Mia is a Svelte Diva You Can’t Help But Love

10-year-old kitty demands belly rubs, food and love.

Hi, I’m Mia! I’m an adorable and sweet little 10-year-old butterball who loves to be loved! I love being the Princess and I have aptly been dubbed “Princess Mia” in my foster home.  Though some might say I’m a Diva, I’m an easy kitty to fall in love with. I’m up for adoption through Young at Heart Pet Rescue, and if I can take a minute of your time, I’d love to tell you all about ME! Everyone adores me – I love to hang out in whatever room you’re in and I have the BEST purr, if I do say so myself (you can hear it from across the room).  I love to be brushed and my favorite thing is to be brushed while I’m sunbathing – I haven’t met a sunbeam I don’t like! I love to sleep with you at night and when I’m all comfy and snuggled in, I will …

Lovely Allie Waits For A Home

7-year-old lap kitty seeks an empty lap.

Howdy! I’m Allie, and I am a soft-as-suede little girl who is oh-so-sweet! The day Young at Heart Pet Rescue rescued me from a local animal shelter, I was so scared of the noise and the environment that when they took me out of the cage, I tried to hide anywhere I could – including inside the volunteer’s jacket! I curled myself into a ball in the cat carrier, so scared of everything, but as soon as I got to the quieter adoption center at Petco, I simply blossomed. I am still scared of loud noises, but I LOVE attention and to be quietly doted upon. I’m about 7 years old, and just as snuggly as can be. I love to stretch out on your tummy while we snuggle and gently rest my paw on your face if I can reach it. My eyes shut in utter happiness …

Zesty Little Nacho Is Waiting For You

This 9-year-old little Chihuahua will spice up your life.

Howdy! I’m Nacho, and I am one lucky little fella! I’m funny and friendly, and my favorite thing in the world is working for a snack. I will do anything for a treat! I am a very typical Chihuahua, and I love people and am very eager to show you just how much I love you. I was surrendered to animal control as part of a hoarding case with dozens of other Chihuahuas! I watched all the other Chihuahuas go to other rescues and shelters, but I was 8-10 years old, so I kept getting passed over. The day Young at Heart Pet Rescue came to the animal control I was at, the shelter manager couldn’t promise me much more time. So, despite not having any room left at the “inn”, Young at Heart rescued me that day. Woohoo! I am a healthy guy, and have just …

Handsome Jackson Is Waiting for Love

Gorgeous 7-year-old kitty loves everyone he meets.

Hi there! I’m Jackson, a fabulously fluffy and friendly 7-year-old domestic long-haired kitty! I am a love bug, and enjoy any and all attention you are willing to dish out! I enjoy the company of other kitties, as well as lazy days lounging in the sunshine, stalking fuzzy mice, and napping anywhere soft and squishy. I am a social butterfly, and will happily greet you and your friends and keep you company. I am a fantastic boy, and I can’t wait for a home of my own! I came to Young at Heart Pet Rescue after spending many months in a cage at an animal shelter. I was passed over time and time again for kittens, but I didn’t give up and I didn’t hold it against people. I just kept trying to win them over! And now that I’m out of a cage, I have…

Happiness Is Gilmore's Middle Name

This 10-year-old little corgi mix will bring joy to your life.

Who is sweet, has silly ears, and is so happy his tail never stops wagging? This dog! Hi there! I’m Gilmore, the cutest little “fox” you’ll ever meet! I’m a very handsome and funny little corgi/doxie mix who just loooooooves my people! I am about 10 years old, and I am good with other dogs and cats. Though I get along with them, I’m pretty much a companion for them, as I just keep them company and don’t really play. It’s my people that bring me joy! I love to snuggle with you, whether it’s on the chair, on the couch, in your bed – you name it, I like being right beside you! I’m very housebroken and trustworthy in the house, and don’t like to be crated at all (nor do I need to be!). I will run to the door to let you know that it’s time to …

Lexi Waits Patiently For A Home

Sweet 7-year-old kitty keeps hoping for a family.

Hello, World! I’m Lexi, a quiet, cuddly 7-year-old domestic short hair who loves to play with fuzzy mice and take naps anywhere with a view. I’m a laid back girl that is happy to take life as it comes to me. I’m always looking out the window, not wanting to miss a minute of the action outside. In my down time, I enjoy a good snuggle anywhere that is soft and warm. I’m very sweet and quite laid back. I’m good with other cats, and I have no problem with cat-savvy dogs. I’m also a star with my litter box. I really enjoy the company of my people friends, especially when they are petting or sweet-talking to me. Like all Young At Heart Pet Rescue animals, I receive top-notch veterinary care. When I first came to Young at Heart, it was discovered…

Fun and Friendly Little Rhett Wants a Home for the Holidays

Sweet little Manchester Terrier mix will help you deck the halls!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Rhett. I am a Manchester Terrier mix around 7 or 8 years of age, and I’ve been waiting for that special someone to come along and be my “furever” home since I was rescued by Young at Heart Pet Rescue. My foster family says I am a “hoot” to just be around and watch. To be honest, I think I am free entertainment for them. Let me tell you about some of my favorite things to do. I love running in the backyard from side to side, keeping on the lookout for squirrels and intruders. I kind of have a crush on a cute Boston Terrier that lives behind us. We like to gallivant along the fence line together. She can really tire me out. On warmer days when I get hot from running, I will go jump in my pool. Yes, I love …

Playful Chloe Wants a Home for the Holidays

Gorgeous 7-year-old Calico cat is ready for a family!

I keep hearing people who visit the adoption center talking about their plans to eat turkey and gather with family. No matter how much I crawl into their lap while they’re talking and purr and rub my head against them, I can’t seem to get them to understand that I love turkey! And family! And holidays! I’m Chloe, and I am a 7-year-old Calico cat who is up for adoption through Young at Heart Pet Rescue. I’ve been waiting for a home since June, and no matter how gorgeous I am, it seems that people think that calico cats have attitude. Ok, ok, I guess from time to time I do “speak” my mind, but I can’t help it if I am an independent girl sometimes! And usually I only speak my mind when another cat decides to interrupt me when I think I’m …
