Story
This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography. 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.

Story
Sat., Jan. 3:  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet our ~30 lovable male & female cats and kittens who are eagerly awaiting their forever homes.   Since this event is for approved adopters only and to ensure that each furry friend finds the perfect match, we kindly ask that you complete our no-obligation adoption application at: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ to become an approved adopter for this special event. Additionally, while you’re with us, we invite you to explore the rewarding volunteer opportunities available at Forgotten Cats, where your involvement can make a significant difference in our community and the lives of these precious felines. Remember, each adoption not only brings joy to your home but also contributes to our larger mission of compassion and responsible pet ownership, helping us improve the lives of homeless cats everywhere. We can't wait to see you there! Oh!  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Willow Grove)December 31, 2025, 6:42 am
