Beverly (tri-color) and Baylee (mostly white) are a mother daughter pair who have been at the shelter for a little over 6 months. Baylee is older and has some health issues, Beverly is very skittish and doesnt like being away from Baylee. Because the two of them are a bonded pair and would do better in a home with beagle experience the right family hasn't found them yet. While they wait they enjoy walking the property and playing in the training room with staff and volunteers.

Butternut (black and white) has been at Bellwether since February of 2019. He came in with a group of kittens but once they were all adopted he didn't get along with the other cats and preferred to be solo. Then came Ellery (tabby) in September of 2020 and the two became fast friends. Butternut has helped Ellery come out of his shell and the two can be found hanging out together in the surgery room.

When Buster arrived at Bellwether Harbor we knew right away he was so smart and sweet. We also knew he would need a very specific type of family and that's why he's still here 658 days later. He enjoys walks with staff and volunteers, playtime in the training room, lots of snacks and treats, and cuddles. We know the right family will find him but for now we are his family!

Mistletoe (black and white) and Lyle (gray) call the back offices at Bellwether home.

Mistletoe came in as a kitten in December of 2016 and now lives in the training apartment. He has become quite the office manager, walking across keyboards, stealing papers, and distracting his coworkers.

Lyle came to Bellwether in 2020 as a senior cat with health issues. He now lives in the boardroom where he enjoys his giant cat tree and recliner. His friendly disposition make him a favorite among staff and volunteers and missing canine give him a quirky look to match his personality.

Mistletoe requires special food and Lyle is on a daily medication to keep them healthy. This #GivingTuesdayfollow the link in our bio to make a donation and help provide the special food, medications, and resources needed to care for these cats.

If you've been inside Bellwether there's a good chance you've met these two!

Renoir (orange and white) was born at Bellwether Harbor in 2012. While his mom and siblings eventually found homes Renoir has spent all 3,391 days of his life at Bellwether. His life here includes love and attention from his favorite staff and volunteers, special treats, and roaming the training room and lobby. When he's not out exploring you can find in him in his private living space near the cattery. He does not like dogs or cats with the exception of Felicia who has become his playmate.

Felicia (tortie) arrived at Bellwether as a kitten in 2016. While no longer shy and standoffish she still has that famous tortitude and quickly lets you know when she's unhappy. Felicia loves exploring the shelter with her friend Renoir and getting lots of love from the staff and volunteers.
