“Dogs come when they are called. Cats take a message and get back to you.” ~Mary Bly

Did you know there are 37 million homes in our country that have cats – totaling more than 85 million feline friends?  Wow, we love our cats!  If you are considering opening your heart and home to a kitty, please consider the wide variety of cats we have available for adoption at our Robins-Starr Humane Center. We have every variety, from white to orange, lazy to active, younger to older, long-haired to short-haired, calico to striped, and the list goes on and on.  It can be overwhelming to know what you are looking for in a four-legged family member, and we are happy to help in the search. One important question to ask yourself is what type of personality you’d like your cat to have - affectionate, playful, rambunctious, independent, or talkative?  Most people think they want a kitten, but what they sometimes don’t realize is that kittens can be difficult to manage at times due to their high energy level.  We often suggest adopters take home two kittens so they can keep each other company and don’t feel the need to wake you up at 2 a.m. by bouncing off your head to play! The nice thing about adopting an adult cat is that you already know her personality, whereas with a kitten, what you see might not be what you get as she matures.  We have knowledgeable adoption counselors who can help you pick out the right cat for your family and lifestyle, so visit us today and meet lots of lovable cats just waiting to go home.

How did you know your cat was “the one”?
