This adorable little girl with no tail is Galaxy!
She is a sweet, timid and shy approx 10-12 month old kitten.  She was very skittish when she first came to us about 5 months ago, but immediately started to follow our blind cat around as though she were her kitten. Thankfully our cat was glad to be her surrogate momma and showed her the ropes as far as head butting other cats, sleeping on the bed (particularly when the sun beams are out during the day) and walking around chirping in her adorable high pitched and faint little squeak.  

Galaxy, who is affectionately nicknamed Poubelle in our house (hopefully you don't speak French or you may wonder how a cute kitten got a name like Garbage Can!  Please don't blame the kitten...her foster parents are weird. ;) ) took some time but has come out of her shell with us.  She will still sometimes run if there is a loud unexpected noise, but she now seeks us out, and loves to follow us to the bathroom for some reason.  She loves toys, and is particularly adept at chasing that pesky laser pointed.

She absolutely loves other cats and will need to be adopted with an outgoing playful cat or kitten, or into a home with one who can show her the ropes and help get her acclimated to a new environment.  Thankfully she loves toys and food, so she can be won over with some bribery and patience. 

Obviously because she was a stray we have no proof of Galaxy's pedigree but she does have the telltale manx stump (basically no tail, or a rumpy riser) and the adorable back legs that are longer than the front, a little reminiscent of a bunny. 

As mentioned she absolutely loves other cats and should live in a home with at least one friendly feline companion.  She gets along with all the cats in her foster home.  She also lives with a large dog but is smart enough to stay out of his way.  Because she can be easily startled and scared she would probably do best without young kids.

Galaxy is good with the litter box and typically uses the cat tree as a scratching post.  
She will make a lovely companion for someone with some patience and understanding that she will take a little time to get settled in.

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!
