Hi, I'm Apple Pie.
Apple Pie is a sweet girl who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. Now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the love she’s been waiting for. She can be a strong girl on the leash, but she enjoys getting out for walks and spending time with her people. We’re still getting to know who Apple Pie truly is, and each day her personality continues to shine a little more. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her past or home life was like. Her future family should be ready to give her patience and time as she learns to adjust to a new routine and environment.

Hi, I'm Bubbles.
Bubbles is an incredibly people-focused girl who bonds fast and wants to be right by your side—she loves to sleep cuddled up close, potties outside immediately, and eats great. After her initial excitement she settles nicely and truly shines with one-on-one time, forming a deep attachment to her person. She can become overstimulated and get a bit mouthy or hyper-fixated, so she’ll benefit from structure and positive training as she continues to learn. Bubbles would do best as the only pet (no cats or dogs) in a calm home where she can build confidence and routine. With patience and consistency, she has all the makings of an incredibly loyal, devoted companion.

Hi, I'm Kyrah.
Meet Kyrah! She’s the kind of cat who truly blossoms when she feels respected and understood. While she may take a little time to open up, once she does, you’ll discover just how affectionate and loving she can be. Soft pets, cozy cuddle sessions, and calm companionship are some of her favorite things.
Kyrah also values her independence. She enjoys having her own space to relax and recharge, making her a wonderful match for a family who appreciates a cat with a balanced personality. She’ll happily spend time near her people—but she also knows the importance of a good solo nap in a sunny spot.
Don’t let her calm nature fool you—Kyrah has a playful, energetic side too! When the mood strikes, she’s ready to chase a toy or show off her fun-loving spirit.
Kyrah would do best in a home without small children, where her boundaries will be respected and her unique personality celebrated. She’s looking for a patient, understanding family who will take the time to truly know her and love her just as she is.
Hi, I'm Bolt.
Bolt’s story started as a stray, and sadly no one came looking for him. But he hasn’t let that dim his sweet spirit one bit. This laid-back boy has been nothing but gentle and loving here at the shelter, and he’s more than ready to trade kennel life for a cozy couch of his own. Bolt is looking for a family who will not only shower him with the love he deserves but also help him on his weight-loss journey so he can feel his very best. With a little commitment, some daily walks, and portion control, this handsome guy is going to thrive. If you’re ready for a mellow, affectionate companion to share your home (and maybe your couch), Bolt is ready to meet you.

Hi, I'm Mascarpone.
Mascarpone is another cat we wish could tell us his story. Previously adopted from a rescue in Delaware, we think this young senior must’ve had an interesting life to end up stray in Pennsylvania. Mascarpone had been hanging around outside a neighborhood home for over a month, acting quite the sweetheart and clearly not belonging outside. With a nice medical touch-up, Mascarpone is ready to find a new forever home.
This laid-back boy loves the simple things in life: cozy naps, gentle pets, and curling up close for a cuddle. Mascarpone came to us as a stray, so we’re still getting to know his preferences when it comes to other animals and children. He has a surprising playful streak and seems to enjoy feather wands!
If you’re looking for a mellow, loving cat to share your couch and your heart, Mascarpone might just be the perfect addition to your home.

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
