Good morning, I’m Paddy! I’m 17 years old and I’m a handsome panther!

I came to the Hermitage in March of 2022 after my owner passed away. I’m a very handsome boy, and I bet most humans don’t even realize I’m a senior cat! The Diabetic and Dietary Darlings room is where you can find me, but I recently found out that my diabetes is in remission! I’m a big, friendly boy and I’m happy to greet the humans that come in and bask in their attention. I can be a bit temperamental sometimes, but my cues are pretty clear when I don’t want to be pet anymore.

I’m just looking for a laidback human to spend sunny afternoons with! I want to enjoy my diabetes-free life laying in sun puddles and receiving love!

Notes: My diabetes is in remission, but it could come back. If you have questions about caring for a diabetic cat, the staff is happy to talk to you about the care I’ll need when you bring me home! The staff and volunteers have also noticed that I don't always p*e in the litterbox and the staff is happy to talk to you about what that means if you want to bring me home.

If you’re thinking of adopting, please fill out an adoption application before you come by. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HERM/Cat

Morning everyone, I'm Spaught! I'm almost 7 years old and I'm a handsome gray and white gentleman!

I came to the Hermitage in March of 2024 after some good Samaritans who had been taking care of me brought me in. I'm a former outside kitty, so I was a little nervous when I arrived, but I've settled into my new life wonderfully! Currently, I'm a feline ambassador at PMI. I'm helping all kinds of students learn all about cats, it's very exciting!

I'm a very sweet and silly boy once you get to know me, I just need a little introduction first. One of my favorite things to do is roll around in sun puddles, soaking up the warmth and making everyone around me smile with my antics! I'm enjoying my time being an ambassador, but I'd really love to have a family of my own, where they can dote on me and play with me all day!

Notes: I'm currently living at PMI, so if you’re interested in adopting me please ask one of the staff members at the Hermitage so we can set up a visit, I’d love to meet you!

Kitten season is here and our medical team is busier than ever! We need volunteers to help keep everything s***k and span so our team can focus all their energy on caring for the kitties!

Volunteers in medical do various tasks like cleaning kennels, washing dishes, feeding kitties, tracking litterbox and eating habits, and general area cleaning.

We wouldn't be able to do what we do every day without the support of our amazing volunteers! You can help us make a difference by donating your time, your talents, and your compassion.

If you're 18 or older and interested in becoming a medical volunteer at the Hermitage, you can apply online!

Happy FeLV+ Friday everyone, I’m Zaffre! I’m 1.5 years old and I’m a silly gray and white boy!

I came to the Hermitage in March of 2023 from another shelter. I had a bit of a hard time adjusting to the shelter at first and was quite shy. The volunteers and staff worked very hard to bring me out of my shell, and while I’m still a little shy, I’m much braver and now love to receive affection from humans! You’ll have to introduce yourself first and let me get a good sniff in, but once you start to pet me, I’m very sweet and silly!

The staff and volunteers love when they pet me, and I just get so happy I can’t resist rolling around and purring. I’ll even blink up at you with my sweet eyes, encouraging you to keep going!

Medical: I am FeLV+, but don’t worry, I’m doing great! Please talk to the staff if you have any questions about bringing home an FeLV+ cat!

Morning everyone, you may call me Sishya! I'm 1.5 years old and I'm a sassy calico gal!

I came to the Hermitage in November of 2023 with my babies! They've all been adopted, and now I'm waiting to find my very own family! You can usually see me out on the caito, lounging in the sun and enjoying the warm summer days. I'm a very sweet and friendly girl, and will happily accept all the love you're willing to give me! I'll show my appreciation by purring and rubbing my cute little face into your hands.

As a calico, I do come with a bit of spice, so watch out when I show you my belly. Sometimes I'll accept belly rubs and sometimes I'll grab your hand so we can wrestle! I'm also a spunky and playful girl and love string toys! I'll chase them up and down the catio and roll around on my back trying to catch it while you dangle it above me.

Good morning, my name is Luwak! I’m 3.5 years old and I’m a handsome black and white boy.

I came to the Hermitage in 2020 after being left on the property with my two siblings. You can usually find me taking a nap in a cozy bed high on the catwalks, but in the afternoon I'll come down and explore while waiting for lunch. Toys are my absolute favorite, and you can sometimes catch me chasing all the mousey toys and playing with the red dot! When I have the zoomies you can usually find me rolling around on the catio with a kicker toy or one of the blankets!

I’m curious about our human visitors but not quite ready to let anyone pet me. If you go really slowly, I may reward you with a nose boop before I dash away with my tail curled sweetly over my back. I also have a really sweet high-pitched meow that the staff and volunteers love! I get along well with other cats and you can sometimes find me hanging out with my brother Excelsa and his best friend Hubbard.

Good morning! My name is King Augeas, but my friends call me Augie! I’m almost 6 years old and I’m a sweet orange and white boy.

I came to the Hermitage in 2021. I’m a very sweet boy and I love humans! My favorite thing in the whole world is to sit on your lap and make biscuits! I start purring right away and look up at you to blink slowly and sweetly. If you try and get up before I’m fully satisfied, I’ll climb up your shoulder a little to rest my head on you and convince you to stay.

I’m not the fondest of other cats, so I would prefer to be your one and only. I’m a sweet gentleman to our human visitors though! I also LOVE wet food and you’ll see me eagerly waiting at lunch time for our volunteers to bring me my own little bowl! Sometimes, I'll even go around and lick leftovers from the other bowls too.

Medical: I am FIV+ and have stomatitis. I received a full mouth extraction to help treat my stomatitis, but it still bothers me sometimes and I’ll occasionally cry out when it does. I receive some medications to help manage my stomatitis and any pain I feel from it Don’t worry though, I’m a very happy and healthy boy! If you have any questions about the care I’ll need once you adopt me, our staff is more than happy to answer!

Happy Mature Meower Monday everyone, I'm Pepon! I'm 10 years old and I'm a charming black and white boy!

I came to the Hermitage in April of 2024 all the way from Puerto Rico with my friend Silvestre! I'm a very sweet and friendly boy, and you can usually find me on a shelf right towards the front of the FeLV+ room, waiting patiently for you to come over and pet me! I'm in the FeLV room because while I don't have FeLV, my friend Silvestre does and we like to stay together. Thanks to the vaccine, I don't have to worry about having so many new friends with FeLV!

You can come right up and pet me, and I'll melt into your hands immediately. I'll nuzzle sweetly into your hands and then roll over so you can also rub my belly! Once my purr motor starts, it doesn't stop, and I'll keep going even if you stop petting me. A cozy place to sleep and a sweet human to dote on me and Silvestre are all I need to be happy!
