Story
Gimli was found with Kiwi alongside the road, left behind and unattended. They’re both settling in to the shelter, albeit both a bit nervous. While we don’t know much about their pasts or their stories, we know that they both deserve so much more. They can go together, or sperate, but just into homes of love and patience to let them open up and blossom into their personalities.

Story
Meet our sweet and sensitive soul, Spike! He can be shy at first, but once he becomes comfy with you, you will have a friend for life! Because of his sensitive nature, Spike may do best in a quieter household. He may do best without dogs in his future home, since he would not come out of hiding when a new dog was added into his previous home.  Spike is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines. He is available for adoption at the Pet Pantry's main facility, 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster. If you think he may be the purrfect match for your family please fill out an adoption application! Applications are available at our location as well as online at  petpantrylc.org . From there, our adoption coordinator will be in touch!April 11, 2026, 11:42 am

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This dear kitty came to live with my dad 7 years ago as a 6 month old kitten . He passed almost four years ago and my mother-in-law moved in to his house that we own and has taken a love to the kitty cat. Ali is approximately seven years old and is so pretty and little. But she is shy. My mother-in-law is getting to the point where she can no longer take care of the kitty and we need to find a new home for her. She is not on a special diet or any special letter so she’s fairly easy to take care of. Unfortunately, I have two large boy kitty cats and a doggie and I’m not able to bring Ali into our home. We are looking for somebody to take her very soon into her new home. We have toys , scratch posts and food and litter to share as well. And we would be more than happy to give a contribution towards this organization if you decided to adopt sweet Ali cat.

Story
Rusty and his sister Tig were stray kittens found under my porch. I took them in with the intention of keeping them, but they unfortunately have not adapted to living with dogs, despite our best efforts to socialize them. Rusty is sweet, gentle and affectionate. He is shy at first, but very social once he trusts you. Would do best in a quiet and peaceful environment (without dogs). Would ideally like to adopt them out as a pair.

Story
He is neutered and has all of his shots. He was born 11/7/25. He’s a very loving and curious kitten. He loves to snuggle. He loves to play cat games on the iPad. Wish I could keep him, but I have too many of my own. I’m just a rescuer and my job is to give them a start in their life. Hopefully he gets a loving home. Thank you whoever takes him.
