Dating in the Keys can be a drag, but thankfully there are plenty of animals waiting for their perfect adoption “match” at the Florida Keys SPCA. Keys Weekly is thrilled each week to showcase some “furever” friends that are ready, waiting and available for adoption at the organization’s Marathon campus – complete with their best qualities, preferences and turn-offs to ensure the best fit.
From cats and dogs to Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, reptiles and birds, the perfect addition to your family is waiting for you at one of the SPCA’s two campuses, in Key West and Marathon. The SPCA’s knowledgeable staff will help with advice and care tips while working to ensure a good fit between each pet and its people. The SPCA’s Golden Paw program also provides special assistance with vet bills and medications for special-needs and older animals that require a little extra TLC.
See all the animals waiting for a home at fkspca.org. To contact the Marathon campus, call 305-743-4800 or visit the campus at 10550 Aviation Blvd.
Dapple
1-year-old female tortoiseshell
Looking for: That quiet spot on a shelf in your house.
Turnoffs: Floors. Have you seen the shelves? They’re so much better, and the view is fantastic!
Cornbread
1.5-year-old female domestic shorthair
Looking for: My real home, please! I’ve been found as a stray twice in my short life, and nobody comes looking for me.
Turnoffs: Some other cats, but not all. The Catio is my home for now, and I like most of my feline companions. Life on the street has taught me to keep my guard up a bit.
Cher
6-month-old female mixed breed
Looking for: Some fun! I’m a sweet, energetic pup. I have a canine companion at the shelter, and I love the pool and going for walks.
Turnoffs: I can be a bit shy at first, but I’m learning how to be brave. I just don’t like too many scary new things.
