Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We are urgently seeking a foster or rehoming of my late great-aunt's cats. She passed about two weeks ago and left behind four kitties. Her and her husband cared for abandoned and stray cats their entire lives, but when she became very ill she could no longer care for them. They have been living alone for over a month, with only their food and water being attended to. We will take all four kitties to the vet before they are rehomed, but first we need a loving home for them. Sadly, the rest of the family is out of state and is unable to take them in. Brady is 15 1/2 years old, most recent shots ~2016. He is diabetic and will most likely require insulin shots when placed, but otherwise is in good health. Also quite friendly, but a little bit more shy than Nicky. Apparently he was always the one to wake up my great aunt and kept her motivated for many hard years. A little skittish, but confident he would warm up. No contact with other pets/kids.

Nicky is 14 1/2 y/o, most recent shots ~2019. Friendliest of the bunch, we were able to pet him. I am sure he would adjust well to a loving owner. He is diabetic and will most likely require insulin shots when placed, but otherwise is in good health. No contact with other pets/kids.

Sunny is 11 y/o, most recent shots 2013. Feral stray kitten & probably from the same litter as Luna. He is also quite skittish, but not aggressive. May take some gentle loving to warm up to you. He was taken in as a stray as a kitten, so he is used to people, just a bit shy.

Neither were ever particularly aggressive, but may take some gentle loving to get used to you. They were raised by hand from kittens, so they are used to people, but are shy.

Story
Steve is a very laid back calm boy who just seems to want to get along with everyone. He is absolutely addicted to Churu so that's a must in his life. He also really enjoys chasing string and laser pointers. Most of the time though he likes just hanging out with his person. Not necessarily an in the lap cat but he likes to be right up against you. My cats won't give him a chance but he does try to get along with them. He did start out as a feral boy so he can be a little standoffish at first but he's worth the effort.

Story
Riley is a sweet, talkative, affectionate 2-3 year old cat. She loves spending time with her favorite humans and having a chat with them. She enjoys purring and hanging out in the kitchen to keep you company while you cook. Riley will get along with other cats with a proper introduction but would also do well by herself. Riley is ready for her forever home!

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.

Cleo is named after Queen Cleopatra for her beautiful, big eyes and "eyeliner". She is the sweetest little kitty! On top of her soft, beautiful fur, she's very affectionate and would be your best cuddle buddy! She'll even give you head bumps and kisses. 🥰 She loves her toys, and being a playful kitten, but she knows how to relax on the couch with you and just watch TV. **Vet references required** Cleo tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia, and was given a flea treatment. If Cleo sounds like the purrfect kitten for you, please contact Valley Pet Association on Facebook for more information!! ❤️🐾 https://www.facebook.com/ValleyPetAssociation?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Story
Mattie is beautiful and loveable. She is 5 years old and very playful. She has been living with her 7 year old cat-brother for her whole life and suddenly the two of them are not getting along. They seem to be at the age where they are displaying dominance toward each other and they are scrapping and getting into fights. We have chosen to keep them separated when we are not at home, for their safety. We have had both of them to the vets to see if there are any issues with either and none has been found. We've only been told that each of them must want to be ruler of the house and so the 2 of them aren't seeing eye to eye. I think Mattie should be in a home where she is the only pet. She very social towards people but has only been around adults so not sure about children.
