American Shorthair kittens & cats in Ephrata, Pennsylvania

She was given to me by someone in reading. Her mother was a stray and gave birth, the original “owner” did their best to take care of the cat, but didn’t have the resources to take care of the mother and the mothers litter. She offered nala to me and I wanted to give her chance at life, not really understanding all that entailed ( all my cats have been take care of by the shelter, I never experienced a sick cat, I didn’t even know she was sick at first) she’s a wonderful cat, very sweet and has come a long way! When I picked her up she had fleas, ear mites, was severely dehydrated and malnourished. I had taken her to an emergency vet ( I have the paperwork for you) and she was given medicine, her ear mites didn’t go away even with the medicine to she still has that and I’m trying a treatment for her. She does great with my kids but I sincerely do no think she should be around very young kids for her safety. She can get a little rowdy after a while of tolerating it but that’s not her fa

While Walter isn’t a lap cat he loves to be close to his human friends and prefers not to be alone. He is fascinated by other animals and enjoys when cats and dogs come to visit. He is also declawed in the front. Walter is gentle and affectionate and likes to lay on his back with his arms outstretched when he wants to have his belly rubbed. I have been traveling more and Walter would do better in a home where he has the regular company of people and or animals.

The mother is a feral cat (friendly) that lives in my neighborhood. In Sept I discovered she had 4 kittens. I estimate they were born in mid-August. I captured and have fostered them since early November. They all took to the litter immediately. The 2 up for adoption are very friendly (once they get to know you) and playful, and both are starting to cuddle with me on the couch. My landlord won't let me keep 2 kittens (I also have a blind adult cat), and I can't afford to keep all of them long term. I'd like to have both adopted together since they've been together since birth and are very close to each other. I can share more about their individual personalities when I meet a potential owner.

Sari was adopted from an amish lady who would breed cats when he was only 4 weeks old. Once my cousin was gifted him, she quickly realized she couldn’t take care of him, as her mom was sick and she needed to take care of her. I took him in and housed him for 3 years but because my parents were raised in a home where their cats were indoor/outdoor, we had to do the same. Sari would get into fights with neighborhood cats and it all became too costly for me to pay on my own, without the support of my family, while being a full time student and only working part time. He is 3 years old as of today, and very well behaved. He does not eat dry cat food, as I have kept him on a wet food diet for a few years now, but I’m sure he could adjust if need be.

Cupid is super sweet to everyone he meets. He adores cuddles, belly rubs, napping on laps and cuddling up next to his cat playmates. He would do best with other cats since he has lived with them and always had a playmate or cuddle buddy. He was found on the street by someone walking their dog and delivered to the foster home in a taped up box.
