American Shorthair kittens & cats in Manheim, Pennsylvania

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is primarily a sanctuary for senior and medically needy dogs.  Every once in awhile you will see younger dogs but for the most part our dogs live out their life at the ranch at the request of their previous owners or their owners families.  We have many sponsorship dogs.  Our sponsors love to keep in touch and know how their sponsored fur buddy is doing :) When we have foster families we are thrilled to be able to take adoptable younger dogs :)  So if you have ever thought about becoming fosters please feel free to go to our foster/volunteer page and fill out an application. The Ranch located at 737 Taylor Rd., Windsor, PA is always looking for dedicated volunteers that will commit to at least a 2 hour shift per week at the rescue.  Volunteers work in play yards, help with laundry and feeding.  Some enjoy landscaping or carpentry projects and some like to bake for the healing center visitors :) Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us! I am the sweetest little girl EVER!  I didn't have anyone love me and I found myself pregnant and alone. I was scared and I had no where to go. I had my babies alone under a deck :(  Finally someone saw me and my babies and called 2nd Chance, but unfortunately by then I had lost one of my babies :(  Now my 3 other little ones and me are safe in the arms of 2nd Chance. I'm spayed, housetrained, had my shots and am super sweet. I love kids but I am not fond of dogs. I can tolerate cats but would prefer to be an only pet. I am ready for someone to love me FUREVERVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat)   Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not. A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners.

She is living outside and will soon die if someone doesn't take her in.

Josie has been our family's kitty friend for several years now. She is a beautiful and independent girl who loves napping on the couch, exploring outside during the summertime, and being the neighborhood watch from the windowsill. She wants pets and scratches to be on her own terms, and she will quickly warm up to you if you are chill. She does not want constant attention but will curl up next to you on a quiet evening. She would make a lovely companion. She would be best with a small household or with children who are old enough to understand boundaries.

Moo is a sweet cat that we have had since she was a kitten. She loves people, other cats and dogs. We are moving out of state and unfortunately cannot take her. We want her to go to a good and loving home.

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.
