Story
“All I want to do is be with you” is Gary’s theme song.  It’s a bit hard to imagine that he was living outside without person of his own.  In his foster home all Gary wants is to be with his foster mom. He’s constantly by her side, always within arm’s reach for head scratches. While he tolerates other cats in the house it is clear that he’d be happiest as an only cat soaking up all the attention.  Sudden movements may startle him so best not to be with small children. Sociability: With People: Good with adults and older children familiar with cats. With Cats: OK with a proper introduction. With Dogs: Unknown. Questions? Email FCWillowgrove@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Farley! Notes from his foster, “Farley is super snuggly and loves being around people! I think he would be great with kids! He is great with dogs and cats (once warmed up). His comfort place is in a closet or under the bed. He doesn’t jump on counters or tables. He is vocal when he is ready to eat. He loves to be brushed. He would love a screened in porch (how tries to escape sometimes). He is overall a very curious, sweet boy. His ideal home would enjoy a nice semi laidback family. He’s very easy going but it will take him sometime.

Magic is an adorable black and white boy who just wants to be your best friend! One of the first things you’ll notice - he’s quite the talker! But don’t worry—it’s mostly just him politely asking for your attention. You'll also notice that Magic loves affection—he enjoys being pet all over, happily snuggles up in your arms, and can even be held like a baby. While he clearly had a home at one time, it’s fortunate that his time living on the street in Norristown didn't alter his sweet, affectionate personality. At about 2 years of age he also has a playful, curious energy. Magic enjoys fluffy toys and will happily chase anything you toss his way. He will make an excellent addition to any household!  Sociability: With People: Likely a good fit with respectful children given his sweet and social nature. With Cats: Seems to do OK around with other friendly felines. With Dogs: Unknown. Come meet Magic at our Willow Grove Shelter! Questions? Email FCWillowgrove@gmail.com.

Meet Nina, a stunning grey and white gal who is noticeably outgoing and curious! Though she came to us from the streets of Philadelphia after having at least one litter, she still has the energy and playfulness of a kitten herself! Nina also enjoys exploring and being in the middle of the action. She likes pets all over and will tolerate being held, but she may cut a cuddle session short to sniff around or pounce on a toy. She’s playful and inquisitive and would thrive in a home that appreciates her confident personality! Sociability: With People: Given her gentle nature, she may do well with respectful older children. With Cats: She seems to enjoy being the boss and may do well with mellow, easygoing cats who are fine letting her take the lead. With Dogs: Unknown. Come meet Nina at our Willow Grove Shelter!
