You may be wondering just what a "buddy" cat is? Pet Refuge has many felines in our system who are somewhat shy around humans but . . . comfortable with other cats and/or dogs.
So, have you ever thought about getting your current lonely cat a "buddy" of her very own? Or how about a pal for your "non-aggressive," bored canine? A "buddy" cat may be the solution to your pet's loneliness problem -- once and for all!
And, our Buddy Cats are being offered at exactly HALF the cost of our everyday adoption fee of $100.00.
So, for just $50.00, you can give a shy, hard-to-place, "buddy" cat a loving home as well as providing a furry friend for your own furry friend! And, who knows, after a few days with a patient, understanding new owner, these shy kitties may become YOUR best "buddy" too!

KENNY (DOB April 2005) Kenny was found as an adult stray, and he is very shy, which is probably the result of a not so easy life. He does get along fine with the other cats, and will take some attention from humans, but not too much. He will need a very patient owner, who understands all his quirks. Kenny is available as a buddy cat. |

LEXIE Lexie is a beautiful, black and white DLH. Born 3/05, Lexie came to Pet Refuge with her sister as a stray. Even though she is a bit shy, she loves to be petted once she decides to trust you. As you can see in her picture, she likes to snuggle in tight little spaces. Lexie would do best in a calm household. She likes to play with other cats, but would probably not like dogs. (Carole) |

COWBOY Although this large brown tabby male seems to be terrified of being photographed, he's really just known as a buddy cat. Cowboy was born in August 2004 and he does very well being around other cats (hence the "buddy" cat status). He does, unfortunately, take a long time to warm up to humans but, as his foster mom says, "He will become friendly with some patience and TLC!" (Sandi) |

NASH (DOB 2001) Nash is a very striking blue gray neutered male. He is very sweet but also very shy. He buddies up with other cats and will come to be petted by you if the other cats go first! He has a real fondness of playing with his toy mice and relaxing in the laundry baskets. He is probably a permanent foster that is in need of a sponsor to help his needs.

FRISCO DOB February 2004 Frisco is a beautiful long hair all black male. Frisco is considered a buddy cat because he prefers to be with other cats or dogs and does not like to be around people. He is very playful and will snuggle with other cats. If you lived alone with no other cats he could possibly bond with you instead of depending on other cats for companionship because he does enjoy being brushed and he absolutely loves his daily cat treats.

ERIC An orange tabby and white feline, Eric used to fit the classic profile of the "scaredy" cat but has greatly improved since coming to the shelter. This handsome male lives in our cage-free cat room and does well around other cats. Eric has made tremendous progress recently. He still has his shy moments, but he has started coming up to strangers at adoption events to get petted. He has been doing very well and recently moved into a foster home! (Angela) |
