new home. I have lived with cats in the past and I can handle that, just on a small level (one other cat). I get overwhelmed very easily. .

Age: approx. 4 years Sex: SF Breed: DSH

Poxie

Meet Poxie: a fantastic feline looking for her forever home. This affectionate and outgoing beauty would fit in just fine in most families. A household with other feline friends would be no issue for Poxie, as she's been known to get along with them in her previous home and here at CVHS. Although she wouldn't mind lounging in her new owner's lap all day, Poxie could use a little assistance regaining her trim figure. Pouncing and chasing after a variety of cat toys would be a wonderful way to help this fabulous girl reach this goal!

Arrived at CVHS as a stray, I'm looking for a new home. I'm a bit shy at first but I am very sweet. I am fine with other cats but dogs are unknown.

Sage

Shy and sweet, I prefer a quieter lifestyle.  I have been around children and don't mind them as long as they can be gentle with me.  I have had limited exposure to other animals thus far but, am learning to be more confident around other cats.  Dogs may be a bit too stressful for me.  If you were looking for an indoor, lovey, lap cat extraordinaire, come snuggle me and see if we are a perfect match!

Age:  9 Years Sex: SF Breed: DSH

 

I have a reduced adoption fee. 

 

Mickie

Hello I'm Mickie...I was sadly brought to the shelter when my elderly owner was no longer able to provide basic care for me. In my previous home, I was used to doing my own thing and simply being able to be about.  I do like to get up on laps and snuggle by at my own pace if you don't mind.  You see, I am an indepedent kind of girl.  Due to my want to go at my own speed, I would prefer older or no children.  I can coexist with other cats but, really do not care if I have a feline friend or not. If you have a sunny window I can sleep all day in, then I would be happy!
