Adoptable Cats

Sgettie
Breed:DSH
Age: 2
Female
This is Sgettie (like spaghetti, but with more attitude and less marinara). She’s a two-year-old tabby queen currently cooking up a litter of future heart-stealers.
Sgettie is calm, affectionate, and fully embracing her “mama-to-be” era—think naps in sunbeams, gentle purrs, and a touch of diva. She’s got the whole “pregnant goddess” vibe down, and she’s looking for a cozy spot to bring her babies into the world.
Adopt Sgettie and you won’t just be getting one amazing cat—you’ll be part of her journey as the proud sponsor of the cutest maternity ward this side of the shelter.
She is located at the Artesia Animal Shelter at 502 N. Paddy Wagon Way

He’s playful, curious, and still figuring out how his legs work—so prepare for the occasional dramatic tumble followed by a proud little strut like he meant to do that.
Whether you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, a tiny chaos gremlin, or just someone to make your heart melt on the daily—Turner’s your guy.
