Story
Meet Victor Valentine — also known as the reason “high energy” has an entirely new meaning! ❤️ Victor has been returned twice because his adopters discovered that this boy comes with one setting: GO! He is insanely energetic, endlessly playful, and has absolutely no concept of taking a break. All energy, all the time… and let’s just say the brain cells don’t always keep up! But underneath all that wild kitten energy is a super sweet, affectionate guy who just needs the right home. Victor would do best with lots of young, playful cats who can keep up with him and help him burn off some of that never-ending energy. He is not a good fit for young children , simply because his play style is WAY too much. Victor isn't a couch-potato cat looking for a quiet retirement home. He needs a family ready for zoomies, wrestling matches, mischief, and nonstop entertainment. If you’re looking for a sweet, hilarious, high-energy cat who will keep you on your toes, Victor Valentine is your guy! If you'd like to meet this cat or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon. All our cats are neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed and flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped prior to adoption. Thanks for opting to adopt!September 10, 2026, 11:41 am

Story
Batman is 3 years old. He is neutered and is good with dogs and children. Batman LOVES everyone ! He greets everyone who visits and lets you pick him up. He is rambunctious and full of energy. He loves to play with his crinkly balls or any ball or toy for that matter. He will play fetch with you! He is active. He is a Velcro kitty and loves pets and attention. He sadly wants to be the only cat as he doesn’t want his sister to be around and doesn’t want to share space with her. He is such a loving boy and a great friend!

Story
Pepe & Lucy — Bonded 11-Year-Old Brother & Sister I'm looking for a special home for Pepe and Lucy, my daughter's beloved 11-year-old brother-and-sister cats. They have been together their entire lives and MUST stay together. Unfortunately, their dad is unable to take them, and because of financial circumstances I am having to sell my home and cannot take them with me. Pepe is the handsome black-and-white boy. He loves people, is still very playful, and absolutely loves to cuddle. His favorite place is sleeping with you and curling up beside you. Lucy is the beautiful tabby and an absolute cuddle bug. She loves nothing more than curling up with you and sleeping beside you. The two of them are very bonded. They cuddle together, sleep together and keep each other company. We will not consider separating them. They are indoor cats, litter trained and up to date on their vaccinations. They would do best in a calm household with someone who enjoys affectionate companions.

Story
Meet Tylee! Tylee is a beautiful calico girl with a sweet, friendly, and wonderfully calm personality . She’s the kind of cat who doesn’t need to be the center of attention—she’s just happy to be around her people and enjoy some love and affection. ❤️ Tylee came to us after being dumped at a South Jersey shelter along with her companion, Luke . While they are not bonded , the two get along very well and could happily be adopted together. If you're looking for a gentle, easygoing companion who will bring a little sweetness and a lot of love into your home, Tylee could be your girl! If you'd like to meet this cat or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon. All our cats are neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed and flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped prior to adoption.
