Plato is a thoughtful kitty – you can tell by his gaze here. What he thinks most about is finding a new home to be in forever. He is about 7-years-old, which is only middle aged in cat terms. He has short hair and a wonderful personality.

Frederika is a beautiful boxer about 2-years-old and is very sweet. This young dog would love a forever home and will make an excellent companion.

Gandalf is about 2-years-old and lives at the adoption center with all his kitty roommates. He is very lovable and needs a home without dogs.
