Story
I feel that this cat has potential for adoption because she has basically "adopted me". She waits for my truck each day until I get there to feed her and has hops in the truck with me to get warm during this so far unforgiving winter. I put a small pet house behind the bushes where she stays most of the time, but she likes to roam the parking lot and I'm afraid that one day some crazy tenant driving like a maniac might hit her. Once fed, she becomes very affectionate. I cannot take her inside my apartment because the rental company here charges an outrageous initial fee for pets and $35 a month every month thereafter. I'm much older, retired and on a fixed income and I simply cannot afford her food, litter, medical care or the monthly fees. I'm at my wits end as far as what to do with this situation and I hate that she has to endure this freezing weather. I seriously need help with this problem.

Story
Meet Ellie! This sweet girl was an owner surrender at no fault of her own. Ellie is 5 years old and she does have a liver shunt. Her previous owner did say she would have random flair ups and she does need to be on Hydrolyzed Protein food. We do know her condition can hinder her from finding a new forever home but we know someone is out there who would be perfect for her!

Story
Meet Princess Peach – A Regal Calico with Star Power Princess Peach is a stunning female calico with a true diva personality and no apologies about it. She’s confident, expressive, and knows exactly what she likes — and what she doesn’t. While she’s friendly and engaging on her terms, Princess Peach prefers a calm, respectful environment where her boundaries are understood. The busy shelter environment simply doesn’t meet her needs. Princess Peach thrives with routine, quiet, and one-on-one attention, and she would do best in a home without young children. In the right setting, her personality really shines — she enjoys affection, companionship, and being admired (as she should be). Princess Peach is the perfect match for someone who appreciates a cat with character, independence, and elegance. If you’re looking for a companion who brings beauty, confidence, and a little sass into your life, Princess Peach is ready to rule her forever home. If you think Princess Peach could be the queen of your castle, she’d love to meet you. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com

Story
Meet Diva – A Tiny Queen with a Big Personality Diva is a young female tortie with a true princess personality and all the confidence to match. She’s expressive, opinionated, and absolutely charming — the kind of cat who knows she’s special and expects you to know it too. Diva enjoys affection on her terms and loves being admired. She’s playful, curious, and full of character, with that classic tortie sass that makes life more entertaining. When she wants attention, she’ll let you know — and when she’s ready to relax, she’s perfectly content lounging like royalty. She would do best in a home that appreciates a cat with personality and respects boundaries, where she can be the star of the show and settle into a routine that suits her regal tastes. If you’re looking for a companion who brings beauty, confidence, and a little bit of attitude (the fun kind), Diva is ready to take her place as queen of your home.

Story
Meet Dr Pepper – A Sweet Classic Looking for a Home Dr Pepper is a 1-year-old male cat who was found as a stray near a Sheetz, but he’s clearly meant for a cozy indoor life. He’s a sweet, gentle boy with an easygoing personality and a friendly nature. Dr Pepper enjoys human company and settles in quickly, making him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, affectionate cat. He’s happy to accept pets, hang out nearby, and enjoy the simple comforts of being safe and cared for. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and after starting out on his own, Dr Pepper is ready for a fresh start in a loving home where he can relax and just be a cat. If you’re looking for a young cat with a soft personality and a lot of heart, Dr Pepper could be the perfect match. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Harley is equal parts sweetheart and wild child. Named after Harley Davidson, this girl lives life in high gear, especially with those always-on-alert eyes that make it clear she’s ready for action at any moment. She came to us as a tiny 6-week-old kitten after being found under the hood of a car, and she’s been revving hearts ever since. Harley has the cutest little marking on her belly that some say looks like a horseshoe, while others swear it’s a smiley face - either way, it feels like a sign of good luck. Harley gets along great with other cats, especially ones who love to play, wrestle, and keep up with her energy. When she’s not zooming around, she’s busy being a total lovebug. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate kitten with a little edge and a whole lot of charm, Harley might just be your ride-or-die.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 14, 2026, 8:10 pm
