Toffee

Toffee is a 4-5 year old female that has been waiting for a home since June "08. She enjoys petting and sometimes is okay to be held or sit on your lap, but it is all on her terms. She loves to look out the window. Her favorite spots to perch are on garbage can lids so she can look down on everything going on and get plenty of pats on the head by passerbys. She is tolerant of other animals, but her ideal home would be where she is the only pet. She can be a little moody and feisty and would be best with in a home with adults or older children. She has no special needs or health issues, she just happens to be everyone's 2nd choice. For more information on Toffee or the shelter, call 330.657.2010. 

Thyme

Thyme is a sweet but shy 1-2 year old kitty. She would prefer if interested parties go slow with her and allow her to sniff their hand before they pet her. Once she is okay with you, she really gets excited about petting, she may even drool. She can be held but is not very comfortable with it. She prefers petting in the cage.
