Story
Holy Cannoli! That's what you'll say when you meet me and want to take me home! I'm a lovely lady looking for a home where I can preferably be the only cat (or one of two). I love playing with toys, playing with my people (and their hands - I'm working on learning not to do this). I enjoy lounging in the sun, watching bird videos, exploring my home and high places, and love to chat with my people. I'm looking for a family that will give me time to settle and relax while I figure out the house, as too many things can make me nervous. Sometimes these nerves lead me to have trouble going in just my litterbox, so a family that will keep an eye on me and give me time to integrate is ideal. If you're interested in a sweet and playful gal, please feel free to stop by the shelter to meet me and take me home!

Story
Nanananananana...it's Batman! That's my name. I'm a super cat with a super sweet personality looking for my forever home. I'm an older boy that is looking for a family to help me manage my thyroid issues (easily manageable and affordable!) I like to watch birds in the window, play wit toys, eat treats, and lounge around with my people. I am a larger laid back boy and would possibly do okay with another cat, but would prefer a quieter home with older kids. Please stop by the shelter to meet me and take me home!

Story
Hi! My name is Charlotte and I am about 6 1/2 years young! I am a very sweet talkative lady who would love nothing more than to have a conversation with you. I was originally adopted a few years ago and recently had to be brought back because my furever human had to move. So I am looking for a home with another cat that I can hang out with and do cat things. But I also love a warm lap to curl on on and take a nap. I would prefer a quieter home, so no small children or dogs please. I love playing with wand toys and watching cat TV with the birds. If you think I would be a good match please come and see me! 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.

Story
Hi, I'm Olivia!I was found as a stray and brought to the shelter. I lived in a foster home for a while with other cats and did GREAT with them, so much so, that I'd prefer to live with another kitty that'll play with me and teach me the ins and outs of what being a house cat is all about. I am still very shy and will run away, but I love snacks (churus are my favorite). I am looking for a home without young children, while I may grow out of it, I will sometimes get a little spicy if you try to grab me too quickly. If you have the perfect home for me, come on into the shelter today!

Story
Hi! My Name is Mac and I am about 5 1/2 years old. I am a sweet boy, who loves to get attention and will seek you out for love. I enjoy sitting in a sunny window during the day. I was originally found as a stray when I was about 2 years old, and some nice people took me in and tried to find my owner, but after not being able to the Pet Pantry took me in. I was already front declawed and I REALLY do not like dogs. So I am looking for my furever home without any dogs! For the past few years I had a loving home, but due to their medical condition, they could no longer care for me. I do have a history of having a urinary condition, so I do require a special diet and lots of access to clean running water such as a water fountain to help keep any future problems at bay.  I am spayed/neutered, 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!

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!

Story
This is White Foots. In a previous life he was known as Hershey. • 2011 he was adopted from the SPCA • Feb 2017 he was dumped • He is chipped but his owners denied ever owning a cat. • Approximately 13 yrs old • Likes to sleep in a carrier but prefers a sofa • FIV & Feline Leukemia negative. He lived outside from Feb 2017 until fall 2023, part of that time on my patio, part of the time elsewhere. Fall of 2023 he decided he did not want to go outside ever again. My house is not the best place for him. With him I have 4 cats. White Foots is not comfortable with other cats & hisses or growls. It has taken 5 months for him to be okay with my 1 female cat. He needs a home where he is the only pet. A place where he can sleep on a sofa or chair which he is quite happy to share with a human, just not another pet. He is quiet. No drama. He would be perfect for an older person who doesn't want a pet who will outlive them.

Story
Two gray kittens, one male, one female, from the same litter. Roughly 4-5 months old. Twinky is the girl, and Dinky is the boy. Just temporary names until we find them a home. The male kittens is very affectionate and likes to sit on people and purr. The female is sweet and a little shy. These cats are totally free to any good home that will take them. You can have one or both if you don’t want to separate them. Anyone who is interested is more than welcome to see them so I can explain the physical differences between them since it’s a little hard to tell at first glance. Please please help me find a loving home for these guys.
