Pepper is the longest resident at Animal Advocates after she and several other cats were displaced by a house fire. The other cats that were brought in have been adopted, but Pepper was extremely wary of people at first. But with patience and lots of positive reinforcement, Pepper has come a long way! The way to Pepper’s spicy heart is through treats and playtime. She will come out to play with wand toys and accepts treats and pets from her favorite volunteers.

Tuna Melt arrived after being found outside during winter after being rescued by a local resident who saw her out in the neighborhood. Having never known the sights of life inside, Tuna Melt was wary of people and the new environment. But with patience and consistency, volunteer caregivers have made incremental progress with Tuna. She has two BFFs at the rescue in Harvey and Peony, who love to spend the days lounging in the sun on the enclosed “catio” porch at the rescue.

Harvey came to Animal Advocates after being rescued by local good samaritans who saw him hanging out in their neighborhood. At first hesitant and wary of people, Harvey has come a long way in his time at the rescue. He LOVES catnip and quickly warms up after any kind of treat. Once acclimated, Harvey loves giving head butts and seeking out pets from trusted caregivers at the rescue. Harvey enjoys the “catio” and hanging with his pal Peony, who protects and assures Harvey.

Peony was seen scrounging food from a waste bin in a residential neighborhood with her kitten pal Harvey. At first hesitant and wary of new environments, Peony is slowly learning people are safe and life indoors is easy living! Peony is slowly making progress and accepts gentle pets from her favorite volunteers at the rescue. She enjoys sitting on the enclosed “catio” and hanging with other felines at the rescue, especially her best bud Harvey, with whom she cuddles every night.

Layla had previously resided at a local business and kept the employees entertained, but when the business was sold, she found herself at Animal Advocates. Layla can be hesitant around new people, but responds when she is approached and loves her treats and head scratches. She acts tough at first, but if you’re patient and let her sniff your hand she will lean in for some pets. We imagine that in a home Layla would enjoy sitting nearby on a windowsill or the top of a couch while her family watches TV.

We get to know each animal’s personality and needs, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters. We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped.
