Her baby blues are looking at you!
Hi there! My name is Katie, and if you look closely into my beautiful blue eyes and you will see how much you want to take me home. I am a healthy 11-year-old Siamese mix kitty who is very sweet and just wants a lap to snuggle in. I came to Young at Heart after I was surrendered to a local shelter because my family’s landlord found out about me and now I just want life to get back to normal. I’m not used to living with other kitties, so I’m not too sure of them. I would prefer to be your only pet but if you have one other quiet cat, I might do just fine. Please come visit me in person and you’ll see just what a cutie I am. With a clean bill of health from the vet, I’m ready to begin the next chapter in my life. I such a love bug that my …

Adorable Shepherd mix Is truly a catch.
My name is Lucky, and if you’ve been looking for a handsome, loving, fun dog to add to your family, when then you won’t believe your luck! Because I’m right here! Now, you might be wondering how I got my name. You see, it’s been my name my whole life, as I was a really well cared for and loved family member until my elderly owner had passed away, and a neighbor took me to the pound. Once that happened, I was scheduled to be “put down” because I was a 10-year-old dog who wouldn’t eat and who was starting to get sick. Have you ever been to the pound? You wouldn’t eat either! And it was just a little cold! But that doesn’t matter when you are a guy my age. You tend to get passed by over and over again, simply because of the age they put on …

No other kitties need apply!
My name is Pumpkin, and if you’re looking for a lap cat, stop your search! The World’s Best Lap Cat is right here! At 13-years-young, I’m an orange tiger who knows how to snuggle up and purr the day away in your arms. With no claws to speak of, I’m a truly gentle soul who came to Young at Heart after my owner passed away. I was taken to a shelter where I was going to be euthanized because of my age, but Young at Heart intervened at the pound and saved me. Whew, was that close! Now I have a chance to love a new family- all I need is you! I’m still not sure how I feel about dogs, but cats are A-OK by me. I’m a healthy, cuddly cat who loves to chill out, snuggle up, and love on my people. With a clean bill of health from the vet, I’m ready to…
