Story
Ditteh is a TNR kitten fail, he is a former feral kitten that is now 5 years old. He is double coated and needs to be maintained as such, currently matted due to time and finances, I will be trying to shave mats out over the next few days. Ditteh became my daughters favorite which is why he stayed, finances really force downsizing due to the rising costs of everything. He will willingly be dragged around by a child, but does prefer quiet, he would much rather be in the background unnoticed than be bothered but he will tolerate attention. He does not seek out attention, he currently lives in a multi pet household, since coming to me he has lived inside his entire life.

Story
🧶Lucy is adorable, playful, sometimes shy, and very gentle—like a kitten in a sweet 5-year-old body. She’s been the love of our lives. She snuggles with her brother but is uncomfortable with our older cat, so she may do best as an only cat or in a home with people around more, a steady routine, or even a mostly-outdoor/unique setup. 🐈‍⬛ Her challenge is occasional peeing outside the litter box. The vet believes it’s behavioral—loneliness, late meals, or territorial stress. She has her own box for pee, cleaned daily, and uses it, mostly reliably. She’s had a couple mild UTIs that respond well to meds, sometimes with a spot of blood, but further tests are costly. (Less than 1x/ year) 🐾She and her brother may feel more secure together; we’re open to rehoming them as a pair. We aren’t home as much now, and while she uses her box most of the time, the issue has become hard to manage. We adore her and hope she finds a home that fits her needs.

Story
Hello this is Bella. She’s about 4 years old. Got her in 2021. I have had her since she was a few weeks old. Unfortunately my new born is allergic so we must rehome her. She’s quiet, somewhat of a ninja lol. She loves to cuddle and be rubbed. She has had 5 litters within our time together with our male cat. She is strictly indoor! She has never been outside besides being brought home. She is house trained. Bella is small but long! Her favorite food is MeowMix Tender Centers or wet food mixed with the dry food. She’s only had one owner (me) so I’m hoping she can be with someone who plans to keep a cat for the long run. She has never had any health issues in my care. She recently gave birth 5th litter) so I’d love to see her gain some weight! She may be spayed by the time she gets adopted depending how soon we find a home. We hope to have some communication on how she’s doing once in a blue if the adoptee is up for that. I feel she would be good with someone older and not too busy.

Story
Meet Donna and Sachi! A beautifully bonded pair of seven-year-old purebred Siamese siblings currently in Newton, MA, whose lives are a graceful dance of affection, curiosity, and deep connection wrapped in velvety seal point coats. Donna, the smaller sister with a rounder face and a high-pitched meow, is the quieter soul of the duo. She may take a little time to feel comfortable, but once she does, her affectionate and cuddly nature blossoms. Belly rubs? She adores them! Fetch? She’ll not only play, she’ll initiate it by bringing you her favorite toy! Sachi, her devoted brother, is the more outgoing half of this charming team. Friendly from the start, he’s sweet, intelligent, and just as eager for snuggles. When it’s treat time, he’ll gently wrap his paw around your hand to guide it to his mouth. Yes, it’s as heart-melting as it sounds! Both cats are playful, inquisitive, and love interactive toys like pipe cleaners, wand toys, and hidden feathers. They enjoy chasing each other around the house before curling up together in a cozy nap pile, grooming one another like the lifelong companions they are. They're indoor-only cats who thrive in a calm, quiet space, somewhere with no young children or other pets, where Donna can feel secure and Sachi can stay on his gentle medical routine. Sachi has a heart murmur that’s been carefully managed since 2023. He takes two daily low-cost medications, easily tucked into food or treats, and visits a cardiologist every 6–9 months. He’s always a bit hungrier than Donna and will try to sneak bites of her food, just one of his endearing quirks! Donna and Sachi are looking for a new loving home where their deep bond is cherished and supported. They are currently being lovingly cared for by a family member while their guardian supports the process of helping them find a new home. With their gentle nature, expressive personalities, and unique needs, they’ll bring laughter, companionship, and warmth to the right family. Could your heart and home be the cozy haven these two devoted companions are waiting for? If so, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and let Sachi and Donna begin their next chapter with you!

Story
Meet Cali! A serene nine-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently living in Glenside, PA, who carries the quiet grace of a gentle protector wrapped in a soft, tabby coat. Born in July 2016, this medium-sized senior sweetheart is all about calm companionship, heartfelt purrs, and soaking in the peaceful moments of life. Cali has always been the steady one among her sisters, the watchful guardian who takes her role seriously. She may not be the first to demand attention, but when you offer a soft pet or a cozy spot to sit beside you, her affectionate side comes through in warm purrs and soulful eyes. She's incredibly low-maintenance, enjoys a peaceful routine, and would thrive in a loving home where quiet time is just as valued as companionship. This lovely girl starts her day with a splash of milk (she’ll be waiting!) and appreciates her two cans of food daily. Dry food and fresh water are always available, of course, but Cali’s favorite thing might just be curling up with someone who makes her feel safe. While her days of leaping after feather wands are mostly behind her, she still appreciates a toy with a bell and the occasional sunbeam for napping. Cali is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s had some dental care including the removal of a couple of back teeth, but she’s in good health and simply needs a calm, caring home to enjoy her golden years. Her caregiver is willing to assist with veterinary expenses and will send her along with a stash of her favorite canned food. Cali would thrive in a tranquil environment with a compassionate pet parent ready to give her the security and affection she needs. And while she’s ready to find her own loving home, she’d be overjoyed if you’d consider adopting her along with her bonded sisters, Avery and Lexi, they've spent a lifetime together and she'd be happiest with them by her side! Could Cali be the peaceful companion your heart's been missing? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about welcoming Cali home!
