Our cats and kittens most urgently in need of foster are listed below. If you are new to fostering with us, please apply here to get started. If you’ve fostered with us before, you can call each location directly at the phone numbers listed below. When you arrive to meet or pick up potential fosters, please bring a carrier with you (if you do not have a carrier, let us know).

Urgent Medical & Behavior Cats

These cats need to finish their medical recovery to become healthy enough for adoption. They will heal faster and be much happier in a home than in the shelter.

















	Name: Bingo *URGENT, special placement needed* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/04/2025 Bingo was the name-O! ….of a cat needing foster. This sweet guy is in need of a special foster home! Unfortunately, he has some odd snacking habits- fabric, shoelaces, human food, blankets, rugs, etc.. We suspect he may have Pica, but would love to see how he is doing in a foster home that can house him in a restricted space with limited fabric options for him to chew (MINIMALISTS! We need you!!), with folks who are Type A about tidyness, and who are able to still give Bingo the mental and physical enrichment he needs. We are hoping by greatly removing his options to chew and instead subbing in playtime, enrichment, and attention, Bingo will feel less inclined to get “creative” about how to keep himself busy. His previous owner also said he is the biggest love bug! Bingo is a little under a year old, already neutered, and while he has previously lived with cats, we think -for now- it may be a better option to have him in a pet-free foster space, to rule out stress from other animals as a contributing factor for his past behavior. update 5/11: We’re trying Bingo on a hypoallergenic diet (no treats, PAWS will provide the diet) to see if potential GI issues could contributing to his suspected Pica issue. The diet will be until further notice, but if it’s not making a difference in his ‘taste testing’ we will try him on anti-anxiety medication, to see what helps!

	Name: Applesauce *Urgent* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/4/2025 This little ray of sunshine is Applesauce! She’s 14 years young, still needs to be spayed, and has suspected allergies- her skin’s itchy! She wears her fashionable e-collar to keep from scratching her face or chewing the rest of herself, and we’re starting her on a special hypoallergenic diet to rule out food allergies. She also received a steroid shot on 4/26 and we’re monitoring to see how well her skin and fur clear up over the next few weeks. She’s also FIV-/FeLV-! We’d like to send this little lady into foster care so she can get closer monitoring in a home, and if her itchiness continues despite her steroid shot and special diet (given indefinitely) we’ll try another course of anti-itch meds. We’re also hoping to get her booked for spay soon! Applesauce loves some playtime!

	Name: Enya *Urgent* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 2/23/2025 Super senior kitty alert! Enya is being treated for arthritis, early kidney disease, and hyperthyroidism- all common in seniors! She takes a tiny twice-daily pill in a little food for her thyroid, just starting a kidney-support diet that PAWS can provide until adoption, and comes to our clinic once a month for a magical poke of Solensia- and it’s done wonders for her comfort and mobility! She also can get a little appetite stimulant ointment in her ear if/when she’s feeling picky about eating, and she gets some nice Gabapentin for her vet visits to make things easier on her while traveling! Enya is a nice gal who just started adoption promo, but she’d benefit from continued closer monitoring of her health in foster care while awaiting her forever home!


	Name: Chick Pea *URGENT* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 3/20/2025 Chick Pea is a very very special gal who will need a very very special foster who is okay with medication and potentially multiple medical rechecks a month. Chick Pea is fighting off a kitty cold but also historically has been bouncing between soft stool and constipation. Presently she’s on the soft stool side of things. We’re working to get her GI tract under better control! She’s also a bit on the thin side and seems to have a perma-head tilt, which we think just makes her cuter. We’re recently run diagnostics to see what may have caused the head tilt and to confirm if she’s stable enough to sedate for a much-needed dental procedure, and while her diagnostics came back pretty okay compared to past results, we still need Chick Pea to kick her cold before her dental procedure can happen.
	Name: Socks *URGENT* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Socks is a sweet li’l senior around 14 years young, and she’s already spayed. She’s had some persisitent sniffles we’ve been troubleshooting, and she just had a much-needed dental procedure on Friday, 5/16, and we’re hoping to find a foster to take over Socks’ post-dental care so she doesn’t have to stay at the shelter post-op, since she is really shy and shut down here. She does not love receiving her meds and can be a little wiggly, so ideally a foster would be comfortable administering meds and being patient with administration if she’s hidey or wiggly. She was previously in foster care prior to her dental procedure, but her foster wasn’t able to hang onto her post-dental. Here’s their input: “She’s a total sweetheart, extremely low key and likes to hide out most of the time, but will come out to give you head butts and sleep in the same room as you. She can get pretty squirmy with med administration, so would be ideal for someone who is pretty savvy with kitties.”
	Name: Binky Boo Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/29/25 Binky Boo is a sweet, nervous boy who is hiding in his bed waiting for foster! We think this buddy is around two years old and already neutered.We’ve noticed he has a limp in his front left leg. Our vets suspect that his limp could be caused by a re-injured old elbow injury, but our vets will be doing some xrays to confirm. He also has some superficial scratches on his nose that should heal up easily! In the meantime, he is taking oral gabapentin and subcutaneous buprenorphine to manage any elbow pain. Let us know if you can help this sweetie pie!


	Name: Jasper Location: Pending return *tentatively arriving the week of May 26th!* Poor Jasper’s had quite rough spring and is being returned for some ongoing tummy troubles. He also isn’t getting along with the other cat in the home. We’ll re-assess him when he’s back in our care, but he’ll likely continue the prescription diet and supplements to keep his stools healthy. Jasper’s around 11 years old and would love some TLC in a foster home!

Cats/Kittens in Need of Foster Transfer or Sitter

These kitties are already in foster but could really use a new foster home, to avoid having to come back to the shelter!


	Name: Quartz *needs a foster transfer by June 7th!* Location: foster care – this pet is not at the shelter Originally adopted from PAWS almost a decade ago, Quartz was found as a stray during the winter and is now back with PAWS. She’s around 12 years old and already spayed, and she has a couple health needs we’re supporting! Medication-wise, she takes a twice-daily Methimazole gel in her ear for Hyperthyroidism, and three daily doses of Keppra tabs for a seizure disorder— all of which are well-controlled and just part of her daily rhythm. Her foster mom can vouch that she takes her meds like a champ and still has plenty of cozy, cuddly energy to share! Regarding Quartz’s seizure history, she historically has had full seizures -a couple times a month before starting meds- and ‘focal seizures’ that manifest as facial twitching a few times a day. And given that she is an older gal, her legs aren’t as strong as they used to be, so while Quartz often loves a good nap on the couch (perhaps with some help getting up) jumping and climbing is a little tough for her nowadays. We suspect she has arthritis, so we’re keeping an eye on her mobility and comfort level! Super Senior Kitty status aside, Quartz really is a gem- she loves attention (and catnip) and can be SUPER sweet and goofy! Quartz’s current foster is okay hanging onto her until early June. If she’s not adopted by then, she will need a transfer by 6/7!
	Name: Ted Theodore *needs foster transfer by June 6th!* Location: foster care – this pet is not at the shelter Ted’s such a handsome little floof! His foster has upcoming travels and can no longer care for him beyond 6/6. He came to us with some mats in his fur (conquered!) and a painful eyelid condition called entropion (corrected!) but his eyes are still recovering post-op. We think he may either be sensitive to the dissolving sutures or have some general allergies, so he’s started a steroid taper of Prednisolone. He may need periodic rechecks while his eyes recover but once he’s feeling better he can start adoption promo asap! He can be a really goofy, lovely little guy but change does scare him and he can be sensitive as a result (hidey, growly), so we recommend a child-free space at this time. Ted is around 6ish years old and already neutered.
	Name: Zoe *needs a foster transfer by June 16th!* Location: foster care – this pet is not at the shelter Zoe is always dressed to impress in her perma-tuxedo! She’s an adorable little cross-eyed kitty who just celebrated her third birthday! Zoe’s fosters have some upcoming travel in June, so Zoe needs foster transfer (longterm) by June 16th to prevent her from needing to return to our shelter, where she will struggle behaviorally. Zoe was recently returned to PAWS several months back because she was super stressed by an infant in the adopter’s home, so she’d vastly prefer a childfree space, please! We’ve also learned from her time in foster care that she would prefer to be the only pet in a savvy foster home- change is upsetting for her, and it makes her spicy side come out. Normally, though, she’s a total sweetie once adjusted! She also has allergies and is on 3 meds – 2 for anxiety (Fluoxetine and Gabapentin) and 1 for allergies (Apoquel) — she can take these in food, easy peasy! Because of Zoe’s anxiety, she has been nippy in the past when getting too much attention while adjusting to a new space, so when moving to a new location we recommend keeping her in a calm, quiet room that’s low-traffic, so she can adjust. The poor gal’s had a lot of big life changes over the past few months!
	Name: Hobbes *needs foster transfer by June 13th!* Location: foster care – this pet is not at the shelter Hobbes is a special guy in need of a special foster home! His current foster’s school year is wrapping up in June, and they will be leaving the city as a result. Hobbes would fare far better in foster care over an adoption center, so we’d like to keep him in foster home while he awaits a forever home! Hobbes has a “bad back”- he has arthritis! He gets monthly pokes of Solensia at our clinic to keep him comfortable, along with some regular Gabapentin in his food for additional support at home. He’s also an older guy whose kidneys aren’t as top-notch as they used to be, so he’s on a renal support diet that PAWS can provide until adoption. Because of his back, he’s a sensitive guy with handling, and thus would prefer an adults-only home. That said, on his current pain med regimen he’s feel so much better! Nowadays he plays and is more mobile than he was before, and we’ve already started adoption promo for him, too. Hobbes is already neutered and around 9ish years old, give or take.

	Name: Cinnamon *needs foster transfer by June 30th!* Location: foster care – this pet is not at the shelter Cinnamon is looking for a foster transfer due to his current foster’s upcoming summer travel! This sweet boy is playful, cuddly and loves to get his zoomies out. He’s currently taking gabapentin and prednisolone in his food for his chronic ‘pillowfoot,’ aka pododermatitis, along with a special wet and dry kidney support food. Cinnamon is a big foodie and will eat anything (even though he has no teeth- he had them removed due to stomatitis in his mouth) so being mindful about what’s laying around is very important! He is also FIV+, but don’t let his little health laundry list get you down- he really is a social, energetic guy showing no signs of slowing down! He is already neutered, already posted for adoption, and around 7ish years old, give or take.

Kitten Litters (Including Nursing Moms)

These young kittens need a foster home until all are ready for adoption. Some have come in with a nursing momma! Kitten Litters (Including Nursing Moms)




	Name: Coo, Pidgey, Gull, Fred, & Caw *Urgent* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/25/2025 This cute quintet could be split into groups of 2 and 3 if needed, but they were recently separated from their momma, both due to their age of 5-6 weeks and because momma’s not feeling amazing right now. Since these babies were recently separated, they would benefit from leaving for foster care asap to ensure they’re all still eating/drinking enough to keep gaining weight until they’re all big enough for their spay/neuter surgeries! At least one baby is also getting a short course of eyedrops to nip some eye boogers in the bud.
	Name: Janessa + 3 (Wavy, Cute Boots, & Spotty Moo) Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/25/2025 Cutie patooties alert! ~2-year-old momma Janessa is a little skittish but polite, and her bouncy babes are around 4.5-5ish weeks old! They’re starting to taste test solids but could still use a little more time with momma while mastering the art of weaning. Within a few short weeks everyone should be ready for their spay/neuter surgeries and adoption promo!
	Name: Eye-saiah & Eye-rene Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/25/2025 Love a funky but stable medical foster? We do, too! Eye-ra has but some minor scarring on one of his eyes, so he’ll just need a neuter surgery before adoption promo can start; but Eye-rene is blind and will need a spay + enculeation of her eyes. They’re both around 8 weeks old, originally split from a litter of four, and can have their spay/neuter + enucleation surgeries scheduled asap. Though they’d love to recover post-op in foster care! Recovery should take about two weeks, on average for Eye-rene in particular. She’ll wear a fashionable e-collar for a couple weeks and have some nice pain medication to support her while she recuperates. Have questions about caring for blind babies? Ask us, we’re pros! (Note: blind cats/kittens can get around just fine, since they’ll rely on their other senses to navigate their space– just keep your layout consistent and monitor them as they map out their new foster space!)
	Name: Eye-van & Eye-ra Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/25/2025 Love a funky but stable medical foster? We do, too! Between the two of them, Eye-van & Eye-saiah have one truly one good eye (it should be easy to tell which eye that is from their photos..)- the rest have gotta go! They’re both around 8 weeks old, originally split from a litter of four, and can have their neuter + enucleation surgeries scheduled asap. Though they’d love to recover post-op in foster care! Recovery should take about two weeks, on average. They’ll wear fashionable e-collars for a couple weeks and have some nice pain medication to support them while they recuperate. Have questions about caring for blind babies? Ask us, we’re pros! (Note: blind cats/kittens can get around just fine, since they’ll rely on their other senses to navigate their space– just keep your layout consistent and monitor them as they map out their new foster space!)
	Name: Jayla & baby Jammy Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/29/2025 Look how wholesome these two are! Momma Jayla is maybe around 1-2ish years old, and her wee baby Jammy is around 5-6ish weeks old. Jammy is nervous about humans so he may hiss at first, and momma is nice but seems overwhelmed at the fast-paced shelter commotion, so we’d like to get them into foster care to have a chance to decompress and adjust! They are on no meds at present; we’re just monitoring mom for some sneezing.

Ringworm Cats and Kittens

These cats are recovering from a skin infection that’s easily treatable in an isolated home environment. Caring for these kitties is easy and just takes careful persistence and a separate space in your home. Read out our foster parent guide to ringworm to learn more!


	Name: Astrid URGENT, ringworm Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/27/2025 This li’l nugget is being treated for a kitty cold and suspected ringworm, so we’d like to get her out into foster care asap!! She’s around 6 weeks old and once she’s kicked her cold she would also be eligible to start pre-adopt promo, if you’re keen to get her face out there with potential adopters. You can learn more about how to treat ringworm here!

Shy Cats and Safety Net Program Cats

These cats are very sensitive to the stress caused by the loud shelter environment and need a loving home setting to relax and let their personalities emerge. Learn more about our Safety Net Foster Program here.



	Name: Baby Bell & Bambi *Safety Net Foster Candidates* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/12/2025 These two lovebugs are part of our Safety Net program! They’re both about a year old and their owner is looking for new cat-friendly housing since a family member they’re staying with presently has severe cat allergies. Their tentative reclaim date is 8/21/2025, though ideally a foster would be able to hang onto them for a few extra weeks, if needed, since reclaim date extension requests are common in our Safety Net program. We’ve started both these kitties on Gabapentin for their initial shelter stress, but they’re adjusted fairly well after a few days, and we’re hoping they can eventually be weaned off once they’ve adjusted to a foster home. They are otherwise in pretty good shape- and they’re besties! We are searching for a foster home to take them both home together.
	Name: Baby Girl *Safety Net Foster Candidate* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/22/2025 We’re all in love! Baby Girl is such a petite cutie around 7 years old, on no meds at present, and who will be spayed asap. She’s a safety net kitty whose tentative reclaim date will be 8/22/25– though ideally a potential foster would be able to hang onto her for a few extra weeks if needed, since reclaim date extension requests are pretty common in our safety net program! Her owner loves her very much, and wants to bring her back home, but they will need some support for a few months since they are experiencing a personal hardship. Baby Girl is described as independent, mellow, and sometimes shy, but she can be super sweet once she’s warmed up to you! She’s also previously lived with calm bigger dogs, but we’re not sure how she feels about kids or other cats. Baby Girl also appears to have a more minor case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or CH for short. It’s also nicknamed ‘Wobbly Cat Syndrome’ and she was born this way- it will not get worse or better with time. She wobbles when she walks but she can get around pretty well, and uses her litterbox diligently. We’d recommend keeping her away from stairs to be safe, though. update 5/24: Baby Girl has caught the sniffles, so she’s starting a short course of URI medication! Also sometimes she flops in her food, which she can’t help, so she could use some brushing and wiping periodically to stay clean in the spots she can’t easily tidy herself (mainly around her hips).

Old City Adoption Center

These cats are waiting for foster care from our Old City location!





Please check back later!

Social Cats (including FAST Candidates)

These sociable cats need a foster home! NOTE: If you are taking a foster cat that’s a FAST program candidate, it will be slated to be dropped off at our PetSmart or Old City locations for adoption within 2-3 weeks, since we need to keep those locations filled with adoptable kitties!

	Name: Bingo *URGENT, special placement needed* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/04/2025 Bingo was the name-O! ….of a cat needing foster. This sweet guy is in need of a special foster home! Unfortunately, he has some odd snacking habits- fabric, shoelaces, human food, blankets, rugs, etc.. We suspect he may have Pica, but would love to see how he is doing in a foster home that can house him in a restricted space with limited fabric options for him to chew (MINIMALISTS! We need you!!), with folks who are Type A about tidyness, and who are able to still give Bingo the mental and physical enrichment he needs. We are hoping by greatly removing his options to chew and instead subbing in playtime, enrichment, and attention, Bingo will feel less inclined to get “creative” about how to keep himself busy. His previous owner also said he is the biggest love bug! Bingo is a little under a year old, already neutered, and while he has previously lived with cats, we think -for now- it may be a better option to have him in a pet-free foster space, to rule out stress from other animals as a contributing factor for his past behavior. update 5/11: We’re trying Bingo on a hypoallergenic diet (no treats, PAWS will provide the diet) to see if potential GI issues could contributing to his suspected Pica issue. The diet will be until further notice, but if it’s not making a difference in his ‘taste testing’ we will try him on anti-anxiety medication, to see what helps!

	Name: Applesauce *Urgent* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 5/4/2025 This little ray of sunshine is Applesauce! She’s 14 years young, still needs to be spayed, and has suspected allergies- her skin’s itchy! She wears her fashionable e-collar to keep from scratching her face or chewing the rest of herself, and we’re starting her on a special hypoallergenic diet to rule out food allergies. She also received a steroid shot on 4/26 and we’re monitoring to see how well her skin and fur clear up over the next few weeks. She’s also FIV-/FeLV-! We’d like to send this little lady into foster care so she can get closer monitoring in a home, and if her itchiness continues despite her steroid shot and special diet (given indefinitely) we’ll try another course of anti-itch meds. We’re also hoping to get her booked for spay soon! Applesauce loves some playtime!

	Name: Enya *Urgent* Location: Grays Ferry Clinic Date of Arrival: 2/23/2025 Super senior kitty alert! Enya is being treated for arthritis, early kidney disease, and hyperthyroidism- all common in seniors! She takes a tiny twice-daily pill in a little food for her thyroid, just starting a kidney-support diet that PAWS can provide until adoption, and comes to our clinic once a month for a magical poke of Solensia- and it’s done wonders for her comfort and mobility! She also can get a little appetite stimulant ointment in her ear if/when she’s feeling picky about eating, and she gets some nice Gabapentin for her vet visits to make things easier on her while traveling! Enya is a nice gal who just started adoption promo, but she’d benefit from continued closer monitoring of her health in foster care while awaiting her forever home!
