Simba's Story

Meet Simba! He is a friendly boy who loves to be the center of attention. Just like his name sake, he is confident, playful, and loves to run around. This is his first big change in life so he is a very nervous boy. He will need time to adjust to any new home. He has experience with children, other cats, and small dogs.<br/><br/>Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully.<br/><br/>Ready to Adopt?<br/><br/>You have two options:<br/><br/>#1- VISIT IN PERSON<br/>Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm.
