Those who say cats can survive outside should reconsider. An animal loving mail carrier in Catawissa came across 15 cats in a yard on her route. Anyone could see this was a sickly group. She put food down and they all came quickly running. It was unsure if the property owner was even feeding them. Luckily they were all friendly, but they needed immediate medical care. ARC came to their aid and had them to the vet as fast as we could get appointments. All had varying degrees of upper respiratory infections, ear mites, fleas, lice and diarrhea. They wouldn’t have much time if left as they were. 

Sapphire and her sweet Chaz both came from this colony, though they did not find their love until they spent some time here at the shelter. Now they are nearly inseperable! They can often be found snuggling on the porch, lazily eyeing up the bunnies while entangled in each other. It is for this reason that we desperately hope to find a loving home that is open to adopting both of these darlings together.

Sapphire has become a shining jewel. She came to us in a sad state. She suffered from an upper respiratory with a few bouts of labored breathing, she had course fur and and a mouth full of rotten teeth. You could see the pain in her eyes. Fast forward a few months with good veterinary care and Sapphire is like a new cat! She's recovered from her health issues and had a full dental with many teeth removed, resulting in her tongue comically sticking out from time to time. She feels so much better now and her true friendly and even playful nature is coming out. This pretty, petite, orange and brown tortoiseshell tabby has large eyes and a gentle nature and the best purr in the world. She's estimated to be about 7 or 8 years old. Please consider giving this deserving gal that has been through so much a loving forever home.

Chaz's profile can be found at www.petfinder.com/petdetail/35068780

Both Sapphire and Chaz are FeLV/FIV negative, up to date on shots, litter trained, dewormed and spayed/neutered.  If you are interested in adopting Sapphire and Chaz, please contact Michelle at 570-759-0920.

Jenny was born outside and spent her first five years living in a cat colony in Berwick. She was one of the original kittens born in the colony when someone got a cat as a gift and just left it outside. She has  seen a lot of cats come and go in her time there.  The colony's caregiver started to notice how friendly Jenny had become.  She was different than the more cautious cats in the colony.  She felt she needed  the chance to know the love and warmth of a home so she called us.  Jenny took some time to acclimate to the shelter. This was the first time she was ever indoors. Born in 2012 she never knew the warmth and protection of being inside. She has acclimated more and more each day and she is a sweetheart. She is friendly and likes attention and to be pet. She is a gentle girl who gets along with other cats. She has a pretty tabby coat with a white chest, white face and white mitts. She's got a cute little pink nose.  Will you be the one to give Jenny her chance at a safe and loving inside home?  Jenny is FeLV/FIV negative, up-to-date on shots, litter trained, dewormed and spayed. If you are interested in adopting Jenny  please contact Michelle at 570-759-0920.

Jade is a black tiger striped tabby female approximately four years old.  She was left behind alone in an apartment by a tenant in Danville after they moved out. The landlord tried to acclimate her with her own cats but Jade had some trouble.  Jade is getting used to other cats being at the shelter now. She wants affection and to be pet, but she can be a little sassy. She has big large eyes and a round face making her awfully cute. She loves snacktime and catnip.  Jade would be better in a quieter home without small children.  Jade is FeLV/FIV negative, up-to-date on shots, dewormed, litter trained, and spayed. If you're interested in adopting Jade please contact Michelle at 570-759-0920.

This exotic beauty is Missy. We've never seen a cat quite with her looks. She has a deep dark gray coat with large expressive eyes. Her coat is black, but seems to have a gray undercoat which gives her a dark gray appearance. Her fur feels as soft as a bunny's and a soon as you start petting her she purrs immediately.  Sadly the home that Missy shared with another cat and her family was sold and the family could not take the cats along to the next home with such short notice. A relative took the other cat, but they could not find anyone to help poor Missy. It was with a heavy heart that they surrendered Missy to the shelter.  Imagine how abandoned she must feel.  Missy is a gentle and friendly cat. She gets along with other cats and she was around grandchildren in her former home.  Missy is nine years old, is in good health and looks great. She is FeLV/FIV negative, up to date on shots, litter trained and spayed. If you are interested in adopting Missy please contact Michelle at 570-759-0920.

Carmel was rescued off the streets as a very pregnant stray in March, 2017 and taken into foster care. Within the next 10 days she continued to grow and grow and grow. On April 6, 2017, Carmel gave birth to five beautiful babies. Four boys and one girl. Carmel was a very good mother raising all of her babies and even taking on the responsibility of a couple abandoned babies. One by one each little boy was selected to go into their forever homes. Poor Carmel and Cello has never had anyone show any interest in either of them. Carmel and Cello are now a bonded mother/daughter pair and love each other dearly. They remain in the foster home together and would love to find a forever home together. Due to the bonding of these two, we recommend not splitting these two up. They are looking for a quiet home to relax together and bring you so much fun and enjoyment.
Both are spayed, utd on all vaccines, FeLV/FiV negative and litter trained.
If interested in adopting this pair contact Sue via text/call 570-854-1909 or email at: beaver.sue@gmail.com

Born the end of 2013

Beretta was found as a starving stray begging for scraps in a Berwick  trailer court in the dead cold of winter.  She was so hungry because she had seven young kittens to feed.  One of our foster moms Peg saw the plight of this poor mother and babes and took them into her warm home.

Beretta is a pretty black and orange tortoiseshell female with cute orange paws and large warm gold eyes. She was born approximately in late 2016. She is totally devoted to people and loves attention and being pet. She happily jumps in your lap for attention.  Beretta can take a bit to warm up to other cats but has lived comfortably at the Scratching Post kitty café with other feline friends.  

Beretta is FeLV/FIV negative, up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, litter trained, and spayed.  If you are interested in adopting Beretta please contact Michelle at 570-759-0920 or myefko@verizon.net.

Shining bright, my name is Star.  I got the name because I was found in a barn with my seven kittens in the cold weeks before Christmas,
Luckily, my kittens and I were taken in by a kind man and his wife.
(kind of a Mary and Joseph if you know what I mean).  They had to find us shelter at the ARC quickly because the good woman was scheduled for heart surgery.  I think it may have been because her heart was too big and kind for her body. She certainly saved me and my family-giving us a much brighter future.

I am a beautiful brown tabby cat with deep green eyes that capture your attention.  I am a gentle girl who loves soft pets and sitting contentedly by your side.  I am good with other cats and would likely do best in a quieter household.  Please consider letting  my light shine it's way into hour heart.  Love, Star.

Star tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, is spayed, vaccinated and litter trained.  For more information on Star, contact DiAnne at 570-490-4117 or cassieleo@aol.com.

Kelly may not know much about the stray cat she named Cleo, but she quickly fell in love with her. It’s not hard to see why.

Cleo showed up at Kelly’s Selinsgrove home on one of the coldest days in January 2018.  She was wearing a collar and was sweet as can be, but Kelly’s attempts to find her owners  was in vain.  We just have to think someone is missing this sweetheart. But their loss can be your gain. 

Cleo is a gorgeous black and orange tortoiseshell kitty who wants nothing more than to love on any person who will send attention her way.  She is purring constantly and rubs up against everyone. She is just bursting with love.

She is warm and engaging with children and strangers alike. She appears to get along with dogs as well as cats.

Cleo is approximately 2-3 years old, tested FeLV/FIV negative, is litter trained, up yo date on vaccines and spayed. If you are interested in adopting this love bug please contact Michelle at  570-759-0920 or myefko@verizon.net.

Luna is bursting with all the love and affection that anyone could ever ask for from a cat. So why was she abandoned not only once, but twice by people?  

Luna was a housecat loving life when she was discarded by her first family.   She was re-adopted by a second family only to be left behind when they moved. Who would leave a beautiful loving kitty to fend for self outside? When Sarah got wind of this situation she started feeding Luna, but couldn’t bear to see her outside peeking out from under her people’s front porch in Berwick. Was she waiting for them to return?  I’m sure she was thinking how could I be let down again after I’ve given so much love to people?

Sarah took Luna in temporarily until we could get her checked out at our vet.  She describes her as the sweetest, most loving, affectionate female cat. She is well behaved, has a good appetite, and loves canned chicken and gravy.  She is in perfect health according to her vet visit in May. 

Luna is approximately two-years old and has a black shiny coat and luminous gold eyes. She seems to adapt to new situations very well and is good with children. Luna is hoping third time’s the charm and she can finally find her forever home.  Could that be with you?

Luna is FeLV/FIV negative, up-to-date on vaccines, litter trained, dewormed and spayed. If you are interested in meeting Luna please contact Michelle at 570-759-0920 or myefko@verizon.net to schedule a visit.
