Sam and his sister, Lena, were dumped off in the middle of the road in front of a volunteer's farm. They were sitting in the middle of the road, confused & scared. The volunteer was able to pick them up and bring them to the shelter.  Sam has been in our shelter ever since, even surviving FIP! He has become an amazing adult cat, and a loving and consistent friend in our shelter.

Sam is as handsome as he is sweet. He seems to attract a little bullying from some of the more outgoing or aggressive cats in our shelter. We are not sure why this is or if it is just Sam being "overly sensitive". Either way, we love him so much and we would love for him to finally have the opportunity to have a home and family of his own. 

 

Sam is a survivor!

This kitty is an FIP Survivor. Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) was once 100% fatal, but now thanks to an amazing group of researchers this is changing. In 2023 about 80% of cats diagnosed and treated are being saved. In Summer of 2024 the drug used to treat this disease became legal for USA vets to prescribe. 

Cats that survive FIP do not require any special medications, or food, just lots of love and attention. It is important that they continue regular annual checkups to monitor their health.

This beautiful mama came to our shelter with her four kittens. (Check out the Spice Kittens!) She is a great mom, very loving and protective of her kittens, even though she was barely an adult herself. (Cinnamon is just a little over a year old now) She always stands up when anyone comes in their room, and watches us closely when we handle her babies. The kittens are healthy and perfect, all thanks to Cinnamon! Everyone is ready to start finding homes, especially Mama. She is a super friendly and loving cat. We know she could fit into most families, based on how much she seems to enjoy attention now, and how mellow she seems. After everything she did to help her kittens start a wonderful life, Cinnamon now deserves a second chance for herself. 

​

All of our kitties have s/n completed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.  If you'd like to meet her or any of our great cats/kittens please submit an online adoption application at littleorphans.org. Please give our Adoption Team time to process all the info. The more complete your application is determines how quickly we are able to process your application. Please try to give your vets office (give prior authorization to release information to us), landlord, and references a heads up to expect our call. 

Ringo is such a sweet cat. He is still confused as to the hows and whys of being at the shelter, but he is slowly coming out of his shell. He came in with 5 other kittens, not all from the same litter as they are different ages but all get along well with each other. We know very little of their life before they came to us so we are working hard to get to know each of them. Ringo is probably the most timid of the six. If you approach him slowly you are able to pet and love on him. We know with a little time and patience he will figure out that people and their attention are good. Ringo is fine with all of the other cats, seems okay with the dogs that have came through the shelter, and does seem to want attention from kids and adults alike. If you are looking to add kittens to your family please consider this shy but sweet boy. He would probably blossom quicker with a very outgoing social kitten/young cat as a "partner". Ringo just needs to learn how to be a kitten; meaning a carefree, sun sleeping, bird watching, and much loved family cat. Do you have a the perfect home to do that? Please consider Ringo.

We took in a group of six kittens/teenage kittens we lovingly call the "Desert" kittens. All named after deserts around the world. They arrived as more like "teenage" kittens, old enough to be past the care-free stage, but young enough to not know how to process all the changes. They were scared and unsure of all of us. We had some difficult first days, trying to acclimate these babies to the shelter, and their new home with us. There was some initial hissing and hiding, that is what makes watching each them come out of their shell such a joy! They are starting to become "kittens" now! They play, they are curious, and they will greet us by their door waiting for food and treats. We all just love this and all of them!

Each of these beautiful "desert" kittens has a unique look and personality. Each one is in a different point in the process as far as socialization. The two black kittens (Gibson and Gobi) were the first to come forward, the first to give us their trust, and want affection from volunteers. This has helped us connect with the other kittens as well. 

​

We know these young cats may need just a little extra time to adjust to their new home, but based on what we have seen in the shelter environment, they will quickly become loving members of their new family. Please give these young and beautiful souls a chance at a beautiful life.

**Gobi is a solid black female kitten**

Look at this beautiful tabby lady! Rosie has the cutest face, little round body, and definitely all the tabby charm. Being the new girl on the block, Rosie approaches with caution but is really all in for love and affection. She seems fine with other cats, a little unsure, but not at all aggressive or mean. Rosie could fit into almost any family, she would be great as a single cat, or good with others as kind as her. This girl just longs to be loved, and to find a place to call home FOREVER. 

Rosie deserves a second chance at a happy life.  Our kitties have s/n completed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.  If you'd like to meet her or any of our great cats/kittens please submit an online adoption application at littleorphans.org.

Sahara has now learned from Kalahari and  these two now run around the shelter, trying to rub against our cats, and volunteers for attention (and treats).   We know these young cats may need just a little extra time to adjust to their new home, but based on what we have seen in the shelter environment, they will quickly become loving members of their new family.

If approached quietly and slowly, Sahara does enjoy attention and will allow you to pet him.

We love this sweet kitten so much! After arriving at our shelter, Baby Jane quickly became a shelter favorite! This little girl was tiny but mighty. Anything she lacked in size she certainly made up for in personality! She started to grow up quickly in our shelter and eventually went on an adventure to The Cat's Brew. Here she was able to meet tons of people and show off a bit. Which this pretty girl loves. Baby Jane was adopted, but unfortunately the homes older cat did not take kindly to Baby Jane's youthful beauty and decided it was time for her to "go back to where she came from" so that is what she did. Baby Jane wanted us to make it clear, (as did her adopters) this was not Baby Jane's fault, and she did nothing to cause this issue. All that said, Baby Jane would be fine in a home with other cats, as she lived with many at the shelter, and also at the Cat's Brew without issue. She would do great with a younger cat or a friendly adult cat that is willing to put up with a "younger girl" in his/her space. 

**For kitties listed as "@ The Cat's Brew" please see their facebook page, or website on how to reserve a time to hang out with the kitties. You will be able to meet all of the cats (normally nine) at that location to find your "purrrfect" fit!

Mojave is probably still the most timid. He will stand behind the other kittens at times, but you can see he wants to trust, and really wants love. Mojave is not aggressive, just still a little scared, he like the others, continues to make progress.  He would probably do best with the support of one of his siblings to assist in the transition to a forever home.
