Shirley is a sweet female domestic longhair mix being cared for at Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF).

Good news: Shirley is already house-trained, has had all of her shots, and she is spayed.

Notes on Shirley:

I like to get my own way, and I usually do. I’m not fond of other animals, but I like people who worship me. I enjoy sitting on their laps. I appreciate it when they gently brush my regal tresses. But if people start bossing me around as if I were a dog, I'll express my displeasure.

Lucy is a sweet female domestic shorthair mix being kept at MAS Rescue.

Fear not: She's already house-trained, vaccinated and spayed.

Here's what Lucy's friends at MAS Rescue think of her:

Lucy is now a very friendly cat. She sits on the floor next to her foster mom and will chirp at her for attention. Lucy will require a little time in her new home to gain the trust of her guardian, but once she loves, she will love you with all her heart.

Salem is a darling male domestic shorthair mix currently housed at Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF).

Salem will get along great with your children, dogs and adult cats. He's been vaccinated and neutered, and he has mastered his house-training etiquette.

More about Salem:

I’m the kind of cat who likes to keep his cool by lounging on the bed, my favorite spot, far from the madding crowd. When something doesn’t suit me, I grumble. Like anyone who’s been dumped, I take a while to assess new situations. But once I feel at home, I’m a very nice boy to have around.

Dexter is a male domestic shorthair mix currently residing at Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF).

Dexter loves dogs, cats and kids. Good news: He is already house-trained and neutered, and he has had all his shots.

Notes on Dexter:

I love to be petted and lie around, and if you can’t find me, I might be snuggled under your covers. I’m pretty easy going, except I’m not willing to share my humans, so I have to be your only feline companion.
