All of our dogs have gone through the ASPCA Meet Your Match Canine-ality assessment in addition to the Assess a Pet and SAFER behavior evaluations.

To find the "canine-ality" of each dog, we administer five assessments, including friendliness, playfulness, energy level, motivation and drive. Based on their results, our dogs are then placed in one of nine, color-coded categories: Purple (Couch Potato, Constant Companion, Teacher's Pet), Orange (Wallflower, Goofball, Busy Bee) and Green (Free Spirit, Life of the Party, Go-Getter). When you come to our shelter, you'll fill out a survey that will tell you which color (purple, orange, green) of dog would be your best match!

CARE volunteers, during their routine shift at the shelter, teach the shelter dogs gracious, polite behavior so when they go out in the real world they will impress everyone they meet. Obedience methods learned from Wendy DeCarlo and Dennis Damon of Dog Obedience Group are used exclusively. We highly recommend that our dogs continue with Dog Obedience Group to ensure a seamless transition into their new home.

Kittens

We put our kittens into foster homes to get them ready for your house! Please call or come by the shelter during adoption hours to speak to an adoption counselor for information on current availability.

Mimi

Domestic Shorthair, 10 years old, Calico, Spayed female.

You may think I have the feisty calico personality at first, but it's just because people I've never met before (and vacuum cleaners) scare me a little! Maybe if I pretend, you'll think I'm a tough kitty. Really, it's an act, and I'm a very sweet girl who loves to have my head scratched. Right between the ears! I am looking for a quiet forever home with a soft, comfy bed for me to curl up on! If you are patient and give me some time to warm up, I'll be your favorite snuggly couch companion!

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Purple / Private Investigator.

Adoption Information:

Mimi has lived with other cats in the past. We don't know how she feels about dogs.

No children under 12 years old.

Mimi needs an experience owner with a quiet home.

She should be fed CD multicare food only.

Mimi is microchipped, spayed, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Please come to the shelter to meet Mimi and speak to an adoption counselor for more information about her. Thank you.

Augusta

Domestic Longhair, 3 years old, Brown Tabby, Spayed female.

Augusta is currently in a foster home.

I was found as a stray, and at 3 years old, I've become pretty independant and used to fending for myself. I am not used to being around people yet, and am not really sure how to react to toys or what petting is all about! So I need a patient person who is willing to coax me out of my shell and teach me how wonderful a quiet, comfortable home can be. That's all I really want, anyway! Don't give up on me, I know we can figure this out together!

Adoption Information:

Augusta should be in a home without any children.

She needs an experienced owner as she is a nervous cat. Her first reaction to new things is to be suspicious and growly.

Augusta is microchipped, spayed, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Please come to the shelter to meet Augusta and speak to an adoption counselor for more information about her. Thank you.

Ludwig

Domestic Shorthair, 1 - 3 years old, Black and White Tuxedo, Neutered male.

I'm all dressed up in my best tuxedo and ready to go home with you! I'm a calm, mellow cat and would fit best a quiet home with lots of warm spots to snuggle in, including your lap! No need to run around and play like a kitten when all I really want is to hang out with you! Sometimes, I get a little vocal when I'm uncomfortable or in a new situation, but a little bit of attention will help me settle down. Please come take me home and I'll help you appreciate the finer things of cat life, like naps in warm sunbeams!

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Orange / Sidekick

Adoption Information:

No children under 10 years old.

Pascha

Domestic Shorthair, 5 years old, Grey Tabby, Spayed female.

I am a sweet and outgoing girl who would love to tell you all about what's on my mind! I need a little space to feel secure in a new environment and I may seem cautious at first. But with a little time and patience, I will fit right into your home! I love attention, especially scratches on my head, but too much at once is a bit overwhelming for me. I like other cats and would enjoy a furry friend. Or if you want to give all your love to me, that's OK too! I can't wait for you to take me home so I can get settled and find my favorite warm spots to nap in!

Adoption Information:

Pascha is okay with cats. We don't know how she feels about dogs.

She should be in a home without any children.

Morgan

Domestic Shorthair, 8 years old, Brown Tabby, Spayed female.

After losing my person when she had to move into a nursing home without me, I needed to hold on to whatever I could call my own. So, I may be a little protective of the little space that I call home and my favorite toys and blankets because I just can't imagine losing them again! No wonder I'm so particular about how I like things and how I interact with people. I need to feel in charge, but I know that the right person will give me a forever home where I can relax and let my sweet nature shine through.

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Purple / Private Investigator.

Adoption Information:

Morgan should be the only pet in an adults only home with prior experience with cats.

She needs a tall-sided litter box and seems to like "crystal" litter the best.

Morgan is microchipped, neutered, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Please come to the shelter to meet Morgan and speak to an adoption counselor for more information about her. Thank you.

Mystic

Domestic Shorthair, 7 - 10 years old, Gray Tabby, Spayed female.

Hi, I'm Mystic! Can I join you and sit in your lap? I love being with people and sitting in people's laps and getting attention from people! People are the best! I would love to find a forever home with people who are around a lot so I can tell them all about my day and hear all about theirs! My previous owners were moving away and weren't home as much as I would have liked. Maybe you will be a perfect match and let me provide the furriness you're missing in your life!

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Orange / Sidekick.

Adoption Information:

We are not sure how Mystic feels about dogs or other cats.

Mystic would do best in an adults only home or a home with respectful children.

Luna

Domestic Shorthair, 7 years old, Brown Tabby, Spayed female.

All I need is a favorite snuggle spot and some gentle pets from my person, and I'm a happy kitty! I love to be brushed since it keeps my coat healthy and beautiful, but my legs and paws are a little sensitive. I am looking for a forever home with a person who understands that my quiet demeanor means I prefer a relaxed and comfortable home. But I may need some encouragement to get the exercise I really need, and catnip-filled socks are my favorite toy. Please give me a chance, and I will be your faithful companion. We can cozy up together on the couch and make these chilly evenings a little warmer!

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Purple / Private Investigator.

Adoption Information:

Pilgrim

Domestic Shorthair, 9 months old, Brown Tabby, Neutered male.

If you're looking for an active, playful cat that's full of energy, I'm your cat! A happy cat is a tired cat, as I like to say, so I am looking for a person who is ready to find lots of ways to expend my energy! I have too much fun to sit still for long, and curling up in a lap isn't my favorite way to spend my time. I love all kinds of toys, but when I'm wound up, I go all out! I haven't been taught boundaries with people when I'm playing, so I can get a little aggressive for inexperienced cat owners. I will fit in best with an active family that will entertain my playful drive and help me stay out of trouble!

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Purple / Secret Admirer.

Adoption Information:

Okay with energetic cats. We don't know how he feels about dogs.

No children under 13 years old.

Pilgrim needs an experienced owner and an extremely boisterous cat playmate since he is an aggressive player.

Pilgrim is microchipped, neutered, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Please come to the shelter to meet Pilgrim and speak to an adoption counselor for more information about him. Thank you.

Botanica

Domestic Shorthair, 1 year old, Brown Tabby, Spayed female.

I really like people and am looking for a new home. In fact, I was found in the garden behind the shelter waiting to come in so you could find me here! I can be a shy girl, and when I first meet you I may be scared. But once I get to know you more, we can have lots of fun together. I love playing with toys, feathers and ribbons. After playtime is over, I may even let you stroke my soft silky fur! I am usually very sweet, but if I get too much attention I can get overwhelmed and a little feisty. Are you an understanding person who can give me a forever home?

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Purple / Secret Admirer.

Adoption Information:

Botanica needs an experienced owner.

No children under 12 years old.

Botanica's mood can change from sweet to feisty when she has had enough attention.

Sora

Domestic Shorthair, 1 1/2 years old, White and Brown Tabby, Spayed female.

Hey there. What are you up to? I'm definitely curious and interested in what you're doing, but not so sure I want to join in yet. I'll just watch you from here for now, then decide if I want to help out. I was given up by my previous owners who could not keep me, so I tend to be a little shy at first. It may take me a minute to warm up to you, but I love my head scritched. Give me a good head rub, and I'll be your sweet, adorable little companion!

ASPCA Feline-ality™ Assessment rating: Purple / Secret Admirer.

Adoption Information:

We don't know how Sora feels about dogs or other cats.

No children under 12 years old.
