1. 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.

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.).

2. Lilac, Willow Grove PA 01/27/2026

Adult · Female · Siamese / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Trenton

Lilac – Asthmatic - Traditional Siamese Mix
Lilac is affectionate and stunningly beautiful with thick, soft fur and blue eyes. She loves being brushed and petted. We have no idea how she became homeless, but she was living outside in a feral cat colony in Norristown PA. At the shelter, her breathing appeared labored. A veterinary exam with x-rays diagnosed asthma. She’s been closely observed in her foster home. Once she settled in, she no longer requires asthma medication. We haven’t determined what exacerbates her asthma. She tolerates, but doesn’t interact with, other cats. Unknown how she’d be with a dog. She needs a stable home life. Her adopter should be prepared to treat for asthma as needed.

Meet Chai Latte!
As beautiful and comforting as her name, Chai Latte is a gorgeous 2-year-old girl with stunning swirls of warm, rich Autumn colors. She is a biscuit maker and such a love bug

Chai Latte has spent far too much of her young life being a mama and trying to survive.

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 23 mi from Trenton

Meet Amy Poehler, an 8-year-old sweetheart who recently found herself in a bit of a plot twist. Surrendered through no fault of her own, Amy is understandably a little cautious in new places. She may hide at first, but just walk into the room and the purrs begin! Before long, she'll come out to say hello, rub against you, or settle beside you for some well-deserved pets, like a warm blanket on a chilly evening. Her adorable pink nose and beautiful green eyes, the color of the last leaves clinging to the trees, are hard to resist, but her affectionate personality is what will really steal your heart.Amy enjoys a little wand-toy play and loves her catnip toys, but mostly she just wants to be near her person.

After so many changes, she'll need a patient adopter who will let her adjust and blossom on her own timeline, just like the changing seasons. A cozy home with someone around to keep her company would be ideal. She hasn't been tested with other animals yet, but may enjoy a feline friend.Basically, Amy is looking for a comfy couch, a favorite human, some catnip, and absolutely no more unexpected plot twists. Give her a little time and patience, and this sweet girl will be ready to make herself right at home, with a mug of cider in your hand and a purring cat in your lap.Amy Poehler is FeLV/FIV negative, up to date with vaccinations, flea treated, microchipped, and spayed.

19. Cannoli

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Trenton

Meet Cannoli!
Cannoli is an approximately 6-month-old sweetheart who was trapped in North Philadelphia alongside his brothers, Creampuff and Strudel. After spending some time in foster care, his brothers decided they were happiest living outdoors and were TNR’d. Cannoli, however, had other plans—and he quickly made it clear that he was very happy to be an indoor cat!
Cannoli is extremely sweet, curious, and absolutely adorable. He has the cutest, most pathetic little meow… although it barely makes a sound! He loves looking out windows, especially when they’re open and he can enjoy all the interesting sights and smells.
When he’s not busy playing, Cannoli can often be found curled up asleep in something round, whether it’s a cardboard scratcher, a cat tree, or anything else that looks suitably cozy.
Cannoli is fostered with other cats and loves feline companionship.

Read more about Cannoli

He was understandably a little lost when his brothers left, but he quickly bonded with his foster buddy, Screech. The two love grooming each other, running around, and wrestling together. Since Screech’s siblings had already been adopted, Cannoli became a wonderful friend and playmate for him.
While it would be wonderful if Cannoli and Screech could find a home together, it is not a requirement. They enjoy each other’s company but aren’t glued to each other, so Cannoli could also thrive in a home with another friendly cat.
If you’re looking for a sweet, curious little guy with a quiet meow and a big personality, Cannoli may be your perfect match!

Meet Marci, bonded with Melissa!
Sweet little Marci is a super affectionate kitty, under a year old, and watching her blossom has been such a joy. When she first arrived, she was a shy, cautious little girl who needed time to feel safe. Thanks to the love and security of her foster home, Marci has truly come out of her shell and shown everyone what a loving kitten she is. She loves to snuggle
Marci has a gentle, easygoing personality. She gets along beautifully with other social cats and kittens and especially loves spending time with her bonded kitty friend Melissa (FCID# 07/24/2026 - 154, polydactyl).

She isn’t pushy or dominant and is perfectly happy having a feline friend by her side.
And beneath that once-shy exterior is quite the little snuggler! Marcie loves curling up with her person in bed and is also a big fan of soft, cozy cat beds where she can settle in and feel safe.
Marci has come such a long way from the timid kitten she once was. Now she just needs the final piece of her story: a loving forever home where she can keep blossoming.

Young · Female · Extra-Toes Cat (Hemingway Polydactyl) / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Trenton

Lap Cat Alert! Meet Melissa - Polydactyl, all 4 paws!
Beautiful Melissa is a 2-year-old brown and white tabby with the most adorable big polydactyl paws and an even bigger heart.
From the moment Melissa was found, it was clear that she was comfortable with people and had likely been someone’s pet until very recently. She was incredibly outgoing and friendly right from the start, showing none of the hesitation you might expect from a cat who had spent her life outdoors. Sadly, everything about her suggested that this sweet girl had been recently abandoned and suddenly found herself without a home.

Read more about Melissa, Willow Grove PA FCID/24/2026-154

Melissa's best friend is Marci, and the girls have become bonded. However, Melissa should be adopted into a home with another cat as she really enjoys the company of other felines.
Despite what happened to her, Melissa hasn’t lost an ounce of trust in people. She is extremely affectionate, loves attention, and is a true lap cat who is happiest curled up close to her human. She’s also wonderfully social with other cats and seems to make friends wherever she goes.
And then there are those paws! Melissa is polydactyl, giving her wonderfully oversized little “mittens” that only add to her charm.
Melissa clearly knows what it means to be loved. Now she deserves a family who will make sure she never has to wonder where she belongs again.

Meet our gorgeous Molly, a beautiful young girl with the most striking green eyes. Before being rescued from life on the streets, Molly was already a young mom, lovingly raising a litter of kittens. Now that her babies are cared for, it’s Molly’s turn to be someone’s baby.
Molly's story according to her rescuer,
"I was in an unfamiliar area when I spotted a very pregnant cat who immediately caught my attention. She had numerous scratches on her head and body and was clearly very hungry, yet despite everything she had been through, she was incredibly sweet and friendly.I soon realized there was a small colony of cats living beneath an abandoned car.

Of all of them, she was by far the friendliest, and knowing she was pregnant and vulnerable, I decided I couldn’t leave her there."
Molly is a gentle, sweet girl who enjoys affection and is beginning to settle into the comfort and safety of rescue. Staff describes her as playful and kind. So far, she also appears to be fine with other cats, frequently playful as well
We’re still getting to know this lovely girl and will share more about her personality as she becomes comfortable. One thing we already know is that Molly deserves a loving forever home where she’ll never have to worry about life on the streets again.
Molly is about 1-2 years old. Please check out her video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/y6kRE75C9jA .

27. Isle

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 2 mi from Trenton

Pure joy, nosy Rosie, laid back, independent, low maintenance are all ways to describe Isle. She is energetic and loves to play, either by herself or with her foster brother. She is curious and will be right with you to investigate what you are doing. She is very social and will "talk" to you, especially if she is hungry or mistakenly closed in a room. She adjusts very easily and is not a cat who hides, as she is very self confident. She has proven to be a great companion in which coming home to is a pleasure. Obviously she is quite beautiful with her plush fluffy tail, her medium long coat and outgoing personality.

28. Pearl Stone

Young (2 years 3 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 2 mi from Trenton

Sweet Pearl Stone has had a tough year! She was adopted as a kitten along and returned when her adopter could no longer care for her. Then she was adopted again this spring, but although her family loved her very much, she could not get along with her adopters’ other cat. Sometimes this happens; however, Pearl has gotten along fine with other cats in her first home and in her current foster home, so she does not need to be the only cat. Pearl can be a little timid at first in new places, but she warms up in one day, but her favorite place to be is in someone’s lap, and she loves getting scratched behind her ears. She is still young and playful, and she is good with kids. She wants to get her forever home (and this time really forever) soon. Who is going to adopt this adorable girl ?

29. Comet w/Rocket, Jenkintown PS

Kitten · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 20 mi from Trenton

Meet Comet & Rocket!
Comet and Rocket (FCID 8/5/2026-156) are approximately 5-months old gray tabby brothers who are as sweet and playful as they come! These handsome boys are bonded, and they do just about everything together — playing, wrestling, cuddling, and keeping each other entertained.
They look almost exactly alike and even share the same wonderful personalities. They are affectionate boys who love attention and enjoy interacting with the resident cats in their foster home. They would be happiest finding a home together where they can continue being best buddies.
Rocket had a serious eye infection when he was just a couple of weeks old.

His foster family lovingly treated him, but unfortunately, he was left with a small scar on his eye that did not completely heal. Otherwise, Rocket is a happy, healthy kitten, and his eye does not stop him from doing what he loves most — playing and wrestling with his brother!
Comet and Rocket get along wonderfully with the other cats in their foster home. With a proper, gradual introduction, they should also do well with dogs and children.
These two sweet brothers have so much love and fun to give. If you're looking for a pair of affectionate, playful kittens, Comet and Rocket may be the perfect match!
Adopt Comet and Rocket together and give these bonded brothers the forever home they deserve!
Comet and Rocket were playing with their foster family. They are now playing in our Jenkintown PetSmart adoption center with Moon and Star while awaiting your visit.
Please submit a no-obligation application for a meet and greet to adopt today: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. Thank you! (Foster: Pat M.).

Adopting a cat with children in Trenton

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
