Story
Meet Oscar, he is a 9 year old cat we got when he was 4. He is the sweetest most lovable boy and just loves to cuddle and chill. He is the best cat. Although he is food stealer, be warned! Lol Oscar is great with kids but may need a home without little kids as I think the chaos is stressful for him. He also needs to be in a home with no dogs and no other male cats. He is good with female cats. Unfortunately, he has become increasingly more stressed since we both lost our female cat a few years ago and added 2 new kids to our family and has had increasingly worse behavior issues with our other male cat. The vet recommended prozac to see if that helps, unfortunately due to some medical issues on my end we can't afford the medication for him. This was such a hard decision to make but feel he may do so much better in the right home for him.Only asking a small rehoming fee to make sure he is going to a good home.

Story
Meet Sweet Eugene. He is a sweet, high energy, extremely playful, occasionally bossy 7 month old pirate kitty. Life wasn’t always so good for Eugene and his extended family. It wasn’t too long ago that he was living off a busy country road in Washington County, where many of his friends and family members were killed by cars. Despite Eugene’s sad beginning, he is a happy, go lucky cat. Perhaps his sad beginning, taught him to be the flexible and dynamic kitty boy that he is. He has quickly integrated into his current foster home where there are four older adult male cats and three domestic rabbits. And he loves each and every member of his extended family. His favorite past times are rough housing with the older cats, playing in empty boxes and with the cat wand, watching the rabbits, eating, and getting his cheeks rubbed. He also loves rolling around on his back when he gets loving. And he takes treats like a dog out of your hand.He was born with micropthamalia, which is a condition that develops in utero and his eye is recessed and almost undetectable as a result. He will need to have it removed so that it doesn’t cause any issues as he grows older but this will be done when he gets fixed.His vocalizations are not what you’d expect from a typical Tabby cat. In fact, he chirps and trills like a bird more than he meows. For such a big personality, he has such a quiet, sing songy voice. His foster family says that he is an absolute delight to have. He’s incredibly social with the other cats, if not occasionally bossy, gentle towards the domestic rabbits, and a pleasure to take care of.

Meet adoptable Catniss! 💕🐾At 6 years old, Catniss is ready to find a loving home to call her own! 🏡Catniss is a sweet, loving girl who may take a little time to show her personality. She tends to be more reserved when roaming around, but she deserves a family who will give her the love, patience, and comfort she needs to feel at home. ❤️Catniss would prefer to be the only cat in the household, where she can enjoy all the attention without having to share her space with other feline friends. She is ready for a home where she can settle in at her own pace and enjoy being someone's special girl. 🐱💗If you are looking for a sweet companion to share your home and heart with, Catniss could be the perfect match for you!📍 730 Church Street, New Kensington, PA📝 Adoption Application: https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388

Story
🐾 Meet Bonded Sisters Dotti & Luna! 🐾Dotti and Luna are two beautiful sisters who are looking for a forever home together! 💕 They are both a little over two years old.These two have been through a lot together. They were abandoned while caring for their young kittens and were eventually taken in by a foster family. Their kittens were adopted last fall, but Dotti and Luna have remained by each other’s side through it all.Dotti, the black-and-white sister, was an amazing mama. She even helped nurse a foster kitten and some of Luna’s older kittens! 🥹 Both girls are incredibly playful and sweet. They love belly rubs, being brushed, and spending time with the people they trust.Luna is especially sweet and loving, while Dotti can take a little more time to warm up. Once she gets comfortable with you, she is just as sweet and affectionate. ❤️Because of their past experiences, both girls can be very territorial. They are slowly getting used to other cats, but there have still been some disagreements. For that reason, they would likely do best in a home where they can be the only pets, giving them the chance to settle in and feel safe together. They may also do well with younger kittens after they are fully established and comfortable in their new home. Dotti has also experienced occasional snoring and has previously needed steroid injections for what is suspected to be a nasal polyp. Her new family will simply need to keep an eye on her breathing and monitor for any changes.Dotti and Luna are two wonderful big girls who truly need each other. They have shared so much of their lives together, and we would love nothing more than to see these sisters find a home where they can stay together forever. 🐱🐱💗Could you be the family these beautiful sisters have been waiting for?📍 730 Church Street, New Kensington, PA📝 Adoption Application: https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388

Story
💜🐾 258 DAYS. Adoptable Mikala has been waiting for her forever home... And in those 258 days, this beautiful girl has made a HUGE transformation.When Mikala first came to us, she was terrified of human hands. She desperately wanted affection, but something in her past had taught her that a hand reaching toward her was something to fear.Our team discovered that she LOVED a back scratcher. It became her way of accepting the love she so desperately wanted while still feeling safe.So we waited. We gave her time. We respected her boundaries. We let her come around at her own pace.And slowly, over many months, Mikala began to trust us.Now she happily accepts pets from our hands. 🥹💜For Mikala, this isn't a small thing. This is a HUGE milestone.And she has blossomed in other ways, too.Today, Mikala is the welcomer of our catio room. When someone walks in, she gets up and comes to the front of her catio to say hello. She seeks people out and requests pets from anyone who enters.The girl who once couldn't trust a human hand now actively asks humans for affection. We are SO proud of her.But there is one thing we haven't been able to give her yet: A forever home.She has shown us that when she feels safe, she can grow. She has gained confidence in her catio and explores the room, visiting her feline neighbors along the way. Because she seems comfortable around other cats, we think she could do well in a home with a feline friend.She just needs the opportunity to settle into a home, feel safe, and continue her journey with someone who understands that trust takes time.Mikala has already spent 258 days waiting for that person. Please help us find her forever home. 🙏Share her story. Tag someone who might be the right fit. Help us get her in front of the person who will look at Mikala and say, “I'll give you the time you need.”📍 730 Church Street, New Kensington, PA📝 Adoption Application:** https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388

Story
Meet adoptable LorettaLoretta is an 8-year-old kitty who has been waiting 272 days for someone to see the sweet girl hiding underneath all those spicy opinions. 🌶️🐱When Loretta first came to us, she was terrified. She didn’t trust people, didn’t want to be touched, and needed a lot of time to understand that she was safe.But look at her now. 🥹💕After 272 days, Loretta is slowly but surely showing us that she does want to connect with people. She will now accept a few gentle pets from people she trusts, and she’s becoming much more comfortable when visitors enter her catio room. She’ll get up, wander around, check people out, and sometimes even act like she might want some attention.She may still have plenty of spice 🌶️ and she is definitely not a kitty who wants to be smothered with attention. She will let you know when she has had enough, and her signals need to be respected. But she’s learning that people can be okay.That maybe… getting a little bit of love isn’t so bad after all. ❤️Loretta is the kind of cat who makes you celebrate every tiny victory.She doesn’t need someone to rush her or expect her to become a completely different cat. She needs someone who will meet her where she is, respect her boundaries, and give her the patience and consistency she deserves.We truly believe there is more of Loretta waiting to come out once she has a quiet home and a person she can finally call her own. 🏡💜272 days is far too long for any cat to wait for a family.Could you be the patient person who gives Loretta the chance to finally blossom? 🌸🐱📍 730 Church Street, New Kensington, PA📝 Adoption Application: https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388Please share Loretta’s story. Her person could be out there and they may just be one share away. 💜🐾
