About Garfield

Meet Garfield! This lovely orange tabby is searching for a nurturing home where she can feel safe and loved again. Garfield, along with her companion Shadow, faced a challenging situation after being left alone in a vacant house following their previous owner's health issues. After two months of living in fear, they are finally in our care and ready for a new start. Garfield is the more outgoing of the two, often the first to peek out and explore. She has a sweet disposition and enjoys soft petting and gentle words. It’s heartwarming to see how she calms her shy partner, Shadow. He is a timider soul but has recently shown signs of curiosity, sitting on his carrier while still seeking refuge inside. Both cats have been fully vetted, including spaying, vaccinations, and will be microchipped. They will need a patient and quiet home. Given time, Garfield and Shadow will blossom in an environment where they feel safe, especially with a kind-hearted person, perhaps someone senior who understands their needs. They’ve been through a lot together, and we believe that with your love, they can overcome their fears. In an effort to help them find a home soon, we have a special offer: adopt one and get one free. Let’s give these sweet souls a chance at a loving life together.
