Meet Luna and Zeta. These sweet sisters are almost two years old. They are petite, weighing approximately 9lb each. They are very sweet, playful, and social. We are very much hoping to have them adopted together. We rescued these sisters from a shelter in North Carolina in 2022. They are spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccines and take monthly flea/tick medicine. Please reach out if you are interested or have any questions.

Young adult, super sweet and cuddly. Wouldnt recommend with children because he can unintentionally scratch, but great with other animals. We found him sick on an Amish Farm and he is finally healthy.

Story
I took her in from somebody who was moving out of state. Whoever she was in a one cat household and I have other cats and dogs. She isn’t happy in my home. I really need someone who is very experienced and can work with her and take the time to let her adjust. I need serious inquiries only. If you have trouble with her please contact me again I will take her back I don’t want her to go to a shelter. She really can be a very nice cat but she needs it to be just her and no other cat.

Sweet one year old cat. Very loving and will cuddle all the time. She’s very good with my four year old who is very energetic and has also spent time with a Malinois puppy so she’s been around dogs. I’m moving in with my fiancé and he is allergic so I cannot keep her.

Story
Hi! My name is Sophia and I am about 4 years young. I was brought into the Pet Pantry with a lot of other cats from an abandoned home. I do have some things going on, her is a medical note from the staff veterinarian:  Sophia came to us from an overcrowded home. She was not well socialized and was not adapting well to caged housing. With her high level of stress, she would pass blood in her urine. She has continued to use her litter box. She has had radiographs, had a bladder ultrasound exam, had a urine culture--all were negative for pathology. She was tried on gabapentin and Z ylkene for anxiety, but would still pass dark urine some days. She was started on fluoxetine about a month ago, and has responded well to it and is doing better behaviorally interacting with people. We feel she still has a stressful evening now and then and will have a recurrence of bloody urine.  Sophia needs a quiet stress free home with patient caretakers. She has been eating a urinary diet and seems to eat it well. She likes slow approaches and will now enjoys being brushed and petted. She is quite curious and will come down to meet you. To aid her in adjusting to her new environment, we would like to send Sophia home with fluoxetine temporarily. She will eat her medication in canned food (pate) or Churu cat treat. When she seems comfortable and starts exploring, she may be weaned off of her medication. It also may be helpful to offer her litter that monitors blood in her urine by a color change (eg Pretty Litter).   I am spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines. I am available for adoption at the Pet Pantry’s main facility, 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster. If you think I 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 23, 2024, 11:00 am

Constantine is a sleek, handsome black gentleman. Having come from a house with many cats, he was a little shy with humans at first. He's come a long way toward trusting humans and asks for petting and attention now from visitors in his communal cat room. He loves the other cats that share his space.

Story
Cornelius is a very handsome ginger gentleman with stunning sea-blue eyes. Having come from a house with too many cats, he starts off a little shy with humans. He loves the other cats that share our communal cat room with him. He especially enjoys the company of his brother, Constantine, and would probably do best in a home where they can stay together. He would most likely thrive in a quiet household where he can continue to gain confidence. His personality is blossoming in front of our eyes and we'd love for you to meet him!

Don't let her grumpy face and creaky meow fool you - Pumpernickel is a sweetheart of a cat looking for her forever home. She's an independent, strong girl who loves attention on her terms and isn't shy about (gently) telling you when she's had enough. Head scritches are a must! She currently lives in our lobby with a few other cats and seems to tolerate having roommates just fine. This gorgeous chatterbox looks forward to living the good life with her very own people.

While Walter isn’t a lap cat he loves to be close to his human friends and prefers not to be alone. He is fascinated by other animals and enjoys when cats and dogs come to visit. He is also declawed in the front. Walter is gentle and affectionate and likes to lay on his back with his arms outstretched when he wants to have his belly rubbed. I have been traveling more and Walter would do better in a home where he has the regular company of people and or animals.
