Story
Meet Ember. *Bonded pair! Must be adopted with Rogue* Ember is a sweet and fluffy tortie girl. She has the biggest personality and somehow finds a way to make you laugh even if you have had a tough day. She is not a big fan of being pet, but she is a huge fan of hangin’ out. She loves to play with wand toys, springs, your socks, anything that you can toss her way and she can chase! She loves perches and scratch posts, anything that allows her to be high up and gaze upon her land (and her people). The way to Ember’s heart is food. She loves treats, Churu tubes, wet food, dry food, anything yummy. If you are feeding her, she is LOVING you. Her other hobbies include staring at you from various distances, starting wrestling matches with Rouge, stealing food from Rouge, chirping and getting the zoomies. If you love to hang, Ember is your girl. Rouge is a small gray boy. He is actually older than Ember, but his size still makes him look like a kitten. He is a very sweet boy but change makes him nervous. He needs a home where he can become the cuddly baby he wants to be. When Rouge first came to our foster house, he and Ember shared a playpen to give them their own space and to let his foster parents socialize with him. While in the pen he learned he absolutely loves head scratches, particularly behind his ears and sometimes under his chin. He would sit for the longest time for a head stratchie session and purred up a storm. Since then they have outgrown that space and have upgraded to a bedroom. He loves the space to run around and he loves laying on his foster mom’s bed when she isn’t using it, but he is not used to sharing his space with a human so he is back to being more of a timid boy. However with each day he hangs out more with his foster mom in the room, plays more and has more confident body language. His bestie Ember has been a big reason he is enjoying indoor life. Even with her aversion to being pet, there seems to be little that phases her. She immediately claimed her foster mom’s room as her own and mostly only hides when she wants to hangout with Rouge. And inversely, Rouge comes out to play and hangout when Ember gets up. With enough Churu treats, toys and time, Rouge and Ember will make a sweet (and very entertaining) pair who complement each other well. Ember and Rogue are just around a year old, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Marshall could author quite a memoir despite his short life so far! Marshall was seen by our Board President getting rolled by a car on a busy road in NJ in July 2025. She pulled over to rescue him and fortunately he wasn’t harmed beyond being very scared. She ran into the Marshall’s he had been rolled in front of to see if she could obtain a proper bag to transport him in. He rode back to our headquarters in Philly in a snazzy zipped up Marshalls beach bag and found his name from this graceful moment. Marshall was very tiny and loaded with fleas. He was all of one pound and eating on his own but we knew he would benefit from being reunited with his mom and any siblings so a mission to find them ensued. His mother was never identified but some sick kittens who were similar in age were found near the busy road where he nearly lost his life. Marshall and his possible siblings were loaded with fleas and half were suffering from eye infections. After a few baths, proper meals and TLC, they began to blossom. On day three however, Marshall developed swollen glands and red gums. He soon spiked high fevers and pneumonia despite the vet care he was receiving. We hospitalized him and soon learned he had a bacterium contracted from fleas that young kittens or frail cats are very susceptible to getting very fatally sick from. After 5 hospitalizations and a long course of medications, Marshall got better! He finally was able to get neutered and all his shots! Throughout it all Marshall showed his incredible purrsonality. He loves nothing more than to lean into you purring. He is super playful and downright rambunctious! After his third hospitalization after he had been admitted for an 106°F temperature, he was discharged once it was down to 104°F (normal is 100/101°F for kittens) and he returned to his foster home ready to play! Marshall loves to wrestle and play with foster siblings, Meowy Cyrus and Hermes. He also still enjoys roughhousing and snoozing with his cousin, Macy. He is super cuddly when his isn’t busy tearing up the universe and enjoying life to it’s fullest. Marshall is a survivor and a lesson in gratitude and joy. He reminds us every day of the fragility of life and how we should embrace our chances with full vigor and gratitude! https://www.familiarhearts.org/adoptable-pets

Story
Sweet little Macy thinks anything that waves is a toy! She loves batting at her foster sibling’s Daisy’s tail, and anything that moves is fair game for her to track with her eyes and attempt to catch with her little paws. Macy is the poster child for sweet. She is pure love and innocence. Her movements are a bit erratic because her mom likely suffered from Distemper while she was in utero. This means her cerebral cortex development was stunted and so her motor skills are less defined than they should be. Despite her clumsy movements, she takes joy in play and romping around just like other kittens. When she isn’t playing she can be found snuggling with her foster siblings (both dogs and cats!) or snoozing on her foster mom’s lap. Sweet little Macy needs to be adopted either with one of her adoptable friends in her foster home (she has many so this would be a discussion) or to a home where she can make friends with another cat (and a dog!) Macy has grown up with cats, dogs and ferrets and snuggles and plays well with all! https://www.familiarhearts.org/adoptable-pets

Story
Meet Dennis. Abandoned to the streets when his "owner" moved, this former street cat has turned into a squeaky softie. Dennis has officially retired from the street life and is now seeking the cozy retirement home he very much deserves. Estimated to be around 4 years old, you’d never guess it when you hear his high-pitched little baby meow as he conducts very serious business meetings with his toy mice every night. He’s what we like to call an extroverted introvert. Dennis wants to be belly-up soaking in all the pets he you can give him — he just needs a little encouragement to come to the party. Prepare for lots of belly rub requests and head boops. Dennis loves eating with company. He loves head scratches in between bites and will reward his chef with an enthusiastic forehead boop of appreciation. He’s sweet, gentle, and truly an absolute angel of a cat. Dennis is ready to trade alleyways for armchairs and would make his new family incredibly lucky. Dennis is around 4 years old, neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

Mattie has mastered the art of making humans feel special. When it comes to affection, Mattie is all in.
