Story
Dexter is an all black American Short hair male who loves to play. He's 5 months old and has greenish amber eyes. He loves treats and canned wet food. Whoever feeds him is his best friend. He loves to be a lap cat as well. All around good boy. The reason I'm wanting to rehome him is because of my allergies. They are getting worse and I can't seem to find allergy medication that works anymore. He's house trained which is easy for cats. He's just been to the vet and all his shots are up to date. We're located in Mcsherrystown pa.

Story
Zosa is an 8 year old, tuxedo domestic short hair. She was born a barn cat and rescued by my cousin, who I adopted her from. We've been together since then! She is VERY playful; her favorite toys are: laser pointers, tunnels, and boxes. She can also be super cuddly, when she wants to be. Zosa may take awhile to warm up to new people, since she's shy and is used to being the only fur baby in the house. She has never lived with dogs, other cats, or children, so it's unknown if she would get along with them. She likes being the center of attention and would do well as an only pet. After you earn her trust, you won't be able to get her off of you - she's a stage 5 clinger. I'd love to keep her, but changes in my life have made it hard for me to give her the constant attention and care she deserves. I want to find a new family for her that will be able to do so. Zosa has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines, is not microchipped, and still has her claws (which can be trimmed at the vet).

Story
Birthday: September 7, 2019 If you want to talk about a kitty-lover, no human alive can even come close when you compare them to Kandy!  This girl is a cat girl!  She always has been even when she was a stray!  Kandy was rescued when she was about a year old while she was wandering around Harrisburg during the summer of 2020.  Little did her rescuers know that they didn't just rescue one kitty; they rescued 4!  That's right!  Little Kandy was pregnant with kittens!  Thankfully, they were delivered safely to the delight of their mother.  She was incredibly attentive mama who didn't let them out of her sight!  Once they were all adopted, Skitzer decided it was her turn to find a family! It wasn't easy initially!  The poor girl was very skittish around humans initially.  It took about a year for her foster parents to show her that humans aren't all scary!  Once she became used to them, she began to show them a bit of love too!  It went from hiding behind furniture to being held like a baby!  Maybe not for the longest periods, but she loved every second of it!  She'll only blossom more if she finds a home with people who are interested in socializing her and make her feel safe! However, NOTHING compares to her love for her brethren!  She somehow managed to develop a friendship with other kitties in her foster home though mutual grooming and cuddling!  She may even warm up in her future family home if they have a kitty buddy for her!  Don't worry though!  She's one of the most passive cats you've ever see, and if there is already a "top dog" in the house, she will be submissive towards them. Special kitties and the people who love them deserve special treatment. That’s why Kandy has a watercolor portrait which will be given as our gift to the special person who adopts her.  Kandy’s adoption donation is $115 which includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing (negative) , spay and microchip.  If you would like more information on Kandy, please contact Jamie at lovingcarecatrescue@gmail.com. If you would like to fill out an online application, please visit https://alovingcarecatrescue.org/adoptionapplicationonline.html Please note:  LCCR does not allow our adopted cats and kittens to be declawed.  All adopted kitties are to be kept as indoor-only pets.If you are interested in adopting this kitty, please fill out the online application at https://alovingcarecatrescue.org/adoptionapplication.html November 5, 2024, 7:23 pm

Story
Birthday: October 19, 2018 Special kitties and the people who love them deserve special treatment. That’s why Laurel has a watercolor portrait which will be given as our gift to the special person who adopts her. Laurel is sitting up high on her laurels!  This one-of-a-kind girl loves to tell you about her day and a story or two!  She's always striving to find new things to investigate just so she can tell you about it!  Always yearning for knowledge, this intelligent little lady will always wonder what's going on in the world!  Through her adventures, she's discovered the wonders of ping pong balls!  You can throw one around the house, and she will run after it like she was a cop chasing a jailbreaker!  She's climbing to the high peaks in her foster home and plays like she's a young kitten! Laurel will strike up a conversation with anyone!  It can be a person or another animal!  She doesn't mind calm, respectful puppy dogs; she also respects smaller animals, including rabbits and guinea pigs!  Initially, we thought that whenever she looked at the window and saw birds, she would talk to them as if they were buddies.  Little did we know that she was actually telling them off!  We guess she isn't much of a bird lover!  Though she is a social butterfly, Laurel wishes that her new home doesn't have any young children.  Plus, she wants to be the only cat in her household!  She's become a little "Regina" in her feline social circle, and we don't want any bullying to happen! Laurel is an incredibly active kitty!  It's hard to believe that this girl has diabetes!  She's currently under a special diet and given insulin twice a day to manage it!  If we weren't the ones administering it, we'd wouldn't have ever guessed!  We are starting to think she's too sweet for her own good!  Sure, she has an active side, but she also has a loving side!  She'll follow you around the house and stay close by your side.  She can't stand the thought of you being lonely!  In fact, she'd sit on your lap all day if you let her! Laurel's adoption donation is $50 which includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchip, and spay. If you would like more information on Laurel, please contact Jessica at lovingcarecatrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Birthday: July 8, 2020 We have a Mocha for you that is the perfect blend of all personality traits!  She has that mixture of sweet and sassy that just hits home differently from other kitties!  She gives class a whole new meaning, and her looks only accentuate this personality!  With a big personality like hers, she would be perfect as an only kitty.  However, she's willing to have another kitty sibling as long as they are accepting of her. As long as you respect her needs, she'll respect yours in return!  She's amicable like that, and she grows a deeper connection with her humans when they do.  Whenever someone disrespected her boundaries (i.e. pick her up or pull her out of her hiding place), she would defend herself by biting them.   As long as you can follow these two rules of hers, Mocha would be the partner you'd never thought you needed! Sweetness is only as good as you put into someone, and Mocha is chock full of it!  Once she gets used to you, she will shine through like you've never seen her previously.  She loves attention, and she will do anything to get some pettings!  She loves to love, and it definitely shows!  When Mocha first arrived at her foster's home, she was a scared and stressed little kitty.  By the time her foster got through to her, she became the most loving and relaxed kitty!  It was a complete 180 degrees!  One of the ways to break through the ice with her is to have soft ball toys for her!  We can assure you that she'd be anything but relaxed!  It's like she saw a soccer ball and turned into an athlete!  Give her some love, and she'll show you some tricks! Mocha's adoption donation is $115 which includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchip and spay. If you would like more information on Mocha, please contact Judy at 717 624 3538 or  lovingcarecatrescue@gmail.com.
