Egyptian Mau kittens & cats in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

There is a Bengal in all of us, waiting to be awakened. Might you embark on the journey of spirit? Silky Boy will show you the way of the Bengal... fierce, cuddly, and zoomy-filled. He has eyes that can and will stare deeply into your soul. If you enjoy a cat that can catch moving objects along with the best of them, then you may have found your man. Your extra small possessions? Mere toys, played with in ways you could never imagine. But fear not, for if you buy him a pack of batteries, he will lose all interest in the rest, rolling them around like it's his full time job. Despite his penchant for playtime, he balances his day out with cat naps by heat sources, in cavernous corners, and on available laps. If you can't handle his lap naps, your legs will be DEAD WEIGHT. And to those who appreciate low frequency sonic waves, his internal purr engine has a very easy on button- the head scratch. He comes equipped with a wide range of vocalizations, which he will use to confuse friends and enemies alike. He is a mysterious man of many names, such as SB, Lor Sweetie, Mr. Baby. Do not let his disguises fool you. Adopting Silky Boy is less "lifestyle choice" and more "matrix-bending reality shift". That said, the playbook is simple... give him love & attention, and he will give it back ten-fold. He may require more of those things than an average cat, but he will never hesitate to make you feel loved and cared for. A true companion at your side. Can you handle the best of the beasts? Reach out to learn more! Silky boy is looking for an adult only home due to his higher energy antics, but was surrendered with another cat and could live with a like-minded match in the future. Along with that, he also has a low grade heart murmur and is on a prescription urinary care diet. The cat that Silky Boy previously lived with also tested positive for FeLV, which Silky did test negative for himself, but due to the timeline of that test and exposure he should be the only cat in the home until he gets at least another test to better confirm his status. ------------------------------------ This cat has tested negative for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), which is specific to the felines and is not transmissible to dogs, humans, or any other animals, but previously lived with a cat that has tested positive. Due to that potential exposure, Silky Boy shouldn't live in a home with any other cats until he can be retested. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy, healthy lives—but it weakens the immune system, causing a shorter life expectancy than cats without FeLV. At PAWS, we believe every pet deserves to live out their life in a loving home for whatever time they have. We hope you'll consider opening your home to this special kitty! FeLV can spread to other cats, so they should live in a cat-free home or with other FeLV+ cats. Our staff will be happy to tell you more about FeLV, and you can learn more about FeLV here: phillypaws.org/felv FeLV+ adopters are also eligible for an Amazon gift card after adoption and this cat's adoption fee is waived. ------------------------------------ This cat is currently located in a PAWS foster home. Please email their foster parent at adoptions@phillypaws.org to learn more about them! In order to meet with any cats in foster care, you will need to have a fully processed and approved application first. To get the adoption process started, please submit an adoption application online at phillypaws.org/catapp. If you have any questions for our adoption team, feel free to email adoptions@phillypaws.org or call 215-238-9901 ext.30.

It breaks our heart to rehome Bunny. She is so sweet! We've really tried, but her and our other cat just don't get along. Bunny is scared of her, and she's also scared of my husband. This likely means she had a traumatic experience with a man in the past. She needs to go to a female-only household. She might be ok with a very chill cat who is her size or smaller but ideally she'd be the only pet. She's scared of our cat and my husband, but she loves me! She loves to snuggle and sit in my lap. She's very playful. She likes play time with her feather wand toy. She likes mouse and bird YouTube videos, and sometimes just watching TV in general. In the right household she would really flourish. We wish we could keep her, but it's not fair to make her to live in a household where she constantly feels she has to run and hide when my husband or other cat walks into a room. If it didn't work out, we'd happily take her back and find her a new home.
