Meet Bartleby — a professional lounger with a soft spot for the finer things in life. His perfect day starts with a serving of wet food (his absolute favorite), followed by a long, luxurious stretch on the scratching post, and ends exactly where it should: curled up in his cushy bed for a well-earned nap. Bartleby is a calm, cozy companion who appreciates comfort and routine. He’s the kind of cat who will remind you to slow down, relax, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key buddy who excels at snacking, stretching, and snoozing, Bartleby might just be your perfect match.

Meet Dier! This sweet and gentle boy is full of love and adventure! Dier loves to explore, whether that’s keeping himself occupied in a fenced in yard, or with the company of his people on adventures. He’s treat motivated and knows how to sit on command. He takes treats like the well behaved boy he is. He has some interest in toys, but hasn’t quite figured out what to do with them. He is crate trained and has done well around young children. He may need some time learning his routine and rules, but he’s smart and with some patience (and some treat motivation) we’re positive he’ll come around to be the most loyal and well-behaved boy! If you’re interested in meeting Dier, stop by the shelter today!
