Adult Cats for Adoption in Erie, PA: 30 Grown-Up Cats Looking for a Home

Adult Cats up for adoption near Erie, PA

Rescues and shelters within 100 miles of Erie have 149 adult cats up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Adult cats usually wait longer for homes than kittens, but their personalities are already settled, so you know just what you're getting: a lap cat, a chatterbox or an independent explorer.

1. Bartholomew

Young · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Domestic Long Hair (medium coat) · 91 mi from Erie

Meet Bartholomew! This handsome boy is the most outgoing and brave of his trio of brothers. Bart and his brothers were trapped as part of a feral colony TNR project, but because they were so young and friendly they came indoors to be spoiled at a foster home. After being trapped, Bartholomew went from a scared little kitten to a big lover in just a few days! He now greets his foster mom with meows, craves attention, and loves to snuggle. He is always happy to be around people and ready for some love!

Read more about Bartholomew

Like most young kittens, Bartholomew would be happiest in a home with feline companionship, so his ideal home will already have another friendly cat or be interested in adopting him with one of his siblings, Xander & Sebastian. Bartholomew has not yet met dogs but should adjust well to respectful canine friends. He is being fostered in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and is about 7 months old.

Bartholomew's adoption fee of $100 includes a negative test for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, topical flea prevention, and a microchip. If adopted with one of his siblings, the adoption fee for the pair is $150. Bartholomew's brothers are Xander & Sebastian. In a dream world, this sweet trio would all be adopted together!

Thank you for considering adoption—our adoptable cats can't wait to meet you!

Introducing Alaia!
Alaia is 1–2 years young, a sweet, curious girl with a personality that's becoming more adorable by the day!
She's the kind of kitty who likes to check things out, see what you're up to, and decide when it's time to join in. She's still getting comfortable with being petted, but she's making progress and showing us more of her charming personality every day.
And don't think for a second that Alaia doesn't know how to get your attention! When this girl wants some love, she'll happily announce it to the world. She's got opinions, she's got a voice, and she's not afraid to use it.
Alaia would be happiest in a calm, adult-only home where she can enjoy life at her own pace. She's not much for crowds, noisy environments, or busy little kiddos. A peaceful home with someone who appreciates her independent spirit would be just her style.
A little curiosity, a little conversation, and a whole lot of personality waiting to shine!

This polite little lady is just so happy to be inside and loved.

Meet Xao
(pronounced as Zaoww)
Xao is about 1-year young, little Xao is looking for a quiet, comfortable home and a special person to call her own.
Once she feels comfortable, Xao is sweet, enjoys pets, and likes spending time with her person. She’s more of a “hang out beside you” girl than a “pick me up and carry me around” kind of kitty—and there’s something pretty sweet about simply having her nearby.
Xao would be happiest in an adult-only home with someone who understands cats and will give her the time and space to settle in at her own pace. A little cat-whisperer experience certainly wouldn’t hurt!

Here's what Belle's caretaker has to say about her.

Belle! ❤️

She is a super sweet little girl that sought out a very nice lady and wouldn’t leave her side until she was picked up and toted home with her. ❤️

Belle warms up quickly to humans, she loves pets and attention. It seems she is apprehensive towards other cats but with a slow introduction I think she will do fine. My foster room has 9 other kittens in it, she is currently crated because she was spayed on Monday. She was not happy being put in the room the first two days, now she is doing ok and when she is healed she will be let out to intermingle if she feels comfortable with it.

Here's what Buddy's owner has to say about him!

Buddy Bio

Read more about Buddy

This is Buddy. He is 5 years old. I rescued from an outside blizzard where I heard a very loud kitten screaming. He was scared, cold and starving. He seemed to have been feral at the time with no human contact cuz he was scared to death of people. I had to live trap him to save him the cold. Buddy has came a long way since. He now is learning to more social and trust people. He loves other cats! He is very insecure but another cat makes him feel secure. He is very smart and a pretty big guy. His markings and size remind of a Savannah or a Bengal cat. He is beautiful. He knows his name and will blink at you slowly when you talk to him. He knows the word “bedtime” and will run upon the bed and really open up to being petted at bedtime and even meows for attention at bedtime until you pet him. He loves to eat and will also sit on command for a treat. He is very submissive to other cats. He has only been accepted by a few of the 7 cat household he lives in now. He headbuts with hugs them and rubs all over them. He would thrive in a quiet patient home with another cat to make him feel secure. She is super sweet boy that is slowly coming out of his shell but can tell he wants to trust. He as well has struggled in a 7 cat household and get chased and “put into his place” by the more dominate males. He deserves a quiet and patient home where he can relax and just be a cat with another cat as a friend. He absolutely loves his cat tree where he can relax alone and not be bothered by the other cats.! He loves to watch the birds outside too. He does fear being outside. This guy has a lot of potential to be very lovable cat without so many other cats keeping him on edge. He craves attentions and love but is outnumbered and out ranked in the house. He gets pushed off to the side as the other cats come in for attention and he will submiss to them.

Handsome Buddy is neutered and tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia. Buddy is not a Rose's Rescue cat, we are posting him in order to help his owner find him a new home. He is located in the Mogadore 44260 area. His adoption fee will be $50. Please TEXT ONLY Tammy at 330-730-9756 or email her at tamking1@netzero.net for more information about Buddy.

This is Obie. He is 5 years old. He was rescued from a man that found him in trailer park in the snow all alone under a trailer and no mama or siblings in sight when he was less than 3 weeks old and was bottle fed. I have had khim ever since. Obie is very sweet and “romantic” kitty. He loves to give head buts and rubs his face on yours. He loves to be smooched on and now exacly what smooches are. He is very smart. Sits on command for a treat and he loves his treats. He also hunts down bugs” I you say the word “bug”. He is very lovable once he bonds with you. At first he can be shy but full of love to give. He would do well in a quiet home as well. He has been in a 7 cat household and would love to have more attention all for himself. He loves to play with flying toys and he is very sporty and nimble. He does not meow…he also has a “chirp” when he talk to you. He knows his name and will talk (chirp) to you. He will have a whole conversation with ya! He is a very good boy and just wants one on one love without having to compete for it. Just full of love to give once he warms up to you. He loves to be baby talked to and gets flirty with ya when you do. He loves to sleep next to you UNDER the covers in bed. He loves to be covered up when sleeping and lets you “tuck him in” when you ask him. He is such a big baby at heart and loves to be babied. Loves peace and quiet as well. He is afraid of going outside and loud noises and storms but loves to look and chirp at the birds and bugs outside…from a window on the inside.

She loves to just hang out with you on your lap as she slants her head and gazes at you with love. She LOVES to be brushed and will come running if you ask if she wants brushed. She will cry for it if you are brushing you own hair. She is very smart. She is a very big girl cat and loves to eat she was starved at her first “home” and is always ready to eat.

Loverboy is just a big goofy and laid back cat weighing about 22 pounds. He don’t have a mean bone in his body and super super sweet big guy and loves everyone. He is a big loof and loves belly rubs and brushed. When you say “ let me see your belly”….he drops to the floor and rolls over so he can get his belly rubbed and lay on his back making ait biscuits. He is a very good foot warmer as he loves to plop down on ya when any chance he gets. He as well loves to eat for same reason as Marilyn. Will sit on command for a treat. He loves his little sister Marilyn and always grooming on her when she comes over for some big brother love. He loves EVERYONE and will be the first one to greet anyone that comes over. Everyone loves and adores him. He is very verbal and likes to talk. He loves to talk out the window at the birds. He and Marilyn can get playful when you bring toys out.
They both just love stroller rides outside. Both are very good at getting nails trimmed. Both these guys are really easy to love cats and lovable cats and just good cats.

30. Yoshi

Young (4 months 27 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 100 mi from Erie

Yoshi is an adorable 5-month-old boy who is looking for someone willing to give him a little time to show just how special he really is.

Yoshi and his littermates were trapped and brought into rescue with their mama. Because they didn’t get much exposure to people during those important first few months of life, Yoshi can be cautious with new people and new surroundings. He isn’t the kitten who will necessarily show you his whole personality on day one—but give him a little time, and you’ll get to meet the REAL Yoshi.

Read more about Yoshi

Once Yoshi realizes he is safe and can trust you, he is incredibly sweet, loving, playful, and affectionate. We’ve watched that personality come out, and multiple people who have spent time with him have seen what an amazing little guy is hiding behind that initial shyness.

Yoshi would do best in a calmer home with someone who understands that trust isn’t always instant. He needs a person willing to give him a few weeks to settle in, build a relationship, and learn that he is safe and loved.

And we’re willing to give YOU that time, too! Yoshi can go into a foster-to-adopt home so you can spend a few weeks getting to know one another and make sure it’s the right fit.

If you’re willing to invest a few weeks earning this boy’s trust, we truly believe the reward will be worth it. Sometimes the animals who make you work a little harder for their love end up giving you the very best kind.

Adoption is $175 which includes his neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.

Why adopt an adult cat in Erie

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
