2. Kitten Spot

Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair (long coat) · 56 mi from Scranton

Meet Spot!
Spot is 5 months old, white with the most perfect black spots, and 100% convinced he is a dog.
He doesn't just walk into a room — he trots in, with that fluffy black tail in the air. He comes when called, follows you from room to room like a shadow, brings you his toys to play fetch, and will happily sit on your feet while you work. He loves a good pillow nap, but he'd rather be right next to you than anywhere else.
Found napping, playing, and posing like a pro, Spot has mastered:

Read more about Kitten Spot

The head-tilt stare that says "throw it again"
The paw-up "shake" (we're still working on it, but he's got the spirit)
The classic flop-and-roll for belly rubs
Guarding his favorite sage-green pillow like it's his job

He's playful, people-focused, curious, and incredibly sweet. Spot would love a home where he can be your little sidekick — on the couch, by the desk, or patrolling the hallway like the good boy he knows he is.
He's not a cat who thinks he's a dog. He's a dog who happens to look like a cat.
Age: 5 months Likes: pillows, people, toys that jingle, being included in everything Dislikes: being ignored, closed doors Superpower: making you laugh at least 10 times a day
Think you need a dog? Maybe you just need Spot.

Soft, slow blinks that mean “I love you”

Purring like a tiny motor the moment you sit down beside her

16. Ringo Willow Grove Area

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 91 mi from Scranton

Ringo is an adorable black-and-white tuxedo kitten with an approximate date of birth of June 29. She gets her name from the cute little white ring around one of her back legs!
Ringo was trapped with her feral mama, who wanted nothing to do with her. Luckily, Ringo was taken in and bottle-fed, so she is very comfortable around people and has grown into an extremely sweet, loving little girl.
This girl is full of personality and loves to run around and have a good time! She enjoys playing with plastic springs and carrying her catnip toys around like little treasures. If you're sitting down, don't be surprised if Ringo climbs right onto you—and then decides your head is something fun to bite! She also has a talent for sleeping in the craziest positions imaginable, and she may even snuggle up with you in bed at night.
Ringo later met Screech and Cannoli, two boys who are also looking for their forever homes, and she quickly became one of the gang! Even though the boys are twice her size and sometimes play a little rough, Ringo can definitely hold her own.

Read more about Ringo Willow Grove Area

She also has foster sisters closer to her size and absolutely loves playing with them, too.
With her sweet nature, playful spirit, and silly little antics, Ringo is sure to bring lots of love, laughter, and entertainment to her forever home.
Ringo is playing with her foster family. Please submit a no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt today: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. Thank you! (Foster: Rachael S.).

17. Moose

Young · Male · Tuxedo · 56 mi from Scranton

Meet Moose!
Moose is not your average house cat — he's a large gray tuxedo gentleman in a crisp white bib and mittens, and he knows he looks good.
This young adult male is big, soft, and wonderfully sturdy. He loves to be near his people, whether that's supervising from the couch, leaning in for chin scratches, or flopping over to show off that handsome tuxedo belly. He's playful in that goofy young-adult way — feather wands, crinkle balls, and batting toys around — but he also has a calm, affectionate side and is happy to just loaf next to you.
Moose is FIV+. What does that mean? It just means he carries the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

Read more about Moose

FIV+ cats can and do live long, happy, completely normal lives indoors. It can't be transmitted to people or dogs, and it spreads only through deep bite wounds between cats. Moose can live safely with other cats — especially other mellow cats — and many FIV+ and FIV- cats live together happily. He just needs to stay indoors, eat well, and get regular vet checkups like any cat.
If you're looking for a big, sweet, dapper companion with a lot of love to give, Moose is your guy. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region. Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.

4 Months 28 Days · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 59 mi from Scranton

Zora was rescued at 3 months old and needs to be adopted with her sister, Decker. Zora is the quiet sister who loves to nap and is slower to feel safe and secure in her surroundings. But when she does she loves to knead and make biscuits on your lap and reach up to give kisses. She plays but will stalk and watch silently first while her sister just jumps right in and rolls around with energy. Her fur is so soft as is her sister's. They are affectionately called the Powderpuff Girls by their foster mom.

    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.

Adopting a cat in Scranton

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.
