Oh Elliot, you’ll find your person soon! This shy boy lived most of his life in a home, and has had a hard time putting himself out there when folks come by to meet him (he was one of the only cats left after our adoption event at PAWS’ Old City location 😥). But give him a little time and patience, and you’ll discover just how sweet and affectionate this senior gentleman truly is!

Elliot has a quiet soul and a heart full of love. He prefers calm environments where he can relax at his own pace, often finding cozy spots to curl up, watch the world from a safe distance, and enjoy spending time with the humans he adores. His previous adopters said his favorite things are, soccer balls, scratching posts, and looking out the window at birds. He’s never lived with other pets, but may do fine with respectful cat friends after slow intros!

All Elliot needs is a loving home willing to let him blossom. In return, he’ll offer a lifetime of quiet companionship and unconditional love. If you’re looking for a big ray of sunshine to fill your heart and home, email adoptions@phillypaws.org or stop by to meet Elliot at our Old City Adoption Center! ...

Are you looking for the ultimate granny cat? May we present to you 👑Pork Chop👑 At 17 years old, this “super senior” is the perfect combo of soulful, sweet, and sassy, and she frankly lives rent free in all of our heads. Just ask staff member Cory!

“I’m fortunate to spend time with so many incredible animals at PAWS,” she shares, “but there’s truly something deeply special about Pork Chop. While she’s currently in an incredible foster home, I’ve had the chance to foster-sit her a few times, and it always feels like an honor to help care for her.”

At home, Pork Chop is a grade A certified sun snoozer and lap napper (she is a golden girl, after all), but she loves a good wand toy and still pops off with zany spurts of energy where she zips across the room — and she REALLY goes crazy for a little sprinkle of the “devils lettuce” (aka cat nip)!

While Pork Chop loves to lay on top of her people or cuddled close by in a mountain of blankets, she’s not afraid to state she needs solo time by giving a little swat or try to “gnaw” at your hand — but really, it’s just a mouth full of wet gums because she has no teeth 😂 “It’s equal parts hilarious and cute!” says Cory.

What can we say? To know Pork Chop is to love her, and it’s easy to see why.

“From the very first day I met her at the shelter and looked into her eyes, I could tell she was an old soul who has lived many lives. Being in her presence feels both calming and grounding. I just know that whoever gives Pork Chop a chance and welcomes her into their home will be forever glad they did.”
