ADOPTION STORY
📖
DORIAN AND GAYLE!

They may not be biological siblings, but from the moment Dorian and Gayle met, it was clear they were meant to grow up together.

Gayle came to us as a teeny singleton (with a crinkly tail) and went straight into the care of our bottle baby queen, Terri. Not long after, our volunteer Oliver reached out about a three-legged mama cat and her solo kitten who he’d named Dorian. Oliver trapped them both and got them to Catsbury Park so we could get them on their way to a better life.

Dorian was just a little older than Gayle, old enough that he was eating on his own, so when Gayle was ready to leave bottle life behind, we decided to pair them up in foster - they both very much needed a buddy. And just like that, they became a duo!

Gayle is wild and fearless and full of energy. Dorian is thoughtful, playful, and the owner of the most luxurious tail in all the land. These two balanced each other in the best way and we knew from the start these they had to be adopted together. Bonded cats don’t always have to be biological siblings!

Massiel and her family came to the lounge looking to adopt, and when they met Dorian and Gayle, it was obvious that they had found their cats. This past weekend, we got to send Dorian and Gayle home, together, to a loving family ANDD they have human siblings to call their own!! So much love to go around.

And if that wasn’t sweet enough, our volunteer Oliver, who rescued Dorian and his mom, decided to make her part of his family, too. Stumpy is now a house cat, with an incredibly amazing human for a dad - living her best life !!

Saying goodbye is always hard for us here but the payoff is so so good. When we get to watch these kids grow and thrive, it’s nothing short of an honor to wave goodbye as they go off to their forever homes.

Thank you to all of you for making these adoptions a reality and — for saving lives every single day.

🎉 🎂 🎈 Please help us in wishing our staff member Nicole A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🎉 🎂 🎈

Nicole’s love for cats (all animals) runs deep and shines through in everything she does. She has an incredible gift for tuning into the unique personalities and needs of each of our resident kitties, forming bonds with them that are nothing short of magical.

If you ever have a question about one of our cats, whether it’s their quirks, favorite toys (or the ones they pretend don’t exist), their go-to sunbathing spot, or the exact way they like to be pet—Nicole is your go-to. She knows them inside and out, not just because she spends time with them, but because she genuinely sees them.

Her patience, intuition, and quiet dedication make a world of difference in their lives, and in ours. We’re so lucky to have her as part of our team, and the cats think so too.

Nicole - we all are wishing you a very happy birthday. Here’s to another year of saving lives together!!!!

PRINCE!

In west Philadelphia born and raised….okay so we don’t know if Prince was actually born and raised in west Philadelphia, but he’s definitely from Philly! He came to us from .meow (if you haven’t checked them out yet and given them a follow, please do - they’re doing incredible work!) and the moment our team met this sweet little guy, we knew he wouldn’t be at the lounge very long.

Theresa came to visit the lounge to see if she clicked with any of the adoptable kitties and it was no surprise Prince caught her eye. Theresa got her application in and just like that, Prince found his forever home in only two days!

Prince went home on Easter Sunday, and his adoption photos are the most adorable thing EVER.

Theresa - we are so glad Prince found his forever home with you and your family. We know he will be living like royalty from here on out thanks to you.

PEARL!!

Little Pearl came to us with her siblings Mango and Luna, when one of our fosters contacted us and let us know they had a momma cat in their yard that just had kittens - and they were willing to foster this crew!

When these kids were ready to graduate to the lounge, we knew they wouldn’t last long — and we were correct! Luna and Mango got scooped up right away, and soon Eliot and her boyfriend came to the lounge to meet the adoptable cats and immediately fell in love with Pearl — and we totally get it !!!

We were able to send little miss Pearl off to live her best life, and as you can see from her adoption photo she’s already quite spoiled 😂 as she should be!

Eliot - we wish you and Pearl many years of love and purrs together. We will miss this sweetie Thank you for saving a life and adopting !!

❤️Russell Update

After returning to Catsbury from his two-day stay at Northstar VETS, he is making noticeable strides in his recovery. City by the Sea has graciously given one of their spacious, extra-large runs for him, thereby providing ample room for his isolation while ensuring he remains under the continuous supervision of their dedicated staff.

We keep in close contact with the vets and enjoy daily updates from the nurses, including heartwarming photos and videos. During our visit last Friday, it was such a joy to see that his eyes were brighter, he was affectionate as ever, and he had a better appetite.

That said, the recent bloodwork and chest radiographs performed have brought some difficult news. Bloodwork showed worsening values, including anemia, and he’s unfortunately lost some weight, despite a good appetite. Also, the chest radiographs revealed a mass on one of his lung lobes, along with a small nodule that raises concerns regarding possible metastasis.

This news is heartbreaking for us, but our resolve to fight for him is stronger than ever. We will be consulting with specialists next week to create a comprehensive care plan for Russell, and I promise to keep you all in the loop as we navigate this together.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has donated to support Russell’s care!

JESTER !!

We cannot tell you how long we’ve been waiting to make this post… well actually, we can. 669 days. That’s how long Jester was in our care, patiently waiting for his person to find him.

He came to us in June 2023 with his littermates Baroness, Countess, Lady, and Duke, and their mom, Princess Delaware, all the way from (you guessed it)… Delaware. After some time in foster, the whole crew made their way to the lounge. One by one, they were adopted—except for Jester and Duke.

Even though they were littermates, Jester and Duke weren’t a bonded pair. Both a little shy, they preferred doing their own thing and were just waiting for the right people to come along.

Jester was especially reserved at first, often keeping to himself. But slowly, he started to open up, and it was such a joy to watch. We hoped it meant he was getting closer to finding his forever home - and we were right.

When Valentina visited the lounge, she was drawn to Jester almost immediately. She told us she wanted to give a home to a cat who truly needed one, and once she heard how long he’d been waiting, she knew he was the one. Since bringing him home, she’s been giving him all the space, love, and treats he needs to settle in at his own pace.

Valentina…we’re so grateful for you. Jester finally has his happy ending, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and purrs!

(P.S. His sweet sister Duke is still looking for a home…come meet her at the lounge! www.catsburypark.com/visit )

Stacey is still waiting…

Today marks 560 days at Catsbury Park for this sweet girl, and we just can’t believe she’s still here.

Stacey is 8 years old and has so much love to give—on her own terms. She’ll happily curl up in your lap for a snooze or gently ask for pets when she’s feeling cuddly. She’s affectionate, but also enjoys her space, and we think that’s a pretty beautiful balance.

She’s not looking for a cat bestie, but she doesn’t mind other cats being around—as long as everyone has enough room to relax and do their own thing.

Her favorite place in the world? A sunny window. She’ll spend hours napping in the light or watching birds and people go by. Sometimes we wonder if she’s waiting for someone to look in and finally see her.

Stacey’s adoption fee has been lovingly sponsored by one of our volunteers, and you can come meet her by booking a visit at www.catsburypark.com/visit.

She’s been overlooked for too long. A share, a repost…if we band together we can find her person! Can you help us find Stacey a that she truly deserves?

MEATLOAF & CELINE

This adorable sibling pair was part of our “Goat Kitten” crew. So… what’s with the goat part? Last August, our friends at reached out to us to see if we had room for four kittens they’d been caring for. Their staff quickly realized these little ones were friendly and ready for a shot at forever homes. We had the space—so off to Catsbury they came!

Melissa stopped by the lounge one day to see if she connected with any of the adoptable cats, and these two stole her heart immediately. We were extra thrilled to see an application with both their names—because we were really hoping they’d get adopted together.

We recently said goodbye to Meatloaf and Celine, and Melissa has been sending the sweetest updates as they settle into their new home. These two have huge personalities and so much love to give. Melissa, THANK YOU for giving them the forever home they deserve! We’ll miss their antics, but we’re beyond grateful they found you.

Their siblings, Belle and Sebastian, are still looking for their person—come meet them at the lounge soon!

CHEEKS UPDATE! 🐾🎶

It’s been a few weeks since Cheeks moved into his foster home, and his amazing foster mom, Maria, keeps us updated almost daily! Their routine includes plenty of soft, soothing music because every cat deserves a little ambiance!

Maria shared: “Greetings from the music room! Sirius XM has a ‘Music for Cats’ channel with soft tunes, both classic and modern. Very soothing for Mr. Cheeks and his humble servant (moi) while dinner is served!”

Cheeks has a great appetite, his “sideburns” are growing in, and most importantly — he is slowly learning to trust. He’s even started accepting gentle pets!

We knew patience would be key in his recovery. While we may never know exactly what he endured, we do know it was traumatic. Maria is giving him the time and space he needs to heal, proving once again that fostering truly saves lives. We know Cheeks is thankful for her.

To everyone who has donated, shared, or simply cheered Cheeks on—thank you. You’re making this second chance possible for Cheeks.

Stay tuned for more updates on Cheeks as we follow his recovery.

GLITZY!

Senior adoptions always feel a little extra special, and Glitzy’s is one that truly warms our hearts.

After spending 12 years in a loving home, Glitzy found herself in an unfamiliar place when her caretaker passed away and there was no one left to care for her. She and her housemates were surrendered to us, and we promised to look after them until they found new families.

Good dental care is essential for every cat, and thanks to the generosity of City By The Sea Vets, Glitzy got the treatment she needed to feel her best. Their kindness and support gave her an even better chance at finding a home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything their team does for all animals. They are true heros!

Ami came to visit lounge, met Glitzy, and it was love at first sight! Glitzy seemed a little reserved, but the second Ami reached out to pet her, she melted into purrs. It was obvious they were meant to be and we were thrilled they found this connection.

Now, Glitzy is off to start her next chapter in a home filled with love. Ami, thank you for opening your heart to this sweet senior girl we know you will bring you so much joy! Wishing you both many happy years together, and all the purrs!
