Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Butler, Pennsylvania

Meet Ginger! This poor gal has had a tumultuous life - she came to TCR front declawed and with an ear tip. She was surrendered by her first owner, then returned by her second. The vet estimates her age to be around 8 years old. Ginger is a loving girl who wants nothing more than *just the right amount* of attention. She is talkative and expressive - she will let you know when she is lonely or craving attention and will have a whole conversation if you want. Ginger is a play hard nap hard kind of gal, so she will need you to run around with her a lot, then give her a nice spot to snooze in later. She shows her love by sleeping in bed next to you every night, and being a lap warmer in the colder months. She tends to get overstimulated when excited or stressed, so it's best to let her decide when to be petted! Unfortunately, she will sometimes swat or use her mouth to tell her people when she's had enough (probably because of the declawing.) We think that Ginger would do best in a home where her adopters are willing to be patient with her and provide affection, but not push her boundaries. Small children are not likely to be a good fit for her as they may not be able to pick up on the signs and signals of overstimulation in cats. Ginger would probably do well as the only kitty in the home, or with a more easygoing cat that likes to play. With a very careful introduction, she is currently living with another younger cat and doing well. A lot of her nibbling seems to be from wanting to play and not knowing how to express it, so having another cat has significantly reduced this. She is not currently being fostered with a dog, but briefly met one and seemed relatively unphased. She may be able to live with a calm pup, with proper introductions. Ginger is estimated to be about 8 years old. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Do you have a loving, patient home for a sweet older cat that knows exactly what she wants? Please apply today!

Oh, Fozzie! Fozzie came to us as a kitten with his littermates and mom when we were alerted to a notorious baby-makin' mama who oops! did it again. Fozzie is our longest TCR resident... and we (really) aren't sure why! Fozzie is the type of cat that most adopters ask about - once he warms up he is friendly, outgoing, playful, easy to handle, purry, good with other cats, good with kids... you name it! We think he could likely even get along with cat-friendly doggos, with proper introductions (although he has not yet met a dog here at TCR). Fozzie currently spends his days chilling in one of our foster rooms, lounging on the cat trees, playing hide and seek in a large cardboard box, and wresting with his foster kitty pals. He's usually one of the first kitties to come out to greet his foster mom when she enters the room, and he loves being petted and receiving attention. He especially also loves Churu treats. He can be a touch shy at first when he's encountering something new, but he usually gets over this pretty quickly - especially if he has some other outgoing cat friends around! We think that he will be a really amazing companion in his forever home! Fozzie is just over 2.5 years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. He has always been healthy while in our care, but he did have two littermates who were diagnosed with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) back in 2022. FIP can have a genetic component, which may make Fozzie more likely to be susceptible to the disease. We would encourage any adopters interested in Fozzie to be overly cautious and educate themselves on the signs and symptoms of the disease, and we are happy to discuss this further with anyone interested in adopting him. Are you interested in giving Fozzie the forever home he so very much deserves? Please apply today!

Sweet girl Gary came to TCR when she and 18 of her friends were trapped outside of a single residence. Although the kitties had a wonderful caretaker who was feeding and caring for them, the neighbors in the area disliked the cats and were devising cruel ways to get rid of them. Gary is still learning how to be brave in her foster home. She looks up to her other kitty friends and models after them, so a confident buddy in her forever home would likely help her feel more at ease. She'd be a great "cat for your cat" friend, especially while she is getting used to you! Once she is comfortable, Gary allows petting and *might* even enjoy it. We think she has the potential to be a really darling little companion, but her future adopters will have to put in some work to help her get there. Staring her out in one small room and spending time relaxing with her daily would be key. Like her friends, Gary hasn't been mean or aggressive - she's just a little scared (and who can blame her after what she's been through). Gary may be able to live with cat-savvy, older, respectful kiddos, but young children would likely be too much for her. None of the cats from this location have been fond of dogs, so no puppers, please! Gary is estimated to be about 4.5 years old. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. If you have room in your home and heart to help this sweet little kitty blossom, please apply today!

Sad-eyed-Salmon was trapped along with 18 of her friends on the property of a single residence in the North Hills. Although the kitties had a wonderful caretaker, the neighbors in the area were not fond of the cats and were not always being kind to them. Salmon is used to having a human caretaker - she and the other cats used to line the windowsills of the home of their feeder and wait for him to come out with their food. In foster care, Salmon has grown to really enjoy pets and affection, but she is still nervous. She really needs an adopter who is committed to going slow with her, starting her out in one small room, and giving her time to adjust. She has SUCH an expressive face - you can always tell when something is worrying her. Once she trusts you, Salmon is not difficult to pick up or handle, and she will lean in for pets and scratches. She likes them so much sometimes she will just flop over, hoping for more. Salmon has lived with (many) other cats in the past, and we think she would enjoy a friendly cat buddy in her forever home - with proper introductions of course. None of the kitties from this area seem to like dogs, so cat-only homes, please! We think that Salmon could do ok with older, respectful, cat-savvy kiddos who know to respect her space. Salmon is estimated to be about four years old. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Please consider giving this sweet girl a chance - we know there is an amazing cat in there just waiting for a chance to blossom.

Berlioz came to TCR as a kitten with several littermates, and he is more than ready to find his forever home! Berlioz has opened up wonderfully during his time in foster. While he was initially a bit timid, he is now very friendly with people and other cats alike. He will roll over and show his belly while stretching his paws whenever a new person enters the room. He also has the CUTEST NUB TAIL that he wags like a dog. Always looking for ways to entertain himself, he is very fond of carrying objects in his mouth and throwing them around, especially round, red ones (watch your tomatoes)! Berlioz enjoys playing with the resident cats at his foster home by running around and wrestling, as well as spending his time perched on top of chairs, cushions, and cat trees. Berlioz can be very expressive about how much he loves love! He would thrive best being adopted into a home with another friendly cat he can play with, as he can be a bit needy about "attention right meow, please". He has not yet met a dog during his time in foster, but may be able to adjust to a cat-savvy pup, with proper introductions. We also think that he would do well in a home with respectful kiddos. Berlioz is about 2.5 years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Berlioz has always been healthy while in our care, but he did have one littermate who was diagnosed with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) over a year ago. FIP can have a genetic component, which may make Berlioz more likely to be susceptible to the disease. We would encourage any adopters interested in Berlioz to be overly cautious and educate themselves on the signs and symptoms of the disease, and we are happy to discuss this further with anyone interested in adopting him. Please apply for this super unique and sweet boy today!

Michael has been in foster care for an entire year now! During this time, he has been reflecting and working on becoming the perfect cat for his new family. At 11 years old, Michael proves that you can teach an old *cat* new tricks. He came to us after his owner passed away. Originally an outdoor cat, Michael was brought inside a few years ago and much prefers indoor living! While he enjoys playing with toys and running around, his true loves are catnip and food. He also likes to lounge in a cozy cat bed and purr loudly, and now that he associates treats with humans, he enjoys following people around. Michael used to get easily overstimulated, but with patience and treats, he has learned to respect boundaries and walk away when needed. He has even started socializing with other friendly cats who respect his space. We believe Michael could make the perfect best friend for adults or a family with respectful, older kids! Michael is estimated to be about 11 years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Please apply for Michael today!

Mia is a very sweet, gentle cat who is wonderfully patient with children. She is extremely friendly and affectionate and would thrive in a home with someone who loves snuggling and companionship! She will even introduce herself to your guests, as she's very outgoing and likes to make new friends. Mia also has a good amount of energy, and loves to hunt for bugs, mice, and other critters. We got Mia from a shelter two years ago and have been blessed by her. Unfortunately, allergies have resurfaced for me that I thought were taken care of by shots when I was a child, and I am unable to keep her. She will be a gift to whoever can hang out with her, and should have a long, healthy life ahead of her! We do not know her exact age, but she seems youthful and energetic. She came to the shelter young, with a litter of kittens and a scratch on her eye. She does seem to lack sight in the injured eyed, but functions well without it, and seems unbothered!
