"Want a dog, but only have room for a cat in your life? Gem may be just the cat for you! This handsome 2-year-old tuxedo cat has gobs of good vibes and personality. He loves to play energetically and, as a bonus, he’s a cuddly, talkative guy." https://alamedapost.com/features/alameda-life/meet-faass-gem-of-a-tuxedo-cat/

Frankie is a gorgeous, blue-eyed 8-year-old sweetheart—mellow and full of love. Once he knows you’re safe, he’s all about cozy cuddle sessions and quiet companionship. He does well with respectful dogs and is looking for a home without other cats because he is FIV positive. https://alamedapost.com/features/alameda-life/sweet-senior-frankie/

During his time as a stray, Firework had a really rough time: He starved, lost an eye, and caught feline calicivirus, an upper respiratory infection that ultimately led to the removal of all his teeth. Despite it all, this boy has "the heart of a lion" and is confidently ready for a new home.

“Auggie is an incredibly smart, slightly crazy, and super loving kitty who only has two speeds: 0 or 100. He will be your permanent shadow," says the foster family of our adorable, adoptable Pet of the Week.

Benji is a gentle, cuddly sweetheart of a senior who went from a horrible hoarding situation in Alameda to the warm and loving hands of FAAS staff. To help clear out the shelter, all adult cat adoptions are now $20. If you’re 62 or older, adoption fees are waived for senior pets like Benji!

SE PA and Northern DE: If you are a relaxed night owl, Kalamata (FCID#12/28/2023-36) may be the perfect cat for you! After years on the streets, Kalamata remains cautious during the day & tends to find a hiding spot for the daytime hours. In the evening she is much braver & loves having cuddles and play time with her foster family. With a slow introduction and some patience Kalamata is sure to steal your heart. Apply to adopt at https://forgottencats.org/ #catsofmastodon #adoptablecats #caturday

Kalamata made me ugly cry tonight. After two and a half months we had our first fully out in the open play session. Every cat deserves a chance. Even the old ones. Even the ones with medical problems. Even the scared ones. This is why I foster.

Sunday Gravy is also available for adoption through PhilyPAWS.org. He’s a 5-year-old chonk who purrs like a mack truck. #CatsOfMastodon #AdoptableCats #PhillyCats #CatJawn
