Story
Everyone who knows us, knows we take in lost souls. We previously had 6 cats who got along wonderfully well with each other. Eight months ago, we took in Yoshi. He took to us, my daughter and I, very well. The problem is whenever he approaches any of our other cats, they end up cowering, hissing or swatting at his face. From the point of view of us humans it looks like he is simply approaching them to play or sleep with, but for whatever reason the other cats don't want anything to do with him. Yoshi is a rescue from the Scranton area. My daughter's friend shared that when her neighbors moved the left Yoshi behind. Knowing that we take in such cats my daughter brought him home. For the first month he stayed in her room and did very well with her and her other pets, a rabbit, snake and gecko. We've tried to be patient, but our cats just don't seem to like Yoshi. Yoshi has been neutered, chipped, and is up-to-date on his shots. Best guess on his age is between 18 - 24 months.

Story
Lammy is a 4 year old female cat who is healthy, sweet and friendly. She will sit with you when she wants pets but also she is independent and doesn’t follow you around all day begging for attention, she likes to do her own thing too. She loves treats and toys! Rehoming her isn’t something we wanted to do but we have come to the decision she could be having a better life than what we have had to change hers to. we had a baby 2 years ago and after our kid started to crawl, lammy and our other cat have become enemies and fight and hiss constantly when they are around one another. Lammy seems to be the one more obsessed with following our older cat around so she has been sectioned off to the 3rd floor of our house. We have tried multiple times over the year to reintroduce them but they will not get along. We do go upstairs and spend time with her and she even likes playing with our kid too but we feel bad she is alone mostly. We really love lammy and she deserves a loving home!

Story
Bette is a shy girl with people. She needs a family willing to work with her to gain her trust. She is sweet as pie, and very food motivated. She would make an exceptional companion to another cat. She loves her foster siblings and is often found snuggled up or playing with one of them. She is fine with dogs and has no issue telling them to "back off" when they get in her space. If interested in Bette, please fill out an adoption application at www.pldpaws.org, email with questions pldpaws@gmail.com.

Story
Introducing a gorgeous grey cat, a spirited one-year-old with a flair for the dramatic! This feline is a captivating blend of stubbornness and affection. Watch as he playfully (or not so playfully) engages with any 'scaredy cats' in the vicinity, showcasing his bold and adventurous spirit. He gets along great with bolder, more assertive cats. But don't be fooled by his feisty side – this kitty has a heart of gold when it comes to his humans. Prepare for an abundance of cuddles, purrs, and head boops, as he transforms into the most loving and loyal companion you could ask for. This isn't just a pet; he's a furry friend ready to fill your life with laughter and love! Stryker currently lives with a large old dog who doesn't pay any attention to him, several feline foster siblings and a bearded Dragon. Are you ready for a shadow cat that loves to make sure you are OK wherever you go in the house? Then Stryker may be the one for you! If interested in adopting Stryker, please email us at pldpaws@gmail.com or fill out an application online at www.pldpaws.org.
