13. Ringo Willow Grove Area
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Trenton




Ringo is an adorable black-and-white tuxedo kitten with an approximate date of birth of June 29. She gets her name from the cute little white ring around one of her back legs!
Ringo was trapped with her feral mama, who wanted nothing to do with her. Luckily, Ringo was taken in and bottle-fed, so she is very comfortable around people and has grown into an extremely sweet, loving little girl.
This girl is full of personality and loves to run around and have a good time! She enjoys playing with plastic springs and carrying her catnip toys around like little treasures. If you're sitting down, don't be surprised if Ringo climbs right onto you—and then decides your head is something fun to bite! She also has a talent for sleeping in the craziest positions imaginable, and she may even snuggle up with you in bed at night.
Ringo later met Screech and Cannoli, two boys who are also looking for their forever homes, and she quickly became one of the gang! Even though the boys are twice her size and sometimes play a little rough, Ringo can definitely hold her own.
Read more about Ringo Willow Grove Area
She also has foster sisters closer to her size and absolutely loves playing with them, too.
With her sweet nature, playful spirit, and silly little antics, Ringo is sure to bring lots of love, laughter, and entertainment to her forever home.
Ringo is playing with her foster family. Please submit a no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt today: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. Thank you! (Foster: Rachael S.).

Snicker is a little beauty with a tiger-striped coat the color of fall leaves and a sweet face that's impossible to resist.

If anything, it gives her extra charm and a look all her own. Snicker spends her days snoozing and her nights playing, with laser pointers and ball toys topping her list of favorites.When she's not racing around, Snicker is always up for pets and chin scratches. She loves to snuggle and zoom around with her brother Doodle, so she'd be thrilled to join a home with another playful companion.

Adopting a cat in Trenton
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.
