Looking for a beautiful, sassy roommate who understands the joy of a good sink nap? Meet our resident drama queen and everyone's favorite vampire slayer, Buffy! She is young, gorgeous, and currently running her operations out of Orange County Animal Services. No appointments necessary to audition for her love—but she demands that you go slowly and let her call the shots. She would benefit from a person with a little cat experience...someone that can honor her limitations and create a safe space for her.
The Meow-festo: Favorite hobby is watching "Cat TV" (birds) and playing hockey with ice cubes until they literally disappear. Interior Design Preference: Must have a premium window ledge. Diet: Equal opportunity food lover (wet AND dry, please). Dealbreakers: Generally dislikes being picked up but she has let her shelter friends do it when necessary, no forced cuddles please - it's gotta be on her terms, and a home without tiny humans is recommended because they don't understand how to respect her boundaries.🤫 The Fine Print: She previously lived indoors with an elderly couple, so she appreciates a quiet, mature vibe. She needs a patient human who understands "petting on my terms." She will let you know when she’s done being touched—expect a little spice if you overstay your welcome! 🌶️It is unknown how she might react to other pets, slow introductions are mandatory.📍
Stop by during open hours to see if you qualify to be her servant: Mon–Fri: 10 AM – 6 PM, Sat: 10 AM – 5 PM. Give her time to adjust and respect the fact that she calls the shots, and she promises to keep you laughing!

Happy Adoption Update! 😍
"My daughter adopted Zoey earlier this month at an event at Eno Volunteer Fire Department. We lucked out. She is sweet. The tail is no longer tucked. We have had pup cups but are still a little uncertain about other dogs and people walking on our street. It has been a joy to watch her confidence grow and her feeling of belonging and knowing we aren't going anywhere is evident. She is simply a fantastic dog. We are so grateful for the work you do."
Congrats to Zoey and her family!
If you're ready to adopt your bestie, visit https://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets for more information!
