My story

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

Melvin came from a rough block in West Philly and was at risk of being used for bait for dog fighting! He was swept off the street in the nick of time with his buddy Sweetie (also up for adoption). Melvin is a great house guest but is still a bit weary of humans ~ he LOVES cats on the other hand and would be a great kitty companion, to his BFF Sweetie or any other cat! He has early onset kidney disease which just means that he needs a special diet and routine vet visits. He is slowly learning to trust humans but he prefers to watch from a distant, be in the same room with you, and send you sweet slow blinks while he rolls around with his favorite catnip toes or stares lovingly at his feline friends. He has great social skills and is so great with other kitties!

Melvin is curious, gentle, independent, playful, and quiet.

Melvin is an adult kitty and is neutered, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained.

Adoption fee: $100 (plus tax)

Additional adoption info

***Right now, all adoption fees are 50% off!!***

Cats under 1 year old: $150 + 8% sales tax = $162
Cats aged 1-10 years old: $100 + 8% sales tax = $108

* You must be 18 or older to adopt. If you’re under 18, you must have a parent or guardian submit an application on your behalf.
* All cats must be kept indoors. In special circumstances, we may waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis.
* We do not adopt to any home that will declaw an animal. Declawing is cruel and unnecessary.
* All cats/kittens must be spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
* Kittens under 6 months must be adopted in pairs or into a home with another active cat or cat-friendly dog.
* Your adoption fee helps to cover a small part of the costs of veterinary care. However, we strongly recommend that you take your new kitty to your vet for a check-up shortly after adopting to establish a relationship and a lifetime of regular check-ups and care.
