Volunteer

Not everyone is capable of a monetary donation. That doesn’t mean you are not valuable to us. You can also help us by donating your time. Volunteering is a huge part of LHS, it’s the backbone of our operation. We need volunteers to walk dogs and socialize cats, to lend a hand at our adoption events and fundraisers or as a foster home, we need your help! Check out our section on VOLUNTEERING

Featured Resident

My name is Nina, and I would like to introduce you to my amazing ears! I am 6 months old and not quite sure of my lineage, but I am sure that I have lots and lots of love to give!

Angelini ..jpg

Adoptable Cats

ROXY

KYLIE

This gorgeous 4 year old lab mix would love a family of her own this holiday season. This sweet pup has lots of love, and lot of energy - and would a fantastic addition to an active family. She is sweet, gentle and LOVES to be around people, is great in the car and an all around doll of a dog.

NINA

Big personalities come in teeny tiny packages - meet Ms. Nina! This little pocket pal is just about 6 months old (we think her ears might be older, as they seem to have grown more!). Nina is an absolute sweetheart, just looking for some love, some patience and some direction. This poor baby has had an awfully rough start in life - could you be the person/people at the top of Nina's Christmas wish list?

WAYLON

Waylon is a country boy, just under a year old, who is singing the blues this Christmas. He would love a family of his own, hopefully with some kids he could play with! He is half lab, half Australian shepherd, so is double-smart and extra sweet! We are busy putting a few pounds on this good boy, but he is accepting applications. Can you help change Waylan's tune? If so, please come by the next open house to meet him!

STORM

He's got the speed of a tsunami, the energy of an earthquake, the horsepower of a hurricane...He's Storm! This dude is a teeny tornado, some wild mix of beagle and...other breeds? Like all storms, this Storm takes a bit to warm up and wind up, but when he does, watch out for EPIC zoomies! He's about 3 years old, loves attention and play time, and would do best with an active owner or family.

DIESEL

Diesel lives up to his name! Like a reliable engine, he can go all day. This four-year-old superstar LIVES for fetch, and always keeps his favorite green toy with him. If he thinks you're cool, he'll toss it to you and ask you to throw it! Diesel is so high-energy that he is recommended for a household with older children, since his zoomies would knock down toddlers and little kids. He would be a great companion for an active person or couple, and would make a wonderful jogging buddy. Diesel is

MAVIS (12-6-19)

ASHE and MAPLE (Mavis kittens) 12-6-19

Percy

Percy is a young adult, with rusty orange short hair, the perfect color for fall decor. He is a little wary and will need some patience.

APRIL

April showed up at a feeding place last summer and shortly afterward, had kittens. This spring, she was expecting kittens once again, so was captured and shortly after gave birth to three kittens. All the babies are adopted and it is time for April to get a loving home with folks that won't dump her in the woods. She is a quiet, somewhat shy gray tabby who likes being petted

Sweetheart

Sweetheart is just what her name says she is: a sweetheart. She also has a large white bib and white paws. Sweetheart was chosen and loved, but her owner did not know that he had an allergy, so she and her companion had to come back to look for a new home. Her adoption fee is now only $40, and you can take her with a companion cat for only $60 for both. If you choose a cat and a kitten, the fee will be only $80. You can see our adoptable animals Wednesdays 6-8 P.M., and Saturdays noon to 3 P.M.,

ANGELINI

Angelini was found in the engine of a car late this summer, and the driver has no idea where she came from.. She is a very friendly kitten, estimated to be about four months old now, and all ready to go to a forever home. She is black with a huge snowy bib and extended white muzzle. You can adopt her at a lower fee now during our fall special ($60) and if you would like to have a companion kitten, the fee is only $90 for both. This includes health check, testing, worming, all shots, spay or neut

Smokey

Chickadee

Female Approximate DOB: 10/17/2016 Chickadee is one of the more interesting and complicated cats we have here at Lakeshore, but don't let that keep you away from her. She does not do well with other cats and has been known to swat and hiss at them, however she has never hurt any other animal. She seems to be more afraid of others than she is mean. Chickadee is friendly with people, though, as she loves to be held and cuddled. This is just another case

Willow & Snookie

Little Anthony

Little Aqua

MaleApproximated DOB: 2/1/2017Size: MediumColor: BlackNeeds: Little Aqua is a cat that came to us from our long waiting list and is looking for his forever home. This guy has some adorable grey eyebrows on his predominantly black body. Unfortunately, black cats often get overlooked because of a silly old superstition that they are bad luck. Little Aqua is definitely not bad luck and would be a perfect addition to your household. Come meet him at one of our adoption days!

Joquin

Peaches ,n Cream

April

Reggie

Reggie is all black, playful and sugar sweet. He was found all alone outside last June, small, sick, and lonely. Now about 5-6 months old, he's grown into his ear and is ready for a loving home

Piper

MaleApproximate DOB: 3/29/2017 As you can see from his photo, Piper is one of our shy guys we have here at Lakeshore. He prefers a gentle touch and a slow approach and is not a fan of quick sudden movements. He tends to be a bit apprehensive around enthusiastic children, and doesn't quite understand that all they want to do is love him. Unfortunately, the cats that aren't the most outgoing are often overlooked by people looking to adopt. Take it from us here at Lak
