Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Bradford, Pennsylvania

One SMART Kitty!Floyd was born about November 9, 2010 and weighs about 15 lbs.  This big kitty is a very smart boy and appeared here winter of 2017.  It seems he found the cat door in the front of the garage, wandered around in the garage long enough to find the cat door into the cellar where there is an endless supply of kitty food, fresh water and a rather consistent temperature of about 60 degrees.  So, winter of 2017 he terrorized the staff and the dogs that visit the cellar now and then to try to find 'treats' that the other rather feral cats, who live inside (cellar)/outside leave for them.  He was fine with the other cats, but the dogs weren't allowed to come up the steps after they got down!   No humans were allowed to touch him and if you reached for something in the shelves where he was lurking you'd get a good swat on your hand that goes 'THUD'!   Then summer came and he was gone.  The cellar was much more accessible to all of us, but we must admit we missed him a bit and hoped he was ok.  Then came winter of 2018 and the snow and cold hit early - Floyd was back!   He looked a little rough, but it didn't take long for him to regain his shiny fur and eyes.  And much to our surprise he was just a teensy bit friendlier and seemed to be taunting 'Cat Man Drew' by rubbing on his legs, yet swatting his hand if it came close.  OK...now is the time to neuter this boy!   'Cat Man Drew' grabbed him with some big gloves and into a crate he went!!!    Then off to see Dr. Rasey to get the deed done!  He recovered a few days in a crate and then was cautiously set free in the cellar looking rather indignant!  Perhaps he's mellowed a bit and we don't know if he'll be leaving again this summer, but if he does he may find his summer activities dampened just a bit if you know what I mean.    : )   We understand it is unlikely anyone will want to adopt Floyd, but we thought it was fun to tell his story and hope you enjoyed reading about him.  We've deemed Floyd a sanctuary pet and he is considered 'un-adoptable'. Joyful Rescues remains committed to our Sanctuary Dogs and Cats. They will stay with us for their natural lives and we will care for and love them. We will be their forever family. We wish we could do it alone but we need your help. We are looking for people who can help us with Floyds care. Please click the link below and donate.

Sadly, I Was Not Socialized. William was born about June 1, 2018 and is a healthy, happy, cat that is wonderful with the other cats and the visiting dogs.  Sadly, he is very fearful of humans as he was not socialized as a baby.  Joyful Rescues is looking for a home for this kitty that someone will be very, very, patient and/or let him be himself.  He would never attack anyone, but would just run away.  We would also be willing to let him go to an inside/outside or decent barn 'home'.  It would be nice if there was another kitty to pal with as he's always been with others.  All medical care has been done and there will be no adoption fee.  It is very sad, but way too many humans turned kittens into us that they said were friendly that were not and now we are unable, at this time, to take more cats in.  We could sure use your help to place our now sanctuary cats that live at the main location in the basement/garage/outside.  They are good about using the litter box.  Thank you.   Prior to being released as a sanctuary cat he was neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FELV.  He is given flea control throughout the summers.

We are SOOOO lucky!Igor was born around May 23, 2018  Igor came to us as a feral teen kitten who was passed the point where he could easily become friendly.  For this reason Igor lives as an outdoor/indoor garage and heated basement kitty at the main location of Joyful Rescues. He is one of several sanctuary kitties here that live the best life possible for them.  We cannot touch him, but as you can see he is well fed.  lol!  Our sanctuary kitties are welcome to live here the remainder of their lives unless a suitable home or decent barn environment becomes interested in them.   The ADOPTION FEE for Igor is $25.00 We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY.    All kittens/cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, wormed, treated for fleas and tested negative for FIV/FELV.

Izzy was born about October 3, 2020 would be our guess by looking at her teeth - they look great!  However, we were told by a neighbor that she may be 4-5 years old and judging by her belly fat that is probably the case.  The story goes that a woman passed away suddenly in September of 2021 leaving her young adult son alone in the city of Buffalo rented home with the two cats.  Then a girlfriend moved in and then they both moved out summer of 2022 leaving the cats behind.  What good kitties as they continued to use the litter box that was becoming quite full by the time the owner of the home visited and was so kind.....that he opened a window so the cats would escape - but they didn't so then they were tossed out on the street!  Then comes along a kind neighbor who contacts one of Joyful's very dedicated volunteers and thankfully we had room to take these kitties in quickly.  Thank you, Renee!  Renee fostered them for a few days before coming here and said she did well with her other cats and her small dogs.  Izzy was comfortable enough in the transfer that she was rubbing her head against Renee's fingers through the crate.   The adoption fee for this kitty is $100.00. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime.

Phoebe was born about October 3, 2019 would be our guess by looking at her teeth.  However, we were told by a neighbor that she may be 4-5 years old.  The story goes that a woman passed away suddenly in September of 2021 leaving her young adult son alone in the city of Buffalo rented home with the two cats.  Then a girlfriend moved in and then they both moved out summer of 2022 leaving the cats behind.  What good kitties as they continued to use the litter box that was becoming quite full by the time the owner of the home visited and was so kind.....that he opened a window so the cats would escape - but they didn't so then they were tossed out on the street!  Then comes along a kind neighbor who contacts one of Joyful's very dedicated volunteers and thankfully we had room to take these kitties in quickly.  Phoebe did well with her other cats and her small dogs.  Phoebe travels well and is adjusting here quite quickly.  Update from her foster mom:   Phoebe lives to love and be loved! Her favorite thing to do is lay on her foster mom's lap/ chest getting and giving love and purring up a storm! All you have to do is look at Phoebe and you get instant ' elevator butt' and loud purring!  She gets along with the resident cats in the house, but hasn't picked a buddy. She would be happy as an only cat, or with kitty siblings. Phoebe is looking for someone who will love her and help her to trim some much needed weight off of her beautiful form! Phoebe will adjust very quickly to a new home and new surroundings, because she doesn't want to waste any time losing out on love!     The adoption fee for this kitty is $75.00.

Kanga was born around October 10, 2021 and is an average-sized kitty. Kanga came to us with 4 newborns in tow and has been an excellent mother.  Kanga is amazingly sweet and attentive. Kanga loves to cuddle on laps and is a purring machine!  When you have company it won't take her long to come near and be social.  If there is another cat in the home she won't be a buddy but will coexist.  She seems fine with dogs with a slow introduction.  This sweet girl is ready for her own home now and so deserves the best!   Update from foster mom:  Kanga Pooh is such a love.  She can open my bathroom door if I DARE close it & then attempt to get on my lap & onto my shoulders!  A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime.
