Critter Details

  In West Philadelphia Born and Raised… I was found as a stray in West Philly but am so thankful to be one step closer to my forever home! I'm definitely not a street cat… more like a purring machine! Even before you start petting me I get excited and start to rumble. When I’m ready for chill time, I do the best downward dog to stretch it out. I am gentle and dignified – even when head butting it’s done with care and grace. I’d love to meet you and let you hear my motor while I make air biscuits. Apply online today to adopt me!   Age: 1 year How I came to PAWS: Found as a stray in West Philly Animal ID#: A179322 Meet me at: PetSmart 1415 Washington Avenue (at Broad Street), Philadelphia &#226&#128&#139adoptions@phillypaws.org **In order to safely meet with any animals at our PetSmart locations you will need to have a fully processed and approved application submitted first, after which you will then be able to schedule an official adoption appointment to meet and hopefully take home your new kitty! You can submit an application online at https://phillypaws.org/cat-adoption-application/. Due to the limited space inside of the adoption area we are not allowing people to come in and browse any animals without first taking these steps.**  _____________________________________ To adopt a cat, complete the application at phillypaws.org/catapp. To adopt a dog, complete the application at phillypaws.org/dogapp.  To adopt a small animal, complete the application at phillypaws.org/small-animal-adoption-application.           Please reference this animal's ID NUMBER when inquiring.
