About Ace

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Ace, a striking, large black panther-like cat with soulful eyes who enjoys keeping watch over daily happenings at the shelter. Though a diligent supervisor, Ace is living with arthritis and can be fearful of being touched near sensitive areas—whether by people or other cats—due to discomfort. He receives a Solensia injection monthly, along with daily Gabapentin to help manage his pain and fearfulness, costing about $225 each month. With these treatments, Ace has become more calm, curious, and noticeably more comfortable. Fun fact: Ace was born on June 25, making him a Cancer—a gentle and nurturing sign known for deep sensitivity and loyalty. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
