Story
Penny, an 8-year-old rescue from a Wawa alleyway, is a delight who loves lounging by the fireplace, playfully tussling with our dog, and sparking great conversations with her outgoing nature. She’s low-maintenance and endlessly friendly with people, winning over everyone she meets—except, unfortunately, other cats. For five happy years, she thrived as our only cat, perfectly content until other felines entered her world. Her warm, sociable spirit shines brightest when she’s the sole feline in the home. With heavy hearts, we’ve decided that surrendering her is our last resort, hoping she can find a calm, single-cat home where she can return to her happy, sociable self.

Story
Oreo is a two year old male who is a very lovable boy. He has a huge and vibrant personality. He is the definition of a tuxedo cat, and absolutely loves his scratching boards. He can be a scaredy cat and first but will warm up and show much affection. He can be bipolar as well though, and can scratch and bite. He needs to be in a single cat household and with the proper nurturing can be a wonderful pet. He already is when we wants to be.

Story
Blackie is a very social, affectionate young boyl, who loves to jump on your lap and purr. Contact: catchancerescue@gmail.com/ 610-324-4726 Hi my name is Blackie and I resemble a “miniature black panther”, I am intelligent, very loving black beauty with gorgeous eyes and a shiny, sleek black coat, who just wants to love, love, love you! I love to be hold, pet, lay on your lap and get lots of attention. If you think you can get any work done on your PC – well, I will lay next to you on your desk to keep you company but make sure to pay attention to me too and give me a head rub meanwhile. I am a cuddle and very affectionate with people. I am not very outgoing and interactive. My favorite thing in the world is to sleep in bed with humans right under arm and purr. I'm a loyal, loving companion and a very affectionate kitty and I love to roll over on my back to show my appreciation and love. I am very outgoing and interactive. As soon as you sit down I will jump on your lap purring. I am very smart kitty and if you call me I come right to you and follow you everywhere in the house. Did you know? Black cats have more baggage than your average feline. Seen as an enigma, a superstition, a symbol of luck – good or bad, depending on the tradition or belief, they are often misunderstood, or just plain looked over. Black cats have the lowest adoption rate. This is unfortunate, and not just for the cats- black cats make some of the best companions and people are really missing out! Although each and every cat has a unique personality, in general, I have noticed a few traits that really stand out in black cats. Here, in my humble experience is why: Beautiful: From brownish to bluish to every shade of black in between, black cats are beautiful in the way that one can only imagine onyx would be, if it were covered in fur. Loyal: No matter how many work trips or late nights, I am always greeted at the door. I am meowed to over the phone when away. Black cats are wonderful in being both friendly to all and dedicated to their person/people. Adaptable: While some cats struggle with change, black cats tend to quickly adapt to whatever circumstances they are dealt. Aware: Black cats seem to walk a line- they tend to be more calm and reserved than some other cats, yet they balance that by staying playful and active throughout their lives. They relish new toys, found objects, and are talented at entertaining themselves for hours (and napping for hours thereafter). The types of games they create and the ones they enjoy engaging in often involve others-people, cats, dogs, etc., and tend to be more complex, such as games of fetch and tag. Smart: In a final word, black cats are smart. They are savvy to things going on around them, and highly responsive and capable of handling change, throughout which, they remain calm, loving, energetic companions. Blackie is up-to-date on all shots: Distemper, Rabies. Tested negative for Felv/FIV. Spayed. Microchiped. Litter box trained. Contact 610-324-4726 or catchancerescue@gmail.com to learn more about this kitty.

Story
Hi, I'm PJ! I was saved from euthanasia at the Philly shelter after my "family" abandoned me. It was clear that the last “home” PJ was in, didn’t show him love or kindness. PJ has blossomed into a cat that adores affection and appreciates being part of a family. Part of his family is Gracie, his foster sister, a kitten that he helped nurture and take care of. All day long, they play, cuddle, groom one another, chase each other around the house, they’ll even cry out for each other when they are separated. PJ and Gracie are bonded and want to be adopted together. PJ is obviously quite handsome- his silky fur, beautiful green soulful eyes, adorable white lips, and one cute white toe! He’s smart (he knows his name and can figure out treat puzzles!), great at communicating, likes head scratches and cheek rubs, loves rolling around on fuzzy blankets and rugs, obsessed with his cat tower in which he spends all day bird watching and cuddling Gracie, and shows you love by nuzzling, snuggling and purring up a storm. You know he’s happy when he rolls around with his feet in the air and shows his belly! Besides Gracie, PJ’s other non-negotiable is his blankie- he carries it around in his mouth and he has a little song he “sings” during blankie time. PJ is the type of cat that wants to take his time to get to know you and build trust, but with patience, you will get the most loyal, loving, affectionate best friend you could ever ask for! PJ might do well with older kids that understand how he likes to be pet and understand patience. PJ is a fantastic big brother to the kittens he's lived with. He is litterbox and scratch pad trained. Adopt me (with Gracie!) and you will have truly saved a life and found your best friend! For more about me, visit @SmittenKittenLady on Instagram!

Story
Tweety is a handsome orange boy who is big for his age of ~9 mon. He has a beautiful tail with white stripes at the end. He likes people and is affectionate and gentle. Is useful to note that he was raised from a kitten in an outdoor enclosure, so while he is used to people feeding him, he's not so familiar with being a house cat. Many of the house noises frighten him and he can run fast and jump high. He can easily be picked up, although he doesn't yet like to be held or to sit on a lap. At his foster home, his favorite perch when he wanted to hide was on the furnace where he could watch everything. He grew up with other kittens and seems to get along with other cats, is unknown how he feels about dogs. He would likely be fine with older respectful children. He's gentle enough for children, but not confident in new situations, gets surprised easily. His birthdate is estimated as 7/17/2024 and he his living with his foster near Collegeville.
