Carl

Baby

Quick View

Carl

Baby

Carl is a sweet, reserved kitten with big beautiful eyes.  Very striking!  He is playful with other kitties and is fairly independant.  Carl like people and will gladly seek out a lap for some snoozing, but he would much rather spend time exploring his surroundings and pouncing his foster sisters (much to their surprise).  Carl isn't much of a talker, but will give a tiny meow if he is looking for you.

Carl is 6 weeks old and will be neutered when he is 3 months old.  He is also, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Charlie

Adult Female

Quick View

Charlie

Adult Female

Charlie was rescued by a concerned volunteer who didn't want to see this sweet kitty on the streets this winter.  Orginally the rescuer thought Charlie was a boy, but a close look proved she was a girl, but the name stuck anyway.  Charlie always like to be in the same room as people, so you won't be lonely.  She doesn't like to be picked up, but will snuggle on the couch, in bed, on your lap, etc. like a champ!  Charlie loves to play with fuzzy toys and will scurry after a laser pointer all day long.  What she is really looking for is a quiet home with humans to give her lots of pets, food and chin scratches.  She gets a long with other kitties, but we think she would do best in a house with her people to herself.

Charlie is 2-3 years old, spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Cherry & Johnny

Young Female

Quick View

Cherry & Johnny

Young Female

This dynamic sibling duo was rescued from the streets of West Philly. Too friendly to fend for themselves on the street, they were lucky to find a rescuer to take them in. Now they're looking for a place to call home forever--preferably together! Cherry (girl) and Johnny (boy) are both active, playful, and mischievous young cats who will keep you entertained for hours. Once playtime is over though, they're just as happy to curl up for some cuddle time. When you hold Cherry or Johnny on their backs in your arms, they curl up into adorable little balls. They enjoy belly rubs, as long as the human doing the belly-rubbing doesn't mind some playtime too.

These young cats have spent time around children, dogs, and other cats. They get along well with everyone and are gentle with kids. Simply put, they're cute, fun, and ready to find their forever home! They are bonded and (as you can see from their photos) make an adorable pair. They could be adopted as only pets or as a wonderful addition to a feline/canine herd. They would be happy either way, as long as they can stay together.

Cherry and Johnny are about one year old, spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on vaccinations (FVRCP and rabies), and received flea/parasite preventative medication and treatment as needed.

Donatello

Baby Male

Donatello

Baby Male

This funny tuxedo boy was found with his littermates on a construction site, with no mama cat in sight. Luckily, a veterinarian scooped up the kittens and brought them to safely. Donatello is an affectionate kitten with a GIANT purr that loves to be held, pet and snuggled.  He is a bit of a talker, especially when there is food around!  Donatello is fearless and loves to explore, but will quickly find a lap to nap in when he gets sleepy.  He gets along great with his foster brother and sisters and will make an excellent companion for humans and kitties! Donatello has slightly crossed eyes, giving him an adorably confused look most of the time. It doesn't affect his eyesight or ability to get around.

Donatello is 2.5 months old and will be neutered when he is 3 months old.  He is also FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

LiLi

Adult Female

LiLi

Adult Female

LiLi showed up on a rescuer's doorstep a week after a winter blizzard looking half-dead. She was so thin we worried she might not recover from her starvation on the streets, her paws were burned from road salt, and she was missing clumps of fur all over her body. Once in foster care, her fur grew back, she gained several pounds, and her personality came shining through. She is now a beautiful tuxedo kitty with big, round eyes that make her look like a cartoon character! Despite her rough start in life, LiLi is affectionate, loving, and playful. She really loves to cuddle and has a funny personality. She enjoys following her humans around, meowing at them occasionally for attention. LiLi is just thrilled to be inside with an endless supply of food, water, and love. LiLi has lived with another kitty in her foster home, but she would prefer to be an only cat. She would make a fantastic companion to someone looking for a single pet to share their days with.
While in foster care, LiLi developed urinary crystals, an issue common to young female cats. Thanks to her special food, she's all better now and is a happy and healthy kitty! She uses the litterbox like a champ and never has accidents. She will need to be on prescription wet food for the rest of her life. City Kitties will provide 6 month supply of food. Please don't let this minor medical issue prevent you from adopting this sweet girl! She deserves a forever home and would make an excellent companion for just about anybody.
LiLi is spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, vaccinated (FVRCP and rabies), uses her litterbox, and has been tested/treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Marmalade

Adult Male

Quick View

Marmalade

Adult Male

Marmalade is as sweet as his name suggests. This big, handsome boy was found wandering outside with a large wound on his head. The poor guy had literally been fighting for his life out on the streets -- no place for a sweet, cuddly cat like Marm. Now that he's inside, his foster mom says he is definitely a lover, not a fighter! She describes him as a cuddle bug, a lapcat, and the perfect companion for someone who is looking for a laid-back attitude in their new pet. 

As you can see from his photos, Marmalade is a good-natured cat and you can practically see a smile on his face! He has big, fluffy paws, bushy whiskers, and adorable ear tufts. His fur is medium length, which provides the perfect amount of soft fluffiness with a bit less maintenance than a long-hair kitty. 

Marmalade tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), but don't let this scare you away -- cats with FIV can and do live long, happy, healthy lives. We recommend high-quality cat food and blood work at least every year to make sure Marm's immune system is healthy. Other than that, he needs no special care. FIV is not transmittable to humans or other species -- only felines -- and can only be spread through bite wounds and mating. This means that Marmalade could be an only cat or share his home with other FIV+ cats. Marmalade would be a fantastic only pet, since he adores people and craves their attention. There is no reason to believe Marm can't live a normal lifespan, so why not give him a chance to spend that life with you? He will repay you for years to come with cuddles and snuggles.

Marmalade is about 2-3 years old, neutered, FIV+, FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Maxwell

Adult Male

Quick View

Maxwell

Adult Male

Maxwell was first spotted by his rescuer last summer. He wandered onto her West Philly porch, bone-thin from starvation on the streets, with a torn-up ear. He was so skinny, it was hard to look at him, but after spending a few weeks in his kitty 'condo,' he put on weight. Shortly thereafter, poor Maxwell suffered some serious wounds and his rescuer brought him to the vet to get fixed up. Now he's healthy, happy, and ready to find his forever home! Maxwell is gentle and enjoys attention (though he doesn't like to be picked up). He seems like a wise, wordly kind of guy after all he's been through. His sleek black coat gives him a polished look, and his crumpled ear adds some character! Max doesn't like sharing his foster home with multiple cats and dogs, but we think he would do well in a home with one other pet or with kids. He's an all-around great companion who just wants a stable place to call home for the rest of his life. Please give Maxwell the second chance he deserves! 

Maxwell is about 3-5 years old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccinations, and has been tested/treated for fleas/parasites as needed.

May

May

Adult Female

Meet May! This petite girl was dropped off at the shelter by her former owners--it wasn't her fault she ended up in such a scary place. May moved to a foster home and her personality emerged immediately. She is curious, inquisitive, and playful. So far, her favorite toys are the Cat Dancer and the iPad Game for Cats (see the video of her going nuts on that thing!). She especially likes it when her foster parents initiatite playtime.

May is talkative, with an adorable, raspy little 'mew,' and enjoys following her foster parents everywhere. She wants to know what everyone is up to! May also enjoys flopping next to her humans and purring while they read (and hopefully pet her too). She could be adopted into a home with other cats, but like most felines, will need time to adjust to any new kitty siblings. May is very gentle and we think she would do well with children. She really wants a home with people who will give her the love, attention, and playtime she craves. 

May is about 5 years old, spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Rocco & Red

Adult Male

Quick View

Rocco & Red

Adult Male

Rocco and Red lost their home in a foreclosure.  Their mom was desperate to find them a place where they could stay together.  She contacted City Kitties and these great guys moved into foster care. 

Their foster mom says that Rocco is the adventurer of the pair.  He is likely to be the life of the party whenever you have guests.  He is a frequent couch companion and likes to be on the same 'level' as his people.  This sometimes results in him riding around on your shoulder (if you'll let him).  Rocco is not intimidated by dogs, cats or people. 

Rocco's sister Red is a bit more shy and reserved.  She likes her people, but rarely comes out to play when there are guests around.  She will happily sit with people and likes quiet time.  Red loves catnip, but is much less competitive in her play than her brother Rocco. 

Rocco and Red are a bit of an odd couple.  They will curl up on the same person, but rarely curl up with each other when there isn't a person involved.  Rocco and Red do enjoy each other's companionship and will wrestle together with a bit of sibling rivalry. 

Rocco  and Red are spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Scarlett

Young Female

Quick View

Scarlett

Young Female

 

Scarlett came to City Kitties from ACCT weighing 5.5 pounds and with chemical burns all over her face
and eyes. With top-notch care at The Cat Dr. and lots of love, Scarlett is now a hefty 6.8 pounds and her
face has healed wonderfully. There is some permanent scarring on her eyes. I’m pretty sure it affects
her vision (especially depth perception), but it doesn’t slow her down.
A few weeks after entering foster care, Scarlett came down with a urinary issue - she was peeing
constantly, and it was obvious she was in distress. She was checked for infections and urinary crystals
but the vet didn’t detect either. A special diet and the addition of a kitty water fountain took care of the
problem in less than a week. In order to keep Scarlett’s urinary issue from returning, she should stay
on her current diet and have fountain water available. When she is adopted she’ll come with her kitty
fountain and a case of food. Scarlett is meticulous about her litter box. Even while she was in distress
she used her litter box perfectly.
Scarlett needs to be where the action is. She’s always in the same room as me. If I’m writing a letter,
she’s on top of it. If I’m surfing the internet, she’s checking out the keyboard. If I’m cooking, she’s my
sous chef. If I take the dogs for a walk, she’s waiting at the door to greet us upon our return.
Scarlett loves to play. Unlike most playful cats, she doesn’t do well with the wand and string type toys.
I think her eyesight makes playing with those difficult. She adores toys that make noise – jingle balls,
crinkly pom-poms and rattle mice are some of her favorites. She also likes little soft toys that she can
carry around in her mouth.
Over the course of several weeks, Scarlett got used to the idea of living with dogs. Now her favorite play
pass time is stalking Kibitz – one of my dogs. Kibitz has no idea how much time Scarlett spends quietly
stalking her, waiting for the perfect opportunity to run in and take a playful swat at her tail. Luckily,
Kibitz is pretty tolerant of Scarlett’s antics.
Scarlett’s knack for getting into trouble makes me laugh. At first I wondered how she ended up with
chemical burns all over her face and eyes – then I noticed how often she stuck her face into my hot
chocolate and came out snorting with a burnt tongue! She climbs fearlessly onto unstable piles of stuff
only to have the entire pile come tumbling down on top of her. She has a tendency to forget she’s
standing on the rim of the toilet when she’s talking to me excitedly about breakfast in the morning – and
she falls in. After each disaster, Scarlett picks herself up and walks away in a dignified manner as if it
never happened.
Scarlett expresses her affection in her own way. Once her antics have exhausted her, she’ll snuggle up
next to me while I’m sitting at the computer or reading a book. She doesn’t sit on my lap, but she’ll curl
up with her butt against me, fall asleep with her paws hugging me, or even sit with her front paws on my
lap. At night, after I go to sleep she’ll sneak up and fall asleep on my belly or legs. I know I make Scarlett
sound like a feisty little demon of a kitty, but she has a charming personality and I’m quite smitten. I
don’t think she’s everyone’s ideal cat, but I think for someone with a sense of humor and not too many
fragile knick-knacks, she’ll be a perfect companion.

Sir Harry was found wandering the cold streets of Philadelphia. A friend of City Kitties contacted us because that is no place for such a sweet kitty. This young bachelor is very friendly and very rambunctious. He loves wrestling with his foster girlfriend, Penny, and would especially like to find a forever home with her -- but he would be happy in a home with any active cat! Sir Harry loves to be around people and is overall a great guy. He could be just the companion you've been looking for!

Sir Harry is about one year old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Walker

Walker

Adult Male

Walker was found by a concerned volunteer between cars on a busy street.  When they returned with a carrier, it was obvious that he was not 'normal' - he got up to get a kitty treat and fell right over.  At the vet he was diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological disorder affecting balance. Walker was born with CH and doesn't know he's any different from other kitties! CH only affects balance and coordination--Walker is healthy and can live a perfectly normal life span.

Walker LOVES attention and purrs ALL the time.  He likes to get his belly rubbed, and likes to play with his toy mouse.  He is constantly kneading with his front paws.  He is on the messy side when it comes to eating, as he has trouble keeping still and the food gets scattered about.  However, he finishes his meals by eating all the food he dropped on the floor.  Walker gets in and out of the litter box with very little trouble.   He falls over a lot, but he also manages to get around, too.  When he is intent on investigating something, he marches, Bambi style, until he gets there.  It's very cute.  Because Walker tends to fall over so much, he will do best in a home with carpeting as opposed to hardwood flooring or tile with little or no steps.  

Walker is about a year old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Wednesday

Adult Female

Wednesday was found wandering outside in the cold.  A friendly neighbor called City Kitties and got her a Cat Igloo while he was on the City Kitties waiting list so she wouldn’t too cold.  When she first came inside she was very shy and nervous.  She hid under the bed or in the closet only occasionally peeking out to say hello.  We could tell she was scared and hiding, but even then she was very gentle and would let us pet her and pick her up with hissing or scratching.    

While Wednesday is still easily spooked and will run back into her closet, when she is intimidates, she is also VERY affectionate.  She loves to purr, get scratches and nuzzle her face into her foster mom.  Sometimes if she isn’t getting enough attention, she will sit next to you and meow until you put your laptop away and give her the scratches she deserves. 

Wednesday has a gorgeous soft, shiny black coat.  She has tiny little ears and extra toes on her front feet.  She has a giant purr, and a squeaky little meow.  She may be shy, but she is SO sweet.  We don’t know much about Wednesday’s history, but our vet estimates that she is 1 – 3 years old.

Zoey

Adult Female

Zoey, a recent mom, was rescued from the Shelter with a horrible upper respiratory infection.  We rushed her to the Cat Doctor.  With love and medication Zoey was soon feeling all better.  We always knew this girl was gorgeous.  Her beautiful white coat is accented with an awesome stripey tail and little gray spot on her head and one on her butt.  As she felt better, we learned she has an amazing personality too!  This girl has it all.  She is lovely, cuddley, gentle and loving. 

Zoey is doing great in her foster home! She's a complete lovebug who thrives on attention and adoration. She always greets her foster mom at the door to 'her' room with a squeak and a butt swipe... and she is always ready for loving.  Zoey is a voracious eater and uses the litterbox without any problems.  She's gentle and sweet and would make a great addition to any household.  She's full of energy, but not overly so, She is an AWESOME kitty.

Zoey is spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.
