I am a young cat with lots of energy, but I also know how to chill. In the morning, I get the zoomies and like to run and play. I love to chase ribbon toys and I even know how to fetch. I also really enjoy treat puzzles and hunting for hidden treats around the house.
The afternoon is my siesta time when I snooze in my favorite spots. I always know just when it is mealtime – the most exciting time of day! At night I am quiet and won’t wake you up.
I am gentle and will let you trim my claws and pick me up. I do like to explore all the nooks and crannies of the house but most of the time I try to stay out of trouble. I am not much of a lap cat, but sometimes I like to snuggle up next to my person and make biscuits. I am not picky, and I like all kinds of food.
Hobbies: Bug hunting! I am a fierce hunter and will catch any fly or bug. I also like to watch the birds and bugs outside the window.
Favorite Toy: I love to leap and chase after the wiggling ribbon at the end of the wand, and chew on crinkle balls and carry them around the house.
Favorite Napping Spot: I have my own pop-up cube that I nap in during the day
HOW I CAME TO THE PGSPCA
I was adopted out from the PGSPCA as a kitten but came back again when my favorite person had to move somewhere that was not good for kitties.
DREAM FAMILY
I am a bit shy and need some time to get comfortable with new people and places. I am easily startled and would like a family that isn’t too loud and will give me a chance to learn about my new home.

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!
We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.
