House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Shadow showed up on my daughter’s porch. Her and her husband do TNR and neighbors know it. This beautiful regal lady was way too friendly to be a feral. But they caught her right away and took her to be neutered and her shots. Daughter and husband have three cats already so I offered to foster her until we find a furever home for her. I was hoping it would have been with me, I think she is about a year old….still has a lot of playing to do. Oh, and she is very inquisitive about everything! I have adopted a 7 year old lady recently and Shadow is just too much for her. I have had to separate them, doing room swapping. My little girl is afraid of Shadow. 😞 It has become urgent to rehome her now due to my medical issues and upcoming surgeries.

American Shorthair

Female, Adult
Lititz, PA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sophie is a cute, cuddly 8-year-old female cat whose elderly owner has to move into a hospice facility in January 2026. She had a rough kittenhood on the streets but as an adult has settled into domestic life. Sophie is healthy and has been receiving annual vet care. Unfortunately, her owner, in declining physical health and also caring for a second cat that has bullied Sophie, has been neglecting to provide Sophie with a clean litter box of her own, which has resulted in some litter box avoidance. Ideally, Sophie needs an experienced cat owner who provide her with a clean litter box and be a little patient as she adjusts back to a proper litter protocol. Sophie's sweet personality will reward you with lots of love and affection!

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cassandra is a 10-year-old female cat who was adopted from a shelter several years ago. Her current owner is elderly and must move into a hospice in January 2026, so she needs a new home as soon as possible. Cassandra is a mature, independent, and undemanding girl who will serenely watch you go about your daily activities from her favorite perch. She is a bit territorial when it comes to other cats, so she would do best in a household where she is the only cat. Cassandra is healthy, active, and has been receiving annual vet checks. Although she is 10 years old, she has years of love left to give.

Story
His name is cheetoh like the chips. He was my sisters cat in New York but she was very allergic so I took him in because she didn’t want him to go to a bad home he is 11 months old he is neutered. He is very friendly once he is comfortable and not scared. He is playful and gentle. I love him so much! Wish I could keep him but unfortunately new landlord does not want pets. I want him to be in a great loving home! He is friendly with kids as well. Over all an amazing loving cat!
