Ivan
Ivan is often sleeping on a cat tree when folks come to visit the Amarillo SPCA. He is not overly interactive and folks often pass him by. Ivan may not be for everyone because he probably won’t follow you around or jump on your lap for attention. But he’s a really cool fellow! Minds his own business, has good manners, uses his box, isn’t picky about food and enjoys napping. He doesn’t want a lot of petting and brushing, but a little bit is welcome and sometimes he will come to you for a few pets as well. If you are interested in an independent cat--read on!
Description: Brown/grey/black coloring, short-haired Tabby cat. Large framed.
Age: approx 6 years of age.
Likes: Napping, Investigating, Looking out the window
Needs: May need a quiet home with no small children. He currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, he may blossom into a social cat with the right family.

Jubilee-UPDATE-Adopted!
Jubilee is a sweet, cuddly boy about 4 1/2 months old with a mellow attitude. His short haired coat is grey with black stripes and white on his feet, neck, mouth and around his eyes. His soft, shiny coat will need gloving or a light brushing once in a while to stay shiny. Jubilee gets along well with other cats, not just his brothers and sisters, and likes every person he’s met. Jubilee plays interactively with ribbon toys and likes things he can pick up and carry around. He WILL try to get you to kiss his nose. He eats whatever he’s fed, though he’s not all that fond of beef flavors, wet or dry. A State Trooper found Jubilee’s mom, Sunshine, and 6 kittens by the side of the road and brought them to the shelter. The kittens went up for adoption but Sunshine was pregnant and went to foster care where she had four kittens, three males and a female (Jubilee, Liberty, Opal Lee, and Promise) on 6/19/24 (Juneteenth). Sunshine was adopted after the kittens were weaned and now they’re ready for forever homes.
Liberty
Liberty is a short haired, pale blond tabby boy, technically called “red dilute”. At about 4 1/2 months old, he is active and playful with anything or anybody and periodically comes running to the fosterer for emergency hugs and petting. He gets along well with other cats and kittens and with people after he gets to know them a little. Liberty’s favorite toys are anything he can get to play with, especially soft things he can carry or harder balls he can bat around. He eats wet and dry kitten food and likes fish flavors and chicken best. A State Trooper found Liberty’s mom, Sunshine, and 6 kittens by the side of the road and brought them to the shelter. The kittens went up for adoption but Sunshine was pregnant and went to foster care where she had four kittens, three males and a female (Jubilee, Liberty, Opal Lee, and Promise) on 6/19/24 (Juneteenth). Sunshine was adopted after the kittens were weaned and now they’re ready for forever homes.
Lou
Lou is a male tabby cat approx. 2 years old. He has an unusual light silvery gray undercoat with darker gray striping throughout his beautiful soft coat. Lou is a quiet fellow, a bit shy, and can easily get overlooked for adoption in a room full of kittens. But don’t miss out on meeting him--he’s such a sweet, friendly boy and loves having people spend time with him-getting petted, having tummy rubs and being brushed while having a quiet conversation. We think he would make a great friend and is long over due for finding his forever home! He makes adorable chirping noises instead of a traditional 'meow'. Lou enjoys playing with soft toys and having snacks-both dry food and a soft food treat. He’s looking for that special, patient person that will let him ease into transitioning to a new home, showering him with love and letting him know he’s safe. He probably would do better in a quiet home without small children at this point and letting him adjust in one room before having the run of the house. (approx DOB 6/2022)
Loretta
Loretta is a female, short-haired kitty celebrating an April birthday and will be 2 years of age. (est dob 4/2022). She has a soft, short-haired coat with large sections of fluffy white fur alongside dark grey & black. Check out Loretta’s adorable pink nose and her sweet face. She is a shy, quiet gal that keeps to herself, but she is friendly, gentle and has a curious nature. Loretta is thrilled to find small coil toys and will play like a kitten with them. Loretta & sibs came to our shelter as kittens and one by one found homes. Being shy, Loretta was nervous about all the shelter activity and didn’t welcome attention and so got passed by for adoption. Volunteers love on her to get her more comfortable around people. She enjoys having her face petted and neck scratched. Sweet Loretta needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. She will most likely do best in a quiet home, without young kids, or boisterous dogs or bossy cats. Allow her to acclimate in one room before getting free run of the house. Come spend time with her and see if you’re a match!
Mommas
Mommas is a black female kitty about 2 years of age. She has a soft short-haired coat, light green eyes and a black nose. Mommas is a sweet, quiet kitty that likes pets and head rubs. She would love a forever home to call her own. Come visit and see if you are a match!
Opal Lee
Opal Lee is a 4 1/2 month old female calico tabby with short hair. She is lean and active but more reserved than her brothers. A State Trooper found Opal Lee’s mom, Sunshine, and 6 kittens by the side of the road and brought them to the shelter. The kittens went up for adoption but Sunshine was pregnant and went to foster care where she had four kittens, three males and a female (Jubilee, Liberty, Opal Lee, and Promise) on 6/19/24 (Juneteenth). Sunshine was adopted after the kittens were weaned and now they’re ready for forever homes. Opal Lee tolerates other cats and kittens but prefers people she knows. Her favorite toys are smaller things she can bat around or chasing a dragged ribbon or wand toy. Opal Lee eats wet and dry kitten food and Temptations are her favorite treats.
Pookie
Pookie is a female 7 month old short-haired kitten. She has a light tan coat with black stripes and speckling throughout. She has beautiful golden eyes also and lots of long whiskers. Pookie is a lovebug that likes being held, petted and sitting in laps! We’ve noticed if she’s enjoying a comfortable lap and another kitty gets close she can get annoyed with them- she likes her own one on one time. Pookie is a sweet, curious, playful kitten.
Promise-UPDATE-Adopted!
Promise is a male, 4 1/2 month old tabby kitten with a beautiful gray and black tabby coat. A State Trooper found Promise’s mom, Sunshine, and 6 kittens by the side of the road and brought them to the shelter.

Sunshine was adopted after the kittens were weaned and now they’re ready for forever homes. Promise plays with other cats and kittens well but can get overexcited and need a time-out sometimes. He is the most interactive of his siblings and has never met a person he doesn’t want to get cuddles from. Promise eats whatever he’s fed and enjoys Temptations as treats.
Rollo
Rollo is a Domestic Short Hair who is approximately 6 years of age. He is black with some grey/white coloring above his pretty eyes. Rollo is an independent cat, but loves attention and petting when it's on his own terms. A sweet boy, but shy and will need a patient family to out him at ease. At this point we suggest a quiet household without young kids. (approx DOB 11/2016)

Smokey

White highlights her eyes and mouth-especially showing off her pretty green eyes. Smokey is a sweet, friendly cat that likes to play and be petted. She is used to adults and older children-not sure about young kids or other pets. Smokey will need regular brushing to keep her fluffy coat tangle free. She is also on a K/D diet and eats soft and dry food with this special formula.
Snug Bug
Snug Bug is a male kitten about 6 months old. He has a thick, velvety-soft, gray short-haired coat and big golden eyes. Snug bug earned his name by being a snuggle bug. He is such a sweet heart! He loves being held and will wrap you in a hug when you do. Snug bug purrs endlessly, enjoys cuddles and doesn’t want to be put down. Come see if he’s a match for you.
Specter
Specter is a beautiful, grey tabby kitty about 6 months of age. Her soft, short haired coat has dark grey stripes and a bit of white around her mouth and pretty eyes. Specter spent most of her young life outside as far as we can tell. A kind person tamed and caught her and got her into foster care to grow big and strong. She will leave her food for cuddles and is grateful for any food or attention. She tolerates other cats and kittens and accepts petting from anyone offering it. The fosterer says Specter is the most mellow cat EVER. So far she hasn’t shown much interest in toys, but that’s not uncommon with a cat that was outside a long time. The cat and their new family can find things they can play with together.
Steve
Steve is a male tabby kitty with a mix of brown, black and white in his coat. His short haired fur is soft and fluffy with some white ‘socks’ and a handsome face. Steve loves to be held, carried and petted! He is a four paw declaw and must be an indoor kitty only. He’s a sweet, older fella, of 13 years, and needing a forever home where he is loved & cherished. Steve’s blood work shows a kidney issue that requires a special kidney food diet. Please be sure to consider this expense when adopting any pet with a few extra health requirements. We think Steve would like to be an only kitty as he does growl if other kitties get in his space. Probably a quiet home, perhaps a mature household where he gets all the attention he craves may be best.
Stoffie
Stoffie is a male tabby kitty about 1 year old. He has a soft short haired brown and black coat with some cream coloring highlighting his eyes and mouth. Stoffie is a big sweet heart who loves to play and get attention and pets. He can be a chatterbox at times too! He adores laps and being held and will make a wonderful cuddle buddy! We think Stoffie would be most happy as an only kitty due to his alpha male behavior. Unsure about dogs.
Tiger-UPDATE-Test running
Tiger is a male brown & black tabby kitten about 5 months old. He has a soft, fluffy, short haired coat with black striping and cream highlights around his mouth and eyes. He also has big beautiful eyes with a hint of green. Tiger loves attention, being held and belly rubs! This sweetie seems ok with other cats and kids. He was attacked by a dog when he was younger so we don’t think he would care for them now.
Tigger
Tigger is a 5 year old male, orange and white Tabby cat. You can surely see the distinctive 'M' on the forehead of this Tabby. He's a nice cat but can be grumpy. He may be different in a person's home, than in the shelter with numerous other cats. Tigger can be quite independent, but he does enjoy a bit of petting on his own terms. Tigger is quiet and laid back. He may not be a good fit for young kids. (approx DOB 3/19/2018)
