Story
I’ve found my cat while he was a baby while I trained him to use the litter he still make some mistakes. Damian is a very active cat he eat a lot but he needs to be put on 3 meals a day and that’s it so he won’t at risk of overeating or throwing up, he like to play with toys or even play with you.He knows how to use the litter, the type of home he is looking for is one that can gives him attention love and support to make mistakes and learn from there.

Story
Mr. Bruce here was found outside in the street and I took him in and cared for him for the last few months but unfortunately I am not able to keep him long term so I am hoping someone is able to give this sweet cat a new forever home. He is roughly 12-15 months old and has been neutered and is up to date on all his shots. Very playful and sweet and he loves to watch National Geographic shows on the tv in his spare time.

Story
I adopted her 3 years ago at a ASPCA. She was a kitten. They told me that she had something wrong with her eye but it turned out that she has FHV. With a lot of love and some supplements she thrived. We were really attached to each other. She would follow me everywhere. She even sat on the side of the tub while I took a shower. Now that I gave her to my sister temporarily she is very angry with me. She hisses at me if I try to go near her. She used to sleep on me every night, it's very sad. I just need to find a good loving home for her.

Story
This cat was adopted by a family friend in August but he had been neglected (litter not changed often enough, not had enough time spent playing with him, not being fed regularly). Since early September he’s been living with me with ample food and play and has really livened up. He’s an extremely friendly cat, loves to spend time with people and will curl up on your lap or next to you when he’s not playing. Unfortunately I can’t care for him as I already have two cats in the home and do not have the space for a third. Billy is extremely sweet and deserves a loving home that can provide the best for him.

Story
IF INTERESTED : amada1021@gmail.com TEXT : (201) 867-8543. Striking and sweet Spaghetti, like many other adoptable house cats, was thrown out to the street only because he was not neutered the owners did not like the strong smell of his urine and decided to get rid of him. The night I found him he was crying and asking for food. I offered food, he began eating and let me bring him home. He was so happy to be back indoors. He is only a YEAR old. He is around other calm cats and likes kittens and fine with dogs. Whoever adopts him will be so lucky. He has been fully vetted and he is ready to go to a loving home. He feels comfortable with kittens but not so much with adult cats because he was beaten badly when he was on the street and he still remembers that. He will need someone with experience and patience; he is shy at first but after you gain his trust he is very loving and sweet. Application, home visit, Adoption fee, adoption protocol is mandatory.

Story
Schmatta was running around the neighborhood and being fed in our neighbor’s backyard. Around 4 months ago we took over some of the care of that neighbor’s cats when she became very ill. Schmatta continued to be fed outside by us, in the neighbor’s yard and on a street nearby. We became particularly concerned about him because he didn’t get along with the other street cats and didn’t have good street crossing instincts. We had already started feeding on our front porch and hoped that he would start feeding at our house and stop crossing the street. He started eating on our porch and following us, like a dog, to our neighbor’s house. He was adapting to us, but we were not convinced that he’d ever get along with other cats or happily stay indoors. He has since come into our house. He’s turned out to get along with other cats…mostly. He does not appear to have any interest in outside. He also has turned out to be a lap cat that likes tummy rubs. Who knew? We are guessing that his age is between 1-2 years old. Sadly, that means that he’s too young for people of our age. This is why we’re looking for a permanent home for him. Someone will end up with a great cat. IF INTERESTED, Email : amada1021@gmail.com Or text (201) 867-8543 Adoption fee and adoption protocol is mandatory

Story
Mini Bini is the quintessential feline BFF! In fact, she's purrfect in every way!! Mini is approximately 7 years old and looking for her new human/family. This little beauty was rescued from horrific conditions, but the past is now behind her. Mini Bini went off to a wonderful home, but sadly the adopter moved and couldn't along with this cutie pie. She's now ready and waiting for her new permanent home! Mini Bini is VERY low key but does require a few "super" simple things if becoming a new family member! * A bed where she can sleep (preferably yours) for cuddling any time of the day * Yellow catnip banana and string toys (also loves silvervine for the teeth)! * Dry food only (trust us when we say we've tried every brand of wet). She's a kibble girl at heart. * Water fountain (favorite past-time is to watch water running) * One or two sunny windows where Mini Bini can keep an eye on the world outside. Added bonus: Mini Bini is confident, curious and loves bonding with her human. Her purrfect home is with an adult who is home to give her lots of affection and playtime in a peaceful environment. In turn, Mini Bini will use the litter box perfectly, charm you with her cute personality and may occasionally give you a scalp massage (she loves playing with hair)!! Mini Bini is absolutely adorable!!
