Adopt Cali!

This cuddly cutie is super smart, loves to learn new skills and tricks, and is eager to please. She just loves spending time with her people! Cali might enjoy a dog buddy or two but would rather not share her home with another dog. She has done well with a confident, dog-savvy cat, but she sometimes wants to play a little more than the cat does. This beautiful, 15-lb miniature American shepherd (aka mini Aussie) is looking for a relatively quiet adult-only home. She is 5 years old, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known health issues. Cali’s current family is not a good fit for her; we are helping them find this sweetie’s forever home through our shelter intake prevention program, Project Hope. Find her full bio here.

Meet Finn!

Finn is a really fun cat who delights in interacting with people in his own way. Confident and social, he loves to hang out with people, happily lounging nearby where he can keep tabs on all the action. He's the kind of cat who'd love to accompany you on walks, either on harness and leash or in a cat stroller or backpack, or maybe even chill with you while you're drinking coffee at an outdoor cafe or enjoying a frosty beverage at a beer garden. He's smart and food motivated, which means he loves learning tricks. He already knows how to sit, sit up, spin, and give a high-five on cue. And he's a playful little imp. He'll provide you with hours of entertainment running after and pouncing on toys with kittenish abandon. He doesn't like to be petted a lot and isn't a lap cat, but that doesn't mean he's standoffish or aloof. On the contrary, he's super social, but just not fond of touch. And if you think about it, that's not so hard to understand. You probably know at least one person who's outgoing but not very physically affectionate. If it's okay for humans to be that way, it's okay for cats, too! Find his full bio here.
