From a past rooted in pain, he has blossomed into the most beautiful flower. Two-year-old Phillip was brought in from a hoarding situation in March. He had an incredibly hard time in a cage setting and was so scared that he would scale the walls after escaping. Soon, he became an office cat. While this was best for his health, many potential adopters did not know that he was there. Fortunately, because of so many adoptions out of the community room, there was finally space available for Phillip. Finding comfort in other cats has brought out the best in him. He is an incredible companion to them and just wants to give kisses and rub heads with them. Sylvester, Whitey, Nome, and Little Punk are frequently spotted obliging to this request. Phillip is very lively and gracious during playtime with the other cats. He shares and likes to work as a team to defeat the red dot. His other hobbies include being handsome, working as a greeter to entering guests, eating treats, and being groomed by our blind kitty Brianna. He is the most popular boy! Because of this, Phillip would like to be in a home with other cats. Photos do not do this supermodel justice! His eyes are bright yellow with a green ring around the pupil, and he has a gorgeous all black coat with just a few white hairs on his chest (very manly). And if you look closely, you will see that the hair around his mouth is a little sparser, making it look like little human lips! Phillip's aliases are Phil of the future, Dr. Phil, Philly cheese steak, and Phil and Lil DeVille. He has come a long way. Initially wild with fear and then skittish and shy, he is growing more confident every day. As we all do, Phillip deserves patience, understanding, and time to acclimate. His past is tragic, but it does not defeat him. It makes him strong.

Unlike everything you know about dominoes, this one doesn't fall down. Domino came in as a stray, absolutely petrified until fight or flight kicked in, and he was running circles. He was glued to his box, and staff would put a towel over him so he could feel more secure when they were cleaning his cage. After his quarantine period was over, and Domino was given a clean bill of health, he was put in a staff office with another cat because it was clear he could not handle a cage setting. With this arrangement, he blossomed. His old friend who brought out the best in him was adopted some time ago. Now, it's Domino's turn. Domino is currently in the community room because luckily there were some adoptions that freed up space to be able to move him there. Domino is three years old, but he looks wise beyond his years. It may be that his smattering of white fur makes him appear older. He also has a permanent half wink and sometimes full wink if he is relaxed enough, but his yellow eyes are absolutely stunning and work just as well as the next kitty's. Maybe he was born to be flirty. This boy certainly has the charm. He is currently the only tuxedo cat in the community room since his friends Brianna and Sylvester went home. So, he is repping the formal wear with white socks look, and he wears it so well. Domino is a big healthy boy and has a little tummy that he loves to show off. He loves to lounge around and stretch out his long frame. He is excellent with other cats, loves to play with them, and would benefit being in a forever home with them. His favorite toy is the laser, and he will stop at nothing to capture that red dot. It is so funny to see him try and climb up the wall, standing on his long legs with his belly poking out. Surprisingly, he has been ambivalent about Temptations treats (which usually are a hit). Sometimes he'll come for them, and other times he can't be bothered unless you bring them to him. Perhaps it has to do with whether or not he has had a nap, or he just has preferences. Regardless, he is totally relatable. Domino will wait at the door for someone, but can still be a little nervous around newcomers. Those who have patience will see what a sweet boy he is and soon won't be able to keep their hands off of him. Domino has confessed that he is still working on his confidence, and is afraid he won't get picked. Everyone who knows him reassures him that he is a beautiful boy inside and out, and anyone would be so lucky to take him home. What's better than a total baby doll named Domino who wears a furry tuxedo and has a winky face? He acts very laid back, but he has a deep and pressing desire to have a permanent family. Life has been nothing but a whirlwind of change for him, and he deserves some stability. Who knows what abuses he suffered before he came to the shelter? All we can be sure of is that he survived and has become a lovely gentleman in spite of anything. There is something called the Domino Effect. According to all factual sources, it is when you meet Domino cat and fall in love, it causes a happy effect that lasts a lifetime.Www.griffinpondanimslshelter.com/adopt
