Hi, I'm Xylophone.
Controversially single-bearded, Xylophone is a Lionhead mix without much mane! It’s more of a Mohawk, really. Xylophone was found stray but surely loved as he has adjusted to shelter life without issue. He was described as sweet by volunteers and will come over and put his paws up on your legs while checking you out. Xylophone is interested in his toys and will happily munch away on a variety of snacks. Though he has not perfected the art of his litter box yet, Xylophone is quite neat and prefers to keep his business organized.
Due to his backstory, we don’t know how Xylophone feels about living with children or other animals. Please note that Xylophone is not neutered and would be recommended to be neutered prior to introducing to other rabbits, even if they are altered. We think Xylophone would adjust quickly at home and continue to open up into a loving companion—in the bunny way, of course.
Hi, I'm Pashmina.
Pashmina is as soft and comforting as her name suggests. This sweet girl has a gentle spirit, a loving heart, and a quiet charm that wins people over quickly. Whether she’s curled up in a cozy sunbeam, watching the world from a windowsill, or snuggling beside her favorite human, Pashmina is happiest when she’s sharing her calm, affectionate presence.
She enjoys gentle pets, cozy naps, and the simple pleasures of indoor life. Pashmina has a graceful, easygoing personality that makes her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal feline friend. She may be a little reserved when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines through.
Pashmina is ready to find a forever home where she’ll be cherished and loved. If you’re looking for a sweet, elegant companion to fill your days with purrs and comfort, Pashmina may be the perfect match.
Hi, I'm Larry.
🧡 Meet Larry 🧡
Larry is an orange tabby with a sunny personality to match! This sweet little guy loves being part of the action, whether he’s playing with his furry friends, exploring the house, or finding the perfect sunny window to watch the world go by. One of his favorite pastimes is sitting at the window, chirping excitedly at birds and squirrels as they pass.
Raised in a foster home with children, cats, and dogs, Larry has grown into a confident, well-socialized kitten who enjoys the company of just about everyone. He’s affectionate, curious, and always ready to make a new friend, whether they have two legs or four. His easygoing nature makes him a wonderful fit for a variety of families.
Larry would thrive in a home with another playful animal companion to wrestle, explore, and nap alongside. While he and his foster friend Donna aren’t a bonded pair, they certainly enjoy each other’s company and would love to be adopted together—or each join a home with another friendly pet. If you’re looking for a kitten who’s equal parts lovable and adventurous, Larry is ready to brighten your days.
Hi, I'm Gas Leak.
This shy little guy is still learning that the world is a safe place, and he appreciates patient people who will let him settle in at his own pace.
When he first meets new people, Gas Leak may hang back and observe from a cozy hiding spot. But give him a little time, and you’ll start to see his curious, playful side emerge. He enjoys kitten toys, quiet exploration, and relaxing in warm, comfortable spots where he can keep an eye on everything around him.
As his confidence grows, so does his affection. Watching Gas Leak come out of his shell is incredibly rewarding, and the trust he gives is truly special. He would thrive in a calm, loving home with adopters who understand that the best friendships sometimes take a little time to develop.
If you’re looking for a gentle companion Gas Leak may be the perfect addition to your family.
Hi, I'm Slimpy.
One of three tuxedo musketeers, these silly named siblings ran up to someone walking the trails at Springettsbury Park and earned themselves a ticket to find a forever family! They’ve been spending their days playing and wrestling one another without a care, then recharging in a big old cuddle puddle. Slimpy likes to give his humans little baby head butts and purr the day away… in between the kitten shenanigans, of course.
Due to their stray background, we don’t know how they feel about living with dogs, cats, or young children, but we expect they could adapt to all sorts of homes, so any prospective family hoping for a forever friend is free to apply!

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.
