Featured Animals: Ace and Bev

Ace is a 4-year-old Bully Breed Mix dog currently available for adoption through the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter.

According to the shelter: “Ace is such a sweet fella, and once he warms up to you, he becomes the most fun-loving guy! He’s spent his time at the shelter recovering from some serious injuries, but he has been a real trooper the entire time. Ace figured, since he’s feeling a lot better, it’s about time to settle down with a family and move on from this tough time in his life.”

Bev is a 6-year-old Domestic Short Hair cat, also available for adoption through the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter.

Shelter staff describe Bev as laidback, independent, and perfectly content doing her own thing. She is not one for wild play sessions or constant attention. She prefers cozying up on her favorite blankets, where she spends most of her day lounging and relaxing. If you’re lucky, with time, she’ll cozy up to you too. Though she enjoys her alone time, Bev has her sweet moments. She always greets you when you come home. Bev does fine around other animals, but she plays very lightly. She’ll bat around a toy mouse now and then, but doesn’t seek out the company of other cats. She’s more of a chill, independent companion who will be happy to share a quiet home with you. The more time her foster got to spend with her, the sweeter she got!

To learn more about Ace and Bev, including adoption details, you may reach out to the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter at 812-349-3492.

Featured Animal: Tiffany

Tiffany is a cat with gray patterned fur, and she’s about one year old. She came to the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter in pretty terrible condition. She had a serious uterine infection called pyometra and an eye in desperate need of removal.

One emergency surgery later, and this little gal was on the road to recovery. Tiffany’s remaining eye appears healthy, however she does have limited vision out of it. She is currently living in a foster home where she is slowly learning to navigate with her impaired vision.

Tiffany would love an adopter who is down with taking things slowly while she gets acclimated to the way of the world. To learn more about Tiffany, including adoption details, you may reach out to the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter at 812-349-3492.

Featured Animal: Castle

Castle is a cat with short brown fur, just about 3.5 years in age. She is terrific, FIV-positive gal who is currently in a foster home.

Her foster momma has the following to say about her:

“Castle starts off pretty shy, but curiosity gets the better of her and she can’t help but poke her head around. She is a great conversationalist: she loves to be talked to and will meow right on back. Castle is the queen of head-butting you with her very petite head and large body – she cannot get enough pets! Her favorite pastime is to loaf in a sunny spot and not-so-subtly pass judgement on her surroundings. She is tidy and very relaxed for the majority of the day, with a few pounces and zooms around the apartment when she feels like it. She is not the biggest fan of being picked up, but will tolerate it with just a few glares. Overall she is a great little buddy and just wants to get attention and give head-butts.”

Castle’s adoption fee has been waived. To learn more about her, you may reach out to the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter at 812-349-3492.
