Story
Alyla is a beautiful friendly tabby kitty who is about 5 months old. She came from a Breeder in Elmira, NY a family of 5 kittens and she was the runt of the litter. She loves to play but when she’s sick all she does is sleep and has no energy! I don’t want her to suffer anymore she needs a lot of care and attention than I can offer for her and I do a lot.

Story
Smokey is a spunky 2 year old girl with a big personality. She loves attention, but can sometimes become frustrated if behind a closed door or barrier. She prefers to be able to see all of her surroundings and come to people for pets instead of the other way around. Smokey seems to prefer women over men, though she has been warming up to all kinds of people here at the shelter. Smokey may need some extra time to settle from over-stimulation when first acclimating to a new home, but has so much love to give the lucky person who forms a bond with her. Come meet Smokey at the CCSPCA today and see if you could be that person for her.

Story
Kevin is a reserved and calm 6 year old black and white girl (yep, girl) who came to us with her sister Kevi when their owner could no longer care for them. She is often at her happiest finding a warm safe place to hide away and nap the day away. While she prefers her solitude, she is tolerant of other cats and is familiar with living in a household with others. She is a very affectionate girl once you get to know her and bring her out of her shell.

Story
Jadis is a 5 year old black and white girl with a big personality. Her favorite past-time here at the shelter has been laying around upside down and lounging about most of the day. She is affectionate and greatly appreciates head pats, chin rubs, and cheek scratches, but can be a bit testy about being picked up and held. her left ear is a bit crinkled, we believe from an old abscess that has since healed and is no longer in need of medical attention. If you have lots of cozy, warm spots in your home, Jadis would love to come lounge around with you!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I’m a shy guy looking for a safe place to land. I am not a house cat, and I may never be one—but I would do very well in a warm barn, garage, or other outdoor structure where I can live safely and comfortably while helping with natural pest control. I’m independent by nature and prefer to keep my space, especially at first. With time and patience, I may allow some gentle interaction on my terms, and I do enjoy treats once trust is built. I’m happiest when I’m given the freedom to do my own thing, without pressure to be something I’m not. What I’m looking for is a family or property owner who understands cats like me—someone who can provide food, shelter, and protection, while allowing me to live life on my own terms. If you have a situation that could benefit from a hardworking, low-key companion who values independence, I’d love for you to apply.

Story
Meet Casper, a sweet and friendly adult cat who was found as a stray and has been lovingly cared for in foster while waiting for his forever home. Casper is FIV+, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit—he’s just as affectionate, gentle, and deserving of love as any other cat. He has a calm, easygoing nature and truly enjoys quiet companionship and cozy moments with his people. Casper’s warmth and positive spirit shine through, and he’s ready to settle into a home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished for the rest of his life. Consider opening your heart to Casper and giving him the happy ending he’s been patiently waiting for. 💙🐾
