I just got back from foster and I had so much fun. I love to play with the my foster mom's kitty and I didn't even mind the doggie that lived there. I can be a little timid at first but with some time I will come out of my shell and we can be best of buds. I love playing but most of all I love Temptations treats.

Hey everyone...I am a mature lady who loves being the greeter at Second Chance. I have been a fixture at Second Chance for a while, and I am now the 'lobby' cat who will greet you at the door. I spend my days curled up in the copy paper boxes, or checking out all of the neat donations that come in and helping out the staff and volunteers when they are on the computer.

Hi, my name is Cleo. I'm nine years old and I'm a very shy kitty. I need a quiet home where I will have my own safe spot. I love food, that's why I'm fat. My foster mom put me on a diet but I don't like it. I will truly bond with one person, my new mom or new dad.
