Story
Onyx is such a sweet and fun kitty. She loves to play and gets along well with everyone. If you are looking for a pet you can take outside/car rides she’s your girl. I am only rehoming her because of my schedule. I would prefer she be adopted with her sisters, since she is bonded to them and loves spending time with them.

Story
Hi, I’m Jack I’ve just entered my senior years, and with age comes extra love and loyalty. I’m a very affectionate boy who truly bonds with my people. I’ll follow you to the bathroom (someone has to keep watch!) and sleep at the foot of your bed every night to make sure you’re safe. I’m happiest as the only cat in the home. I like having my space and attention to myself, and I do best without other male cats around. I’m incredibly clean; I even tidy up after other cats sometimes! I may not play as much as I used to, but I absolutely love being near my humans and soaking up companionship. If you’re looking for a devoted, gentle senior who will always be by your side, I might be your perfect match.

Story
Nyx is a tiny little lovebug with the biggest heart. Born with only one eye and having already endured multiple litters in her young life, she’s finally getting the chance to experience what it means to be safe & loved - and well she’s embracing it wholeheartedly.From day one, Nyx has shown everyone just how sweet and trusting she is. She absolutely adores people and always wants to be close to her humans. Whether she’s sitting in your lap while you get ready in the morning, supervising your daily activities, or curled up on your chest at bedtime, Nyx is happiest when she’s near the people she loves.She may be a little petite and skinny right now, but this girl has a healthy appetite and isn’t shy about reminding you when it’s mealtime. Her tiny squeaky “beggar meows” are impossible not to love. Nyx especially enjoys dry food with a little wet food mixed in, though honestly, she’s just happy to be included at any snack time.Nyx gets along well with other cats, while still having her own charming little personality. During her first few weeks in our care she kept things calm and quiet while recovering, but now that she’s healed, her playful and curious side is shining through. She loves exploring every corner of the house, investigating anything new, and spending time perched on her favorite cat tree or the tipy top of the cabinets.Most of all, Nyx is simply an incredibly loving cat. She loves pets, enjoys being held, and is wonderfully gentle - never scratchy or aggressive. She’s clingy in the sweetest way, endlessly affectionate, curious, snuggly, and so ready to finally have a home of her own where she never has to be moved around again.

Story
Salem was the first of two Bombay cats to find me back in 2024 when I moved into a 2nd floor apartment with a shared yard. He was scared, skittish, and clearly had been through a lot, his ear is clipped from a TNR. Winter was coming, and I couldn't stand the thought of him being out in the cold, so I worked to earn his trust and decided to build him a little cat house outside at first. Slowly, he began to trust me enough that he came inside. He loves to sit by the window and look at the birds. He truly is the sweetest Bombay cat.Salem is a soft, shy soul. He loves quiet spaces, gentle people, and sleeping! His favorite toy is an interactive toy with a bird tail. He also enjoys lots of pets and butt pats. He absolutely adores my small dog Scooby. He does good with small dogs that give him his space. He thrives and is most content in a calm quiet atmosphere. He's a very chill guy that spooks with chaos. Salem is very sweet and affectionate when he opens up to you.

Story
We are looking to rehome a calm, independent female cat who does best in a quiet, low-stimulation environment.She is affectionate once comfortable and enjoys gentle pets, sunbathing near windows, and spending time near her people on her own terms. She is generally skittish with strangers and takes time to adjust in new environments, but is not aggressive.She has enjoyed safe outdoor access in the past but does not roam or run away.Medical/behavior notes:She has had location-specific inappropriate urination in her current home, primarily in one carpeted area near a crawl space. She did not have litter box issues in prior homes, so this appears to be environment-specific rather than a general litter box problem. No other behavioral issues noted.Ideal home:A quiet, stable home—preferably a homebody individual or couple with a calm household and patience for a shy cat adjusting to change.She can be rehomed with litter boxes and toys if helpful for transition

These cats are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania too!

Story
Meet Squeak! This girl got her name because when she was in separate quarters when she first came in she would greet her foster with lots to say when she came to spend time with her. Squeak is a silly and energetic girl. She loves to play with any toy and run around. Squeak didn't seem cat friendly at first but it turned out once she was comfortable she loves to wrestle and chase with other high energy cats/kittens. Squeak has a little trouble with table manners and is still learning she doesn't have to be worried about food but her foster has been helping her understand. Squeak will need a slow introduction but could live happily with another cat who could match her energy or could go home with one of her foster friends. Squeak is fully vetted (spayed, UTD on vaccines, de-wormed, treated for fleas, combo tested negative, and microchipped) and her adoption fee is $100.

Story
Meet Flora! This loving lady has it all! She is cuddly, playful, and makes biscuits like it's no one's business! Flora was found living outside and struggling to get by. Her finder reported she was having kittens over and over and struggling to keep them alive outdoors. The trauma of these losses sadly weighs on poor Flora and makes her very uncomfortable around other cats. Flora is so happy to sit on a lap and get pets and love from her people that you will never find yourself needing another kitty. Flora is fully vetted (spayed, UTD on vaccines, de-wormed, flea treated, combo tested negative, and microchipped) and her adoption fee is $100.

Story
Sterling is a former stray, turned couch potato. He loves sitting next to his humans on the couch, watching tv, and making biscuits. He is a gorgeous orange and white kitty who also has a playful side. When he's not napping, he likes to play with the bird wand and to chase around buncy balls. He is an excellent hunter! Sterling enjoys head kisses and chin scratches and will thank you with loud purrs. He even lets his foster mom hold him like a baby and give him kisses! However, he can be overstimulated at times and he does not like his back touched and will let you know with a "love bite. Due to this he would do best in a home without children. Sterling also has a calm and quiet side, he doesn't meow when he's left alone, and he can entertain himself with toys and bird window watching. He will greet you with loud purrs and head bumps when you come back! While he is curious about other cats and is slowly getting used to them, he doesn't know his limits and can play too roughly. He can also be territorial and would do best as an only cat, or with an experienced cat owner. Sterling has been in foster care for over a year and he truly deserves a forever home!
