Hi, I'm Emergency Contact.
Looking for someone who will always be there when you need them? Meet Emergency Contact!
This handsome boy takes his job seriously: he’s a professional cuddler, dedicated lap warmer, and full-time sweetheart. Emergency Contact loves being close to his people and is happiest curled up beside you—or better yet, directly on your lap. If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be part of your daily life, he’s ready to clock in.
Emergency Contact has diabetes, which means he’ll need a family committed to helping manage his condition. Don’t let that scare you away, though—he doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He’s still the same affectionate, loving cat who just wants pets, snuggles, and quality time with his favorite humans.
If you’ve been searching for a loyal companion who will answer every call for comfort, Emergency Contact is standing by and ready to become your best friend.
Hi, I'm Jam.
Jam is a sweet, laid-back gentleman with a gentle heart and a calm, easygoing nature. At first, he can be a bit shy in new situations and may take some time to feel fully comfortable—but once he settles in, his affectionate side begins to shine.
When Jam feels safe, he enjoys soft pets, quiet companionship, and simply being near his trusted people. He’s not demanding or high-energy; instead, he’s the kind of cat who brings a peaceful presence to the home and rewards patience with quiet love.
Jam has previously lived with other cats and may do well in a home with feline companions, especially those who are respectful of his gentle, reserved personality. He tends to thrive in a calm environment where he can adjust at his own pace.
Hi, I'm Cousin Gary’s Garage.

Meet the Family Heirloom litter! These playful, outgoing kittens are always on the move, turning every toy into an adventure and every room into their own personal playground.

Cousin Gary’s Garage is always tinkering his way into fun! This playful little kitten loves zooming around the house, batting toys across the floor, and turning everyday objects into exciting new discoveries. Outgoing and affectionate, he enjoys spending time with both people and his siblings before settling in for a well-deserved cuddle. If you’re looking for a kitten who’s equal parts playful, friendly, and full of personality, Cousin Gary’s Garage is ready to park himself in your heart.
Hi, I'm Uncle Donald’s Recliner.
🪑 Meet Uncle Donald’s Recliner 🪑
Meet the Family Heirloom litter! These playful, outgoing kittens are always on the move, turning every toy into an adventure and every room into their own personal playground. Raised with plenty of love and socialization, they’re friendly, curious, and ready to bring laughter and companionship to their forever families.
Uncle Donald’s Recliner is the perfect place to relax…well, eventually! Before settling down for a cuddle, this playful kitten loves chasing toys, wrestling with siblings, and investigating every corner of the house. Friendly and full of personality, Uncle Donald’s Recliner enjoys being wherever the action is and is always ready to make a new friend. Whether it’s playtime or nap time, this sweet kitten is sure to become your favorite seat in the house.
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.
