1. Cecil

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 42 mi from Conway

This handsome tabby boy has blossomed into a friendly, well-socialized kitten who enjoys spending his days playing, exploring, and making new friends.

3. Toby

Senior · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 42 mi from Conway

Toby is a big, declawed senior tabby male with the kind of calm, soulful presence that only comes with age and experience. He arrived at the shelter after his owner could no longer keep him and it’s clear Toby was deeply loved. He carries himself with quiet dignity and a soft sweetness that wins people over instantly. Because Toby is fully declawed, he must remain indoor‑only and would thrive in a calm, predictable environment. He’s perfect for someone who wants a relaxed companion rather than a high‑energy cat. A quiet home with adults or gentle older children would suit him beautifully.You can apply on line at www.hsvawl.org by completing the Adoption Application on either the HOME or the ADOPT page.

5. Monica

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Conway

THE JOYS OF TRYING TO GET THE “PERFECT” ADOPTION PHOTO OF MONICA…Meet Monica—adorable, affectionate, and apparently morally opposed to sitting still for pictures. All I wanted was ONE cute adoption photo.Me: “Monica, look at the camera!” Monica: No. I think I’ll climb on you instead.“Okay, sit still.”Nope.“Monica… just TWO seconds.”How about I crawl into your lap?“PLEASE let me get one good picture!”Monica: Best I can do is sit on your head. After approximately 5,000 attempts, I realized maybe these ARE the perfect adoption pictures—because they show exactly who Monica is. She’s an active little kitten who wants to be right in the middle of everything, and apparently her favorite place to be is ON HER PERSON.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
