Story

Are you looking for a cat or two or more for you barn?  If not, do you know someone who is? Some of our cats don't prefer the indoor, house pet kind of life and that's okay! Instead of toy mice they'd really like to get their paws on the real thing. Our 'rodent control technicians' will work hard in exchange for food, water and shelter. Forgotten Cats will deliver your barn cat(s) to you sterilized, vaccinated, and at no charge!   Interested in learning more about our barn cat program? Please email info@forgottencats.org for more details (make sure to include your name and phone number!).   We have some 'purrfect' candidates available for the job that we'd like to get settled in before winter!  Our barn cats will be waiting to hear from you!  Thank you!  April 23, 2024, 8:02 am

Story

Pet me, please, and be with me!  Jack loves to be petted and is about 9-11 years old.  Jack had already been neutered before he came through our doors.  Unfortunately, he is not microchipped, so we are unable to contact his family.   Jack is a super amazing cat.  He is a chronic snuffler, and he takes a saline breathing treatment every day.  I brush him, and if I stop brushing him he reaches his paw out to my face gently and taps me so I don’t stop brushing him.  He also gives headbumps and loves to just lay near you, and he just appreciates your presence and time and is so grateful and sweet. Jack is playing with his foster family.

Story

Meet Lasagna, a velvety, young black female cat. She has quite a few favorite past times, such as entertaining humans as she bats around & chases her favorite toy, then carries it around in her mouth, playing with a long ribbon, and posing as a Halloween cat when excited.  She also enjoys purring loudly and meowing softly, such a cute combination! Lasagna also loves sleeping in quiet cozy nooks, chirping at birds outside, eating catnip and food, using her scratching post like a pro, and keeping her humans company while they work. She is not necessarily a cuddly cat, but she is affectionate in her own way, often seeking pets and head scratches!     Her foster would describe her as an easy-to-care-for independent kitty with purrfect litter habits. While cautious at first, this house panther does like people, though perhaps young children might be too much for her. In the shelter, Lasagna didn’t seem to enjoy the company of other cats but would walk away if approached.  When tested with a calm cat-friendly dog, she didn't hide, but was alert & peeked out at him from behind a curtain.  When he went into another room, she came out to sniff the area, so we think she may be a good fit with the right dog.  Please submit our no-obligation adoption application for a meet and greet or to adopt:   https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank you!  (Foster: Joyce B.)  April 23, 2024, 8:02 am

Story

Petite Sweetie! Meet Wednesday, a  all-black lady. Like the Addams family character that she’s named after, she is a bit mysterious but also enchanting. We don’t know a lot about her past, but she is a gentle and sweet cat who loves nothing more than to receive soft pets, be talked to, and play. She particularly enjoys balls of all kinds, especially ones that make noise and the toy where they go around in a circle. Wednesday doesn't mind being picked up for a quick and gentle snuggle with a few head kisses. She is also quite content to approach, rub against your legs, and receive even more pets. This lady loves soft fabrics and settling next to you to as a calm companion. Sometimes she takes a little time to find the most comfortable position, flopping about, which is very funny to watch.  She is good in a single cat household, and also seems to adore other cats, often cuddling with them or rubbing against them as they walk around together. We aren't sure if she's met dogs or children. Wednesday is FIV+, but we have found that FIV+ cats tend to be extra lovey-dovey.  FIV+ cats pose no danger to humans and can live and play with non-FIV+ cats.  She is currently playing with her foster family. Please submit our no-obligation adoption application to adopt:   https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/  (Foster: Cheryl P.) April 23, 2024, 8:02 am

Miss Tash

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 6 yrs

Claymont, DE

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Miss Tash has been in foster care for awhile, she deserves a family to spoil her and an entire house or apartment to romp in! Miss Tash has quite the story. Long story short, with the help of her microchip we were able to discover she was adopted in Florida, moved to PA with her people then later left behind - outside- when her humans moved. A neighbor woman found her crying in the window well of the home she knew. Just terrible to say the least. We were told she lived with girls about 10 years old as well as the 2 adults. Miss Tash is a sweetheart, but she’s also a little crazy in a new environment so her adopter will need to let her settle in. Tashie doesn’t ‘show’ well or make a great first impression. She does need to be the only pet, other animals stress her out. We are willing to do a foster to adopt situation with the right home, but you need to be willing to give her 2 weeks to decompress. Please email the rescue for an application to be sent to you AOLanimalrescue@gmail.com | All of our dogs and cats are upto date on vaccines, spayed or neutered, & microchipped. We do prefer adopters to be within a 1 hour drive of DE 19703 area.

Story

Sweet Baloo was a stray that had a person feeding him. When his one eye was severely injured the feeder contacted the rescue. An awful injury turned out to be a life saver, and Baloo’s life then changed for the better. Baloo was taken to the vet, his eye could not be saved, he was neutered, updated on vaccines and combo tested negative. We couldn’t put a one eye cat back out on the street but we weren’t sure of his temperament when we first got him. Baloo is such a gentleman so he is up for adoption. Baloo has short fur and it is thick too. He likes to play and enjoys being brushed. We can’t wait for someone else to fall in love with him like we did.

Story

Louie is a loving, sweet, active, adventurous but anxious almost four year old boy who loves to romp around a safe backyard & cuddle. He's an excellent hunter and will catch all of the bugs and flying insects if you let him. He's smart and food motivated, which is great for training; he already knows some tricks like sit, spin, and how to stand up! I adopted him when he was 3 months old and unfortunately my partner is allergic to his fur and dander. He is a king in his own (and our) mind and would love to have someone to cuddle, play, and head bump with. He would do best with: - being an only cat or with someone who has experience properly introducing cats to each other. - a safe backyard and a quiet house - females (loud male voices make him hide) - someone who can give him all the attention he deserves

We need somebody to foster Phoenix for 11 or 12 months and we are willing to pay up to $300 a month + all his essentials: food, litter, toys, litter box, sleeping bed, and so on. Phoenix is a emotional support animal very caring, calm, and who loves to cuddle. We moved in to a small apartment and Phoenix remains awake at night meowing which prevent us from sleeping, and this is affecting our lives cause I have Asperger's syndrome and my husband has bipolar disorder, so sleeping well is essential for us. We want to rent a big house when our lease ends so phoenix can have plenty space to stay awake at night, and so we to sleep. Till there, we need somebody to foster him
