TemperamentWary, Feisty
Special NeedsCerebellar Hypoplasia, Alcoholism

Meet Harley "Hurlz": our beloved, perpetually disgruntled catboy with cerebellar hypoplasia ("Wobbly Cat Syndrome") and recovering alcoholic who stayed at Straylight Haven longer than he'd like to admit. Despite his prickly exterior, grouchy demeanor, and occasional attempts to swipe wallets or wet food, deep down he's just searching desperately for someone who won't give up on him.

TemperamentDysregulated, Territorial
Special NeedsSubstance Abuse

Niko Fuchs is not for first-time owners or bleeding hearts who think they can "fix" someone with love and patience. Every inch of him is designed to test boundaries and push people away before they can reject him first. What he needs isn’t control or coddling, but someone with thick skin, unwavering consistency, and zero tolerance for his bullshit games—someone who sees past his snarls and knows how to wait out a storm without flinching.

Duke has a history of biting other residents as well as staff. Despite this, he's very charming, good at persuading. Requires very secure, well-reinforced containment. He MUST be muzzled when out of the kennel. Experienced handlers only. NEVER leave him alone with unfamiliar individuals. Responds poorly to physical restraint; caution is advised during ALL interactions. Prone to eloping and manipulation. Constant behavioral assessment is recommended.

Temperamentskittish, aggressive
Special NeedsLengthy Adjustment period

Meet Maverick "Mave" Althaus: Our resident grump with a heart of gold buried under layers of misanthropy and distrust. This German longhair may hiss, swear, and insist he’d rather die than accept help, but Straylight’s seen the flickers! the way he tenses less when someone remembers how he likes his food, or how he begrudgingly fixes broken-down electronics for the shelter despite his protests. Underneath the snarling, the self-loathing, and the "fuck off". there's a scared, exhausted kitty who’s never known kindness without strings. Maverick doesn’t believe in redemption. But we do!

Meet Brandon, our long term returning catboy. He’s still adjusting from the jarring changes he’s gone through with each placement. But, despite himself, deep down somewhere probably long buried he just wants to never feel the sting of abandonment again.

HT/WT5'4” - 100lbs
TemperamentMischievous, independent
Special Needsdyslexic, far-sighted

Meet Fox: No other name given or needed, a playful if occasionally challenging fox boy with some trouble focusing on fine details up close and a bit more trouble telling the truth. Has some issues with resource guarding and purposefully obscuring his level of understanding but is a loyal, funny, and clever little guy once you get to know him. A good ear scritch and some honey oatmeal and he's sure to settle right in, provided you have the patience to sort fact from fiction and put in some playtime to acclimate him to life with a roof.

Meet Alaric Lynch! The very calm, very hungry snail demihuman! He’s the perfect companion for anyone looking for something low-maintenance and with a fridge full of slowly rotting vegetables. While he might not seem like much at first glance, there’s definitely more to him than meets the eye—literally.When you adopt Alaric, you also adopt all the funky little worms living inside him. Sorry, it’s a package deal! But don’t worry! He’s (mostly) harmless to humans. Just don’t let him wander too far… or get near other snails. Or birds. You’ll be fine! Possession doesn’t affect his quality of life too much.
