Meet Tiger!

Tiger is a sweet, trusting, little guy with a big heart and an adorable personality! His estimated date of birth is 10/5/2025. Poor Tiger was found in a neighborhood and appears to be a dumped pet since so friendly. Sadly, no one ever claimed him.

He adjusts quickly to new surroundings and seems to take life in stride, making him a wonderful candidate for a loving forever home.
One of Tiger’s sweetest qualities is how he reaches out for affection from his foster mom. When he’s feeling comfortable and content, he makes the cutest little air biscuits!

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 23 mi from Reading

Meet Valentino - a husky personality in a cat suit! He’s a gorgeous, diluted orange-and-white fellow who was recently neutered via a local TNR program (hence his stylish ear-tip). He is a safe and well-cared-for outdoor kitty. However, Valentino is a small chatty cat with a massive personality, as many orange boys do. Valentino has made it very clear that he thinks he is destined for a more luxurious life, with more attention than his current feral foster mom can give him.
If you’ve ever wanted someone to celebrate when you come home, Valentino is your frontman!

Read more about Valentino

The Ultimate Welcome Committee: Valentino is a young adult cat with a voice like an old, beautiful, chain-smoking jazz legend. If you leave the house, he bellows a tragic ballad; when you return, he loudly rasps a joyous anthem to celebrate your return. He would be the perfect match for someone who loves a chatty companion. Or someone is easily distracted. He won’t let you forget to feed and adore him!
A Bit of Orange "Spice": Valentino is very affectionate; he loves chin scratches, snugs, and lets you hold him. He gets the most adorable acrobtic zoomies on occasion. He's playful and "highly" responsive to catnip.
The Dream Setup: Valentino’s dream scenario is an owner who loves spending time relaxing on a porch, patio, or in a sunroom, where Valentino can lounge right beside them and soak up the love. Whether he becomes a pampered indoor cat (Yes! He uses a litter box!) or the king of a secure porch, he just wants a dedicated audience.

Our Safety-Net Promise: We want Valentino to find his true forever fans. If you are willing to give this passionate, quirky guy a shot, we offer a total safety net: if it turns out not to be the right fit, his foster mom will gladly take him back, no questions asked. Valentino is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to bring a lot of character, loyalty, and raspy conversation to your life!
If you have interest, please file your application and Valentino's foster mom will respond ASAP!!

to be brushed, loves to lay near you. He lays by his foster Dad’s feet in bed with him. He loves to talk and always wants to be where his person is. Likes to play with the kitty wand, his interactive play mat, toy mice loves looking out the window to watch the birds & squirrels. We don’t know how he is with other cats, probably best if he is an only cat, as he wasn’t particularly fond of the cats outdoors, likely because of the lack of food and having to fight for it. He’s being fostered in a separate area of the home, as his foster family has other cats. His foster family says he is probably the sweetest guy they’ve ever had. He is at least 5 years old, neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, vaccinated, dewormed and can be microchipped prior to adoption. His adoption fee is $125.

Why adopt an adult cat in Reading

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.
