4. Dollar C
LAP CAT ALERT!!! Meet Dollar — a sensitive, affectionate cat with a gentle heart and a deep love for being close to his person.
Dollar is the kind of cat who will happily curl up in your lap for as long as you will let him. He is a true companion cat who simply wants to be near you, whether you are relaxing on the couch or even just sitting down for a quiet moment.
Because Dollar is a sensitive soul, he does best with a calm and patient environment. If voices get loud, he will quietly retreat to his favorite safe spot until things feel peaceful again. He is very in tune with his humans and seems to understand when he has done something that is not allowed.
He is not especially interested in traditional cat toys like balls, springs, or wand toys, but bring out a laser pointer and Dollar comes to life.
Read more about Dollar C
It is by far his favorite kind of playtime, and watching his excitement is sure to make you smile.
Dollar has a squeaky little meow, long legs, and an easygoing attitude about where he sleeps. As long as he feels safe and comfortable, he is happy to settle in just about anywhere.
Dollar came from a home with many other cats and is now looking for a fresh start after his former owner unfortunately lost their housing. Through it all, he has remained a loving and adaptable companion.
He gets along well with other cats and kittens, but he has not been around dogs or children, so slow introductions would be best if either are part of his future home. Dollar would likely thrive in a quieter household with someone who appreciates a loyal lap cat and understands that sensitive cats blossom when they feel secure.
Dollar is estimated to be 5 to 7 years old. He is playing with his foster family and the resident cat and is enjoying watching the world through the front window.
Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. Thank you! (Foster: Tracy Jo D.)

5. Binx
Meet Binx!
Binx is a sweet and affectionate tuxedo boy who traded life on the streets for the comforts of indoor living and he’s loving it!
This handsome little guy is an absolute sweetheart. He loves being petted, snuggling up with his people, and will
happily accept belly rubs. His favorite things include cuddles, treats, comfy beds, and, of course, mealtime. And don’t worry, if breakfast is running a little late, Binx is not afraid to politely remind you!
Read more about Binx
Although he’s still settling into foster life and we’re continuing to learn more about his personality, one thing is already very clear: Binx loves affection, and being around people.
He’s gentle, loving, and seems very happy to have discovered the indoor-cat lifestyle.
If you’re looking for a handsome little cuddle bug with a big heart (and an even bigger appreciation for snacks), Binx may be your guy.

6. Dewey
Dewey is an odd little thirteen week old orange tabby in the most lovable way. He has a habit of staring like a tiny alien trying to understand human life, and honestly, it just makes him more charming. Curious to his core, Dewey loves smelling everything he encounters — people, furniture, toys, the air — all part of his personal investigation routine.
Read more about Dewey
He’s incredibly friendly and adores people, always happy to be near his humans and soak up attention. Playful and goofy, Dewey brings joy to every room, but he also naps like it’s his full‑time job. When he’s awake, he’s exploring; when he’s asleep, he’s recharging for more weird little adventures.
If you’re looking for a sweet, quirky, people‑loving cat with a playful streak and a whole lot of personality, Dewey is ready to beam into his forever home.

7. Sylvie
Sylvie is a sweet young girl looking for a loving family to call her own. While she can be a little shy when first settling into a new environment, she blossoms with patience, encouragement, and consistent love. Once she feels comfortable, Sylvie wants to be right where the action is, whether that's lounging in the living room with her family or keeping you company while you work.
Read more about Sylvie
One of Sylvie's favorite things is finding a cozy perch where she can relax and watch the world around her. She enjoys pets, treats, and mealtime, and she's always happy to spend time with the people she trusts. Sylvie is also incredibly curious and inquisitive. She loves exploring new spaces, investigating new toys, and figuring out how everything works.
Sylvie gets along well with other cats, dogs, and people. In fact, we'd love to see her join a home with another friendly cat. She enjoys the company of feline friends and often looks to them for social cues as she navigates new situations. Having a kitty companion helps her feel more confident and comfortable.
A special thing about Sylvie is that she knows her name and responds to it!
If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate, and curious companion who will reward your patience with loyalty and companionship, Sylvie may be the perfect addition to your family.

8. Inga
Inga is a very sweet, healthy tortoiseshell kitten. She was originally picked up as a colony stray with her sister, but she proved to be far too friendly for colony life. She is very affectionate and loves to curl up right next to her foster family to snuggle. She would love to be adopted with her sister, Edie, who is a calico/tortico. When it comes to kittens, two are always better than one!

9. Dolly Parton
Meet Dolly! This sweet girl was found living in a South Philadelphia parking lot, where a kind attendant had been feeding and caring for her. We were later told that someone had thrown her over a fence months earlier, leaving her to fend for herself. Thankfully, Dolly's days of surviving outdoors are behind her, and she's ready for a loving home of her own.
Read more about Dolly Parton
Dolly can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it only takes a few gentle pets before she's rubbing against you and asking for more attention. She is a sweet, affectionate girl with plenty of charm to share. Because she can get a bit overstimulated during playtime, she would do best with another young or playful cat who can help her burn off some energy and keep her company.
This perfect little lady is ready to trade parking lot life for a cozy couch and a family to call her own. All Dolly needs is someone willing to give her a chance to show just how wonderful she is!

10. Garfield
Meet Garfield, the master of coziness and curser of Mondays! Just like his cartoon counterpart, Garfield's favorite activity is relaxing with his human especially on soft blankets and pillows.
This sweet orange tabby loves comfort and would happily snuggle up on the couch for a movie marathon. While he may not be a fan of early mornings, he promises to fill your life with love and warmth. Garfield is ready to find a forever home where he can be the king of naps.
Garfield would be happiest as an only cat but is tolerant of small dogs who generally leave him alone. He loves to eat and is a perfect gentleman when it comes to bathroom habits.

11. Edie
Edie is a deliciously adorable calico who was recently rescued from a colony and is just beginning to discover the joys of indoor life. While we're still getting to know exactly who she'll become, a few things are already crystal clear: she absolutely loves people, adores snuggling, and firmly believes that all available pets should be directed her way. As her personality continues to blossom, one thing is certain, Edie is incredibly gentle, sweet, and loving, and she's ready to find a home where she can shower her people with affection.

12. Fievel
Fievel is an adorable tabby boy who is equal parts playful and cuddly. While he loves to play, he may love cuddling beside you (or on top of you!) even more! Within seconds, he is making biscuits and purring up a storm. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and is a fan favorite of his foster mom. This little boy is curious, funny, and absolutely precious in every way.
Read more about Fievel
Fievel was surrendered to ACCT due to too many animals at just a few weeks old. Far too young to be separated from mama and in poor shape. He was absolutely covered in hundreds of fleas, causing anemia, and suffering from an URI. Even as sick as he was, he never let it get him down. He was silly and affectionate from day one.
Fievel has lived with many other cats and kittens and does great with them. Since Fievel is young and playful, he will need a forever home with another kitten or young, friendly cat to keep him company. He could also possibly do well with a calm, respectful dog. He has not met any children, but since he is easy-going, he could be a good match for a home with kids.
Fievel will make an excellent lifelong companion! Are you ready to welcome this loving boy into your life?

13. Samurai
Samurai is an adorable tuxedo girl who is timid at first but is learning to be brave and overcome her fears. As her name suggests, she is a stoic warrior with a tragic backstory resulting in the loss of her eye. Samurai is very playful, but reserved, and is usually more content with observing you than pouncing all over you. Still, she is very sweet and does enjoy pets, just on her own terms.
Read more about Samurai
Samurai and her sister, Ninja, had a rough start to their lives — both had bad eye infections when found on the streets and brought to ACCT. Samurai unfortunately had her left eye rupture prior to being rescued and will have the eye fully removed before adoption. Samurai does perfectly well with one eye; it doesn’t slow her down at all! These girls quickly bounced back once in foster care and are now very strong and healthy but surviving on the streets all alone has made them a little shy and cautious in new scenarios. With some gentle patience, you’ll earn both of their trusts in no time.
Samurai is shy and relies on Ninja as emotional support, so we are looking for a home where the two can be adopted together. These sisters are so sweet together, and you’ll love having a pair of bonded kittens! Think you could be the perfect home for two sweet sisters?

Read more about Ninja
Ninja and her sister, Samurai, had a rough start to their lives — both had bad eye infections when found on the streets and brought to ACCT. Ninja was the luckier of the two and has kept both eyes, though her one eye has permanent cloudiness that does not affect her vision. These girls quickly bounced back once in foster care and are now very strong and healthy but surviving on the streets all alone has made them a little shy and cautious in new scenarios. With some gentle patience, you’ll earn both of their trusts in no time.

Named after the iconic Vampire actor of the 50's & 60;s, Christopher Lee is anything but spooky. This cheerful little boy is a bundle of sunshine, energy, and fun. Outgoing and confident, Christopher has never met a person or animal he didn’t want to befriend.
He loves wrestling and playing with his siblings, spending time with his mom, and has done well around dogs too. Curious, social, and always ready for his next adventure, Christopher brings joy wherever he goes.

Meet Church!
Church is proof that resilience comes in small, furry packages. Found pregnant and suffering from a severe leg injury, this incredible girl had to have her front leg amputated—but she hasn’t let that slow her down one bit. Church is spunky, playful, opinionated, and an expert cuddler.
She loves to chat and will happily chirp away about her day before curling up in your lap for hours of snuggles. Church enjoys being the center of attention and has plenty of personality to keep you entertained.

Church can live happily as a solo cat or with feline friends. While she’s not a big fan of dogs, she may do well with calm, respectful pups who give her space.
Now fully healed and thriving, Church is ready to leave her difficult past behind and find the loving home she deserves.

17. Maila Nurmi
Meet Maila! Despite her dramatic name, this pretty little lady is anything but a dark mistress. Maila is a sweet, misunderstood teen mom who was found living on the porch of an abandoned house in West Philly with her four kittens. A kind Good Samaritan reached out for help, and we quickly brought the family to safety.
Maila has been an incredibly devoted mother, continuing to dote on her babies even as they grow more independent. Now it's time for this young mom to find a home of her own.
Read more about Maila Nurmi
Maila is petite, gentle, and affectionate. She may need a little time to warm up to other cats, though that could simply be her protective mom instincts. We aren't sure how she feels about dogs just yet. She would likely be happiest as an only cat or with a calm, respectful feline friend.
After raising her family, Maila is ready to leave motherhood behind and enjoy the spoiled house-cat life she deserves.

18. Andy
Andy is one of those cats who is impossible not to love. ❤️
He’s sweet, friendly, energetic, and absolutely loves being around his people. Andy likes to follow you around, investigate whatever you’re doing, and make sure he’s included in all the action. He also loves being held and soaking up attention from his humans.
When he’s not busy supervising, you’ll find Andy working on his puzzle feeder, making biscuits, or happily lounging in a sunny windowsill. And this boy has one of the
loudest, sweetest purrs
around!

Andy is also extra special in the looks department. He has the cutest little freckles around and inside his mouth, plus some very unique black-and-white whiskers that make his face completely his own.

19. Chai
Chai is a gentle, soft-spoken senior lady (8 years young) who proves that the quietest souls often have the biggest hearts. She may take a little time to warm up — the world can be pretty scary — but once she does, you'll feel like the most special person in the world.
The quickest way to Chai's heart? Good, strong head scritches. Put out your hand and she's sure to head butt your hand, close her eyes, and circle back and forth for more until your hand tires out.
Read more about Chai
Because Chai has no teeth (poor girl had dental disease when she came to Kitten Snatchers), Chai is prone to the most adorable bleps! These little tongue-out moments will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face! But don't worry -- even without teeth, Chai eats dry and wet food just like any other cat.
Chai's ideal home would be with a calm, patient adopter who understands that shy cats just need a little extra time. She came to us from a home with a lot of other cats and would do really well with a kitty friend to help boost her cat confidence. If you're looking for a low-key, sweet-natured companion who will repay your patience with a lifetime of quiet devotion, Chai is your girl!

20. Steve
Rescued from a difficult beginning, Steve has faced more challenges and overcome more obstacles than most cats ever will. Living on the city streets, he was found with a broken leg and open wounds on his frail body. Upon rescue he was also diagnosed with, hyperesthesia, a condition that ultimately required the amputation of his tail.
Just when it seemed the hardest days were behind him,
Read more about Steve
Steve was diagnosed with severe stomatitis, a painful condition that made even the simplest things, like eating, unbearable. To give him the chance at a pain-free life, all of his teeth were surgically removed—a big change that brought him much-needed relief. Through every procedure, recovery, and setback, he has shown an inspiring spirit that refuses to give up.
Today, Steve’s wounds have healed and he’s feeling better than ever. He is playful and affectionate and gets along with dogs and kittens. He would likely be fine with adult cats with proper introduction.
Steve may have no teeth and no tail, but what he does have is a heart full of love, and an unbreakable spirit. His only wish is a future filled with comfort, happiness, and a forever home where he’ll be cherished for the sweet boy he is.

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.

Adopting a cat in Paulsboro
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.
