My name is
Peyton!

Peyton is a senior sweetheart who hopes to find a special person with whom to share the rest of his life, hopefully with his buddy, Quinn, too.

Sadly, Peyton and Quinn were left behind when their owner died, and no relatives were willing to take them in. The futures of these extremely sweet boys were at grave risk until they found their way to Cat Shack.

Peyton spent some time at the vet hospital and received updated vaccines and badly needed dental care. He tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV.

Adjustment to the new foster home took a little time but Peyton is now happily settled in. He has no problem living with other cats but doesn’t interact with anyone other than his buddy, Quinn. Peyton’s favorite spot is a soft pillow covered with a polar fleece blanket. When he is ready for a good nap, he burrows underneath that cover and snoozes happily for hours at a time. When he is up and around, Peyton gravitates towards high places. He particularly enjoys trotting upstairs and walking out onto one of the exposed beams, where he sits and watches whatever is going on both upstairs and in the room below.

Peyton can easily be picked up and held and enjoys human attention. He is more reserved than his buddy, Quinn, but still extremely friendly and sweet.

Peyton’s coloring is highly unusual. At first glance, he is a typical black cat with a small white spot on his chest. However, his fur is pure white at the base and then changes to black, so that when he moves around, some of that white becomes visible through the black, giving Peyton a very unique look.

Peyton is extremely thin and should ideally gain several pounds. He is slowly learning to eat a wider variety of wet food and now eats some dry food as well. He will greatly benefit from TLC in his new home to help him eat good food and put on weight.

There is something about Peyton that can quickly grab hold of your heart. Please consider adopting him and, if possible, his buddy, Quinn, as well. These boys need and deserve loving care for the rest of their lives and have much love to give in return.

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!
