Story
I have had her for 14 years and am heartbroken to give her away. I'm 23 and and my grandma got a bunch of cats before I was 13 and we are very poor now and cannot afford to even visit the vet. She has an itchy butt that I've been trying to use natural remedies for but she doesn't deserve to be uncomfortable. She's very heavy due to grandma overfeeding but she is such a sweet cat. Loves to play. I've been asking my grandma to do something about our cats fleas and she didn't do anything for6 months and she does not deserve the life she is living now at all. She is my baby but I'd rather her live a happy peaceful life even if it means being without me. Weare in waretown nj we can come to you

Story
Meet Hashbrown, a delicate kitten with light brown stripes that give her a unique charm. Though skittish and wary, she’s a gentle soul who prefers quiet spaces under beds or in cubby holes to relax. Hashbrown enjoys playing with toys but only on her own terms. She would thrive with a confident cat friend who can help her grow and learn. Loud noises and sudden movements can startle her, so a calm home with older children or adults is best. With patience and love, Hashbrown will blossom into a wonderful companion for the right adopter. Hashbrown is FIV/FeLV negative, up to date with vaccinations, flea-treated, dewormed, microchipped, and spayed. Her birthday is estimated to be around 3/14/2024. ##2090298##

Story
Meet Home Fry, a kitten with striking dark stripes and irresistibly soft fur. With medium to high energy, she loves to explore, bat toy mice, and chase wand toys. A real purr machine, Home Fry relaxes best as a lap and neck cuddler. She adores snuggling and playing with her sister, so a home with another playful cat would be ideal to help her burn off energy. Home Fry is friendly and loves people, making her the perfect addition to a loving family. Home Fry is FIV/FeLV negative, up to date with vaccinations, flea-treated, dewormed, microchipped, and spayed. Her birthday is estimated to be around 3/14/2024. ##2090288##

Story
Meet Admiral Ackbar, a kitten with a beautiful shiny black coat and striking amber eyes. Ackbar is a sweet and affectionate kitty, though initially timid. He takes social cues from his sister, Rey, and relies on her to feel secure. Once he trusts you, he'll enjoy playing with wand toys and getting his favorite butt scratches. He prefers to relax in his cat bed or under a blanket where he feels safest. Ackbar and Rey must be adopted together for his well-being. A calm, patient home with adults or older children is ideal for this lovable duo. Admiral Ackbar is FIV/FeLV negative, up to date with vaccinations, flea-treated, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. His birthday is estimated to be around 1/1/2024 ##2035878##
