This photo might look funny, I swear I’m not biting, I’m actually giving licks to this wonderful boy for reading such a great story to me. I absolutely love the attention and appreciate humans coming to see me. I’m very loving and affectionate. I was taken to the shelter with my brother Hansel by no fault of our own. I am very friendly and like kids, dogs and other cats. I’m looking for a family that will love me forever and give me a safe home to lounge around in, if you happen to be looking for 2 cats, what fun would it be if my brother Hansel were to come along for twice the cuddles?

Zoolander
My name is Hansel and as you can see, I love hanging around with humans. I had the opportunity to be read to by some pretty cool kids and I loved every minute of it. I was brought to the shelter with my brother Zoolander but it was not our fault trust me. I’m looking for a family of my own who will love and cuddle me for the rest of my life. I get along with everyone and just want the opportunity to show what a great family member I could be. As my brother already suggested, if you’re looking for two adorable black kitties, we would love to share a home. Male/UTD shots/Neutered
Hansel
Hello, my name is Albert. A kind person found me on the street and brought me to the shelter where some nice people fixed me up, gave me a warm place to sleep and food to eat. I’m loving being inside now with people all around me, I’m pretty affectionate and love cuddles. I’m ready to leave my stray days behind me and start a brand-new chapter in a forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, I might just be your purrfect match. Please consider me as your next family member.

I know what you’re thinking, Ducky? Silly name for a silly cat. Let me tell you, I have a unique personality that will make you chuckle. I am a “talker” and boy oh boy do I like it when humans talk back to me, I get even more talkative. I LOVE attention and am considered a “social butterfly”. Now don’t let that fool you, I’m also very cuddly and I love scratches just as much as the next cat. If you are looking for a friendly feline who will fill your home with pleasant conversation, I’m your gal. Consider bringing me home to be your forever friend.

I do not want to brag but if you come in and take a look at my eyes, you will want to fill out an application to take me home immediately. The humans think I’m “regal” looking, I’m not sure what that means but I think it’s good. I am very silky and soothing to pet, you will love having me sit on your lap to read or watch TV. I like to play and get along with just about everyone once I get use to them. I’m looking for a family that enjoys cuddles, kisses and unconditional love. Neutered/UTD on shots/Microchipped

Their facilities have continued to grow, and they now reside on ten acres of property with trails and fenced agility areas, providing all their animals with both physical and mental enrichment.
Whether you fall in love with one of our whiskered friends at the cafe or are looking for another cat, dog, or furry companion, adopting through Big Lake Humane Society helps support their mission to provide happy and healthy homes for animals!
