Story
Butter is an adorable sweetie of a kitten who was born outside and lived on the Philly streets until she was 4 months old. Now 6 months old, she's adjusting well to the cozy comforts of indoor living and beginning to trust and enjoy being around human company. She has the most gentle nature and never gets aggressive, though she can be a bit timid. Butter will need someone who can give her the time, patience, and consistency she needs to feel safe and continue blossoming into the awesome pet kitty she is becoming.   Butter is a champ at using her litter box, loves her churu, and has some of the funniest fully-sprawled sleep positions her foster has ever seen. She LOVES to play with toys, especially enjoying chasing balls and small catnip toys, and she'll go after wand toys until her foster's arm gets tired out! She’s super fun to play with and makes the cutest little trilling meows when she gets excited. She has also started to realize the greatness of head and butt skritches (on her terms, of course) and purrs loudly to share how good they feel!   Butter needs a human who will help her feel safe in her new home so she can continue on her path of learning to trust, love, and be loved. Play & patience, treats & time are truly the keys to this little cutie's heart. Will your heart melt for this li'l pat o' Butter?   Other cats: Butter has had very limited exposure to other cats and did not show much interest when meeting them in the past, but her foster believes this may have been due to overwhelm. It’s possible that Butter could do well with a very gradual introduction to a calm adult cat, but we just don’t know. This is something that can be discussed further if you have questions.   Children: Butter hasn’t been around kids, and her foster thinks that young, rambunctious kids would be overwhelming and frightening to her. However, tweens and teens who understand the need to be gentle and calm with her could be a good fit, especially if they want a kitty who likes to play!     How I came to Kittensnatchers: trapped at an established cat colony **If you are applying for a cat that needs a cat friend and you do not have another cat in the home or plan to adopt 2 cats, you application will not be processed** If you're interested in adopting this furrbaby, please fill out an application at https://forms.gle/2vMCSwUWQKVepqir5 All our animals are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story
Butter here. Little secret, if I was a human I would be called a "cougar." Seems I really like having youngish feline eye candy around. They make me giggle in my own cat way. I currently share my space with one or two adorable young adult boys. They show me respect. I allow them to amuse me. And foster mom has commented that in general, I seem happier than I was before they arrived. I have been hanging out with my foster mom for a few months. It took her a while to figure out the secret life of this cat (see the previous comment about being a "cougar"). Also, she has learned that when I approach, she needs to put her hand out for me to decide if I want to be pet or not. Spoiler: I usually do, but I would like you to start with my shoulders. Still figuring out laps and being held, but if you would like a sophisticated cat to help you manage a couple of young boy cats, you just need some Butter! Butter is about 11 years old, spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and is litter box trained. Adoption fee: $75 (plus tax) (Adopt 2 cats and save $25 off the total adoption fee!)

Story
Petunia is a very loving cat who had a rough start to life. She enjoys playing with toys and snuggling and has youthful energy and curiosity, while also enjoying a nice nap in a patch of sunlight. She is blossoming and thriving indoors and loves people. She’s a wonderful pet but would be happiest as your one and only. In turn, she has so much love to give. She’s a smart girl and learned to sit for treats too! Petunia would prefer to be the only cat in the family and can live with older kids. Petunia Market is around 1-3 years old and is spayed, FeLV negative, FIV positive, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained. She is Affectionate, Brave, Cuddly, Curious, Playful, and Smart. Adoption fee: $100 (plus tax)

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!

Story
Sweet Potato is a social and cool tabico cat who was found on the streets of West Philly. When she was first brought to Project MEOW, she had a rash that later spread throughout her entire body. Turns out, she's allergic to so many things (dust mites, fleas, EUCALYPTUS) and she requires a little bit of extra attention. After a few rounds of medication, she's doing so much better but can still flare up from time to time. Sweet Potato prefers to love from a distance - she'll follow you around from room to room but isn't much of a cuddler. She'll approach you when she wants a little love but prefers to act as a companion. She's not very vocal, happier expressing her needs through body language and long stares. She's super aware of her body - she's not the type to jump on counters or knock over objects. Still a young cat, her favorite toy is a wand, she can run around the home chasing it but is smart enough to understand that it's her human that's behind the toy. She's very independent, but likely best suited in a house without young children, as she's doesn't not appreciate being touched without her consent. Sweet Potato is about 3 years old and she is spayed, 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!)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cindy was found by a person when her house burnt down and her owner died. Cindy was staying inside the burnt house and coming out to find food when someone spotted her and started to feed her. She was feeding her for 3 months but called Four the Paws when the weather started to get cold. Cindy went to a foster home where she was warm and had blankets to lay on. Cindy is a bit chubby because she loves to eat food and her chicken snacks. She is really laid back and doesn't play much but loves to lay on her thick blankets and walk around to see what is going on or to look out the window. We think it will be best if she is an only cat in the household she really doesn't like the other fosters and will hiss at them when she is walking by them. She loves to be petted on her head and will purr up a storm. Cindy was already spayed, received her 1st FVRCP vaccine, dewormed, received flea medication, and tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV. Please consider giving this girl a new home where she can be loved. To adopt Cindy, please complete the online application at www.fourthepaws.org. Cindy's adoption fee is $130.00.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 6:43 pm
