You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Meet Sophia.  This small Tuxedo lady with her white paws, a white chin and bib is a very confident kitty who won't let her siblings boss her around.   Maybe she had to learn at an early age to stand up for herself when she was abandoned with her mother and brothers in an old tumbled down shack.  She loves to play and investigate, chase her playmates and hide under chairs and then pounce on whoever comes by.  When she finally gets tired, Sophia likes to curl up close to her person and purr until she finally falls asleep. Could you be the person she is looking for?This kitty has been fully vetted and tested negative for Feleuk/FIV.  Sophia is being fostered in the Columbia area.  For more information, please contact rorrfeline@gmail.com.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:13 pm

Story
NAME: Squeaks BREED: DSH BIRTHDAY: July 2020 ADOPTION FEE: $75   Squeaks got his name by literally squeaking until he was rescued. Somehow the very tiny young guy found himself by the dumpster of a hotel in Gettysburg, along a busy roadway. He was all alone in the dark and the rain, but luckily started squeaking just as the director of our rescue was walking to her car after work. He squeaked by the dumpster and then ran to the utility shed and squeaked in there, never showing himself for a second. Finally he held still and squeaked long enough to get snatched up and driven home, where two foster kittens named Rhett and Link were waiting to welcome him into our rescue.   These three boys were adopted together, and grew up together in what we believed was their forever home. Sadly, when their human brother came along they found themselves in need of a new place to live: the new baby is allergic to cats. Now this trio is back in GOT, in a small room where they will have to wait for another family to take them in. This time they are not small kittens but big grown-up boys, and Squeaks especially is a chunker. We know they are less likely to get adopted now, but we are hoping that someone will come along who just wants a handsome young cat to cuddle, love, and play with. Our dream home would take all three boys together, but since Rhett and Squeaks are particularly bonded our goal is to keep them together if nothing else.   From the boys' former family: Squeaks is our beautiful brown striped boy. Have you ever met a cat that loves belly rubs? No? Good! Then Squeaks is your man, he will flop right in front of you and meow for belly rubs. He is a cuddle bug who loves the tops of chairs and couches to lounge in the sun. He also likes treats and being your right hand man in the kitchen! His favorite toys are anything with catnip and a little plush squirrel. He is a little chunky but don't let that fool you, he will jump in the air to get a dangling toy! He is microchipped, neutered, and fully vaccinated. October 28, 2024, 10:44 am

Hello! My name is Baloo. My estimated birthday is 3/25/2023.    I am a long- term resident of the rescue. I was born outside a in a large cat colony. I was just a baby, so I was brought in with two of my brothers, Mowgli and Akela who are also still available for adoption.  It does take me a little while to come out of my shell. I get along great with other cats and would do better in a multi cat house, although it's not required. I love to play with toes. I don't use my claws, but I may give you a gentle love bite every now and then. I am foster with: Medium sized dog Multiple Cats Harlow's Haven Cat Rescue is a non-profit organization the focus on saving the lives of at risk and homeless cats in our community.

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/cats/1174Hi, I'm Pumpernickel! You know, the bread? Well, that's me, full of flavor and a bit nutty. My journey to the shelter is quite the tale. One day, I was playing a game of 'chase the red dot'. I'm pretty sure I was winning, when suddenly, the dot disappeared! I looked everywhere. Under the couch, behind the TV, even in the fridge (don't ask). Next thing I knew, I was here. I'm still searching for that dot, but I've made friends with some cool cats and chilled-out dogs. I'm a mix of shy and playful, brave yet goofy. I've got energy to burn, but I can also be your quiet companion. I'm sweet, funny, and I promise to keep you entertained with my antics. So, if you're looking for a companion who's independent, but loves a good cuddle, I'm your girl. Adopt me and let's find that elusive red dot together!Click here and here to see Pumpernickel in foster care!

Story
Hello! My name is Ember. My estimated birthday is 4/28/2023. I am a sweet girl that was found outside. My finder was on longer able to keep me the bigger I got. I was turned over to the rescue to find me a good home. I love to sit in an open window and watch birds. I roll over for belly rubs and will then grab your hand and give love nibbles while you pet me. I like to play mom to all the kittens in my foster home. I love to play with mouse toys and I make the cutest chirping sounds. I am FIV positive. I do have raspatory flare ups which requires me to be on antibiotics from time to time. I did have a respiratory  panel and scope done of my nose. Everything is clear. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is one of the most common and consequential infectious diseases of cats around the world. In infected cats, FIV attacks the immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to many other infections. Though there is no cure for FIV, recent studies suggest that cats with FIV commonly live average life spans. Transmission for FIV is through bite wounds from an infected cat. Casual, non-aggressive contact, such as sharing water bowls or mutual grooming, does not appear to be an efficient route of spreading the virus. More information on FIV can be found at the link below.  Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) | Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine I am foster with: Medium sized dog Multiple Cats Harlow's Haven Cat Rescue is a non-profit organization the focus on saving the lives of at risk and homeless cats in our community.

Story
Baloo was raised from an infant (bottle-fed). He is a TALL, sturdy cat with an unusual black and white fur pattern. He lived with my daughter, two other cats, and a dog for the last couple of years. My daughter is no longer able to take care of them due to illness, so we are trying to find homes for all of the animals. Baloo lived with his cat mates who have found new homes, so he is a lonely boy. He has always been an inside cat. He is affectionate and likes people of all ages. He also LOVES to be brushed. He has always gotten along with other animals, but he and our male cat seem to butt heads. We need to find him a good home as soon as possible. He loves to play with springs, that tricky red light, and other toys. He's a large cat and loves to be held. He's good around children and my granddaughter adores him.
