Riley was found living on the streets and we ran into the person who was going to give her to a no so good shelter, so we took her in. She is sweet but quiet and a little shy. But now she has been spayed, vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies, flea and worm treated and tested negative for feline leukemia and aids (FIV). She has got the most beautiful coat with 3 different colors of stripes!. If interested in her or any of our castaway cats, please fill out our application at castawaycatsde.com

Story
Wren is a beautiful, sweet girl who was rescued off the streets of Philly and was going to have to go back out there because the other rescue could not keep her. I saw how young (8 weeks at the time) she was and knew she could not go back out there, so we took her in. She is spayed, vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies, flea and worm treated and is negative for feline leukemia and FIV. She is very sweet but will be shy at first until she gets to know you but then will purr up a storm when she is head booped and pet!

Story
Meet Mr Brody! He was living outside of an apartment complex and was definitely someone's pet but apparently was thrown out or abandoned. He is a very handsome boy and very sweet but would be best as an only child. He has been neutered, vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies, flea and worm treated and is negative for feline leukemia and AIDS. If interested in him or any of our Castaway cats, please fill out our application at Castaway catsde.com

Story
Calling all of our CH kitty lovers!!!! Meet our beautiful girl Tipsy! She came to our rescue from a county shelter in rough shape. She was completely bald from mange and very neurologic and unable to get around. Over the last few months we have been nursing her back to health. She now has a full coat of hair and her neurologic status has improved significantly, but we believe that she has cerebellar hypoplasia so she will also be special needs. Cerebellar Hypoplasia comes in a variety of degrees from mild tremors and a drunken gait to significant limitations where cats are unable to walk or stand and complete normal tasks. Tipsy is somewhere in the middle. While she cannot walk very well, she can stand and she gets around very well by scooting herself from place to place. She does have some mild head tremors that do become more significant when she is excited. Due to her mobility limitation, Tipsy cannot get in and out of a litter box so she is pee pad trained. She knows to go over to her pee pads very reliably. Tipsy absolutely LOVES to be held. She starts purring instantly and would love to spend her day in your arms. Tipsy will thrive in a home that can understand her physical limitations, but is looking for an incredibly sweet and loving cat. She stills plays like a kitten and wants to be loved! We believe Tipsy will do very well in a playpen or gated area when she is left alone so she can easily find her pee pads, food, and bed so she would be a perfect apartment kitty! She can certainly go to a home with other cats, but if there are dogs in the home, they will need to be laid back and very cat savvy since she will not be able to run and get away from a rambunctious dog. If you would like to read more about cerebellar hypoplasia, here is a link to more information. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952907 Tipsy is so deserving and we know her purrfect home is out there for her! If you are interested in adopting Tipsy or another one of our animals, please submit the application below and submit the $5 application fee. Please also take the time to review our adoption requirements including our vaccine and preventative requirements for existing pets in the home. If your pet is not up to date on veterinary care, we kindly ask that you have that completed prior to applying since we cannot hold any kittens. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScfwj4E8INvJgwuroLMdnOlLRZo_n3PQBHyowerHONa-i2j4g/viewform?usp=header
