Hi, I'm Pippin.
🍃 Meet Pippin 🍃
Like the famous hobbit himself, Pippin is an outgoing, lovable little troublemaker with an endless sense of adventure. Playtime is one of his favorite parts of the day, especially if it involves chasing toys, wrestling with his brother, or investigating anything that might possibly be edible. This food-loving little guy is always excited for mealtime and isn’t shy about checking to see if you’ve brought him a snack, too!
Pippin is wonderfully friendly and confident, happily introducing himself to new people and making fast friends wherever he goes. When he’s finally burned off some of his kitten energy, he’s more than happy to curl up beside his favorite humans for a nap, purring contentedly the whole time. His affectionate personality and playful spirit make him a joy to have around. Pippin would love a home with another playful kitten or cat to keep him company and a family that’s ready to enjoy all the fun that comes with an adventurous young kitten. Whether he’s embarking on his next great quest or snuggling up after a busy day, Pippin is guaranteed to bring plenty of laughter and love into your home.
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 Donna.
🩶 Meet Donna 🩶
Donna is a beautiful gray tabby with a gentle heart and a sweet, affectionate personality. She loves spending her days playing, snuggling, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood from her favorite window perch. If there’s a bird, squirrel, or blowing leaf outside, you’ll likely hear her adorable little chirps as she excitedly watches the world unfold.
Having been raised in a foster home with children, cats, and dogs, Donna is comfortable around both people and other animals. She’s friendly, adaptable, and enjoys having companions to play with before curling up for a well-earned nap. Her calm, loving nature makes her an easy addition to just about any family.
Donna would be happiest in a home with another friendly pet to keep her company. While she and Larry are not bonded, they share a special friendship and love spending time together, making them wonderful companions if adopted as a pair. Whether she joins Larry or another playful friend, Donna is sure to fill her forever home with cuddles, chirps, and endless love.
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!
Hi, I'm Stizzy.
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. Stizzy was too busy getting in his daily requirement of pouncing wand toys to give a statement for his report, but rest assured he’ll be happy to make time for you!
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.
