My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

The handsome guy is Tux. Tux is all dressed up, and now needs a place to go... he'd love to come hang out at your house. Tux was trapped as part of a small TNR effort in Harleysville, but this guy was too friendly to let back out. Plus, Tux tested positive for FIV, which is no big deal, but means he should live the rest of his life as an inside cat. FIV is very hard to transmit from cat to cat, so Tux could live with other calm cats. He will need regular vet care, as FIV can affect a cat's immune system, so he needs to be kept healthy. Other than that, Tux should have no issues from the FIV and should live a long, happy life.
Tux is a friendly guy once he gets to know people, and will even tolerate being cuddled for a bit. As he gets more comfortable in his foster home, he is opening up more each day, and we expect that in a forever home, he will blossom into the amazingly sweet cat we know he is. Please give this former stray a chance at a happy life with you. Adopt Tux!

Adopting from The Cat Shack

The Cat Shack rescue is all volunteer and the adopted cats are delivered to your home. Because we deliver the cats to you, we must restrict the adoptions of our highly adoptable cats to a 1 hour drive from the Allentown PA area. In certain situations, 'special-needs' cats, ferals and older cats will be adopted to homes at a greater distance then a 1 hour drive from Allentown PA.

Young KITTENS are always adopted in Pairs or to homes with other felines already in the home. Click here to read why kittens are happier with a buddy!

All cats are vaccinated, dewormed, tested and altered as part of the adoption contract. This basic care (and other vet work required to make our rescues healthy) is included in the $85 adoption donation!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask our adopters to fill out a brief application. We seek adopters that will provide a loving home for the life of the pet with proper vet care.

The Cat Shack adoption contract states that the adopter will keep the cat safe, provide vet care and will return the cat to the Cat Shack rescue if the owners find that they can no longer keep their pet.

The Cat Shack adoption fee is $75 and includes FeLV/FIV testing, vaccines, deworming, the spay or neuter plus any other medical issues needed. This often includes dentals and other expensive vet work.

Go meet their pets

We always have many cats and kittens listed on our website at www.thecatshack.com, plus we have adoption centers where you can meet some of our cats live in the following locations:
PetsMart in Whitehall PA, the Petvalu in East Greenville and and Petvalu in Quakertown.

More about this rescue

The Cat Shack is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization staffed by volunteers.

We keep all of our rescued cats until they get adopted and will treat all medical issues identified by our vets. All of our pets are fostered in the homes of volunteers and we utilize our adoption centers in the PetsMart in Whitehall PA, the Petvalu in East Greenville and and Petvalu in Quakertown to help us find homes for our rescued pets.

Our group also has a very active Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program where feral cats are altered and returned to their original location to live out their lives without reproducing.
