Hailey
Hailey is about 16 weeks old and a beautiful Tortie kitten with extra toes on her front feet that look like catcher's mitts. She holds her own against her 3 brothers and when they mock-battle, she is often the victor. She is very sweet, loves to snuggle and lets you hold her while she sleeps. She loves to play ball (what else do you do with feet that big?!). She seems to get along best with her brother Hamilton, but would love to go home with any of her siblings or another kitten. If you would like to meet her, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Hamilton
Hamilton is an orange, male tiger kitten about 4 months old. He seems to be the bravest of the litter, even though he's the smallest of his siblings. He loves to play and is the first to explore new things and meet new people. He really loves the older foster siblings in his foster home even if they don't care for him. He's always trying to rub up against them or give them kisses. He loves his sister Hailey, playing with any and all toys, and snuggling with his foster mom. He'd love to go to his forever home with Hailey and/or an adult cat. If you would like to meet him, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Higgins
Higgins
Higgins is a beautiful, buff-colored, male tiger kitten about 4 months old. His foster mom calls him her "shadow" because he follows her around the house wherever she goes. He's like most kittens - playful, snuggly, and always into something. He'd love to go to his forever home with one of his siblings or another kitten. To meet him, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Harry
Harry is an orange tiger male, about 4 months old, with extra toes on ALL his feet! His nickname is "Big Foot" (anyone remember "Harry and the Hendersons"?). He's got quite a swagger because of those extra toes and, while he's a little skittish with new situations, he's super snuggly, full of purrs, and just wants to be loved. He would love to go to his forever home with one of his siblings or another kitten. To meet Harry, please call 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Allie--also adopted!
My name is Allie, and I'm an adorable 3-month old-girl. From the moment I arrived in my foster home, I was perfectly content and totally unafraid. I immediately started playing with the other kittens and interacting with my foster family. I'm self-confident and full of energy. I go wild over feather toys, and you'll be amused by my acrobatics as I jump and play. I'm so cute and friendly. You'll really be missing out if you don't meet me! Just call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Ozzy--adopted!
Oreo--adopted!!
Ozzy and Oreo are 3 month-old-brothers. They are long and lean kittens with extra-long tails. They are very well-behaved and good-natured boys. They're super sociable and enjoy the company of people. They will curl up on your lap, snuggle next to you in bed, and even greet you at the door. They came from a home with dogs and kids, so they should do well in any home environment. If you'd like to meet them, please contact us at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Ash
Ash is a 3-month-old, rambunctious, and playful boy. He loves to rough-house with the others kittens in his foster home and is especially close to Sonny. Despite his energy, he is also a very affectionate, sociable kitten who loves to interact with his foster parents. He'll be a friendly companion and a great addition to any home. If you would like to meet him, please call 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Sonny
Hi! I'm Sonny and I'm 3 months old. I might be a little shy when you first meet me, but you will find me to be a super-sweet kitten. I'm very mild-mannered, while still playful. I love to interact with other kittens, especially Ash, who I've been fostered with. I enjoy being held and I'll purr when you pet me. I'll be a gentle and well-behaved addition to your family. If you would like to meet me, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Lancaster
Lancaster is a beautiful, black and white kitty--beautiful markings with a medium length coat. He is also a kitty that had been waiting a long time for a forever family, so AnimaLovers took him into our care. Although Lancaster had spent a lot of time by himself, he quickly adjusted to his new foster home. He loves playing with the other cat in the home, and his foster mom says he is sweet, friendly, and playful. We think he will probably be a great family pet! If you would like to meet him, please contact us at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Saxon
Saxon is a wonderful, 10-month-old, orange and white, male kitty. He is friendly with people and also with other cats. He enjoys playing with his toys when no one else is available to play with him! He has just learned from the other cats that sitting in the window and watching the activity outdoors is really cool! He has a very peaceful personality. Sound pretty perfect? Call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 to meet him. Top of Page
Tully--adopted!
Tanner--I was adopted too!
Tully and Tanner are 4-month-old brothers. They are beautiful dark orange tigers. Tanner is polydactyl, which means he has extra toes! They are a super sweet pair; very friendly and eager for attention. When they first arrived in their foster home they were a little hissy toward the other kitties, but that didn't last long. They quickly became great friends and rambunctious playmates! They'll make a wonderful addition to your family too! Call 448-5468, and press 1 to meet them. Top of Page
CeeCee
CeeCee--I was adopted!!
I might be the definition of charming! I'm quite the people pleaser--I'm a happy, friendly girl, and I'll be your family's best buddy! I love following my humans, and I'll be great keeping you company while you relax or read. And, I'm also a cat charmer--if you adopt me, I'll be making friends with any other cats you may have in no time! I'm really looking forward to having a permanent place with a family, so if you think I'd be a good fit for your family, please call AnimaLovers right away to meet me--448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line.

Tony
Tuxedo
Tuxedo
Tony and Tuxedo are brothers looking for a new home. They don’t look like brothers, but they are bonded and adore each other; we are working to keep them together. They are both a little shy at first; but, following their initial shyness, you will find that they are very social and love to be around people. They will enjoy sitting next to you, and Tony will be looking to be petted. If you would like to meet these boys, please call 448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line. Top of Page
Bear--adopted!
I'm a super-sweet, very affectionate boy. I was in a shelter that gets few adoptions...and even fewer for adult, black cats -- so they asked AnimaLovers to help me find a home. The volunteers there couldn't BELIEVE I wasn't adopted. Even though I had the double curse of being black and being an adult, they said I was so sweet and loving they really felt it would happen.

Well, it didn't happen there, but we'll make sure it happens here!! Bear adores his human family. If you're looking for a lap cat, this is your boy! He'll greet you at the door, be in your lap the minute you set down...and if you lay down, he'll be there too - probably lying on your chest for a while if you'll let him. He LOVES attention! Bear is estimated to be about three years old. He's playful and well-behaved. The first day in his new foster home he let his "mom" clip his nails (purring the entire time) and then promptly went to the scratching post! There are four males in his foster home and he is adjusting to all of them -- but his favorite is still his human family. Please consider giving this amazing boy a home. He is such love! For more information, call 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Fiona--Yeah! I was adopted!!
I am extremely affectionate—in fact, I will reach out my paw to get your attention when you walk by me. I need a home where I can be your best buddy. I will do best where I can be an only pet, spending a lot of time just hanging out by your side. For more information, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line.

Vincent
Before my friends at AnimaLovers took me in, I lived as a stray. A nice lady started giving me daily meals, so I wouldn’t be hungry any more, but she couldn’t give me a home. She called AnimaLovers and asked them if they would be able to find me a home. They had room in one of their foster homes and were able to give me a temporary home. I am a good boy and just need a little time to settle in. Once I do, I will be your buddy—I will be happy when I get sit on your lap (and, maybe sleep in your bed with you?). I also like to play with toys and—once we are properly introduced—other cats. I hope I can get my new home soon! If you would like to meet me, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line. Top of Page
Coco
Charley has found his home!
We're Coco and Charley—3-month-old brothers. We're handsome boys with very unique markings. We're friendly kittens and enjoy attention, but we're also quite independent and content to hang out with the other kittens in our foster home. We love cat toys, laser light pens and wrestling on the cat tree. You're sure to be entertained by our silly antics! If you are interested in meeting us, please call 448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line. Top of Page
Marley--I was adopted!
Molina--I was adopted, too!
Marley and Molina are 3-month-old sisters. They are both extremely outgoing. They're full of energy and love to wrestle and play, but they're just as content to curl up on your lap for some cuddle time. They get along great with the other cats in their foster home. They'll make a great addition to your family!Call 448-5468, and press 1 to learn how you can meet them! Top of Page
Topaz
I have been very blessed to live in a wonderful foster home where I have been able to play with lots of kids and other kitties, which I love! They were also able to get me the care that I needed because I was having seizures; they took me to the vet and now I am on an anti-convulsion medication and I have had no more seizures since I went on my medicine!

I love to have company—both human and feline! I follow my foster mom around and sit in her lap when she sits down for a moment. I love to wrestle, snuggle and groom my feline foster brothers. Even my feline foster sister will let me play with her, and she does not like to play with anyone! So I am extremely social and outgoing. I need to go to a forever home with another friendly, tolerant cat. Did I mention that I am great with kids? My foster family has three elementary school aged children and I love them and all their friends. When the third grader had 9 friends over for a sleepover, I let everyone pick me up and hold me. I am a friendly, sweet, affection, and lovable cat that just needs a forever home!

I will need to continue on my inexpensive medicine once I find my forever home. I take (one pill cut in two pieces) in a pill pocket without any trouble. AnimaLovers can tell you more about me—just call 448-5468 and press 1 for the Adoption line. Top of Page
Edison
Edison is a sleek, solid white two-year-old male with brilliant blue eyes. A local shelter contacted AnimaLovers when they didn't understand why he was scared and acted out. An AL volunteer quickly determined that Edison suffers from a common condition of blue-eyed, white male cats: he's deaf. Without hearing, he relies on sight and smell to alert him to danger, and, not surprisingly, doesn't react well when someone touches him from behind or moves too quickly for him to see them coming. To him, those actions are an attack - and he reacts accordingly. The AL volunteer took Edison home and gradually introduced him to her cats. His foster mom figured out two basic hand signals: one for "no" and another for "come".
Like most deaf cats, Edison is very aware of movement, including body movement and facial expressions. It only took him a day to learn what his signals meant, and that "no", he shouldn't hit his foster brothers and sisters. In return, they soon discovered that Edison only got upset when they "attacked" him from behind - and now approach him head-on when they want to play - so Edison gets along with all of them! He also loves curling up as close as possible to his foster mom to watch TV or read, and knows to "come" to get attention or treats. He enjoys high places, watching the second hand on the clock and chasing the laser pen and catnip mice. He's very smart, very curious, and very attentive to his foster mom's actions. He watches her carefully for signs of what she's going to do and how he should act. He's usually very quiet, but when he meows, it's very (very!) loud - another characteristic of deaf cats. Edison would do well as an only pet, although he would be fine with a cat companion who could quickly learn not to run up behind him. Because he doesn't like sudden or unexpected movements, a family with young children would NOT be a good fit for him. Please consider taking this handsome, loving boy into your low-key home. To meet Edison, call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Jude
Jude is such a handsome boy, and you will find that he is a friendly kitty that likes to follow you, even if he's not big on being picked up! Jude was rescued but didn't get along with the resident cat, so AnimaLovers is hoping to find a perfect home for him! He likes many other cats, and he likes humans, too. Call AnimaLovers to learn how you can meet Jude--448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line. Top of Page
Francesca
In April of year, Francesca was a tiny kitten when her foster mom noticed that she seemed to be having occasional difficulties breathing—gasping for breath. The vet found she had a heart problem that might be controlled through surgery; AnimaLovers decided to try to raise the needed money. We held several fundraisers, and the capital district’s animal lovers came through! Francesca’s surgery, performed in May of last year, was successful. Prior to surgery she was only 5 pounds; as of her check-up at the end of November, she had doubled her weight. Her foster mom notes that she looks great, now! She is also very sweet and loving. While Francesca will always be on medication, her foster mom says she takes her medication very easily—and, her medication is inexpensive. So, although many things went well for Francesca last year, she still does not have a forever home. We would REALLY love for her to have a permanent home--if you think you might be able to give that to Francesca, please call AnimaLovers at 448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
Cornelius
There I was...all by myself...a stray...no one to care for me. But, now AnimaLovers is going to find me a home! I'm very friendly; I love humans and would be so happy to have a human buddy! Call AnimaLovers if you would like to meet me—448-5468, and press 1 for the Adoption line. Top of Page
Becca
Becca is a small two-year old, black and white female with semi-long hair. Her bursts of playful energy will keep you entertained during waking hours, but if you awake during the night you're apt to find her lying quietly on the bed with you. Becca and her kittens were fostered by AnimaLovers volunteers. Becca's kittens have been adopted, and now Becca is spayed and ready to go home to her new, permanent home. Please call AnimaLovers to meet her--448-5468, and press 1 for the adoption line. Top of Page
