Elizabeth's Story
Elizabeth is a wonderful little girl who was found living in the streets of Schenectady. She was “trapped” along with 6 others last fall. She is a sweet girl who though not crazy about being carried around is very interested in being pet and “hanging out with you”. Elizabeth would do best as an only pet but can coexist with other cats. Dogs on the other hand are a different sorry as she has let us know that she will flat out refuse to live with any dogs. She would be great for a senior/quieter home because she is a laid back type of cat and not one to play with children.
7/23/10 UPDATE: Elizabeth is doing wonderful. She currently has free run of place and has chosen to stay in the office area as “her” domain. She greets us each and every morning and will hang out w/ us while we are in the office working. She will talk to us on occasion too and looks forward to us reaching over to pet her. We did have a couple of other cats hanging out with her for a while. She accepted Boris to stay with her (don’t forget it is “her” domain LOL) and they seemed to coexist just fine. However when the other was there, she refused to share the food bowl and would on occasion hiss at her if she came too close or wanted to use her bed. She did not chase her or go after her but rather when she felt that the other was invading her space she would verbally let her know about it. Otherwise everyone was fine hanging out together. Elizabeth is ready to move into her new home. If you would be interested in meeting Elizabeth, please feel free to contact us for an appointment as well as fill out an adoption application located on our website. Please allow 24-48 hours for us to respond to any applications as we are an all volunteer group. Thank you.

7/23/10 UPDATE: Storm is one special and very spoiled little girl. She LOVES “her” cage cause that is her bed. We have tried to move her to another where she would be able to visit w/ more people and she told us that was not hers and to move that cat out of “her” cage. We were washing her bed and she would not even sit down until we gave it back to her a couple hours later. All the while meowing at us to let us know not to forget LOL. She is really something special and has stolen the hearts of all of us here. She came to us back in September of 2009 when she was only about six weeks old. We cannot believe that no one has wanted to adopt her yet. She has the shiniest sold black coat and just a really pretty little girl w/ personality plus. If you are interested in more information or giving our little Storm a new forever home, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. All of your questions will be answered when we contact you. Thank you.


7/23/10 UPDATE: Penelope has been with us since she arrived with Storm and Angel back in September of 2009 from an abandoned property in Washington Co. She is doing well and we still have not seen an ounce of aggression from this sweet girl. To us it seems as though she is becoming a little depressed as she will not even lift her head at times when we are giving her attention. She is still shy but we believe that once in a new home and given a chance that she will come around and be a nice and sweet companion to someone. She would do best in a quieter home and without dogs or young children.

Cats Available for Adoption
7/23/10 UPDATE: Angel is a pure breed Lynx point Siamese. She is about 2 years old at this time and was one of the Easton Cats that came from the abandoned property last September. She is a shy little girl who has decided that she enjoys being pet. She will purr and even get her little toes going. She is however a true Siamese and true to her breed she has her “leave me alone” attitude as well. She has the most big beautiful light sky blue eyes that look almost like you can see right through them. She is very attentive and it is funny to see her watch your every move. She is a beautiful cat and we think that she knows it too. Anyone interested in more information on Angel should visit our website and fill out the adoption application. All of your questions will be answered when we contact you.

Bow Tie & Rico's Story
7/23/10: These two boys are about a year + old. They are black and white tux cats that came to us from a home where there were WAY too many cats in the home. We were able to get them all out and now they are looking for their new forever homes. Though they are shy because they have been in our care for just under a week, they were really good for their bath and dry and even the vets said that they were good boys during their time with them. No aggression whatsoever and can be picked up and held. We believe that once they get into and become comfortable in their new home, these two boys will be just as sweet as can be. They do not have to be placed in a home together however if anyone is interested in both, I am sure that they would be thrilled. For more information on Bow & Rico, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. One of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time.
8/10/10: Bow Tie & Rico are sweet boys who are just taking a little time to adjust to their new surroundings but are coming out of their shell nicely. Two of the handsomest cats you meet. So far we feel that they would do best in a home without dogs (since they haven’t been around them) and with children over the age of 10 yrs old. But that could change as they become more comfortable. We are hoping that they will be able to go on their first meet & greet soon.


Steinway & Bach's Story
7/23/10: Steinway & Bach are two wonderful little boys that are only about 3+ months old. They are sweet as can be and like to cuddle. They will even lay on their backs in your arms like a baby. Of course we would love to see them find their new forever home together, however they can be separated as well. These are two little piano keys that you will want to play with day in and day out. If you are interested in more information about these boys please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. One of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any other questions you may have at that time.
8/10/10: Steinway & Bach also went on their second outing to Dawgdom this weekend. They are truly two amazing little boys. They are currently about 15-16 weeks old and if you can believe it still looking for their new forever home. Though we would LOVE to see these boys find a home together, they do not need to. These boys would love to have a family and even children to play and cuddle with.

Debbie's Story
7/23/10: Debbie is primarily white w/ black “blotches” here and there. This little girl is only about a year old. She has long flowing hair and a fluffy tail. She came from the same home as Bow & Rico. With the same personality, this little girl is quite sweet once she settles in. Right now because we have only had her for a little less than a week, she is still a bit on the shy side but will defiantly make someone a great companion if given the chance. If you are interested in meeting or would like more information, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. One of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time.

Jocelyn's Story
7/23/10: Jocelyn is primarily white with black/tiger striped “blotches” here and there. She is only about a year old or so. She too has long flowing hair and a fluffy tail. She is still quite shy due to the fact that she has only been with us for a little less than a week. She too came from the same home as Debbie, Bow and Rico. She is really something to look at for sure because her markings are so unique. If you are interested in more information about this little girl, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. Once received one of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time.
8/10/10: Jocelyn went on her first outing with us this past weekend at Dawgdom in Saratoga. She did wonderful! She was very nice and sweet and even let us hold her while a couple wanted to meet her and pet her. Though she hasn’t been adopted yet, we are hopeful that this precious little girl who is just as gentle as can be will find her new home soon. Anyone interested in meeting Miss Jocelyn should visit our website and fill out the adoption application. One of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time.

Pino's Story
7/23/10: Pino also came from the same home as Jocelyn, Debbie, Bow and Rico. He is a long haired black and white tux cat about 5+ months old. He is super sweet and definitely something special. Currently in a foster home he is getting along great with the other cats and even curled up next to his foster mommy to go night night with her. If you are interested in more information about this little boy, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. Once received one of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer all of your questions at that time.


Pepsi, Coke & Sprite's Story
In order: Coke (all black and fluffy. ADOPTION PENDING), Sprite (grey/white and slightly fluffy) and Pepsi (blk/white also quite fluffy):
These precious little ones believe it or not came from the same home with too many cats along with all the others. They are about four weeks old at this time. Though their eyes are all blue right now, we do expect them to change color eventually due to their young age. They are not ready to go into their new forever homes for at least another 4-6 weeks but we are accepting applications at this time for anyone interested in giving them a new forever home. Coke will have really long hair and is a bit more on the independent side so far. Sprite we are unsure of the length however we believe that it will be a bit longer than a domestic short hair and has a very entertaining personality. And Pepsi will have the long hair that will lay a bit flatter. She is the cuddlier of the group. These babies have personality plus!! We do not “hold” any of the animals in our care so if you are interested, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application. We will be approving applications for all of the kittens in our care and be finalizing the adoptions. Once the adoption is in progress, we will mark them as pending. This does not mean that they have been officially adopted yet and we are still accepting applications. Once the adoption has been completed, that is when we will move them or mark them as adopted and when they come of age they will move into their new forever homes. Once an application is received, one of our volunteers will contact and you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time.
