This week’s featured cat is Haile. She is available for adoption through Project MEOW.

It’s not known how Haile got the burn scar on her back leg (she had it when Project MEOW pulled her from ACCT), but hopefully that hasn’t kept people from seeing just how wonderful this girl truly is. She’s a laid back, playful and lovable kitty who would make the very best Valentine for many many years.

Haile is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, FIV/FeLV negative, flea treated, and de-wormed. You can see her at Baltimore Pet Shoppe (4532 Baltimore Ave) and fill out an application to adopt or email projectmeowadoptions [at] gmail.com to meet this lovely lady calico.

Maddie is an adorable ball of energy and cuddles, who will keep you smiling, laughing, and loving every minute shared with her! She’s a petite eight-month-old kitty with the cute quirk of a tail that curls like a question mark, further adding to her lovebug appeal.

She doesn’t mind her foster parents’ dog, and even got the grumpy older lady cat of the house to yield to her kittenish charm and play. This little gal loves all kinds of toys, and to be cuddled and pampered.

Maddie is spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative, flea treated, de-wormed, and litterbox trained. Please contact projectmeowadoptions[at]gmail.com to meet her or stop by the Baltimore Pet Shoppe at 4532 Baltimore Ave.

Adoption application and fee apply.

Update (Jan. 29): Speckles has been adopted.

West Philly residents Jen and Rachel are looking for a forever home for their cat Speckles. Here’s what Rachel wrote us:

“Speckles is a young – about 8 months old – tortoiseshell cat. She was an outside cat in a colony in West Philly who was almost fully socialized when we did her TNR (trap neuter release). Then she had an infection after her spay surgery and needed to be back inside to recover and get medications. Once we brought her in for recovery and realized that she enjoyed being inside and would make a great pet we couldn’t imagine putting this sweet girl back out. Plus, now she loves to be around us, although is shy at first with strangers.

Whenever we visit her in her room (we have other cats so we are keeping her separate for now), she purrs, cuddles, and loves to get pet. I seriously would never imagine that a few months ago she was afraid of people! She is about 7-8 months old, FeLV and FIV negative and looking for a new home. We have begun to let her out with our other cats and she seems more interested in them than they are in her, so she would probably do well in a home with other friendly cats.

She has been treated for fleas, de-wormed, and been vaccinated for rabies. We are hoping to collect a sliding scale adoption fee of $25-$60.

This week’s featured cat is O’Malley. O’Malley was living as a Philadelphia street cat, but his affectionate personality makes everyone think that he was somebody’s pet in a former life. As luck would have it, he found his way into the neighborhood of a City Kitties volunteer. After patiently waiting for weeks until a foster home was available, O’Malley finally got his turn for the opportunity to find a forever home.

He initially didn’t know what to make of life indoors, but it was only a matter of time before he was right at home. This former tough alley cat can now be found playing with toy mice, rolling over for belly rubs, and grooming his foster brother, Tiny Tim. O’Malley loves attention and does not discriminate when it comes to the source. He is extremely talkative, ensuring that you haven’t forgotten about him with his loud and unique “meow.”

O’Malley is an extremely laid-back, low-maintenance guy. He tolerates the constant pestering and teething of Tiny Tim and regularly allows him to sneak a few licks of Fancy Feast from his plate at mealtime. He even politely waits until Tiny Tim walks away from the kitten food before moving in for a chance at some leftovers.

O’Malley will likely be a perfect fit for any type of household whether as an only kitty or with some 4-legged siblings. He is adorably gentle with kittens and seems to enjoy ‘fatherhood.’ He has not had the opportunity to interact with young children or dogs, but he should not have issues with either.

O’Malley is about 2-3 years old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, received a fecal exam to test for parasites, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

We haven’t featured cats available for adoption for a couple of weeks, so this week we are presenting two of them.

Howard ended up in animal control when his owner surrendered him. He was 18 lbs at intake, but after two months in the stressful shelter environment, he lost 4 pounds, more than 20% of his body weight! Once he was in a comfortable foster environment, Howie’s appetite came back, and he looks great! He loves to be around people and wants to follow his foster mom everywhere. He is a little nervous around new kitties, but never aggressive – he just needs some time to adjust to them. Howard loves to curl up next to his people and purr, and purr and purr. If you sit down with him for a minute, Howie will rub against you, flop down, and roll over for pets. He is such a sweet guy! Howard would prefer a home without a dog, but he should do really well with kids, given his gentle nature. Please give this big boy the forever home he deserves!

Howard is about three-five years old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, tested/treated for fleas/parasites as needed, and uses the litterbox.

Jenni was rescued form a junkyard along with her rambunctious kittens during an early snowstorm. She will start to purr just by talking to her. When you actually pet her, look out! She is a true lap cat. She loves to get on laps and be petted and just purr away. Jenni doesn’t really play with other cats, but she does like to play with toys, preferably ones with bells, whistles, rattles, etc. She isn’t a fan of loud noises or boisterous households, so she would do well in a quiet home by herself or with another laid back kitty.

Jenni is one-two years old, spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, uses the litterbox, and was treated for fleas and parasites as needed.

Both cats are available for adoption through City Kitties. If you have questions about either one of them or want to meet them, please visit this page for more information.

This week’s featured cats are Peanut (pictured left) and Butters. They are sweet, playful kittens who love snuggles, all kinds of toys, and making you laugh and smile with their adorable antics.

They’re OK with dogs, and would likely do well with children, given their gentle nature. If not adopted together, then it would be best for them to go to homes where there are other animal companions to keep them company.

Peanut and Butters are neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative, de-wormed, and flea treated… and waiting for their home(s) for the holidays with you! Please contact projectmeowadoptions[at]gmail.com to meet them. Application and fee applies.
