Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Bradford, Pennsylvania

 Joyful Rescues is considering Tom to be a sanctuary kitty with us.  It's not that he is feral as are the other 6 sanctuary kitties here that live in the basement, garage, outside, with cat doors open 24/7.  Tom is a friendly kitty, but he seems really elderly and it also seems that he has lived a rather rough life and likely mostly, if not all, outside.  He was not neutered until he arrived....maybe his playboy days were over so he decided to find a nice retirement home as he invited himself to live here.  Whether one of the other cats showed him all the doors or he found them himself is a mystery, but he's not the first kitty to simply appear in our basement.  He was afraid of us humans at first, but warmed up quickly once he realized he was safe.  Tom is very happy here and hangs around the humans when outside.  We have noticed that his eyes seem 'weepy' and his breathing is audible.  Other than this he seems healthy for his age and has a good appetite and gets around just fine.  Just an absolute guess maybe he was born in 2009.  Would we welcome an adoption for Tom?  Yes, as long as we felt he would be happier there than he is here. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime. The ADOPTION FEE:  There is no fee for Tom. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A CAT FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list.

Met Fred as a kitten at the home of neighbors. I was instantly attracted by his big foofy tail. He fitted in easily with my other three cats. He is slightly odd in his vocalizations; he is not at all bad-tempered, but where other cats would meow, he may hiss or growl -- I compare him to a little kid who has grown up in a household where everyone uses the f-word all the time. Actually, I think he's quite shy, and he avoids strangers to the house for several days. He purrs and loves lapsits, when he will pump vigorously, sometimes accompanied by drooling. Until now he has been able to go outdoors, as I live in an area along a creek bank and trees, where it's quite safe. However, at times he has had to be an indoor cat, and he has adapted without undue objection. He likes his Friskies, both wet and dry, and his bedtime treats. I hate having to part with him, but I'm moving across the country and have committed to bringing only two of my four cats.

With a coat as vibrant as a patchwork quilt and a personality to match, Ember is the epitome of friendliness. This tortoiseshell beauty charms everyone she meets with her playful antics and affectionate nature. Whether she's curling up in a sunbeam or greeting visitors with a cheerful meow, Ember's warmth and exuberance light up the room like a burst of sunshine.

Vader arrived at the shelter in July of 2023...a good samaritan brought him in after discovering he had been dumped at a barn. Vader was severely matted upon arrival....with a lot of brushing & care....Vader is now a very handsome fella and is ready to find his forever home.Vader is a relatively large fella...weighing in at just a little over 16 pounds (he says it's all fur and to keep the Temptation cat treats coming lol). As you can seen he is also very handsome...(but he already knows that he says). Vader is a fella that knows what he likes. He likes attention in moderation and is not a huge fan of being picked up. He likes to receive attention on his own terms and he will let you know when he has had enough attention by pawing at you. To sum it up...Vader has "catitude"....but we love that about him. If you like a sweet cat with a side of spice than Vader is your man! Vader likes to spend his days hanging out in his communal cat room and lounging around. He will occasionally play with a feather toy and he will show affection by brushing up against your leg. Vader doesn't seem to mind cats at all as he currently resides with some other kitties. If he is placed with children they would need to be older (10+) due to Vader's side of "spice". Vader also requires a home without dogs. Interested in adopting Vader? Please stop by to meet him any day between 12-4pm. Adoption applications can be found here at the shelter, on our website, or you can email us for one.Website: www.spcaallegany.orgEmail: spcaallegany@gmail.comPhone: 585-593-2200 EX 2
