Story
This handsome tomcat announced his presence with a confident strut and natural debonair flair, but unfortunately chose a home where he couldn’t stay! So, he strutted his stuff on over to us, where he’s now got a great view of the birds outside (he’s an avid birder), and on-demand chin scritches from our awesome volunteers. He’d likely thrive in a home with older kids who can read his subtle cues for when he’s had enough attention, and one with plenty of wide windows where he can maintain his favorite pastime.Do you have some time to come in to meet this debonair dude during our walk-in hours of noon to 4:30pm Wed - Sundays (6:30pm Thursdays)? We know that he’d love to make your acquaintance!You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

Story
Tony came to us when his family moved to a place where he and his other feline friends weren’t allowed to follow, so we’d love for you to come by and get to know this shy little sweetheart a little better yourself soon! He’s looking for a quiet and cozy home, with patient friends who are willing to let him drive the pace of any interactions. Oh, and easy access to good scratching posts will get you bonus points in his books! Tony can be a little picky about who he shares his time and energy with, but if you have a similarly patient and chill kitty at home, we’ll talk you through a slow-paced introduction for them that should lead to a happy feline environment in the end. Come in during our open hours of noon to 4:30pm Wed – Sundays (6:30pm on Thursdays), and spend some time getting to know this handsome young feline!You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

My new friends here are still getting to know more about me, so in the meantime, why not come and sit with me for a few minutes today? The SPCA is open from noon to 4:30pm Wed - Sundays (6:30pm on Thursdays), and I`d really like to show off my superior sniffing skills!You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

Story
Sushi is a 7-year-young gentleman whose love language is everyone he meets. His paws were made for making biscuits, and his little head? Well, it has exactly one job: rubbing against absolutely EVERYTHING to spread as much love as physically possible. This sweet man loves bird watching, getting his booty pats, and showing off his world-class cuddling skills. If you’re looking for a companion who will happily soak up all your love and give it right back tenfold, Sushi is your guy! He’s also enamored with his acorn tree hidey-hole, and will happily dive headfirst in for a quiet moment when he needs it.Now, Sushi does have one little request: he wants to be your one and only. He isn’t a fan of sharing his people, so he’s looking for a home with no other pets and no plans to add any in the future. He has so much love to give, and he wants to give ALL of it to you! So, if you`ve been looking for an enthusiastic snuggle buddy, why not come by and get to know Sushi during our walk-in hours of noon to 4:30pm Wed - Sundays (6:30pm Thursdays)?You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

Story
Bruce Banner’s got a little secret, and it’s not just those fabulous extra thumbs he’s packing! He’s got a medical condition which may sound super intimidating and scary, but one look at this bouncy and super social young kitten will help you to see that he’s a fighter! When Bruce and the rest of his littermates were born, they were exposed to feline leukemia (or FeLv for short). His immune system’s been able to mount enough of a defense against it, though, that he’s not contagious to other cats. He and his sibling (Tony Stark) have what’s called “regressive FeLv infection”, which means that they both should have a normal life span, with very low likelihood of reactivation of this infection.With that being said, Bruce would likely do best in a relaxed, quiet house, because stress has a negative effect on everyone, and doubly so for him! He and Tony enjoy cuddles and play time in equal measures, so if you’re looking for a pair of playful, snuggly kittens, please consider coming in to meet with these two sweethearts. Our Adoption and Medical teams will be more than happy to talk you through how to prepare for these loveable little guys, so that you feel confident with your newest family additions! Stop in during our open hours of noon to 4:30pm Wed – Sun (6:30pm on Thursdays) to get to know our very own superheroes, Bruce and Tony!You can also reach our adoptions team:by email: adoptions@spcaonline.comby phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221
