Young (9 months) · Female · Snowshoe (medium coat) · 9 mi from Harrisburg

I'm Lily, a STRIKENLY BEAUTIFUL Snowshoe 10 month old kitten if I do say so myself! Bet you won't believe, but I was found as a stray wondering and taken in by a Good Samaritan Guardian Angels. It's figured I most likely was dumped as I showed up at these angels home just as friendly as all get out. My angels were so welcoming to me, took me in to stay for a while until a special rescue could be found to help me.

I'm great with other kitties and have been around dogs without issues. I'm OBNOXIOUSLY friendly and just want to be loved up all day long. One touch from my person gets my motor running Purrfectly.,

Kitten (4 months 29 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 1 mi from Harrisburg

Meet Stewart, or “Stuey” to his friends—a handsome white and gray boy with a huge personality and an even bigger love for being spoiled. After coming from a hoarding situation, Stuey has discovered just how wonderful life can be when you have a safe, cozy home, plenty of toys, and humans who understand that cats deserve to be treated like royalty.

Read more about Stewart

Stuey is playful, affectionate, and wonderfully mischievous. He loves romping around with his foster siblings or entertaining himself with springy toys and crinkle balls. When he’s ready to recharge, he transforms into a professional snuggler. He loves curling up against his human at bedtime and being carried around like the baby he clearly believes he is. He’s also happy to remind you when attention is overdue with an enthusiastic head butt—or by casually crawling across your chest and positioning himself directly between you and whatever you were looking at.

Stuey is good with cats, dogs, and children, and he’s ready for a forever home where he can continue enjoying all the good things he’s discovered. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful cuddlebug with just enough mischief to keep you laughing, Stuey is ready to be your new favorite little shadow.

19. Lucy

Kitten (4 months 12 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 9 mi from Harrisburg

Meet Lucy
Meet Lucy! The tiniest little package of personality you’ll ever meet!
This half-pint-sized buff beauty is truly one of a kind. Born in May 2026, Lucy was discovered completely by accident while a trapper was working to catch a different litter of kittens. The trapper had no idea Lucy was there… until she started screaming. And screaming. And screaming some more.
In fact, she was so determined to make herself heard that the trapper nearly stepped on her while trying to figure out where all that noise was coming from!
Thankfully, Lucy holds absolutely no grudges. This girl is far too busy being fabulous.

Read more about Lucy

♀️
Lucy has a BIG personality packed into her teeny-tiny body. She’s outgoing, confident, knows exactly what she wants, and is wonderfully respectful of the other kitties in her foster home. But what she wants most of all? PEOPLE. Lucy absolutely LOVES her humans and will happily snuggle, cuddle, and soak up affection whenever she gets the chance.
And when she’s not busy being your personal cuddle bug, Lucy is a bona fide kitten tornado! She adores springs, balls, wand toys, and especially her beloved butterfly spinning toy. She romps around with her foster kitty friends, plays to her heart’s content, and then crashes for a champion-quality kitten nap.
She’s independent enough to entertain herself, but always ready to join in when playtime or cuddle time comes calling.
Lucy is also exceptionally petite. We believe her mama was just a kitten herself when Lucy was born, which may explain why this little girl is literally about half the size of an average kitten her age. But don’t let her tiny stature fool you—Lucy is healthy, happy, and thriving! Our veterinarian has checked her over and given her a clean bill of health.
Lucy currently lives with lots of cats and kittens and gets along beautifully with all of them. She also lives with three dogs. She’s a little nervous around the dogs, so we think her ideal home would either include a friendly kitty companion or have another cat-friendly feline friend for her. If there are dogs in her forever home, they should be very calm, gentle, and uninterested in chasing or bothering cats.
And honestly… who could blame this tiny girl for wanting to feel safe?
Lucy is ready for the next chapter of her story—a forever home filled with toys to chase, kitty friends to romp with, cozy places to nap, and, most importantly, people who will adore her as much as she adores them.
If you’re looking for a tiny, affectionate, hilarious, playful little companion with a HUGE heart and an even bigger personality, Lucy may be your girl.
She’s ready to be someone’s baby. Could that someone be you?
Lucy is spayed, FeLV/FIV and heartworm negative, up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccines, dewormed, flea/tick treated and Microchipped. Litterbox trained.
Adoption fee is $150.00.
If you are interested in adopting Lucy, please submit an application at https://worthytails.rescuegroups.org/. If you have any questions, please contact Nichole at worthytailsanimalrescue@gmail.com.

Kitten (4 months 22 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 1 mi from Harrisburg

Don't let the name fool you. Button may be tiny, but this little girl comes with a BIG personality, an unlimited supply of energy, and enough charm to get away with just about anything.

This beautiful little black kitten has the most enchanting eyes, a sweet disposition, and a spirit that simply refuses to be contained. Button is spunky, strong-willed, ridiculously playful, and always ready for her next adventure. If it moves, she will probably pounce on it. If it doesn't move, she may pounce on it anyway, just to be safe.

Read more about Button

And if nothing exciting is happening? Well, Button has been known to chase her own tail for entertainment. Who needs a personal assistant when you can provide your own amusement?

But underneath all that kitten chaos is a complete and total lovebug. Button adores being held, loves cuddling, and seems to believe that purring is a full-time occupation. Scoop her up and you'll have a tiny, rumbling bundle of affection in your arms. She's sweet, snuggly, and happiest when she can be close to her favorite people.

Button also absolutely loves other cats and gets along wonderfully with her feline friends. She would be a fantastic addition to a home with other friendly cats. She's also suitable for respectful children and cat-friendly dogs who wouldn't mind being bossed around by a tiny kitten.

She's got the looks, the attitude, the athleticism, and the cuddles. She's a pocket-sized panther with the heart of a sweetheart and the energy of a kitten who has never once considered taking a

day off.

Button has been spayed, microchipped, dewormed, has had age appropriate vaccinations, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and is litter trained. If you are interested in adopting, apply on the Castaway Critters official website at https://www.castawaycritters.org/apply-to-adopt .

28. Lady Butterbumcakes

Kitten (5 months 4 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (medium coat) · 1 mi from Harrisburg

Please make way for Her Ladyship.

Lady Bumbuttercake is a sweet and affectionate tabby girl with a playful streak worthy of her royal title. She’s the sort who will spot her favorite human from across the room, trot over with her tail held high, and promptly request an audience—and some pets, naturally.

She loves wet food, treats, and pretty much anything that can be chased. Springs, wand toys, and the laser pointer bring out her inner huntress, and she takes her playtime very seriously. Once she catches her “prey,” she may proudly carry it off with tiny little growls as if she has just conquered the kingdom.

Read more about Lady Butterbumcakes

When the day’s adventures are over, Lady Bumbuttercake is perfectly content to curl up beside her people or kitty siblings. She especially enjoys snuggling under the blankets with her favorite human.
She’s good with cats, dogs, and children, making her a wonderfully well-rounded little lady.

Affectionate, playful, and just mischievous enough to keep things interesting, Lady Bumbuttercake is ready to claim her forever kingdom—and perhaps a prime spot on your bed.

Lady has been spayed, is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, is microchipped, litter trained and is negative for FIV/FeLV. If you are interested in adoption, visit Castaway Critters website to apply! https://www.castawaycritters.org/apply-to-adopt .

29. Lord Fluffernut

Kitten (4 months 18 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Tabby / Mixed (medium coat) · 1 mi from Harrisburg

INTRODUCING… LORD FLUFFERNUT

Please address him properly. His Lordship has arrived.

Lord Fluffernut is a distinguished tabby-and-white gentleman born around the end of April 2026, and he takes his duties as Lord of the Household very seriously. His responsibilities include inspecting every corner of the estate, supervising his human staff, keeping tabs on his siblings, and ensuring the treat supply is properly maintained.

Read more about Lord Fluffernut

He is clever, adventurous, and endlessly curious. The moment he arrived at his foster home with his sister, he was ready to conduct a full inspection of the premises. He loves discovering new places and finding creative ways to explore, and there always seems to be a new adventure happening when His Lordship is around.

Of course, no proper lord would neglect his subjects. Lord Fluffernut makes regular rounds to check in with his favorite humans, and when he decides it is time for affection, he’ll seek you out, look directly into your eyes, and give a soft little meow requesting to be picked up. Once settled into your arms, the royal purr begins immediately.

His Lordship is also quite social and enjoys the company of both humans and fellow felines. He loves chasing his siblings, playing with wand toys, and conducting important investigations involving the laser pointer.

And then there is the matter of refreshments. Lord Fluffernut is an enthusiastic connoisseur of cuisine and is happy to sample just about anything. Lickable treats, Greenies, and Vital Essentials Minnows are among his preferred offerings. His staff should consider this information very important.

He also has one particularly perplexing interest: the toilet. Despite being hilariously suspicious of water, Lord Fluffernut is fascinated by the mysterious phenomenon of the toilet flushing. A true scholar, he insists on observing the process personally.

Lord Fluffernut is litter trained and gets along wonderfully with cats, dogs, and children. He’s affectionate, playful, clever, and adventurous, with just enough independence to maintain his dignity.
He is currently accepting applications for a forever household. Suitable applicants should be prepared to provide comfortable sleeping quarters, regular entertainment, generous affection, and an acceptable supply of treats.

His Lordship will be reviewing applications
shortly.

James has been neutered, is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, is microchipped, litter trained and is negative for FIV/FeLV. If you are interested in adoption, visit Castaway Critters website to apply! https://www.castawaycritters.org/apply-to-adopt .

Merlin is a playful full of personality little man. He loves to play tag with his fellow fosters and loves to play with toys. Once he is tired out he is more than happy to snuggle in for a nap with you.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
