Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Crafton, Pennsylvania

Its hard to believe but Pepper arrived at our rescue FIVE YEARS AGO! She is the longest resident at Animal Advocates and all of the volunteers at the rescue would be overjoyed to see Pepper thriving in the loving home she deserves.  Pepper had been taken care of, along with a number of other cats, by a local rescuer until the time a house fire caused her to evacuate. Most of the cats in the group were brought to the rescue where they were eventually adopted. Pepper presented as the most challenging of the group as she was extremely wary of people at first. However, with patience and lots of positive reinforcement, Pepper has come a long way! The way to Pepper's spicy heart is through treats and playtime.  She will come out to play with wand toys and accepts treats and pets from her favorite volunteers. Pepper requires a home with experienced cat people who will show her love, consistency and accept her for the cat that she is. She has received yearly vet exams, is up-to-date on vaccinations, tested negative for FIV/Felv, spayed and microchipped. During her time at our rescue, Pepper has seen and interacted with many cats and seems to get along fine with all.  If you are interested in meeting Pepper, the first step is to complete an online application located at www.animaladvocates.net (under the "Adopt" menu). Our team is happy to discuss with approved applicants the possibility of a long-term foster placement for Pepper.  In a long-term foster placement the goal is to connect special animals with individuals in the community who are interest in caring for a pet.  The rescue will provide supply and vetting support as needed.  Thank you for considering a rescue cat from Animal Advocates!November 14, 2024, 2:43 pm

This young lady was seen scrounging food from a waste bin in a residential neighborhood with her kitten and pal Harvey. Neighbors alerted Animal Advocates' volunteers who set a trap and quickly rescued the little family. At first hesitant and wary of new environments, Peony is slowly learning people are safe and life indoors is easy living!  Peony will accept gentle pets from her favorite volunteers at the rescue.  She is slowly making progress, and we believe an experienced and patient caregiver will help Peony blossom into a lovely companion.  Peony enjoys siting on the the enclosed "catio" and hanging with the other felines at the rescue - especially her pal Harvey.  Peony protects and assures Harvey, and increasingly friendly Harvey helps spicy Peony realize that people aren't so bad! Peony is Harvey's very best friend - they cuddle together every night.  Peony has soft grey tabby fur and bright green eyes.  Her birthday is estimated in August 2021.  She has tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, vaccinated as well as spayed and microchipped. Peony will take time to adjust to any new situation.  An experienced and patient caregiver will be best, one who will accept Peony for the cat she is and help her feel safe and confident.   To meet Peony visit www.animaladvocates.net and complete an adoption application (located under the "Adopt" menu).   A discounted adoption fee is offered when considering bringing home two cats.  And, as a bonus, you get to watch Harvey and Peony snuggle and in an adorable cuddle pile.  Our team is happy to discuss with approved applicants the possibility of a long-term foster placement for Harvey and Peony.  In a long-term foster placement the goal is to connect special animals with individuals in the community who are interest in caring for a pet.  The rescue will provide supply and vetting support as needed.  Thank you for considering a rescue cat from Animal Advocates!November 16, 2024, 2:50 pm

Harvey comes to Animal Advocates after being rescued by local good samaritans who saw him hanging out in their neighborhood. At first hesitant and wary of people, Harvey has come a long way in his short time at the rescue.  Harvey has become quiet a ham - he LOVES catnip and any kind of treat (as the saying goes, the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach).  With a Churu or two, Harvey quickly warms up and gives head butts and seeks out pets from trusted caregivers at the rescue.  Harvey enjoys siting on the the enclosed "catio" and hanging with the other felines at the rescue - especially his pal Peony.  Peony protects and assures Harvey, and increasingly friendly Harvey helps spicy Peony realize that people aren't so bad!  Harvey has soft grey tabby fur with white around his face.  His birthday is estimated in August 2022.  Harvey has tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, vaccinated as well as neutered and microchipped. Harvey will take some time to adjust to any new situation so an experienced and patient, quiet home situation will be best.    To meet Harvey visit www.animaladvocates.net and complete an adoption application (located under the "Adopt" menu).   A discounted adoption fee is offered when considering bringing home two cats.  And, as a bonus, you get to watch Harvey and Peony snuggle and in an adorable cuddle pile.  Our team is happy to discuss with approved applicants the possibility of a long-term foster placement for Harvey and Peony.  In a long-term foster placement the goal is to connect special animals with individuals in the community who are interest in caring for a pet.  The rescue will provide supply and vetting support as needed.  Thank you for considering a rescue cat from Animal Advocates!November 16, 2024, 2:50 pm

Layla is looking for love.  Could it be you?  Layla is searching for a patient caregiver who will love and appreciate Layla for the cat she is.  While she can be hesitant around new people, Layla does respond when she is approached and loves her treats and head scratches. She is also a fan of canned food and basking in the sunshine and fresh air on the enclosed patio.  We imagine in a home Layla would enjoy sitting nearby in a windowsill or the top of couch while her family watches TV.  Layla had previously resided at a local business and kept the employees entertained with her feline antics. When the business was sold, Layla and her littermate found themselves at Animal Advocates.  Layla is comfortable around the other felines at the rescue.  She has not been observed around dogs or young children and would do best in a quiet home with experienced caregivers who will give her the time to get comfortable.   Layla is up-to-date on all vaccines, tested FIV/FeLV negative and has been spayed. Her birthday is approximately 10/2016.   If you think you could provide a home for Layla where she would be given the TLC she deserves, please visit www.animaladvocates.net and complete an adoption application.November 5, 2024, 1:48 pm

Meet Dino! At around 15 pounds with sleek black fur and golden eyes, Dino's looks are as remarkable as his stellar personality! Dino's family made the heartbreaking decision to help find a home that can provide him with outlets for all of his playful energy.  He lives comfortably with other cats at the rescue and previously resided with a senior citizen, with frequent visits to the household from younger family members. He is definitely very people oriented and will make his presence known, giving head butts and pawing at a leg or arm.  We believe Dino would do best at home with experienced cat caregivers who can provide him with lots of appropriate play to help him learn boundaries and maintain a healthy diet.  Soft beds, lots of wand toys and a person to love top Dino's wish list!  Dino's birthday is approximated in July 2020. He has tested negative for Felv/FIV, up-to-date on vaccinations, treated for fleas/dewormed as well as neutered and microchipped.  If you are interested in meeting a cat, the first step is to complete an online application located at www.animaladvocates.net (under the "Adopt" menu).

Ivy is one sweet, sleek tuxedo cat!   Ivy has big curious eyes and attentive ears.   She is cautious around new people, but some well-placed chin rubs and a treat or two will make you her newest best friend! Once comfortable, Ivy's playful, sweet personality really shines.  She can often be found chasing after a favorite mouse toy and snuggling in a cuddle-pile with other kittens in her foster home. The kittens' birthday is approximated in June 2024. All have tested negative for Felv/FIV, up-to-date on age/weight appropriate vaccinations and treated for fleas/dewormed. All remaining initial vetting, including follow up vaccinations, neuter/spay and microchip, will be covered by the rescue. If you are interested in meeting a cat, the first step is to complete an online application located at www.animaladvocates.net (under the "Adopt" menu).
