Story
Birthdate:  11/17/2025Breed: One of a kindPolly Pocket is one of a kind! She will quickly steal the heart of anyone that meets her. She is a chatty little girl who will chirp when you come in the room - her way of saying hi! She might not come up to you right away, but give her a second and she'll be rolling over ready for pets and love. Sweet Polly was born outside and cared for by a good samaritan who realized that it was time for her and her siblings to find their forever homes. We are so grateful that we get to be part of this special kitty's life.Polly has tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus). FeLV cats have a virus that causes a weaker immune system! For the most part, felvies are just like any other cat. You could not pick one out of the crowd, and they generally do not require much additional care. As a bonus, PCAR provides full coverage and treatment for any FeLV-related issues that arise after the time of adoption. Cats with FeLV typically have a shortened lifespan - we like to compare it to the lifespan of adopting a senior kitty, with the added benefit that FeLV-related medical care is covered. Polly is not contagious to people, dogs or other animals, but should live only with other FeLV+ cats. For more information, please contact us. The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you’ll need a simple questionnaire filled out. You can fill this out at the Rescue or before you come in at: https://www.pawscrossedny.org/cat-adoption-questionnaire. If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. May 19, 2026, 1:34 am

Story
Hi! I’m Baritone or Barry for short. Born around January 2023, I may have some Siamese in me thanks to my blue eyes. I’m a super chill guy, and love to just hang out and cuddle in bed with my foster mom. She has a calm, supportive personality that makes me happy and I'd like that same vibe in my forever home. Sometimes I lay on her chest and lick her face! I really like people so I follow her around the apartment and eagerly meet new folks too. People tell me I'm a charming host! I’m very happy solo, so I’d love to be your one and only cat. Even though I’m pretty chill, I love playing too! I’m mainly a solo player and can entertain myself just fine. If you’re looking for a calm and cuddly cat to brighten up your life, I might just be a fit for you!

Story
I adopted her from my boss because her mother recently passed. Bella gets very stressed around other pets, but I took her in hoping she would be fine around my cat. However, they fight a lot and after a few months they have not seemed to be better with each other. She loves playing and will tell you when she’s hungry. She loves getting scratched under her chin. She will act a bit dramatic when I brush her, but for the most part she will lay there and just yell. She is very independent and will come to you when she wants love and attention. I do really enjoy having her, but my 2 year old tuxedo cat messes with her too much. And it has been stressing her out too much.
