Briar is beautiful, affectionate and playful, but let’s just say it upfront, this relationship is going to be on her terms and if you have other ideas she’s probably not the cat for you!

She will run from you, she will hide, and she knows a few bad words she’s not afraid to use; but she also loves belly rubs, chasing the laser and getting her ears scratched. Her body mass is roughly one third tail floof. Briar will demand your attention and affection, often ten minutes after she was offended you offered it to her while she was on the cat tree so she ran away. She will not understand why that is confusing for you. She enjoys cuddling on the couch in the evening, but it will probably take her ten minutes to get comfortable, and she may need to adjust where other pets are sitting too. Sometimes she falls off the couch maneuvering herself into the perfect position for your affections, it’s just part of her process. Briar makes adorable noises when she runs through the home, enjoys playing with toys and climbing cat trees. She is an absolute delight to have in your home but she is all cat through and through.

Briar has gotten along with other cats and will likely do best in a home with a welcoming cat, she’s going to need one to vouch for you after all. She cuddles with them, plays chase and grooms them, but they best be prepared because that giant fluffy tail has no sense of personal space. She’s going to groom you too, mostly your fingers but your toes will probably get the treatment too. Briar will need a very patient adopter but she really is quite an affectionate cat once she’s comfortable. It will likely be a while before she trusts you, but she is a very sweet and social cat at heart. To learn more about Briar, please email [email protected]

If you are looking for a buddy that has a sweetheart temperament and is as handsome and rugged as his name implies- then Rocky is for you!

Rocky is ready for his forever home. He is a goofy puppy and has a playful personality. He is a sweetheart with super awesome butt waggles to great you. He loves his human people.

He is housebroken. Will use his kennel for naps but will rather and happily snuggle with you on any furniture if you want even hammocks- he can even get in himself! He is doing well with his leash walking and is learning not to pull, and loves to explore all the scents.

Quirks: he does that little marching stomp of happy feet when greeting you. He has an adorable little nose boop that he does when he wants your attention or is exploring what’s in your hand. He backs up the truck and sits against your body with his back leg on your foot – one part security blanket and one part I like you and I just need to sit really close to you.

Talents: His tail can play music when it wags against the metal bed frame slats.

He loves his naps and sleeps through the night. He is a great telework partner inside or outside. He will sleep on your feet if you let him.

If you’re interested in learning more about Rocky, please contact his foster mom, April Rosenthal, at [email protected].

Meet Ebony! She is a sweet, cuddly girl who always wants to be nearby – even trying her best to be a lap dog when you’re working! Although she gets a bit flustered around loud streets and some other dogs, as she has gotten used to the new situations her loving personality shines through! Ebony’s new home would be perfect if it had a small quiet space outside for her to call her own, where she could lie down to soak up the sun and escape the hustle and bustle! She enjoys quiet walks and would probably even be up for a bit of a run! She loves her plush toy lamb and a good chew toy (but don’t worry – she knows which ones are hers and which ones are your shoes!). She hasn’t had a chance to meet children, so would need some time to warm-up in a family situation and may be most comfortable as the only animal in the house. For more info, or to virtually meet Ebony, contact [email protected].

If you are looking
for a little friend to curl up and watch a movie or take a walk around your neighborhood – Ebony is the perfect fit!

Hello, I’m Orangey! I came to HRA after spending some time outdoors as a community cat, but now I’m ready to give all that up and enjoy the comforts of a roof over my head and the joy of having a cozy place to sleep every night. I’m still learning about all the benefits of indoor life, but so far I can share a couple of preferences. I will seek affection, but I only want to be petted for a little while – when I’m done I’ll let you know. Also, please stick to only petting my forehead, cheeks, or chin. In return you’ll get a friendly head bunt, some soft purring, and a very happy kitty. My favorite activities are exploring my home and watching the “cat TV” (a.k.a looking out of any window or glass door). I can fall asleep almost anywhere: the carpet, chair, cat bed, sofa, anywhere…just try me! I’m a slightly older guy, so I won’t demand much from you and, because with age comes wisdom, I’ll truly appreciate everything that you’re willing to do for me! For more info, or to virtually meet me, contact [email protected].
