Story
Head and chin rubs, please!!!  Meet Coral, my beautiful tabico foster.  Coral came to me after having her left leg amputated, to gain her confidence living without a leg. Coral has come such a long way. Having her leg amputated has not slowed her down at all. She jumps, runs, plays without issue. Coral loves: food and treats, soft toys she can easily grab and cat nip. To see her growth and love grow over the last 3 months has been amazing. She went from a cat that did not really interact with me to jumping and running to me when I walk in her room. She lights up and meows at me until I pet her. Coral loves being having her head and chin rubbed as she sits there purring away.  To her future adopter: Please be patient with Coral as she adjusts to her new surroundings. She was very reserved at first, but within a month, she was playing, laying on the couch with me and loving life. Coral also loves her own space and laying in windows. She may enjoy being an only cat; however, Coral has been introduced to resident cats. She is unsure at times but only hisses, but with time and patience, I believe she would adjust perfectly fine with another laid back cat that gives her space. She does okay with my one resident cat that comes into her area. That’s because he just wants to be in the space and doesn’t bother her. She is a girl who just loves her humans and cuddling.  Coral is playing with her foster family.  Please ask to meet her and have some playtime!  Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank you!  (Foster:  Joanna S.)  November 7, 2024, 5:25 pm

Story
Hi, My name is Penny. I am a young female Tabico, about 7 months old (as of mid-September) I am small in size, but love adventure. I like to climb and jump. I enjoy sunny windowsills. It may take me a bit to warm up to you, but I promise I will be devoted and loving. I think I should be an only cat, but would love to be adopted with one of my kittens. I have been staying with my Foster family and their pets. I am cautious around small dogs. I don’t think I enjoy the company of their big dog. Penny's kittens have been adopted.  She would love to find her forever family, too.  She is playing with her foster family until then.  Please submit our no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .  Thank you!  (Foster: Kelly M).   November 6, 2024, 4:07 pm

Story
Dog- and Cat-Friendly!!  Bonded Sisters!!  Hi!  My name is Chloe.  My foster says I am a sweetie.  I love to be brushed and to have my back and neck scratched.  I like attention so much that if you try to pet my sister Zoey, I'll wedge myself under your hand so you'll pet me, too. My foster had a small dog, so I am comfortable around other cats and dogs, but I have not had many encounters with children.   One of the volunteers comments, 'Zoey usually likes to nap or sit quietly and watch the world.  Chloe will come out and play with the volunteers, but she doesn't put on a show.' The lovely sketch of Chloe and Zoey was done by local artist Ellen Chandler, a gift to the adopter. Chloe and Zoey are about 5 months old as of Nov. 23 and need to be adopted together.  Zoey seems comfortable only if she knows Chloe is near.  They are playing in our West Chester PetSmart adoption center.  Please stop in for a visit!  Please submit our no-obligation adoption application: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .  Thank you!  (Foster:  Rosie W.)    December 1, 2024, 6:41 am

This beautiful girl is Bandit. Check out her amazing calico coloring and wide white stripe from her forehead to her tummy. Such a stunner! Bandit is affectionate and friendly, even with new people.

Please check out her video:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v4PBpPkt-Wg . Bandit would love to have a home of her own.  If interested in meeting her, please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering.  Here is the link to our Foster Application:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer)December 21, 2024, 2:14 pm

Crystal and a bunch of other cats were living in an alleyway in a not so good part of town. They were multiplying out of control and being threatened by some non cat loving people. We were asked to help, and when we went out there were a lot more than we thought but we did the best we could to try to get as many as we could. Surprisingly enough they were all pretty friendly and very sweet. They now all are spayed or neutered, vaccinated for fvrcp and rabies, flea and worm treated and tested negative for leukemia and AIDS. Now they are looking for new permanent, inside homes. If you are interested in Crystal or any of our other castaway cats please fill out our application at castawaycatsde.com

Olive is a beautiful 1-year-old calico ex-stray, ready to live the good life indoors with a doting family. She was found outdoors with a litter of bouncy little babies and has been a wonderful mama, but this young girl is ready to leave a life of responsibility behind and get all the love in her forever home. Olive regularly solicits attention and loves to be pet and hugged and cuddled. She appears to be both cat and dog friendly (with slow intros) and is a great candidate for a home with kids, given her docile and tolerant nature. She has a playful streak, too! Adopt our girl and get "olive" the love you could ever want. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped and FIV/FelV tested negative. Her adoption fee is $150.

Story
Full disclosure: Bonnie the Beauty scores off the charts in sass. She is the ghost pepper of spiciness. The brings-tears-to-your-eyes at the Wing Bowl kind of spicy. When she arrived to her foster home, she spent the first week voicing her displeasure about everything. Except catnip - she is a sucker for catnip! It took a few weeks for her to settle in and now she rules the house. She is the best neighborhood watch anyone could ask for, and she truly is a beauty! Bonnie needs a home with someone who has the patience to let her call the shots. Someone who will give her the time she needs to claim her throne and makes things just to her liking. With a little time and love, we wouldn't be shocked to hear that her spice has leveled out and that she really needed was a home of her own where she could feel safe and loved. Bonnie is living with other cats now and as long as they don't bother her, she lets them be. She loves snack time and soft pillows. She would love a cat tree and a good scratching post. And buckets of catnip! Bonnie the Beauty is 4-5 years old and is spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained. Adoption fee: $0. One of volunteers loves Bonnie has decided to sponsor her adoption fee!

Jacinda Frasier is a very loving and gentle calico. She is very laid back but on occasion she will run around the bed and kick her legs around for fun. She is simply the most loving cat you will ever meet. If you are asleep laying on your stomach, she will lay on your back. If you are asleep on your back, she will lay on your chest and rub her head on your face! As long as you have a sunny window sill, wet food, and hand to pet her, she will be quite content! Jacinda was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and is doing quite well on her medicine, which is fairly cheap and needs to be given once a day. Jacinda can live with other cats and kids. In fact, she and her pervious human foster siblings had quite a sweet relationship! Jacinda is around 7-8 years old and is spayed, front declawed, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained. Adoption fee: $100 (plus tax) (Adopt 2 cats and save $25 off the total adoption fee!)

In addition to her loving personality, Elmira is quite the laid-back lady, often enjoying a nice afternoon nap or some snacks. Elmira is fairly tolerant of being handled, held, and snuggled. She will use her big girl voice paired with a love tap to let you know if you've crossed her boundaries too far, though this is rare. She has so much life left in her, begging to find her forever home. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

ABOUT RUSTY This handsome man is a 4-year-old tuxedo. Rusty came to us from another shelter partner, when they no longer had space to keep him. He is very outgoing and quickly became a volunteer favorite! Every morning, he greets our staff with a big meow and adorable kitty eyes. Our cattery team thinks he knows how to make them feel guilty, with one sad look, they have no choice but to sit with him for some snuggles. This affectionate boy is sure to rub against your leg or curl up in your lap. Despite being a lover, Rusty has his limits and is sure to give you a light tap or nibble to let you know he's had enough. He loves to tell you how he's feeling and what he wants. Rusty enjoys spending his days soaking up some sun and leaning into you for head scratches! **This cat has tested positive for FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Many cats with FIV can live a long and happy lifespan if kept indoors and given routine veterinary care. FIV is not contagious to people or animals other than cats. *To help Rusty find his forever home, a generous donor has sponsored his adoption fee!

ABOUT RONITAS Meet our handsome black and white kitty, Ronitas! He came to HAP when he was found as a stray. We attempted to find his owners, but sadly no one came looking for him. Our vet estimates he is about 5 years old and has previously lived in a home, based on his demeanor. Ronitas has a tough exterior and may act like a big boy at times, but spend a few moments with him and he is a sweet man. Ronitas loves to play and chase after wand toys. He often behaves more like a dog than a cat, preferring to tackle and wrestle with any toy that crosses his path. Once he's released some playful energy, he shows off his affectionate side. He enjoys petting and neck scratches. While he can be picked up, he's not a fan of being carried around or held for long periods. Ronitas can be too rough for most other cats, so a home as your only kitty would be best! If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!
