Harvey is doing so well since entering foster care!  He's had excellent litterbox manners from day one and is such a quiet, sweet house guest.  He was very scared at first, but once his fellow foster cat Eleanor joined him, he's really come out of his shell, so we do think he would be happiest being adopted with a friendly buddy (maybe Eleanor?). He loves treats and really enjoys being brushed.  He's such a good boy!

Welcome Harvey to The Cat Shack!

Actually, I should say welcome back to Harvey as he was adopted from the Cat Shack as a tiny kitten about 9 years ago. Harvey lived in the same home these past 9 years and witnessed so many changes! Marriages, a human baby joining the family and various new pets coming and going. His former owner tells us that Harvey is a sweet cat who loves to be brushed but he can startle easily. Because he frightens easily, he’s become stressed with the increased activities of a toddler and several outdoor cats and unfortunately, he’s missed the litterbox in his former home. His former owner believes that Harvey needs to live in a calmer household to really shine.

The veterinarians at Perkiomen Animal Hospital have carefully checked Harvey and they have given him a clean bill of health! He’s now chilling in a quiet foster home so we will be able to get a better feel for his personality soon.

Adopting from The Cat Shack

The Cat Shack rescue is all volunteer and the adopted cats are delivered to your home. Because we deliver the cats to you, we must restrict the adoptions of our highly adoptable cats to a 1 hour drive from the Allentown PA area. In certain situations, 'special-needs' cats, ferals and older cats will be adopted to homes at a greater distance then a 1 hour drive from Allentown PA.

Young KITTENS are always adopted in Pairs or to homes with other felines already in the home. Click here to read why kittens are happier with a buddy!

All cats are vaccinated, dewormed, tested and altered as part of the adoption contract. This basic care (and other vet work required to make our rescues healthy) is included in the $85 adoption donation!
