2. Taylor C
Kitten · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 7 mi from Downingtown




Hi, my name is Taylor!
I am a sweet tabby girl with a bit of tawny brown that's different from my twin sister Tyler.
I have 4 siblings that make great pals, if you can take one home along with me. I love them all and have no favorites. We are all easily adaptable, outgoing and love being scooped up and kissed. The perfect kittens right out of the box! Our mom doesn't meow but instead squeeks so that's what we learned, too. We speak in little trills and squeeks.
Please visit me and my foster family in Wilmington, DE and say hello!
I am ~2.5 months old, spayed and vaccinated but am too young to receive my rabies vaccination.
My siblings are:
Whistle #09/17/2026-61, adopted 10/16/26.
Kady #09/17/2026-58, adopted 10/03/26.
Tyler #09/17/2026-60,
Screech #09/17/2026-62 (my only brother), adopted 10/16/26.
Note: I need to have a kitty playmate.

6. Gretal
Young · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 7 mi from Downingtown




Hi! I’m Gretal! I am energetic and love playing with a ball with a bell, stuffed toy mouse and spring toys. I am cuddly and purr when held. I am curious about the world and think humans are very interesting. I play footsie under the door with my older feline housemates. I’m not familiar with the species “dog” but have met small humans.
Gretal was playing with her foster family. She is now playing in our West Chester PetSmart adoption center with her condomate Squiggy.
If you are interested in two kittens, Gretal and Squiggy have become quite the pair. Squiggy seems very fond of his cagemate Gretal.
Read more about Gretal
We get the cutest stories -- he was out while she was still in the cage, and he kept going over to check on her, even reaching up to put a paw near her. On another shift, Gretal was getting eye meds, and the volunteer noted Squiggy was very concerned and came over to watch intently. They're usually curled up near each other in the condo.
Please stop into our West Chester PetSmart adoption center and have some kitten-fun!

7. Squiggy C
Young · Male · Tuxedo (short coat) · 7 mi from Downingtown




Check out his whiskers and floofy tail!!! Squiggy was found sitting in the middle of a street in Chester. He literally walked up to his rescuer as if to say, "Help me." She picked him up and he hasn't looked back since. He was covered in fleas and anemic but now he's healthy and looking forward to finding his special human.
Squiggy is currently in our West Chester PetSmart adoption center, contentedly sharing a condo with Gretal. He enjoys exploring all the nooks and crannies at the Center, watching Gretal and chasing wand toys anything that you toss, of course. But what he will love the most, even more than making biscuits and purring, is going to be you!!

One of our West Chester PS adoption center volunteers was watching Squiggy play happily with a wand toy held by a little boy and noted comments from the boy's mother about how Squiggy and his cagemate Gretal were cleaning each other and cuddling together.

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 Downingtown
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.
