Hi, I'm Broc.
If you like ’em big and chunky, read on! Broc and Gus are a bonded pair of male cats who came into the shelter after being left in the home. The change to shelter life has been hard for them, and they are still getting to know us (as we get to know them), though they’ve made progress in their brief time in this chaotic environment! Broc is the more hesitant half of the pair, though even he falls victim to a good cheek scratch. He reportedly enjoyed a good brushing from staff as well. Broc seems to have a case of the shelter-spookies and we believe he will open up quite a bit in a mellow home.
Due to their background, we are unsure how Broc and Gus feel about living with other cats, dogs, or small children. We think based on behavior so far that these mature boys would enjoy a more laidback home where they can adjust at their own pace. You never know though—introverted cats can surprise you once they settle in! Sometimes a shelter-shy guy is the most loving companion of all.
Hi, I'm Donna.
🩶 Meet Donna 🩶
Donna is a beautiful gray tabby with a gentle heart and a sweet, affectionate personality. She loves spending her days playing, snuggling, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood from her favorite window perch. If there’s a bird, squirrel, or blowing leaf outside, you’ll likely hear her adorable little chirps as she excitedly watches the world unfold.
Having been raised in a foster home with children, cats, and dogs, Donna is comfortable around both people and other animals. She’s friendly, adaptable, and enjoys having companions to play with before curling up for a well-earned nap. Her calm, loving nature makes her an easy addition to just about any family.
Donna would be happiest in a home with another friendly pet to keep her company. While she and Larry are not bonded, they share a special friendship and love spending time together, making them wonderful companions if adopted as a pair. Whether she joins Larry or another playful friend, Donna is sure to fill her forever home with cuddles, chirps, and endless love.
Hi, I'm Slimpy.
One of three tuxedo musketeers, these silly named siblings ran up to someone walking the trails at Springettsbury Park and earned themselves a ticket to find a forever family! They’ve been spending their days playing and wrestling one another without a care, then recharging in a big old cuddle puddle. Slimpy likes to give his humans little baby head butts and purr the day away… in between the kitten shenanigans, of course.
Due to their stray background, we don’t know how they feel about living with dogs, cats, or young children, but we expect they could adapt to all sorts of homes, so any prospective family hoping for a forever friend is free to apply!
Hi, I'm Trilogy.
Trilogy came to us as a stray and has had a difficult time adjusting to all the changes that come with shelter life. He struggles with new situations and can show significant nervousness when faced with unfamiliar people, environments, or experiences. While he has shown staff his sweet and gentle nature, building trust takes time. Trilogy appears to warm up more quickly to women than men and will need adopters who understand that relationships with him must be earned through patience and consistency. Because of his sensitive nature, Trilogy is looking for a calm, understanding home that will allow him to move at his own pace. As his confidence grows, so does his personality, and those who take the time to get to know him will be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion. With kindness, patience, and support, Trilogy has all the potential to blossom into the wonderful dog we know he can be.

Hi, I'm Harley.
Harley is a handsome adult gentleman with a gentle soul and a sweet, affectionate nature. While he may be a little shy when meeting new people or exploring new surroundings, give him some time and patience, and you’ll discover a loving companion who enjoys attention and quiet companionship.
In his previous home, Harley lived successfully with both other cats and a dog, so he may do well in a multi-pet household with proper introductions. He tends to be more reserved than outgoing, preferring to observe from a safe spot before deciding it’s time to join in. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines through, and he enjoys spending time with the people he trusts.
Harley would thrive in a calm, understanding home that will allow him to settle in at his own pace. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will reward your patience with love and companionship, Harley could be the perfect addition to your family.

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
