Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Somerset, Pennsylvania

Meet Blackberry! Blackberry was brought with a few friends after being found in an abandoned house in late March. If you are looking for a girl who is both sweet and sassy, Blackberry could be for you. She can be cuddly at times and want to be alone at other times. She can quickly snap from the sweet to the sassy, so watch out! She is super playful and isn't quite sure when playtime is over sometimes. She likes to stick her paws through her kennel and bat at people passing by and also at your head (if you're giving the cat under her attention) Blackberry fits the words "cat-itude" and "spicy" to a T. At just a little over 2 years old, this silly girl has a signature head tilt when you're doing something she's unsure of. She loves attention and will push her body under your hands for pets/scratches. When she is "over it," she'll quickly jump away to the back of the kennel or bat you away. She has no problem showing just how assertive she can be. She is just a big ball of fluff, cute and attitude all rolled into one. She will give a slight warning before turning to her "Mr. Hyde" personality. She is the best example of dual personalities of animal nature in cats. Most of the time, Blackberry displays the cute innocent baby girl just begging for attention. She can be cat-selective at times and will be dog-tested soon! If you're ready to experience an entertaining and delightful cat, Blackberry could be the perfect fit for you! Come meet her with an approved application!

Callie is our beautiful and elegant girl, who is about 5 years old. She is a domestic long hair cat with the most beautiful color patterns. Her eye color against her coat patterns gives her such a unique look, not to mention, she's super fluffy!! Pictures just don't do her justice! Callie was surrendered to us in early May in hopes she would have a new life where she would be loved and get all the attention she deserves! She is a very shy girl. It takes her a little time to warm up to new faces. She is still adjusting to being held by people, but she definitely loves attention and can be a little weird attempting to accept it from certain people. She will accept pets/scratches and purr for a couple seconds, then run off as if you're playing a game of tag. She enjoys her little mouse toys and playing when no one seems to be watching. She seems curious about other cats. When you let her roam the cat room, she will gracefully walk in front of other kennels, sniffing and looking in curiously. She has lived with a dog previously, but we are not sure how she would be with them. We will have her dog tested in the near future. Callie is looking for a loving home willing to give her all the time and attention she wants but also respect her space when she wants to be alone. Meet Callie today with a pre-approved application!

A letter describing PoundCake to potential adopters from our Founder and shelter director: I stopped at the shelter this morning as I often do every morning before work. I fed Catalina and the other kittens. Grabbed a hoodie and went to leave. PoundCake meowed. That old raspy meow he does and tried to chase me down. He wanted petted. I stopped and kneeled down and pet him. Then I picked him up and he purred like there was literally no tomorrow. I told him he was the bestest boy there ever could be. I knew that I had to leave then or I was never making it out the door. I turned quick and ran and he followed me as fast as his pudgy legs could carry sir pounder……. He only made it halfway up the stairs as I turned to shut the door. The look on his face “Don’t leave me…….” Crushed my soul this morning. And I was late for work. PoundCake isn’t old. He just acts it. He is around five years old. Has great teeth! He was pulled from a colony trapping where he fathered many many children before volunteers got the colony under control. It was below freezing when I said I would give him a try to be adopted out here. One speck of kindness and he is your friend for life. He bonds almost instantly, and with each passing day the heart grows fonder. He was something to someone once and that someone was his absolute everything that he lived and existed for. Ties severed because of some bad behavior and placement outside…. I am sure of it. Fast forward to now, rescued and vetted and slowly stealing my heart too. I hold him longer than I should. Special cats like Poundcake draw lines in the sand. Most cats when adopted are just happy they are with awesome humans and grow to love them day after day. With PoundCake if I hold him too much and cross that line, he will hate me when he is adopted. He will love his new people for sure, but will hate me for letting him go. Like he wasted his love twice in life and starting over again. So whomever adopts him absolutely SHOULD cross that line of no turning back, but never ever break his heart because he now carries a piece of mine along with his.
