Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Bradford, Pennsylvania

One SMART Kitty!Floyd was born about November 9, 2010 and weighs about 15 lbs.  This big kitty is a very smart boy and appeared here winter of 2017.  It seems he found the cat door in the front of the garage, wandered around in the garage long enough to find the cat door into the cellar where there is an endless supply of kitty food, fresh water and a rather consistent temperature of about 60 degrees.  So, winter of 2017 he terrorized the staff and the dogs that visit the cellar now and then to try to find 'treats' that the other rather feral cats, who live inside (cellar)/outside leave for them.  He was fine with the other cats, but the dogs weren't allowed to come up the steps after they got down!   No humans were allowed to touch him and if you reached for something in the shelves where he was lurking you'd get a good swat on your hand that goes 'THUD'!   Then summer came and he was gone.  The cellar was much more accessible to all of us, but we must admit we missed him a bit and hoped he was ok.  Then came winter of 2018 and the snow and cold hit early - Floyd was back!   He looked a little rough, but it didn't take long for him to regain his shiny fur and eyes.  And much to our surprise he was just a teensy bit friendlier and seemed to be taunting 'Cat Man Drew' by rubbing on his legs, yet swatting his hand if it came close.  OK...now is the time to neuter this boy!   'Cat Man Drew' grabbed him with some big gloves and into a crate he went!!!    Then off to see Dr. Rasey to get the deed done!  He recovered a few days in a crate and then was cautiously set free in the cellar looking rather indignant!  Perhaps he's mellowed a bit and we don't know if he'll be leaving again this summer, but if he does he may find his summer activities dampened just a bit if you know what I mean.    : )   We understand it is unlikely anyone will want to adopt Floyd, but we thought it was fun to tell his story and hope you enjoyed reading about him.  We've deemed Floyd a sanctuary pet and he is considered 'un-adoptable'. Joyful Rescues remains committed to our Sanctuary Dogs and Cats. They will stay with us for their natural lives and we will care for and love them. We will be their forever family. We wish we could do it alone but we need your help. We are looking for people who can help us with Floyds care. Please click the link below and donate.

Izzy was born about October 3, 2020 would be our guess by looking at her teeth - they look great!  However, we were told by a neighbor that she may be 4-5 years old and judging by her belly fat that is probably the case.  The story goes that a woman passed away suddenly in September of 2021 leaving her young adult son alone in the city of Buffalo rented home with the two cats.  Then a girlfriend moved in and then they both moved out summer of 2022 leaving the cats behind.  What good kitties as they continued to use the litter box that was becoming quite full by the time the owner of the home visited and was so kind.....that he opened a window so the cats would escape - but they didn't so then they were tossed out on the street!  Then comes along a kind neighbor who contacts one of Joyful's very dedicated volunteers and thankfully we had room to take these kitties in quickly.  Thank you, Renee!  Renee fostered them for a few days before coming here and said she did well with her other cats and her small dogs.  Izzy was comfortable enough in the transfer that she was rubbing her head against Renee's fingers through the crate.   The adoption fee for this kitty is $100.00.

Paige was born around August 04, 2023, and should be an average sized kitty when fully grown. FROM THE FOSTER MOM:  Piper is a fun-loving kitten. She is such a people-oriented kitten. She will run up to you and lay in your lap. She loves to lay with the dogs as well. She is not afraid of anything. She has a strong personality which I love. She loves to be held. She has the most fun playing with her sisters. She is the tougher one who always starts the play. She will be the first kitten to greet me when I come home. She rubs up against your leg for attention. If you don't, she will nibble on your shoes. She loves to play with the toys and chase her sisters around. She will nap on the couch on the soft blanket or with one of her sisters. She lives with other cats and dogs and is absolutely fine with them.  Once you meet Piper you will be charmed right away. I had the pleasure of fostering her for a couple of months and just adore her.      A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime.
