My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This cute brown tabby gal is Bijou ! We don’t know a lot about her past, but we do know that she craves human affection. What form that takes is still a bit of a mystery, though. The safest bet is sticking to her head for some soft caresses and scratches underneath her chin. She may invite you to pet her belly, but that is most definitely a trap. She may also suggest you pet her back or tail but proceed with caution. Bijou sometimes gets a bit over stimulated and responds with a nip or her paws. We are working with her, and she responds well to redirects with toys! In fact, she has a lot of energy to burn and loves racing around, climbing atop cat trees, and jumping through the air. She has a very quirky side to her and we think patient person with a sense of humor would be great to help her identify her boundaries and ideal forms of affection. We think she’d be an excellent fit for an active, adult-only household that can offer her attention and stimulation. 

Bijou seems to be generally be good around other felines, but like the rest of her likes and dislikes, we aren't sure what her boundaries are when it comes to friends. We are not sure how she'd respond to dogs or children. 

Bijou is playing in our Willow Grove Shelter. Submit a no-obligation application to adopt: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. Not ready to adopt?  Please apply to foster: https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.  Thank you! (Foster: Willow Grove)

More about this rescue

Founded in 2003, Forgotten Cats, Inc. is the leading trap, neuter, vaccinate, return (TNVR) nonprofit in the region. Servicing Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, Forgotten Cats specializes in TNVR in order to humanely reduce the homeless cat population. Valuing all lives, Forgotten Cats is a no kill organization.

Forgotten Cats’ TNVR services involve working with colony caregivers to identify all cats within a colony, after which we trap, transport, sterilize, vaccinate, recuperate, and return feral cats to caregivers. Our goal is to stabilize each colony and ensure zero population growth. We achieve this by trapping and sterilizing every single cat in the entire colony.

About 20 percent of the cats that enter our clinics each year are not feral. Stray cats, or homeless domesticated cats, and feral kittens under 12 weeks old, are held and placed into our adoption network. With ten off-site adoption centers, our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to prepare our cats for adoption and ensure they go to loving, forever homes.

Forgotten Cats serves the community by offering affordable TNVR services, low cost spay/neuter services for pet & stray cats, and spay/neuter education.

Forgotten Cats has over 700 volunteers that are committed to helping this organization fulfill its mission. We receive no government funding, and depend solely on private donations, grants, fundraising events, and bequests to complete our mission.

Since 2003, Forgotten Cats has sterilized over 130,000 cats across the region, which has prevented the birth and suffering of millions of kittens. Additionally, we have placed over 14,000 cats into loving, forever homes. At our no-kill clinic/shelters, we welcome the FIV+ & FeLV+ cats, the blind, the 3-legged, the lost, those that have been abused, and those that have been abandoned. We offer love and hope to the Forgotten Cats from all walks of life.

Vision:
We envision a day when kittens are no longer born on the streets but rather in loving homes to responsible owners.

Mission:
Our mission is to humanely reduce the homeless cat population and to stop the suffering of the thousands of kittens born to abandoned, homeless cats.
