Ida

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 4 yrs 2 mos

Harrisburg, PA

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi! I'm Ida, and I am very excited to meet you! I'm a sweet, gentle girl who loves to be pet, cuddled, and played with. I enjoy exploring and love to jump and climb! I am super playful, and could play with my favorite string toys all day long. Nothing makes me happier than quality time with my favorite humans. If you're looking for a buddy who will be a loyal, fun, and adorable companion, I'm your girl! Until recently, I spent my whole life within a laboratory cage being poked and prodded. I never got to enjoy a chin scratch or the experience of a lazy day of sleeping by a window. Now I'm finally free! After everything I've been through, it can take me a few days to warm up to a new environment-- but once I do, I will be the most fun and friendly cat you've ever met. The humans who have met me refer to me as a little ray of sunshine, and say I'm pretty clever, too! I would love to find a home where I can have my own bed to curl up in and cat tree to jump on. After all my time being locked away, I am ready for all the love and attention a family can give me. I get along with all kinds of humans and am friendly with dogs. I would be happiest in a home with no other cats. If you are interested in adopting Ida, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org.

Hello new friends, I'm Claw-dette! And I'm the cuddliest kitty you'll ever meet. To me, there is no such thing as a stranger, as I love everyone I meet (human or animal) right away! I would be the perfect family cat, as I am gentle and full of endless amounts of love. I love to nuzzle my head against you, sit on your lap, and hang out together. I've never had toys before, but I think they're fun and am learning how to play for the first time in my life! I like to groom other cats and snuggle with them, so I'd love to go to a home with at least one other kitty sibling. Please take me home-- I promise to give you nuzzles, cuddles, and affection every single day. Until recently, I spent my whole life within a laboratory cage being poked and prodded.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hello everyone, I'm Opal. You wouldn't know by looking at me, but I spent my whole life within a laboratory cage. I never got to enjoy a chin scratch or a lazy day of sleeping in a cozy spot. Now I'm finally free! After all my time being locked away, I am ready for all the love and affection a family can give me. My foster family says I'm as friendly as can be! "Snuggling" is my middle name, and all I want to do is be pet. I love to knead and get SO excited when my favorite humans come to pet me. I'm a young gal who just wants to purr, purr, purr. Other cats are always welcome to be my friend, too. But I wouldn't mind being an only cat, either. Please take me home! I promise to make your days brighter.

Dolly

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 5 yrs 5 mos

Harrisburg, PA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Dolly is a sweet 5 year old Tabby who has brightened our lives in the six weeks since we've been fostering her. Dolly is sweet and lovable, often looking to play or to cuddle, and vocally makes her intentions clear! Dolly would be the perfect fit for those looking for a more social and involved cat. After a few days of acclimation to her new life of freedom, Dolly quickly got used to the apartment lifestyle. She is perfectly litter-box trained and hasn't yet had any accidents in the house. She's very food motivated and will make sure you don't forget to feed her each morning and evening - she enjoys eating dry food on top of Weruva wet food and also loves the freeze-dried chicken treats from Trader Joes! She's easy to care for given enough love and attention and will be especially comfortable in a home where at least one person is frequently home! Dolly is still learning how to enjoy being a free cat after her laboratory past but she has made massive strides since we started fostering her. She loves her favorite cat-approved scratcher toys. Dangler toys and felt mice are also frequent favorites of hers. She also loves being close to her humans: when she has a chance, Dolly loves nothing more than to sleep right on top of you, if not cuddled up right next to you! She also enjoys being pet on top of her head, under the collar, along her back, and especially below the chin. Dolly does get overstimulated sometimes and will occasionally hiss or swipe if she isn't getting enough attention, but she is learning to be OK on her own for longer periods of time and does this less-and-less as time goes on. Dolly is a very sweet cat and we have enjoyed welcoming her into our home!

Story

So, Wolfgang or Wolfie as he's more commonly known by, is a 3yr old orange and cream domestic short hair. I got Wolfie from a lady who rescued his mother and then his mother had him and his litter mates. I hadn't planned on selling my home, but in order to attend nursing school, I have no choice but to move in with family. I've exhausted every search looking for a place for this sweet boy and his sister and I'm at my wit's end. Wolfie has the sweetest personality, he loves giving kisses, cuddling, and toe-bean massages. He loves tiny mouse or bird toys, they make him feel like a provider and hunter, he'll gift them to you. He's always purring. He dislikes oil flea treatments and ear cleaning, but gives little problems with nail clipping. He never wets outside the litter box, he's the best boy. He's shy with new people, but eventually comes out, he doesn't like loud noises. He'd be the greatest addition to a single owner or a quiet family with gentle kids!

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Jameson. Jameson is a chunky, playful, cuddly boy. He just turned a year old this May (2024). Neutered in Marc24. Up to date on shots & flea/tick preventative. Jameson is an indoors-only cat. Definitely a typical orange cat-- rambunctious, but also clingy. (it's a good thing!) He loves to snuggle, be picked up. Playful boy loves his crinkle tube toys, and chasing balls/crinkle toys around the house. Good with kids, unknown with dogs and cats (I've never had him around either). He is my special, perfect boy. But.. Jameson requires an experienced cat parent. Jameson requires prescription food, and cannot eat anything else. If he does not eat Rx food, he will develop frequent, painful UTIs. I am partially disabled and can no longer afford his prescription food... and I do not want to put him through the pain of recurrent UTIs. I want to ensure he can go somewhere more financially stable than my home is, where he can get all the appropriate medical care and food. <3
