Kittens and cats in Beacon, New York

Eddye is a fantastic, very affectionate cat. He's a big boy at 16 lbs, and tall. He desperately needs someone to love, and be loved by. A quiet home with a large, mothering dog is best suited as he can be quite pushy when he rubs against another animal, but needs that assurance from a steady, calm animal. He enjoys the safety of an outdoor enclosure where he greets passersby and where he can be away from the cats in the house. He loves dogs, but gets overwhelmed by other cats. He still kneads the bread, so to speak, and I find him often times trying to snuggle with my dog. He can get anxious when around too many other cats or stimulus. With the exception of one cat... his love Truffle. Truffle has her own special needs as she never quite got used to humans. She's lived in foster for 4 years and is completely in love with Eddye. On the occation when Eddye has vet appointments she searches for him until his return. Their's is truly a partnership and they should not be separated. Truffle is house trained and is quite comfortable living inside with option to go out (in an enclosure). He is extremely routine oriented; this helps keep him calm and comfortable. Eddye will be best suited with a home where he can get LOTS of individual attention. He is a bit anxious, and needs calm, loving companionship. He takes a long time to adjust to new things, so a stable, consistent home is especially important here. Eddye is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, he has been dewormed and deflead. He has tested negative for FIV/FeL and heart worm. All of which is included for the adoption donation of $125. He was born on the Ides of March, 2012 in Beacon, NY and closes the loop as the last generation coming from his colony. His special needs consist of simply keeping a steady environment and schedule, and offering him your love and attention. His interesting face is so unique that he captures the attention of anyone looking at him. Have you ever seen such eyes? He is truly special. He is vetted, and waiting for his forever family to meet him and fall in love. If you'd like to meet Eddye, please complete our application and we will contact you for an appointment.

Truffle is a gorgeous girl that has never quite gotten used to humans. She was caught outside in a very large colony when she was about 6 weeks or so. She is polite and very well mannered, but doesn't allow her fosters to touch her. She loves to watch TV! She'll also watch Youtube videos for cats. She seems to get picked on by other cats but she is completely in love with Eddye, who is an incredibly social, loving and fairly "simple" cat - he's obsessed with foster mom. Truffle follows Eddye around, flirts and inspects him after foster mom has pet him to make sure he's still him. She watches over Eddye almost constantly. She does best in her own space with Eddye which is provided for them with a cat door leading to an enclosed outdoor area. She really loves spending time outside. Truffle is quite curious, and even nosy! She will watch from a few feet away, she loves to play, and will swat at string toys and balls that you throw to her. She gets along with other animals as long as the other animals are not overbearing. We are seeking a very specific placement for Truffle and Eddye together. She's a beautiful calico/tortoiseshell and he is a handsome black and white cat. Do you have room in your heart and home for this special needs pair? All adoption fees will be waved to give this lovely pair a chance. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, has her rabies shot, and she tested negative for FeL/FIV. Please complete the adoption application to be considered for adopting Truffle  July 5, 2024, 6:32 pm

This full of personality guy is looking to retire. He was part of a TNR project in Poughkeepsie NY, returned, and captured again 2 weeks later. He had a wound on his back paw that healed very nicely, and in that healing time his charming personality came shining through! He's fairly demanding for treats, attention, food, attention. HE IS A LAP LOVE!! If you are looking for a companion in your quiet home - he's your guy. We have nicknamed him Mr McSweetie. He's a motor boat and a perfect lap cat at nearly 17 pounds. Gangsta will keep you nice and toasty! Experience with cats is a must. He can be pretty assertive and not for the faint at heart. We love this guy and know his match is out there! Our required adoption donation is $150 per kitten or $125 per cat (older than 9 months). All our rescues are up to date on shots, microchipped, tested for FIV/FeL - Gangsta is FIV+.

Ariel is a gentle soul with people, and an athlete when chasing her toys! She's a sweet little gal that loves to play, and then snuggle for a nap. She would do well in a moderately quiet home so she can be doted on as a loyal companion. She is good with other cats, but would do well as a lone fur baby as she enjoys focused attention from her people. We estimate her birthday to be May 27, 2021. Ariel and her family were rescued from the City of Poughkeepsie, NY.  Our required adoption donation is $150 per kitten or $125 per cat (older than 9 months). All our rescues are up to date on shots, microchipped, tested for FIV/FeLV/Heartworm. They are dewormed, treated for parasites and free of fleas. Each is spayed or neutered and given a rabies vaccination.  An application must be completed to be considered to adopt from Stray HELP. You can download it from HERE OR directly ONLINE If your application is approved we conduct a home visit for final approval of adoption.

Stanley is as sweet as he is adorable. He is inquisitive and playful. He tends to be a follower, so placement with a cat that can show him the ropes would be best. Stanley was born with a thyroid issue, and takes medicine to control it. We estimate Stanley's birth date to be 03/05/21. Our required adoption donation is $150 per kitten or $125 per cat (older than 9 months). All our rescues are up to date on shots, microchipped, tested for FIV/FeLV/Heartworm.

Kennedy is a sweet boy - just like the orange tabbies many of us love so much. He is gentle and loving, albeit still shy. He enjoys being pet and cuddled and he loves being bribed with treats!  Kennedy would be a good fit for a fairly quiet home and a loving family who spends lots of time loving and doting on him. He gets along well with other cats. Kennedy spent the first few months in rescue recovering from some of the health issues he endured due to the hoarding situation he was in.  A neighbor alerted us to a large group of cats that he was seeing come and go from a house whose occupant had recently been evicted. The house was left in shambles, filled with cages and carriers and the cats were left to fend for themselves. Many of the cats had parasites and umbilical hernias - that have all been addressed. Kennedy even got dental surgery! Now, they are looking for a loving home where they can live out their lives the way they should - comfortable and safe. We estimate Kennedy to be approximately four to five years old. Our required adoption donation is $150 per kitten or $125 per cat (older than 9 months). All our rescues are up to date on shots, microchipped, tested for FIV/FeLV/Heartworm. They are dewormed, treated for parasites and free of fleas. Each is spayed or neutered and given a rabies vaccination.  An application must be completed to be considered to adopt from Stray HELP.
