I am a former street cat with handsome stripes and adorable white toe socks! I know what I want – a warm, safe place to nap and lots and lots of treats. I have a tiny squeaky meow, and won’t wake you up in the morning or cause a ruckus in the middle of the night.
I am still learning about living indoors with people and sometimes get scared and need some time to myself. I have excellent litterbox habits but don’t always know how to communicate with people and might swat if I get scared or frustrated. That can scare kids.
Tony has FIV, which is manageable and not contagious to humans or other species. Cats with FIV can live fully healthy lives if they are cared for properly. (It does not spread among spayed animals and is not the same as FeLV.)
Likes: treats, scritches, and being brushed
Dislikes: hands and wand toys are scary
Hobbies: bird watching, napping
Favorite Toy: treat puzzle games and toy mice and balls to pounce on
Favorite Treats: Churus
Favorite napping spot: heated cat mats and a cat sill in the window
HOW I CAME TO PGSPCA
I spent years living outside in a cat colony until a caretaker noticed I was having trouble eating and brought me inside. I was very nervous about people and indoor life at first and had a mouth full of broken and infected teeth. After getting my teeth pulled and realizing that it is dry and warm in the house, I am ready to retire to a life of indoor luxury.
DREAM FAMILY
I would like a quiet, gentle family with prior cat experience who will give me time to adjust to a new living situation.

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!
We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.
