Thank you for your interest in Celeste. She is a 9 year old Domestic Short Hair. Celeste is a beautiful and incredibly sweet kitty looking for a wonderful forever home. She loves being petted or brushed on any lap, nearly as much as her other hobby - napping on people. Celeste wants to be as close to you as possible, and is happy to sleep under the sheets, or by your cheek on your pillow if you let her! She responds to any attention with an enthusiastic purr and some lovely head butts. Celeste has a very tolerant personality, and only protests something she dislikes with a plaintive meow. She will roll over for tummy rubs, and also loves to play with wand toys. Celeste enjoys the company of a very cat-friendly dog in her foster home, but is not comfortable around other cats - she will be happiest as an only cat. Celeste is already spayed. Celeste is currently in a foster home, but arrangements can be made if you'd like to meet her. Just stop by our Adoptions desk at the shelter and ask to meet her!

Thank you for your interest in Pearl. She is a 2 year old Domestic Short Hair. Pearl is a lovely lady who’s looking for a quiet, low-key home.

But she’ll warm up nicely if you talk softly to her, provide a little reassurance, and give her some gentle pets. You’ll see in no time that Pearl is a very affectionate girl. She loves being treated to lots of head rubs, chin scratches, and cheek scratches. Pearl also enjoys luxuriating on comfy cat beds and would be more than happy to keep you company while you’re reading a book or watching TV. Pearl is a very sweet girl and has a ton of love to give. Come meet this great girl today!
