Dulce, domestic

Dulce is a sweet female domestic cat in the care of Animal Aid Inc.

Dulce would prefer a home without small children. She's already house-trained. She is spayed, and she has had all her shots.

Notes from Dulce's caretakers:

I'm the adorable Dulce and I can't wait to meet you. I'm a fluffy and social cat who is doing well with other cats here at the shelter. I do sometimes get overstimulated with petting and nip so I shouldn't go to a home with young children. Sometimes I'm a talker. I love to flop over and show you my belly. Sometimes I will even let you pet it, but sometimes it's a trap. I like to cuddle. I really enjoy playtime too.

Sissy, domestic shorthair mix

Sissy is a charming female domestic shorthair mix currently housed at Northwest Animal Companions.

Sissy will get along great with other cats. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She already has had all of her shots, and she's spayed.

From Sissy's current caretaker:

She will follow you around the house and watch you as you go about your business. She is quite shy right now but with love and dedicated time she will be a great companion. She will do best in a home with other cats that are confident around people. Sissy's favorite spot to lounge is next to a window watching the wild animals play in the yard. In the evening she will jump up and snuggle around your feet as you sleep. If you want to play with her all you have to do is get out the red laser pointer and she will be after it.

Notes from Jack's caretakers:

He is so soft and snuggly. He is curious about everything, but needs to build his confidence. His favorite spot to lounge around in is on top of the cat tree looking out the window. He loves watching the birds and squirrels run around the yard. When you want to play with Jack all you have to do is get out the Red Laser Pointer and he will chase that forever. When you head to bed you can bet that Jack will be up there with you by your legs for the evening. Jack needs to be in a home with at least one other cat. He doesn't mind kids and hides when dogs are around.

I’m a bit of a shy guy, but I really like petting. I had a home for a little while, but something was stressing out my brother and I, and we came back to the shelter. Marvin and I need to go home together, and we are often found cuddling. We had some litter box accidents in our previous home, but we’ve had no problems with the litter box here at the shelter.

I’m Kahlua, and I’m one cool dude. I’m a laid back guy who likes some loving and some food and some play time (usually in that order). Sometimes I like to talk to you to beg for my food, but I don’t have a very loud meow. I am a diabetic kitty, so I get an insulin shot twice a day. I’m super good at taking my shot, and I don’t feel it at all. My blood sugar is pretty well regulated on my insulin, and I eat a prescription diet for that, too.
