Story
We think Mr Balz is around three years old. He ended up someone's porch in Trenton with a wound on his leg. He's all healed and better now. He's a big tomcat mushburger. Someone must have loved him but, we have no idea how he ended up outside. He loves people, other cats and his foster mom thinks he would do fine with kids (we have no ideas about dogs). He loves to play with toys. Who is going to adopt this cute 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!March 11, 2026, 8:33 pm

Story
Hi there! I'm Nikki Finn, a sweet and curious little kitten with a playful spirit and a heart full of potential. I love chasing toys, pouncing on imaginary friends, and exploring every corner I can find. Life is one big adventure, and I'm always ready for the next one-as long as it comes with a cozy spot to nap afterward!I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once I feel safe and comfortable, my gentle personality starts to shine. With a bit of patience and love, I just know I'll blossom into a confident, social butterfly who loves attention and companionship. If you're looking for a playful friend who will grow right along with you, I think we could make the purr-fect pair!SAVE conducts adoptions by appointment only to help you find the perfect match. Complete the adoption application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. Call the shelter with any questions: 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Black Weight: 7.75 Age: 0yrs 7mths 1wks

Story
Meet Pikachu: Resident Biscuit Maker and Chatterbox.Looking for a cat with personality? Allow us to introduce Pikachu, a bright little spark of feline charm who has two main hobbies: making biscuits and talking about any and everything.This friendly girl believes attention is not just appreciated - but required. Sit down for a moment and Pikachu will appear like magic; ready to supervise your day while kneading the world's most enthusiastically-made biscuit batch. Blankets, your lap, the air around her, everything gets kneaded.But Pikachu isn't just a world-famous baker - she is a certified chatterbox. She loves to talk, narrate her day, and check in on what you're up to. Anytime is a perfect time for a conversation.If you're looking for a quiet, mysterious cat...Pikachu would like you to know that is not her brand. She's affectionate, social, and happiest when she has a human audience for her biscuit-making skills and running commentary. Adopt Pikachu and you'll never feel alone again - you'll have a best friend, a personal baker, and a tiny life coach who always has something to say.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.

Story
Meet Puddins (Yes, Puddins. Not Pudding. We checked.)Let's clear something up right away; her name is Puddins. Not Pudding. Not Puddings. Just Puddins. She feels very strongly about this, and frankly, so do we.Now, Puddins might greet you with a little dramatic flair at first. Move too fast and you may get a hiss that says, "Excuse me??? Personal space???" But here's the thing - her tough girl routine is completely fake. All hail Queen Fakey of Made-Up-Town.The second she gets a good sniff, the disguise crumbles and she melts into a full-blown lover girl. Once she decides you're acceptable (which doesn't take long) Puddins transforms into a chatty, affectionate, attention-seeking companion who has a lot to say about everything. She will happily follow you around, hold full conversations, and lean into pets like her existence depends on it.If you appreciate a cat with a little bit of drama, a lot of personality, and an endless supply of love once you're in her circle, then Puddins would like to schedule an interview.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 6.0625 Age: 1yrs 0mths 1wks
