Story
We adopted Dragon from a coworker who found him. We raised him since he was a neonate. He has only one issue that is preventing us from caring for him further and that is territory marking due to stress. We have a house of three autistic adults and we get overstimulated eaisily which stresses him even more. Other than that he is cuddly, mild mannered, playful, and very much enjoys being around people. He is learning to play gently and has made a lot of progress. We are hoping for someone who is able to help lower his stress levels and will love him, because he is a very good boy and it breaks our heart to re-home him. We believe he'd be a great barn cat, or indoor outdoor cat, he is an excellent mouser. He has been a part of our family for a couple years, so we want to know he'll be safe and loved.

Story
She was rescued as a kitten and given to me as a present. She is 8 years old. I’m looking for a home that will be loving and caring for her. She has been in a home with a dog and another cat. She is usually very sweet and loving. Loves attention when sitting at the computer. Likes to be near people when she decides. Sometimes likes to find a quiet area and sleep by herself. Really is a sweetheart.

Story
I rescued her myself after she was abandoned as a kitten. She had an eye infection which ended up resulting with it being removed. That hasn’t affected her negatively. She is 5 years old. I’m looking for a home that will be caring and loving. She has never been mean. She has been in a house with both a dog and another cat.

Story
I am Tootsie. I got my name because I am so sweet. I am also playful. I love can cat food. I am a brown tabby cat with white patches and markings. I also have some orange tones in my furr. I am estimated at a year or 2 old. I was found when a co worker of a volunteer called the rescue to report a momma cat and kittens that showed up on his property in Latrobe. He beleives momma was dumped because she was pregnant. They were feeding just her til she brought the kittens around. As the cold months were approaching, I was struggling to raise my kittens outside in the cold. There were 3 kittens, then only 2 were being seen. By the time I was caught with my babies they were in pretty bad shape. Both of my babies passed away. I have received a clean bill of health and am ready for adoption. I do get along with other cats with proper introductoons. I am extremely friendly and affectionate. I do not like dogs.
