Panther has no teeth and needs to eat, canned food only and must never be that outside because he cannot defend himself. He is a very friendly cat and great with other cats, but does not like coexisting with my two dogs.

Story
Meet Buddy — Hoping for a Forever Home Before the Holidays   Buddy is a gentle, loving tuxedo boy around 8–9 years old who has known more heartbreak than any cat should. When a new family member and dog entered his former home, Buddy was pushed aside… and ultimately left behind. Despite that, his loving spirit never dimmed.   Two incredibly kind neighbors fed him and looked out for him while he tried to survive on the streets — far too long for a cat who just wants to belong.   Buddy is heading to the vet in the coming days for the full workup, and he’s already proving what a sweetheart he truly is. He adores people, gives the cutest head-butts, and soaks up every bit of affection he can get. All he wants now is a family that will never fail him again.   Buddy would likely do best as the only cat in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention he’s been missing for so long.   If you’re looking to open your heart and home to a cat who will love you endlessly, Buddy is ready.    Let’s help this sweet boy find the warm, safe, forever home he deserves — just in time for the holidays.    To learn more about Buddy, and other pets available for adoption,  please visit www.animalfriendsoflansdowne.org   To submit an adoption application,  please utilize the link below. https://animalfriendsoflansdowne.org/adoption-application   Animal Friends of Lansdowne is a non-profit, all-volunteer community rescue, now in their twenty-first year.Animal Friends of Lansdowne Post Office Box 869 Lansdowne, PA 19050 (484) 463-1277 email: info@animalfriendsoflansdowne.org www.animalfriendsoflansdowne.org        Please Follow AFL on Facebook and Instagram!

Story
Introducing the very lovely Kara. Her story is a sad one. Born in 2008, Kara had kittens who were adopted out, and Kara was spayed and adopted by a kind gentleman with several cats. Kara was well cared for, but one cat bullied her and made her timid. Her owner became ill and passed away in 2018. Kara was then adopted by another kind gentleman and friend of the rescue, who passed away very suddenly in June 2022. Kara is as sweet as sweet can be, but she needs some work and commitment from a special adopter to help rebuild her confidence. You need to seek her out, then she will thoroughly enjoy affection and will reward you with very loud purrs. Kara has been updated on all her vet care and is a very healthy senior kitty. She truly needs for her next home to be her last. A calm and loving home, ideally with no other pets (though she will adjust to kind ones), would complete Kara’s wish list. A senior human in need of a gentle companion would be just perfect. If Kara’s story stirs your heart, you just might be her person. Please apply today.   To learn more about Kara and other pets available for adoption, and to download an adoption application, please visit www.animalfriendsoflansdowne.org. Animal Friends of Lansdowne is a non-profit, all-volunteer community rescue, now in their eighteenth year.  Animal Friends of Lansdowne Post Office Box 869 Lansdowne, PA 19050 (484) 463-1277 email: info@animalfriendsoflansdowne.org www.animalfriendsoflansdowne.org        Please Follow AFL on Facebook and Instagram!

Story
I’m Caesar, and I'm looking for someone to spend the better half of my life with. I was found abandoned in a sealed basement in Philly with my brother, who passed away shortly after due to infection from the living conditions, but after some love from my foster parents, I'm ready for my forever family! My foster noticed that my face is paralyzed and I've been thoroughly checked out. The good news is, it is stable and does not limit me at all, no need for meds or eye drops! Even better- it gives me a very charming smirk...bad news is I can get the occasional ear infection since I forget to clean the ear I can't feel! I love people and while I'm still learning how to trust and interact with them, I’m SUPER cuddly and a little needy once I trust you. I can get a little too excited when getting attention, especially at first, but I promise I'm working on better manners and how to ask for more—I just love pets! I’m neutered, up to date on vaccines, and all ready to go home with you. My perfect home would be just adult humans; I have had a few feline roommates; I didn’t love all of them and would require slow, respectful introductions to other cats. If there are children in the home, I am best suited for older ones who will respect my signals. To learn more about Caesar and other pets available for adoption, and to download an adoption application, please visit www.animalfriendsoflansdowne.org. Animal Friends of Lansdowne is a non-profit, all-volunteer community rescue, now in their 20th year of operation. Caesar is an AFL courtesy post.

Story
Meet Carleton, a majestic and impressively large cat with a heart as gentle as his rumbling purr. Carleton is the definition of a mellow soul—he approaches life with an easy-going demeanor and seeks out quiet comfort.   &#226&#128&#139He is a dedicated companion, but he expresses his devotion in the most wonderfully low-maintenance way. He is perfectly content to simply exist near you, whether that’s on the sofa beside you, or curled up on a blanket a few feet away. He offers his quiet company and soaks in gentle affection like head scratches and soft pets. &#226&#128&#139He truly doesn't ask for much—just a cozy spot, a kind heart, and someone who appreciates a big, gentle fuzzy friend.   &#226&#128&#139Home Preferences & Boundaries: &#226&#128&#139It's important for his new family to know that Carleton is not a fan of being picked up and carried around; he prefers to keep all four paws on the ground. A home that respects this boundary will be a perfect fit for him. &#226&#128&#139Kids: We believe Carleton can thrive in a home with gentle, respectful children who have been taught how to be kind to animals.  &#226&#128&#139Dogs: His interactions with dogs are currently unknown. &#226&#128&#139If you are looking for a calm, unwavering presence in your life—a large cat who will offer steady, quiet company without demanding the spotlight—Carleton is ready to offer his gentle soul to your home.     To submit an adoption application,  please utilize the link below. https://animalfriendsoflansdowne.org/adoption-application   Animal Friends of Lansdowne is a non-profit, all-volunteer community rescue, now in their twenty-first year.Animal Friends of Lansdowne Post Office Box 869 Lansdowne, PA 19050 (484) 463-1277 email: info@animalfriendsoflansdowne.org www.animalfriendsoflansdowne.org        Please Follow AFL on Facebook and Instagram!
