Bring some magical energy into your home with this dynamic duo! PLease meet Fred and George!

Fred - FCID# 10/5/2026 - 11: domestic short hair buff cat. Fred is a rambunctious, purring machine. He doesn't like being contained, but once he's in a safe environment, he will follow you around and constantly try to cuddle you. He likes running around and cuddling with his brother George.

George - FCID# 10/5/2026 - 12: domestic short hair orange cat. George is quieter and calmer than his brother Fred, but still friendly and gentle. He loves cuddles and relaxing. He would do better in a house either with his brother George or another cat.

Both are about 14 weeks; up-to-date on vaccines; litter trained. They have not been around dogs. The brothers reluctantly allow my 2 and 5 year old to pet them but run at loud noises. The kittens prefer to be in the company of calmer humans.

2. Dollar C

Adult · Male · Tuxedo (short coat) · 3 mi from Media

LAP CAT ALERT!!! Meet Dollar — a sensitive, affectionate cat with a gentle heart and a deep love for being close to his person.
Dollar is the kind of cat who will happily curl up in your lap for as long as you will let him. He is a true companion cat who simply wants to be near you, whether you are relaxing on the couch or even just sitting down for a quiet moment.
Because Dollar is a sensitive soul, he does best with a calm and patient environment. If voices get loud, he will quietly retreat to his favorite safe spot until things feel peaceful again. He is very in tune with his humans and seems to understand when he has done something that is not allowed.
He is not especially interested in traditional cat toys like balls, springs, or wand toys, but bring out a laser pointer and Dollar comes to life.

Read more about Dollar C

It is by far his favorite kind of playtime, and watching his excitement is sure to make you smile.
Dollar has a squeaky little meow, long legs, and an easygoing attitude about where he sleeps. As long as he feels safe and comfortable, he is happy to settle in just about anywhere.
Dollar came from a home with many other cats and is now looking for a fresh start after his former owner unfortunately lost their housing. Through it all, he has remained a loving and adaptable companion.
He gets along well with other cats and kittens, but he has not been around dogs or children, so slow introductions would be best if either are part of his future home. Dollar would likely thrive in a quieter household with someone who appreciates a loyal lap cat and understands that sensitive cats blossom when they feel secure.
Dollar is estimated to be 5 to 7 years old. He is playing with his foster family and the resident cat and is enjoying watching the world through the front window.

8. Phoenix

Adult · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Tabby / Mixed (long coat) · 4 mi from Media

PHOENIX IS READY TO RISE AGAIN ❤️.
Meet Phoenix, a beautiful, big, fluffy, long-haired boy with the sweetest heart. Phoenix thought he had already found his forever home. He was adopted about a year ago, but sadly, he was returned.
After spending a year living in a home, Phoenix didn’t understand why he suddenly found himself back in a cage. One day he had a house and a family, and then everything familiar to him was gone. It was a confusing and heartbreaking change for this sweet boy.
Thankfully, Phoenix is now enjoying life with his foster family, where we’ve been able to learn more about what will make him happiest in his forever home.
And Phoenix has made one thing pretty clear: he wants to be your one and only! ❤️
Phoenix was not happy sharing his home with other cats, so he is looking for a home where he can be the ONLY CAT.

Read more about Phoenix

He doesn’t want to share his people, his space, or his kingdom with another kitty—and that’s perfectly okay! Phoenix has more than enough love and personality to fill a home all by himself.
Phoenix is a gentle giant who simply loves companionship. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention every second. He’s perfectly happy just being in the same room with his people, relaxing nearby and knowing that he belongs. His gorgeous long fur is wonderfully soft, and when that big purr starts, it’s hard not to fall in love.
He may be laid-back, but don’t let all that fluff fool you! Phoenix has his playful moments too. Every so often the zoomies strike, and watching this big fluffy guy race around is guaranteed to make you smile. He’s also a tidy gentleman who appreciates having his litter box scooped daily.
Most of all, Phoenix deserves another chance at forever. He already knows what it feels like to have a home and then lose it. Now he needs someone who will choose him knowing exactly what he needs: a loving home, devoted humans, and no other cats competing for his heart.
Phoenix isn't asking for much. He just wants to be your one and only cat—and this time, forever. ❤️.
ONLY CAT. Currently enjoying his foster home. ❤️ Ready for a forever family.
Note: There is a photo of Phoenix from about a year and a half ago, with all of his glorious fur. Be ready with a brush and a comb when as his fur grows back!
Phoenix is looking forward to your visit in our Brookhaven PetSmart adoption center.

    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.

Adopting a cat in Media

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.
