Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in York, Pennsylvania

Garbo is a beautiful long haired girl with a heartfelt story. She is learning to trust her humans after not having the greatest life for nearly two years. Her eyes are stunning and actually change from a golden color to a deep rust color (her previous owner named her Rusty). Garbo came into her foster home on 3/14/24 with her six 4-day old kittens because her then owner thought the kittens were ugly (not long haired like her first litter) and threatened to throw her and the kittens outside. But Garbo sadness didn’t start here, it started before this litter of kittens. Garbo was an indoor/outdoor cat, and after having her first beautiful litter, the family thought it was OK to let her outside to get pregnant the second time in hopes of having more kittens like her first litter. The evening that Garbo came to me she was covered in mats that took about four weeks of combing and conditioning her coat to get them out. She also had sticks and twigs matted into her back end so bad they had to be cut out. She had ear mites as well. It truly broke my heart. Garbo was scared and wondering why she was removed from the place she knew as her home. For several days would growl and hiss whenever you would get close to her or her babies. After a few days, she calmed down and realized she could trust us. Garbo still showed signs of displeasure towards my husband and son, and we figured at that point she had been abused by the husband at the house where she came from. Change still comes hard for Garbo, but each time we move her to another room her upsets are shorter. Two days ago was the first she purred for me and rolled over for belly rubs! We are working on socializing her with our personal cats and other foster cats in the home at a very slow pace. Our hopes are that she will begin to get along with at least some of them. However, if she does not, we know she will do great as a single animal. Garbo loves her treats so this is one avenue we are using to help her understand that she can trust guys too! She enjoys playing with catnip toys and loves to scratch on scratching post. The laser light is another favorite of hers. Garbo is spayed, tested negative for FIV/FELV and heartworm. She is up-to-date on vaccines, flea treated, dewormed, and is micro chipped. If you are someone who is willing to take a chance on this beautiful girl and not expect her to be your best friend the first day go ahead and fill out an application and we can talk. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdQcj1lEWjtzv3v-HtlrKlxFQjxedLGi_t7FH-KmAfBAnigDA/viewform

Prince came in with Cher and they both came in from a hoarding case where there was 25 cats and five dogs staying in a motel room. Although I wouldn't say that they're necessarily completely bonded I do feel that they would do better together. Prince can be a little shy to begin with but is an extreme love bug and will cuddle with anybody that's laid back. He's very pretty boy he likes to be the center of attention.

I don't have the time for him.

Ellie's photos DO NOT do her justice! Her coat is stunning & oh so soft! Ellie loves head scritches &getting brushed. She purrs like crazy when getting brushed. She will let you know when she's done with the attention. She loves playing with laser lights, ball toys w/bells, tunnels, & cardboard scratchers. She is dog tolerant, cat friendly w/proper intro. unknown with young children. Ellie is food motivated especially with Churros! Ellie is fully vetted incl. spay, rabies, distemper & fiv/FeLv negative. She has been wormed for all 5 worms & flea, mite & mite treatment given. She is microchipped and litter trained.

Stormie is a long haired 7 year old chunky girl. She is very affectionate once she gets to know you but is sassy in the beginning and will require patience until she settles into her new home. She will need to be the only cat in the home but she may get along with a calm dog. The quieter the home the better for her. Stormie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

Auggie is very sweet and lovable. He is about two years old, and white and black, long hair, very full coat. My daughter took him in to help an elderly man who could no longer take care of Auggie, and we found that he does not get along very well with dogs (we have 3). Away from the dogs he is kind, and wants a lot of attention we cannot give him. He knows how to use his box. He has been declawed by his previous owner. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines.

Enzo, ZoZo, Foofy, ZoFro…. He is SUCH an amazing boy. Such a lover, such a cuddler, such a playful boy. He was rescued from the YSPCA in 2019. To our knowledge he was about 2-4yrs old at the time which would make him about 7-9yrs old now. Enzo does get along with our dog but our dog was a puppy when they were introduced and it did take them a few weeks to adjust. Enzo now years later full on wrestles with our 60lb dog and is very much a cat that shows face around the house, not a run and hider. He would do well in a house hold that will give him lots of attention and treats and cozy spots to lay. Enzo does have seasonal allergies that will make him a little itchy in July and December (on the dot) but he recovers quickly and on his own. Vet says he is perfectly healthy! We want to see him go to the BEST possible family who loves cats and will treat him like the main character he is! This is VERY hard for us to have to rehome him, so please, serious applications only.
