Cleo

Adopted in 2008

Cleo wandered into her rescuer's home. Sweet and pretty, it wasn't long before she found a new home in the suburbs with her mom. As it turns out, her new brother, Darcy, wandered into their mom's house right before she adopted Cleo! Cleo (now Lizzy) and Darcy enjoy playing and chasing each other around the house and just hanging out.

Frankie

Adult Female

Frankie's foster mom fell for her, and decided that the two of them should live happiy ever! 

Frankie is a very sweet girl who has had a rough go in life so far, and is looking for a home with lots of love and stability.  She showed up in a West Philly back yard, filthy and rail thin - she was so hungry that she walked right into our humane trap.  She waited patiently for a forever home but she was adopted by folks with a dog, which was terrifying for her, so she came back to us so that we can find her a better match.   Because she has had her trust violated so many times, she is initially scared of people, but as soon as she realizes that you are going to pet her and scratch her ears, she is a puddle of kitty cuddles.   She loves to sit next to you on the couch and keep you company, and is a total cuddle buddy at night.  She is a brown tabby with gorgeous dark stripes on her face, a white chest and paws, an adorable pink nose, and a heart melting “mew”.   Frankie is a perfect small apartment cat – she prefers to stick to one or two rooms, and while she can live with okay with other non-aggressive cats, she would much prefer to not have to compete for your affection.   She will do best a calm, quiet home and is looking for a human who will be patient with her while she gets used to her new home.  Can you offer this sweet girl a stable, loving home?

Frankie is approximately 3 years old, spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on vaccinations, and flea/parasite-free. Adoption application and $85 adoption fee are required. Adoption application available online at www.citykitties.org.

Hugo

Adopted 9/2008

Someone found Hugo wandering the streets, wearing a flea collar he had outgrown long ago. But poor Hugo's luck was about to change! He spent a short time in foster care with two adult kitty friends, sprinting up and down the hallway and pouncing on his foster siblings at every chance. It didn't take long for Hugo's new parents to come along, and now he's living it up in a West Philly apartment with his new sister, Arugula.

Maurice

Adopted 8/2004

Maurice was the sick kitten of a West Philly stray cat couple. His father was Scrunch, a roughneck neighborhood tom (who has since found a loving home), while his mother was 1-Ear, a toothless gray stray. Maurice was terrified of people when we got him, but he warmed up quickly and was adopted out to a nice grad student. He now answers to Mingus.

Plum

Young Female

A friend of City Kitties found Plum on a busy street, scooped her up and brought her home.  This gorgeous lady loves people and actively seeks out scratches and head rubs to anyone who loves to give them!  Plum is a bit timid around other cats, but once she gets to know them, things are just peachy.  Her favorites things are rubbing your legs when you walk and finding a snuggly spot next to you while you snooze.  Plum found her forever home after four months in foster care--she clearly chose her foster mom's boyfriend as her favorite person. Congratulations, Plum!

Steve

Adult Male

Steve was found wandering the streets of West Philly and was taken in by a volunteer. He was in rough shape then, but look at him now! Friendly and incredibly handsome, Steve is an ideal feline companion. Steve loves nothing more than snuggling between his foster parents on the couch, or saddling up to a human relaxing around the house. Steve can be picky about being handled and will let you know when he's not in the mood, but he will grow to trust and love a new family as he has his foster parents. We aren't sure how Steve would do around cats or dogs as he hasn't been around any in his foster home, but he would probably adjust to another laid-back cat. Steve has been waiting for his forever family for way too long, and we don't know why--he's a fantastic kitty just looking for the right person to take him home!

Steve is about 3-4 years old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, and flea-free.

Tofu

Adopted in 2005

Tofu was found wandering around the Philly Zoo while extremely pregnant and was taken to a local shelter to be euthanized. But as luck would have it, she came homewith us instead! She had eight healthy kittens in our closet and all were adopted out to happy homes. Tofu was very grateful to be spayed after that mess! But miss 'Foo remained a foster for months on end--nobody seemed to want this wonderful girl because she doesn't like other animals. Finally the perfect new mom came along, and after ten long months, she got a wonderful forever home.

Turkey

Adopted in 2007

Turkey got his name from the unfortunate way he came to City Kitties. A day before Thanksgiving, his former 'owners' abandoned this sweet guy in a carrier outside in the freezing cold. But Turkey didn't have to wait long for his new mom to find him--and they are clearly a great match! When we dropped Turkey off at his new apartment, we could tell it was just the right place for him. As you can see from this photo of his first evening at home, he agrees wholeheartedly. Turkey has been renamed Flip for his amazing ability to do backflips while playing with a wand toy!

Wilbur

Adopted in 2006

Wilbur was hit by a car and nursed back to health at a local vet office. After many months living mostly in a boarding cage, he was adopted by a nice woman and her kitty, Mabel. Mabel and Wilbur sound like they'll make quite a couple!
