***ADOPTED 02/15/12***

Laverne is an affectionate lady with attitude! Although she is now 6 years old and admittedly somewhat more plump than she should be, Laverne is active and playful, even downright silly at times. A sudden attack of the "feline crazies" can occur without warning. A moment later, she'll be calmly staring at you, wondering why you are laughing! She loves human attention and will rub against your legs to make sure she is not ignored.

Laverne has been living in foster care FAR too long and deserves to finally find her own loving home. She has been adopted twice before, along with her sister, Shirley. They have had very bad luck because both times they lost their home through no faults of their own. Their people had serious personal problems and Laverne and Shirley were the innocent victims of that.

Although they have always been together, Laverne and Shirley are willing to now go their separate ways. Laverne is very affectionate and is more interested in attention from humans than interactions with other cats. The same can also be said for Shirley. So, although adoption together would be great, it is not a necessity. They have been living with multiple other cats in foster care and get along with most of them, without being buddy-buddy with any of them. They lived with dogs in a previous home so should re-acclimate to a cat-friendly dog without difficulty.

Laverne is a loving cat who will be your great friend and make you smile. Please consider her, but only if you understand the meaning of long-term commitment. She deserves nothing less.

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!
