Orphan Angels Cat Sanctuary and Adoption Center

Orphan Angels Cat Sanctuary and Adoption Center Orphan Angels is a no-kill, free-roaming cat sanctuary and adoption center. We are a free-roaming sanctuary. We are a no-kill shelter.

We aim to end homelessness for cats in the Erie area through fostering, adoption, and education. At Orphan Angels, our foster and adoption programs aim to place homeless cats, including those with special needs, FIV, and FeLV, into loving forever homes. We believe that every cat is adoptable; some just require a little more time, patience, and understanding than others to find the perfect match. W

hen you enter our doors the majority of the 100+ cats that live on the premises are free to roam about the space. The only cats that you will find in cages currently are due to medical or dietary needs – but we are working hard to remedy this issue with our new cage project. We never euthanize based on finances or space within the shelter. We serve as a voice for the voiceless

Meet Emoji ... again!

Emoji is a medium hair, good with cats, dogs,kids, sweet personality, and lap cat kinda guy. WOW perfect!
He requires digestive food and 2 meds that he gets right on top of his food. Just because of his few little maintenance requirements, he hasn't gotten any applications for adoptions.
Surely there's got to be someone out there willing to provide a smidgen of extra TLC to provide him his forever home?

Apply now to set up a meet and greet!

🌎😽💛 World Kindness Day 💛😽🌎

Today is about spreading kindness.
In big ways, small ways, and quiet moments that no one sees.

Behind the scenes, kindness is what drives everything we do.
It’s in the hands that comfort a frightened or sick cat.

In the sleepless nights spent monitoring critical care cases, bottle babies, etc.

In the volunteers who shop around for specific high calorie or high fat food on their own time and with their own money (Carol ❤️)

This video is a glimpse into that world. The world of quiet, determined, life-saving kindness.

Every syringe, every soft blanket, every “you’re safe now” whispered to a scared soul… that’s what kindness looks like here.

Today and every day, we’re grateful for every person who chooses compassion.
Because when kindness leads, lives are saved. ❤️

Here at Orphan Angels, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness. For your continued support, believing in us, and believing in our mission. Without your kindness, we wouldn't be able to be who we are.

It was amazing to see all of Jenny’s babies go home yesterday, but we don’t want to forget about mom!!

Jenny was an absolute champ, raising seven rambunctious kittens and even took in an abandoned singleton and let him join her crew!

She’s a beautiful lady, very affectionate and show stopping green eyes! If you missed her babies yesterday, why not give her her forever?! If you already have an approved app, shoot us an email at [email protected] to set up a meet and greet! If you haven’t applied yet, fill yours out below! ⬇️

Orphan Angels Cat Sanctuary & Adoption Center

We are a 501(c)(3) no kill, cat only shelter in Erie, PA. At Orphan Angels, our foster and adoption programs aim to place homeless cats, including those with special needs, FIV, and FeLV, in loving forever homes. We believe that every cat is adoptable; some just require more time, patience, understanding, and love than others to find the perfect match. Our ultimate goal is to place the cats that are in our care, but there is no limit on the amount of time they may spend with us. Every cat in our care has a loving home in our sanctuary for as long as they need us.

We can always use scoopable, clumping cat litter, canned Friskies and Fancy Feast brand cat food, and volunteers at the shelter, as well as volunteers to foster cats not yet ready to enter the shelter. We are funded solely by donations, and receive no money from outside sources. Our adoption fees alone do not cover the medical costs associated with the regular medical care of a healthy cat, let alone those who may need more medical care or treatment, especially those who are long term residents of our sanctuary, or those who have chronic health needs. We are always exceptionally grateful for any monetary donations made towards the cats in our care to help defray these costs. Donations can be sent to our PayPal at [email protected] - or if you would prefer to send a check by mail, please contact us for a mailing address. You can also donate directly to our various year round fundraising efforts or emergency medical fundraisers.
