Ernie is an outgoing youngster who was rescued with his brother and best friend, Bert (please see separate posting), as a very shy and scared kitten at the end of October 2025. Fast forward several months and Ernie is now a different kitty! Just like Bert, he comes running to his foster Mom at feeding time and enjoys being petted. He is still learning about being picked up but is making good progress.

Ernie happily intermingles with all the other cats in his multi-cat foster facility. He is curious and adventurous, eager to explore and discover the world when not napping with one or more of his foster buddies.

Ernie's estimated date of birth is April 1, 2025. He is in excellent health and condition, neutered, vaccinated and negative for feline leukemia and FIV. He will need a little time and understanding as he adjusts to a new home but his loving personality will soon shine through. Adoption together with his brother, Bert, is strongly preferred, though he can be adopted by himself to a home with another young feline anxious for a happy, up-beat buddy.

Ernie's brother, Bert (available for adoption) can also be seen on our website.

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.

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 $100 adoption donation!
