Story
Franky is one cool customer! He loves to play - chasing toys, the elusive red dot of a laser pointer, or his friend Pretzel (FCID# 12/09/2025-101). His favorite toy is a simple piece of thick yarn.  But Franky sure knows how to chill. You’ll find him lounging on the cat tree, the bed, or a blanket. That’s your time for some lovin’! Go ahead and pet him – he’ll reward you with lots of purring, head butts, and even some kisses. Franky is still a little uncomfortable being held but be patient! He’ll come around and your patience will pay off!  Franky runs to greet you, especially if he thinks you have food for him. For such a little guy, he sure loves to eat! That’s another time for some love and affection from this sweetie.  Franky should be in a home with another playful pet. He does well with cats, but we don’t know how he’ll react to a dog. Consider adopting this mellow sweetheart with his friend Pretzel (FCID# 12/09/2025-101). Franky is playing at our Willow Grove PetSmart adoption center. Submit a no-obligation application to adopt today: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. (Foster: Deborah F.-C.). February 6, 2026, 12:43 pm

Pretzel is ball of energy! What an active 4-5 month-old kitten he is! He loves to run all over, chasing toys, the elusive red dot of a laser pointer, or his friend Franky (FCID #12/16/2025-160). You’ll have so much fun watching him jump for a piece of string or a wand toy. This gorgeous, ticked tabby might take some time to warm up, but your patience will pay off! Once he is ready to trust you, he is incredibly affectionate! He’ll purr, give you kisses and head butts, lay belly up on your lap for pats, knead your fleece, and eventually settle down by your side. But you’d better keep petting him or he’ll nudge you to let you know he wants MORE! Pretzel should be in a home with another playful pet. He does well with cats, but we don’t know how he’ll react to a dog. Consider adopting this sweet love bug with his friend Franky (FCID #12/16/2025-160). Pretzel is playing at our Willow Grove PetSmart adoption center. Submit a no-obligation application to adopt today: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. (Foster: Deborah F.-C.).
