My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Penelope! Penelope and her sister Venelope were surrendered to our shelter after their owner decided she no longer wished to care for them. They were stripped from everything they knew, including their 10 year old human sister. 

They had never seen a vet before, and were terribly anxious, in heat, and very overweight. They were completely shut down after being dropped off at the shelter, and it took us months to overcome their fears and anxiety. We worked with them every day to build back their confidence and got them on a high quality diet to ensure their joints didn't take such a hit with all of their extra weight.

They are NOT a bonded pair. They also do not require another cat in the home, they can both be adopted out individually and to homes where they'd be the only cat.

Penelope likes Churu and treats. She will approach you for affection, but only when she wants it. She is a very clean cat that does not make a whole lot of noise. She would be ideal for someone that is elderly or someone that does not have small children. We recommend 10 and older.

She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines & FIV/FELV negative. If you're interested in giving Penelope a forever home, please apply at www.castawaycritters.org/adopt or email info@castawaycritters.org for inquiries!

Additional adoption info

We offer an online adoption application at www.castwaycritters.org. We do check references, vet references, and housechecks. Once you are approved, you will be required to fill out an adoption agreement. Our animals have all been wormed, altered and vaccinated. Cats have been tested for FIV/FeLV. For more information, see our website at www.castawaycritters.org.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of our animals are in foster care so please complete an application at our website (www.castawaycritters.org) before meeting them. Completing an application does not obligate you to adopt; however, it is required. Applications are processed in the order received in an effort to find the best match possible for both the dog and the adopter.

Please also check out our events page on our website as fosters sometimes bring their available animals out to meet people!
