Story
Is about 9years old, adopted from local shelter when she was a kitten. Still has her claws and goes outside occasionally but definitely prefers inside. Is very loving. Has been with dogs and cats but does prefer single animal household. I have 2 scratching posts that can go with her to new home. She does not like being in cat carrier. New daughter in law is allergic and I’m relocating to Philadelphia. Looking for a person to care for her for however long she has left.

Story
Can’t take him with me in my move. He is very loving and does his own thing. Super curious in whatever you’re doing and loves to explore. He is a sweet boy and loves belly rubs weirdly. Comes with all the necessities litter box, brown cat container that looks like a dresser for the litter box, window hammock, automatic feeder, water fountain, tree, and toys!

Story
Mr. Tibbs is a laid back 6 year old guy who is a big fan of lounging around and sun bathing. He's not a big cuddler but will laying next to you in every room especailly if there is a soft blanket spot. The closest to cuddles you'll get is in the morning, you might find him laying on top of you waiting for the next round of food. He'll come greet you when you come home and say hi to new people coming over. He's not a fan of loud noises and hides during thunderstorms, fireworks, or vacumming. He will excel in a quiet home. He loves to chase a red laser around the house. He's good with staying away from food and drinks. He's been having trouble adjusting to new people living in the house for some time. This leads to him to hide and run away most of the day. It's heartbreaking to get rid of him but he will be happier in another home.

Story
Mango would be a great fit for a quieter home that likes to cuddle up with a cozy cat! He is a loved member of our house and is a playful guy! He loves to chase toy mice, balls with bells, balls in a track, and scratching posts! He really is a beautiful cat and really loves to snuggle up with a person or cozy blanket. We have had a hard time with our young son and Mango. He is litterbox trained but we believe he has had marking issues due to a dog that had also marked in the house. We worked hard with our vet to try to make Mango comfortable in our home and are heartbroken to be rehoming him. We adopted him from CARE 4.5 years ago and he is now about 5.

Story
Ginger was a stray cat who was close to death when we got him. We took him to a clinic and they nursed him back to health for two weeks, free of charge. We have had him since July 2025. He is a wonderful, sweet, playful, and loyal cat. He has only made my life better since taking him in. He follows me around like a loyal companion. Unfortunately, he does not get along well with other animals. We have another cat who has health issues, and that is why we are trying to rehome Ginger, AKA Gingy Boy. However, he is a FANTASTIC pet to humans and children. He is not aggressive with people at all, only very affectionate and loving. He loves to play, chase his tail, loves treats, gets the zoomies, etc. All the very adorable and endearing things a cat does. He is litter box trained, and does not jump on kitchen counters or tables. He is really good about drinking water and staying hydrated, and is not picky about his food. If I could keep him, I would. He is the perfect cat.
