Annika is a gorgeous, soft gray longhair who came to The Cat Shack recently with her companion, Kirby, a mixed gray and white shorthair. Although these two cats would be happy to be adopted together, that is not necessary. They are good companions but they both get along with other cats very well and are not strongly bonded to each other. Annika is now about 5 1/2 years old and very anxious for a real home.

Annika and Kirby were the beloved pets of an 85 year old woman who died unexpectedly. They had come to her as strays and were her treasured friends. The lady's daughter, who lives out of state, was very concerned about finding a suitable home for the cats quickly, since there was no one here to care for them. She is unable to adopt the cats herself as she has 2 large dogs who are not cat friendly.

The cats were already spayed/neutered but were seen by the vet for exams, updated vaccinations and testing for feline leukemia and FIV. Those test results were negative. They needed treatment for fleas and it was noted that Kirby has a low grade heart murmur but the cats were in fine shape otherwise. Although understandably quite frightened when they first arrived in foster care, they are now completely adjusted. Annika is extremely sweet and comes looking for attention. She loves to be petted and is a lap cat. Kirby is also very sweet and affectionate now that he feels secure again. Once you gain his confidence and start to pet him, he can't get enough of it!

If you are looking for a beautiful, affectionate companion who will do well with other cats, please consider Annika. If you are looking for two such cats, please consider Annika and Kirby together!

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!
