Story
My mom had Lexi for 2 years and sadly she recently passed away. I have had Lexi ever since, I love her but my other cats do not get along with her. She can be shy, very sweet and sadly she hides most of the day because of them. She doesn’t have any behavior issues, doesn’t scratch furniture or bite, does extremely well with the litter box, etc. She will meow once every now and then but is quiet almost all the time. Shes also great at night time. I would keep her but I’ve seen her much happier in a home without other cats or dogs. Shes around 4 or 5 years old and she does like to eat wet or dry food, she prefers to eat larger meals just twice a day or just to be free fed dry food. She’s not super anxious about eating. She can be very shy at first but she does like affection & doesn’t mind being picked up and will snuggle. Shes great with all humans including children! She enjoys being touched and loved on.

Story
Come meet Briar Rose!!  She is a calico with gorgeous markings.  We are thinking she is between 3 to 5 years old.  I must say though this girl loves to play.  Her favorite is chasing her feather string toys. Most of the day Briar Rose spends sleeping in her window bed or watching out the window as life goes by outside.  She has a laid-back personality and loves being pet and brushed.  If you scratch the sweet spot just above her tail – that’s it - you’re friends forever.  Briar Rose lived with a few other cats in her foster home as well as an extra-large dog. Briar Rose seems to be indifferent with the other cats and cautious with her movements around the dog. She loves people and getting all the attention.  Could Briar Rose fit into your family? Briar Rose is good with: Children:  Yes, but I would suggest older children. Cats:  Maybe. Briar Rose seems to avoid the other cats in her foster home. It doesn’t seem like she is looking for any feline friends at the moment.  Dogs:  Briar Rose currently lives with an extra-large (100 lb +) dog. She seems to be cautious around the dog but non-confrontational. But I think she would be okay with a smaller dog or one that is not interested in playing with her. Briar Rose was playing with her foster family. Briar Rose is now playing in our Jenkintown PetSmart adoption center. Please stop by to meet her! Please submit a no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank you!  (Foster: Sonia G.).February 4, 2026, 5:12 am

This is Tabatha a young momma.  She came to foster with a single baby. Baby has found her forever home on 9/27/2025.  Now, Tabatha can look for hers.   She’s a bit cautious at first, but when she warms up, she is a love bug.  Tabatha loves her back scratches and plops down and rolls around when she’s  happy.  She still startles at fast-moving people, but she’s learning.   Tabatha loves adventures and is very inquisitive.  She will sit at the window bird watching, too.  She has no interest in the outdoors.  She would love to stay in a warm house and be pampered.    Tabatha gets along with other cats; she has not been introduced to dogs nor to young children.   Tabatha is small and is maybe a year to a year and a half old.  She is spayed and vaccinated, in need of her booster but will be all ready when the right human comes along.  Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank you!  (Foster:  Denise P.)January 12, 2026, 3:10 pm

Story
ABOUT LYDIA & HANNIBAL Lydia is a shy, sweet girl who came to us as a semi-feral kitten. Now about 11 months old, she’s made remarkable progress in learning to trust people. Though she’s still a bit nervous around humans, she absolutely adores other cats and finds great comfort in feline companionship. To help her continue building confidence, we paired her with Hannibal, and it turned out to be the perfect match. Hannibal, just under 2 years old, is a social butterfly with a big heart. He’s friendly, affectionate, and outgoing. He loves meeting new people, gets along wonderfully with other cats, and has done well with respectful children. As Lydia’s “big brother,” Hannibal helps her feel safe and secure, guiding her with calm reassurance. Thanks to his support, Lydia continues to blossom. The two currently live in a free-roaming cat room, where they enjoy the company of other cats and spend their days playing, lounging, and bonding. We would love to see Hannibal and Lydia find a home together! They’d do best in a home with other friendly cats and cat-savvy children who understand that Lydia may need a bit more time and space to feel comfortable. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.
