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!

Chester is the sweetest little boy! He can be a little shy at first, but finds confidence in his social cat friends in his foster home. He would thrive in a home with a true cat lover who will give him the time he needs to settle in and show his true potential.

Please also take the time to review our adoption requirements including our vaccine and preventative requirements for existing pets in the home.

Story
Matchstick is one of 4 kittens that was found and rescued with her mom. They were found in a local neighborhoods woods that backed up to businesses. The businesses have bait boxes where mice eat the poison and scurry off to die days later. I’m thankful the mom and babies never ate a poisoned mouse as they would have had the same fate. The trap wasn’t easy and the babies and mom were very skeptical of humans intentions. After her brother and sister were adopted Matchstick really flourished. She went from a shy untrusting girl to a love bug that loves to play and has the best purr you have ever heard. I see her being a full blown cuddler in her future. Matchsticks sister Violet will hopefully be available soon. If you have room in your home to include Violet I know they would both appreciate If you are interested interested in any of our Castaway Cats, please fill out our application at castawaycatsde.com. Thank you!

Story
Meet Aquaman! This handsome devil came to us after being found minimally responsive in the snow. He was incredibly sick and we were not sure if he was going to make it. After some testing, we came to find out that he was diabetic and suffering from extremely high blood sugar that was causing him to feel very sick. Thankfully, after a short time on Bexacat, he went into Diabetic remission and is now controlled strictly on diet! He will need to see the vet every 6 months to make sure he remains in remission but otherwise will not require any additional care. Aquaman is incredibly sweet and we think he is about 4-5 years old. He does well with other cats and children but would prefer a home without dogs. He is very outgoing and loves to explore! He would thrive in about any home. If you are interested in adopting Aquaman or another one of our animals, please submit the application below and submit the 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 animals. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScfwj4E8INvJgwuroLMdnOlLRZo_n3PQBHyowerHONa-i2j4g/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawQFrC1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETIwSmIwOFdiNzVIaVY0Wktkc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIy
