Seymour
Breed: Catahoula leopard dog
Gender: Male
Weight: 40 pounds
Age: 2 years
Orphaned Since: Oct. 28
Adoption Fee: $250
Don’t let a Catahoula Leopard dog at SPCA Florida fool you. His name, Seymour, is phonetically an oxymoron since this gentle pooch is visually and audibly challenged. Yet, choose a bright ball, toss and he’ll fetch it. His blurry vision allows him to detect shapes, not details. His friend circle includes other dogs and people. Seymour loves soft toys and Kongs filled with peanut butter. The pawsome canine team works on Seymour’s social skills punctuated by walks. Aids like Halo are tailored to warn dogs of barriers. Why not escort Seymour on a doggy date before you welcome him home? He’s pumped for epic cuddles with his family.

Rhea, the sister of Titans, and rhea, the ostrich-like bird, are no way similar to Rhea, the shepherd mix waiting in the wings at SPCA Florida for her welcome into her forever family. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Rhea praises her human foster for teaching her how to be a dog. She’s a quick study and eager to learn how to become her unique self. Interaction and exercise have fast-tracked Rhea to master social skills. This playful pooch is always up for a cuddle after exploring her world. Rhea is ready for her family to fine-tune her behavior (treats help) and help her bloom into the best four-pawed family member ever.

Retail establishments often hire greeters to welcome customers and put them at ease. The Orlando Cat Café is no exception except the greeter has fur and four paws. Enter Simon, who’s often the first at the door to encourage visitors to stay a while and then take him or one of his besties home. Witness his interactions with a wand or laser toy followed by a purrfest. Simon’s FIV+ but no biggie as long as he gets an annual good-to-go checkup with his veterinarian. Schedule a trip soon to meet this affectionate feline when he puts out the welcome mat for you, his future family: https://www.orlandocatcafe.com.

Want to meet and adopt a cat whose behavior covers every end of the spectrum? Cash, the chill cat, hunkers down during quiet time for a catnap on your lap or a cuddle with soothing, sound effects ― purrs. If in the mood, he’ll amp up activity with typical cat antics. Introduce his favorite currency, catnip, into the mix and the payback will be love and loyalty. Cash has spent most of 2026, thus far, at the shelter but wants to file a change of address at the post office to match yours. You can make that happen today when you take Cash home.
