7. Antman
Orange Love Bug Alert! Handsome Antman was born in March 2022 and adopted as a kitten. Unfortunately, his owner had some circumstances come up in their life and had to move in with family members who had other cats - they quickly found out he doesn't do well with other kitties. Antman is very shy initially but once he gets to know you, he's all in! We hope this four year old young man gets his forever home soon.

8. Ali
Ali is a young man who ended up being trapped in one of our TNR projects. We think this young man was born in September of 2025. The minute our volunteers met him, they knew he was a friendly guy who once had a home because he loves people. He is super sweet, affectionate and SUPER playful. We'll never know how he ended up outside, was he a kitten someone got and lost interest in ? We'll never know because he can't tell us. What he doesn't need to tell us is that he wants a truly forever home because every kitty wants that. He's great with other kitties who want to play with another cat. If he does go to live with another cat, that kitty would also need to want to play with him.

9. Grace
Six-year-old Grace had a rough road to the shelter, and yet she has such a sweet nature. Found in a dumpster on Liberty Street, she was brought home by someone who couldn't give her a forever home. If you're looking for a calm cat with a gentle manner, Grace is the one for you. She's a very sweet good girl who after a rough patch in life, deserves a truly wonderful forever home. She does well with the cats and dogs in her foster home. She also likes to sleep with her foster parents.

10. Liberty Belle
Liberty Belle knows secrets, and she's not telling. This little lady, a stray who is around 3 years old, seems wise beyond her age. She is self-assured and calm, but far from lazy. She simply takes in everything she sees. We picture Liberty Belle in a quiet household with plenty of windowsills to use as perches.
This sweet little Mama gave birth at the shelter on the fourth of July. She's since been living her days caring for her little precious babies in a foster.

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.
