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

Happy Tails this past week to Sushi, General Tso, Emoji and Teriyaki (not pictured).

Thank you to our adopters for welcoming these little ones into their homes! Emoji’s new mom took him on with a special diet and meds that are given 3x per day! Thank you for opening your home to a special needs cat! We truly believe each cat has their person and are so glad these four found theirs!

See you next week for more forever family photos! ❤️❤️

Fuego came in on emergency with a blocked bladder and extremely low heart rate. He was moments from death, but our amazing medical team intervened just in time!

He has made a full recovery, but must remain on a urinary diet for the rest of his life. If you don’t see him when you first arrive at the shelter, it’s because he’s waiting for you to come to him. He loves affection, but is just too polite to ask for it.

Come visit Fuego during adoption hours today from 1-4! Better yet, put in an adoption application and give him a home for the holidays. We’ll hook you up with lots of food to get you started! 🤩

We’ve got two sweet sets of siblings hanging out in the kitten room right now! Miso & General Tso (tabbies) and V-Star & Chancey (gray/white).

We always say two is better than one when talking kittens because they keep each other busy, have a built in playmate and you get twice the kitty love!! These four are sweet little purr machines and all love a lap, however V-Star and Chancey are a bit more rambunctious than the tabby crew!

Let’s and find these four their homes this weekend! Put in your app below! 🤩

Emile is ready for adoption! He arrived in April with his siblings and after a terrible bout of pneumonia, was the only survivor.

He is a unique kitten, certainly using his second chance at life to his best ability. He is a mischievous little guy, playful, fun and full of life! He is used to having other pals around, so it would be great to see him go to a home with other animals!

Put in your app for Emile below! ⬇️

Meet Beatrice!

She was recently surrendered when her home environment was stressing her out. She currently loves covered beds, but bring her out for pets and she’ll be all over you! She’ll need a calm home with someone who will let her warm up. After that, we think she’d be a total lap cat!

Put your app for Bea in now! She is approx 5yrs old. 😻

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.
