1. Pearl

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Newtown

Name: PearlAge: about 5 years old*Adoption Fee: $200Meet Pearl, a sweet and charming girl with a story that deserves a happy ending. When her previous owners moved away, they sadly left her behind in their apartment building to fend for herself. Although they left her behind, they did leave her wearing a pretty pearl collar, which inspired us to give her the name Pearl. Now, she is safe, loved, and ready to find someone who will never leave her behind again. Pearl has been an absolute pleasure to have around! She is a loving, affectionate girl who enjoys all the little things that make a cat happy.

Read more about Pearl

She adores head rubbies, ear rubbies, catnip, and giving sweet little head butts to show you just how much she likes you. She is also quite the talker and loves to share her thoughts with you, so you'll never have to wonder what's on her mind! Pearl has a few preferences that make her personality even more endearing. She loves her special chair and firmly believes it belongs to her and her alone! Try to sit in it, and she'll be sure to let you know that you've made a terrible mistake. She also loves affection, but belly rubs are definitely not on her list of favorite things. And while she enjoys being close to her people and sharing love, she's not much of a lap cat. She's more of a "I'll sit near you, give you head butts, and accept all the attention I want, thank you very much!" kind of girl.After being left behind by the people she depended on, Pearl deserves a forever home where she will always feel safe, cherished, and wanted. She has so much love to give and a wonderful personality to share with someone special. If you're looking for a sweet, vocal, affectionate companion with a little sass and a whole lot of heart, Pearl may just be your girl. Pearl is ready for her next chapter — one filled with love, comfort, and a family who will always choose her.

Don’t even try. This handsome little guy is basically a tiny panther who happens to come in orange and white. He has the confidence, the attitude, and just enough questionable decision-making to qualify. Ziggy absolutely craves human affection and wants to be wherever his people are. He loves attention, affection, and being told what a handsome boy he is. The problem is… sometimes he loves it a little too much.

We’re working on teaching him that sometimes the appropriate response to affection is more purring and not a tiny chomp.Ziggy is the kind of cat who needs someone willing to let him set the pace, respect his boundaries, and appreciate his quirky orange-cat personality. Give him time, let him come to you, and he’ll reward you with plenty of affection—and probably a little bit of panther-level mischief.If you're looking for a cat with personality, charm, a serious appreciation for humans, and just enough spicy orange-cat energy to keep life interesting, Ziggy might be your guy.

He has an industrial-strength purr motor—and when he’s extra happy, he adds in a drooly little “love bonus.” Yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds.

Stewart is also very vocal—he’ll happily “talk” to you, and make it clear when he’s ready for pets. He’s an easy kitten to read and loves that back-and-forth interaction with his people.

    How to adopt from Animals for Life, Inc.

    All of our prospective adopters must fill out an adoption application and review the application with one of our adoption counselors. The adoption application will enable us to get to know you and your family a little better and help us to better match you with a pet that will suit your lifestyle. We request that all members of a family be present at the time of application. It's important to us that all members of your household be comfortable with the animals that you are considering for adoption. We try to ensure that the animals you are looking at are a safe and compatible match for all members of your family by giving you information about the activity level, training needs and general personality traits of the animals in our care. We try very hard to make the best possible match between your home and one of our pets, so we do reserve the right to deny any application. We also will accept multiple applications on the same animal in an effort to find it the best home. We require written permission from your landlord or management company in the event that you rent your residence. Animals for Life checks veterinarian references and may make a home visit either before or after a pet is adopted. We do not ship any animal. We remain available for assistance and follow-up advice after a pet goes to a new home. Remember, our job begins with an adoption -- we are always happy to hear from you! Our adoption counselors are available to answer any training or behavior question

    How to adopt from Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc.

    NVEcats,The Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc.(NVEcats), finds homes for homeless, abandoned, and abused cats, rescued from the mean streets of Cairo, Egypt, working diligently to find responsible and loving Pet Parents in the USA. We work with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) supported charities in Egypt who have rescued abandoned, neglected and abused animals. Almost all of these animals have survived hunger, poisonings, and illnesses before entering the safety of the Egyptian Mau Rescue Organization –EMRO and/or other NGOs. Our adoption process begins with an adoption application which will be provided to any interested adult 21 years of age, or older. We will also require a veterinarian’s reference. We are looking for very special people who truly care about these animals, not as property, but who will be accepted as loving, long-term companions being welcomed into the lives of their adoptive families. Our priority is to ensure the cats will never again need to be rescued, will never be hungry and, most importantly, will never be abused. In order to accomplish this goal, we ask all potential adoptive parents to fully fill out and complete a detailed adoption application. Adoption from NVEcats means that you will be asked to make a tax deductible adoption donation, pay for spaying/neutering, and any other medical care required before the felines are allowed to enter into the USA. Foster homes for cats and kittens newly arrived in the US are also availabl

Adopting a cat in Newtown

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
