Noir Male | 9 years old | Black Stray Thoughts Summer 2020 Ready for a Home Noir is a big boy with a bigger heart! He has a lot of love to give and is looking for someone to give it to! Unfortunately, Noir has been diagnosed with PTSD by his behavioral veterinarian from when a closet fell on his head when he was a young adult. This means when he gets triggered by a loud noise, or someone leaning over him, he may start to hiss and lash out. However, there are several therapies to help him continue to manage his PTSD, such as puzzle toys, regular play time, clicker training, medication, and a consistent environment. All of which has helped him immensely. Noir is looking for a place to recover and heal him, could that be your home? Spot Male | 5 years old | Turkish Van Mix Hi, I’m Spot! I’m affectionate and a very good-looking guy. I’m curious and enjoy meeting and checking out new people. I’m also quite playful. My foster mom has nicknamed me “circus cat” because I sometimes walk on my hind legs while playing with toys. I’m pretty quiet so you will rarely hear my voice. I Iike to be petted and will lay at your feet or next to you on the couch. I like to take nice long naps and don’t need to share a bed with you. I require a quiet household, adults only, and to be the only pet - then things will be purrrfect! Wylie Male | 1 year old | Terrier Mix Hi! Hello! Excuse me! My name is Wylie! I’m super excited to meet you and become your new best friend! I’m a little fireball of spunky energy, so if you are an active person that loves to play, oh boy we will get along great! Playing is one of my favorite things and I have a super high play drive! I will never turn you down for play time! I get so excited that I just can’t sit still! I always have to be busy, busy, and busy. Treats taste sooooo good, but I am gentle taking them. I will need to work on my manners, so treats will be a good way to go about this. Due to my high play drive, I can get mouthy and jump (overstimulated). This is why if I am to live with kids, they must be at least six years old. Unfortunately, I find dogs very offputting and I cannot live with another dog. I think cats look like squirrels, so it is best for everyone if I don’t live with those shady characters. Don’t worry; I’ll be all the pet you need! I prefer all my companionship from my people and will keep you plenty busy with all my attention seeking and belly rub requests. You may have noticed that my back foot is deformed. It doesn’t slow me down at all, but just to be sure, either the Animal Care Manager or the Executive Director will discuss it with my new family or answer any questions you may have about it. If you are looking for a fireball of energy, an awesome playmate, and a companion, then I’m your guy! 4
