Story
Torrente was made to be someone`s bestest buddy. He was a bit apprehensive of shelter life at first but has come around and grown to love us! He loves to be cuddled once he warms up to you and is so so sweet. Initially we thought he was a bit spicy, but turns out he is just very cat reactive! So as long as he can be the king of the house he will do great! He also needs a little extra time and patience when it comes to adjusting to his new home.

Story
Clint is an International Man of Mystery. He was dropped off in a carrier outside the CNY SPCA overnight in the cold, and is just starting to warm up to people again. Because of that, we don’t know a lot about him. He likes treats and once he trusts you, he will let you pet him for what seems like hours. Clint needs someone who will give him the time he needs to get used to his new environment while showing him that love is available on his schedule.

Story
Sniffer is an 11 year old sweetheart. He was surrendered when his owner became too ill to care for him. He has the quietest meow you’ll ever hear and he loves everyone that isn’t a cat. He’s looking for a lap to lay on and someone to love. He needs a pill twice a day for a thyroid issue, but it gets crushed up and put in his wet food and he doesn’t even know and is less than $10 a month. Don’t let that deter you from bringing Sniffer home, he will make it worth your time for sure

Mickey can come off with an attitude, but he just knows what he wants! He goes nuts for treats and sleeps in the silliest positions! He doesn`t mind other kitties but can get jealous sometimes!

Story
Hi there, Polly here! I am a long-time stray who was finally rescued with my son, Cato, by my side. Now that he has found his forever home, it is my turn! I am just the cutest cat looking for my forever home. I am a very sweet cat who loves to play, but I can be a bit shy when you first meet me. I was used to living in constant fear for my safety, and I was always worrying about where I would find my next meal. I am finally starting to realize that I have been rescued and that I can RELAX! I would love a home with windows I can look out, and I LOVE cat trees! I also like to explore, play with wand toys, and eat treats. In return, I will give you all my love and affection for the rest of my life. Polly is about 1 year old and has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated, and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS. To express an interest in adopting her, you need to fill out our adoption application, including as much detail as possible at https://kittycorner.org/adoption/application/.  Please be sure that your email address is correct. If your application is accepted, KittyCorner will contact you via email to set up a time for you to come and meet her.  We require a donation of $100 per kitten/cat which will contribute to the cost of veterinary care that the cat(s) received for all the above-mentioned procedures/treatments.  KittyCorner is a New York State Registered Shelter/Rescue, Registration Number: RR0279. *All kittycorner.org kittens/cats come with a lifetime “cat-back” guarantee. If at any time, for any reason they need to be returned/rehomed, please just return them to KittyCorner. We will happily take them back as our mission is to ensure that all our adoptees will always have a safe place to stay and call home.April 23, 2025, 9:55 pm
