In fact, he loves companionship so much that he likes a little encouragement at mealtimes—just a few minutes of sitting nearby and giving gentle pets will make him feel safe enough to dig in. Singer's Ideal Home: Quiet & Calm Environment: He thrives in a peaceful space where he can relax without loud, high-energy bustle. Feline Friends: He loves other cats and would make a wonderful cuddle buddy for another sweet kitty! Dogs: He isn't inherently afraid of dogs, but due to his calm senior lifestyle, high-energy or very large pets can startle him. A home with calm/gentle dogs or no dogs would suit him best.

9. Picasso
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)



Meet Picasso (FeLV+)
This handsome black-and-white tuxedo boy is as affectionate as he is adorable! Picasso is a sweet lump of love who is ready to find his forever home. With his charming tuxedo markings and the most adorable crossed eyes, Picasso is sure to steal your heart. Estimated to be around 2–3 years old, he has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone special to give him the happy ending he deserves.
One of Picasso's very favorite things is playtime with his fellow FeLV+ friends, Van Gogh and Matisse. These 3 boys enjoy each other's company and would all love a home where they can feel safe, loved, and cherished.
Read more about Picasso
Picasso has tested positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is a virus that affects a cat's immune system and can make them more susceptible to certain illnesses. Although there is currently no cure, many FeLV+ cats can enjoy a good quality of life with proper care, regular veterinary visits, and lots of love.
FeLV is spread primarily through close contact between cats, therefore Picasso should live with other FeLV+ cats or as the only cat in the home. He has not been around dogs to our knowledge, but he may do well with a cat-friendly pup if introductions are slow and appropriate.
If you're looking for a loving companion with a unique look and a heart of gold, Picasso may be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give this sweet boy his forever home?
Picasso and his FeLV+ friends Van Gogh and Matisse are playing with their foster family. Please ask about them!

How to adopt from Animal Coalition of Delaware County, Inc.
We believe in an adoption approach that considers important details for finding the right fit, such as a person's home, interests and lifestyle. We then match those with an animal's social, exercise and training needs. Unlike “pass/fail” application programs, we strive to match people and animals through education and discovery. We accomplish this through conversation to create an effective, pleasant adoption experience — and most important — to make lasting matches. Each situation, adopter and animal requires a different approach. And while we reserve the right to refuse an adoption, we always make every effort to work with you to address concerns or find the most appropriate companion animal. Before falling in love with one of our animals, please make sure that you are: At least 21 years of age In possession of a valid photo ID Allowed to have a cat or dog where you live (proof of home ownership or copy of lease with pet clause allowing pets is required) Able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide the training, medical treatment and proper care for the animal Able to provide veterinary references for current and past veterinarians PLEASE ALLOW 4-5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR YOUR APPLICATION TO BE THOROUGHLY PROCESSED BY ONE OF OUR ADOPTION COUNSELORS If the animals are still listed on our website they are still available. If an animal has an adoption pending it will be listed as Pending. Once adopted, the animal will no longer be active but will appear under

Adopting a cat in Cumberland County
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.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
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.
