Story
Andy is a senior cat estimated to be 14 years old (possibly older), with a heart as big as his hugs. He is a special-needs cat who will thrive best with an experienced, patient adopter who understands senior care. Andy has had dental work and requires a wet food diet. One of his kidneys is significantly larger than the other, which simply needs to be monitored. Andy is front-paw declawed. He sometimes struggles with litter box use and does best with a sensitive paw formula. He also wears a diaper for spraying issues, which may improve in a single-cat home or with a dedicated space of his own. He may be experiencing age-related cognitive changes and can become vocal when seeking comfort or reassurance — once he finds his person, he settles. He gets along with some cats and low-energy dogs but would be perfectly content as an only pet. A retired adopter or someone who works from home would be ideal. Andy is, without exaggeration, one of the most affectionate cats you’ll ever meet!

Found cat roaming our area recently. An adorable kind loving cat who will be an amazing addition to any home. Our other cat has a urinary Tract disease that flared up due to Bennys arrival so in order to reduce his stress we are trying to find Benny a more suitable home. He loves to cuddle and seems very good with people and pretty good with other cats. Initial ask is 250$ but would be willing to negotiate on that price. Thank you for your consideration!

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Elsa, a beautiful 3-year-old calico who just needs a little time and patience to let her sweet personality shine. Elsa can be shy with new people and in new environments, often spending her first days tucked safely away in her bed while she settles in. Although she prefers to take things slowly, Elsa shows signs of wanting connection once she feels safe. She doesn’t mind gentle, patient introductions and will quietly sniff offered hands. After a few minutes of calm company, she began leaning in for affection, bumping her head into hands and purring happily while enjoying attention. Elsa would likely do best as the only cat in the home, where she can feel secure and comfortable at her own pace. She has no known history living with dogs, but she may do well with respectful children who understand how to give her space while she adjusts.

Story
Macaveli is a 3-year-old orange tabby American Shorthair with a big personality and an even bigger voice. He’s quick to announce himself the moment he spots someone and is happiest when he has company nearby. Macaveli spends most of his day out and about in his room, taking in everything around him and making sure he is part of the action. When it comes to attention, he is very clear about what he wants, happily bumping his head into your hand for more pets, especially head scratches. He’s also a playful boy who enjoys interactive time and engaging with his environment. Macaveli may be cat selective, which means he may get along with some cats but not others depending on personality and proper introduction. He could live in a home with other cats with slow, thoughtful introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. He has no known history with dogs and could live with children. If you’re looking for a confident, chatty, affectionate cat who keeps life entertaining, Macaveli is ready to meet you.

Story
Mojo is a sweet boy who we originally adopted from the humane society of Philadelphia. Shortly after adoption he started having seizures. After speaking to our vet there wasn’t much we could do without breaking the bank for imaging. We kept him and tracked his seizures (about once a month) and supported him around his seizures as best we could. In April we were relocating to GR and discussed bringing him back to the shelter or moving with him, we were worried about the stress of a move. The shelters vet checked him out and started him on medication and reached back out to us to come pick him back up as they were worried for his adaptability (they had discussed the alternative of euthanasia). The last thing we wanted was for him to be put down so we picked him back up and moved him here. He has been seizure free since on this medication, however his med schedule is too intense for us to keep up on (twice a day). We are looking for someone who can be home with him and love him.
