 Thomasina
Thomasina came to us August 10. She was emaciated, very dirty and her ears rather shriveled. She's kinda chubby now, her coat is beautiful and her ears are still shriveled. Thomasina is at least 5-7 years old and her hips are a little on the stiff side. She gets along well with other cats and kittens as long as they respect her space. Because she is so beautiful and affectionate, she is a staff favorite. She loves to hang out in our cat intake room so you'll have to ask to meet her...we'd love to introduce you!
Fandango & Limbo, Polka & Two Step
Polka, Two Step, Fandango and Limbo came in together last June. They were part of a large group of cats that were taken from their owners because of unsanitary living conditions and neglect. It was a very frightening and traumatic experience for them and they take great comfort in each other’s company. Fandango is the most confident and outgoing of the four. The other three get rather worried and stiff when handled but are not aggressive. They need homes that are not as chaotic as a shelter. They need to be adopted in pairs, and it doesn’t really matter how you pair them up…all four love each other. Please consider giving a pair of these wonderful kitties a loving home. You won’t be sorry. All of their adoption fees have been waived.
Brandy
Brandy came to us as a stray. She was very weak, her ears were infected and her mouth was in pain. After treatment, including a dentistry, her ears and mouth are pain free. However, before she came to us she was declawed and has some permanent tenderness in her front feet. She also has some weakness in her back legs. She’s at least 7 years old and weighs less than 7 pounds. Why would you want to adopt her? Brandy is a lap cat. She will lay on your lap for hours. She talks to you sometimes, but not too often, she always uses her litterbox and she’s absolutely adorable. She needs a gentle home with no small children and someone who has a warm lap to sleep on and a warm heart to love her exactly the way she is.
 RolyPoly
Such a sweet black lab...happy and well-mannered. She came to us September 29 as a stray, already spayed. She's probably about 3 to 4 years old (very nice teeth). She's on a diet and has already lost a couple of pounds. The mobility in her hips isn't perfect, but she has enough energy (and love) to compensate for it. She's often with us in the office, so why not stop in and meet her?
Bingo
 There is a shelter that has a dog, and Bingo is his name-o.
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo is his name-o.
Our Bingo is 6 to 7 years old and came to us August 19. He's small, weighing about 25 pounds...and yes, he barks when he is happy or excited just like a Beagle. He loves people of all ages, other dogs and cats. We'd love to change the lyrics of our song to "There WAS a shelter that HAD a dog, and Bingo WAS his name-o", and we have reduced his adoption fees just to give you a nudge. Why not stop in and take him for a walk...Bingo would love it.
 Austin
I'm a 6-month-old, completely tailless, Manx cat. Did you know that the Manx breed originated before the 18th century on the Isle of Man (hence the name)? Some Manx cats have a stub of a tail...but some of us have absolutely no tail at all. But what really matters is that I'm affectionate, playful and always use my litterbox. Did you also know that Manx cats are known to be great hunters? We can check that out later...but right now I'm busy hunting for a loving home.

 Dee Dee
READ MY STORY - CLICK HERE
The call came in at about 6 o'clock on a Saturday evening in June. A cat was found in the town of Cortlandville with a steel leg trap attached to her left front foot...a trap she had dragged with her as she struggled to find help and relief from the pain. With the trap still attached to her leg we rushed her to the Cornell Veterinary Hospital where they removed the trap from her grossly swollen foot, hydrated her and gave her pain meds to help manage the excrutiating pain she was enduring. We brought her back to the shelter to wait...only time would tell us if the wound would heal or we would have to amputate her leg.
We named her Dee Dee and we think she is about 2 years old. While we waited, we discovered some other health problems including lung worms which are commonly found in cats that spend a lot of time outside and eat infected birds and mice. She also had a large healing wound on her neck. Through it all, she has always been incredibly loving and gentle...and always uses her litterbox. She loves her dry food but turns her nose up to canned food.
Now, after many weeks, her foot is healed, her lungworms are gone, she's spayed, vaccinated and ready for adoption.
But nothing is ever easy for Dee Dee. She seems to have a neurological problem that makes her left front leg somewhat uncoordinated. She can still jump up and down off from chairs and run around, but her left leg is less than perfect and probably always will be.
We think it's about time for Dee Dee to find good fortune...and a forever inside only home.

 Dozer
Dozer is 9 months old. He was surrendered when his family had to move and couldn't take him with them. He loves to play, especially in water. He's happy and goofy and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He's housebroken but doesn't do well in a crate or left alone in a car. He's a perfect companion for a family with active childern or adults who like hiking and swimming.

 Chance
When I came to the shelter I was so matted they had to shave me and so frightened that they found a foster home for me to stay in. There are other small dogs and some cats in my foster home and I get along well with all of them. I love to sit on my foster mom's lap but her grandchildren frighten me so I need a home without small children. Did I mention that I'm about 3 to 5 years old and completely housebroken too? If you contact the shelter, they'll be happy to make arrangements for us to meet.

 Princess
Princess is 4 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. At one time she lived inside a home but recently has lived tied to a dog house outdoors. She was in desperate need of grooming so we had to shave most of her hair (except for her head). She is a little shy and very gentle...a real sweetie. She gets along well with other dogs. She doesn’t need a castle or a Prince Charming...she just needs a loving home and a “happily ever after” ending.
|
 Sampson
Sampson is 8 years old and is very lively and loving. He came to the shelter because his previous owner had to go to a nursing home. He's a big boy...weighing in at about 16 pounds...so much to love!!
|
 Colt
Colt - I may look tough, but I am really a sweetheart! I LOVE people and do well with other dogs. I came to the shelter as a very thin stray, already neutered and house trained. I'm about one year old. Please stop in to meet me...I'll be the one on my bed...waiting for someone to notice me.

 Tweety
It’s hard to believe that one so young and so cute could be so overlooked. Sad but true, Tweety has been at the shelter for several weeks waiting for someone to love her. She’s now barely a year old, playful and affectionate, and who could blame her for objecting to being put back into her cage just because you’re done playing with her. Spring is finally here and Tweety is more than ready to start her new life...could it be with you?

Pappy
Looks like Yoda he does!! He came to the shelter as a stray...filthy and matted and with a mouthful of rotted teeth. His mats have been shaved...he's had a few baths...and he has three teeth left after his dentistry. He's about 7 years old and weighs about 8 pounds. He's very affectionate and is a lap dog in every sense of the word. Seems to be housebroken too. All he needs now is a forever home.

 Carlos
As you can see, I have a boo boo. I have a broken bone in my right front leg. It sure did hurt at first, but now the only thing that bothers me is this stupid cast that I have to wear for several more weeks. I don't let any of this bother me, though...I'm still 100% lovable and my favorite place to be is on someone's lap. I do have one more slight problem...I need a home. A home without small children, a home where I will have lots of love and attention...a forever home. Could that home be yours?

 Dewberry
I’m a little shy, but very sweet when you get to know me. I came to the SPCA as a stray, already spayed and limping on my right front leg. Dr. Leni figured out right away when she examined me that I had broken that leg a long time ago, and when it healed it ended up being shorter than my other front leg. I get along just fine the way I am, I just hold up my leg when I run. It would definitely be a good idea for me to live inside 100% of the time.

 Frost
Frost was rescued from the basement of an apartment building where she was being fed by some kind hearted tenants. Living on the streets taught her to stand up for herself, so she's pretty independent. She can also be very affectionate but doesn't necessarily like to be picked up. Frost is our only remaining cat that came to us in 2010 so her fees have been reduced to encourage you to give her a chance at happiness...on her terms, of course.

Simba & Nougat
Simba and Nougat, although unrelated, both came to the shelter in January. Both are healthy. Both are beautiful. Both are older kitties. Simba’s loving owners passed away and Nougat’s loving owner was hospitalized. Simba is affectionate but shy and the adjustment to shelter life has been difficult for him. He’s trying his best to cope with of an overwhelming situation. He’s caged in the Lobby where he doesn’t have to be with so many other felines after living the single life for many years...although he did have a canine companion before he came to us. Nougat on the other hand, in addition to being incredibly affectionate, is very happy and outgoing. He’s always ready to make friends with people and other cats. Both of these kitties need loving homes. Maybe you’re not so young any more either...maybe you have room in your home and your heart for a not so young companion...maybe you could stop in soon and meet Simba and Nougat...maybe you could fall in love...and then just maybe...they could each have a second chance at happiness.
