✅ Our kitties are fixed, rabies & FVRCP vaccinated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested, flea/ear mite treated, dewormed and receive any other necessary vet care prior to adoption. $130 adoption donation.
💖 Scuttle is yet again requesting some supplies. She’s a high maintenance kinda girl 💅🏻💁♀️ She’s mainly in need of more diapers! She’s getting bigger and may be moving on to the Premie size, but we can still use some of the doll diaper size, too. She eats Churus like no tomorrow, they help us distract her while we express her bowels and bladder.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help her out!!! 😻🧡🖤

Ella here with another Furry Fact Friday: Litter Box Recommendations and Maintenance 🐾**
Ensuring your cat's litter box is set up correctly and maintained properly is crucial for their health and happiness. Here are some tips:
#️⃣ Number of Boxes: Have one more litter box than the number of cats in your household. For example, if you have two cats, provide three litter boxes.
⬇️⬆️➡️ Placement: Place litter boxes in quiet, accessible areas away from loud appliances or high-traffic areas. Cats prefer privacy when using the litter box.
💩🚽 Litter Type: Choose a litter that your cat prefers and that controls odor effectively. Most cats prefer unscented, clumping litter.
📥 Depth: Keep the litter depth between 2-3 inches. Cats prefer to dig and cover their waste, so ensure there’s enough litter for them to do so comfortably.
🧽🫧 Cleaning Frequency**: Scoop the litter box at least once a day to remove waste and clumps. Wash the litter box with mild soap and water weekly, avoiding strong chemicals that could deter your cat.
🗑️ Replacement: Replace the litter entirely once a month or more frequently if needed to maintain cleanliness and odor control.
📍 Location Sensitivity: Monitor your cat’s litter box habits. Changes in litter box usage could indicate health issues, stress, or a need for a different type of litter.
By following these recommendations, you can create a comfortable and hygienic litter box environment for your cat, promoting good litter box habits and overall well-being.
🤩 Happy adoption day to these 2 cuties, Phineas now Winston, and Pherb now Charlotte. 🧡🤍🧡🤍
2 new kittens have taken their place and you can visit them at Pet Supplies Plus - Scranton, PA 😻
🧡Happy adoption day Ozzie!🧡
We are excited to see you settle in with your new family.
FIV+ kitties are often overlooked; when adopting, consider adopting an FIV kitty! We have 2 other love bugs available at this time that are FIV+. 😻
Cats and Mental Health 🐱💙
Did you know that cats can have a profound impact on our mental well-being?
Stress Reduction: Petting a cat has been shown to lower cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety.
Companionship: Cats provide unconditional love and companionship, easing feelings of loneliness and depression.
Routine and Responsibility: Caring for a cat can provide structure and a sense of purpose, which is beneficial for mental health.
Emotional Support: Cats are intuitive animals that often seem to know when their owners need comfort, offering emotional support during difficult times.
Mindfulness and Relaxation: Watching a cat play or groom themselves can promote mindfulness and relaxation, helping to calm the mind.
Whether it's through their soothing presence or playful antics, cats have a unique ability to enhance our mental well-being.
Consider adopting a cat and experience the positive impact they can have on your life!

😸 Scuttle had another acupuncture appointment today, she did well! She wanted to say thanks to all who donated recently 😻 some donations came with a note - shout out to the families of Margaret, Lisa, Chris, Stacey, Mary, and everyone else who sent our kitties supplies! 💕
Scuttle AKA Scootin Skittles is ready for the weekend 🤩
Franklin here! This was on my way home from Cornell Vet (rough day, please don’t judge me. I try not to think about that day, and I may or may not have bit the medical student). 😬
🚨Furry Fact Friday: Spay and Neuter Edition! 🐾
Did you know that to provide a home for every cat in the United States, each person would need to adopt seven cats? That's why spaying and neutering is so crucial. 🌎
Spaying and neutering are the most effective ways to prevent the birth of unwanted kittens. One unspayed female cat and her offspring can produce thousands of kittens in just a few years.
By spaying and neutering our pets, we can work towards a future where every cat has a loving home and overpopulation is no longer a crisis. Support spay and neuter initiatives to help make a difference in the lives of countless cats. 🦸♀️🫡
🖤🤍🧡Another Scuttle update!🧡🤍🖤
Wednesday she had her orthopedic visit at Valley Central! She was very well behaved for them and got additional X-rays. We are awaiting their call back on Monday/Tuesday with results from the radiographs. Dr. G recommended physical therapy and she has a consult scheduled for this Monday.
Dr. G showed us some exercises to do daily in hopes of getting some movement in the back legs, since we’ve already seen slight improvement in the last couple weeks that we’ve had her, but ultimately we just have to wait and see how she develops.
😻💕Happy adoption day, Andy! Andy is going to have a little kitty sibling with his new family and we know he will love playing all day!
Papaya (available for adoption) with another Furry Fact Friday!! 🐾🐈
Did you know that cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents in the air? It's called the Jacobson's organ, or the vomeronasal organ, located on the roof of their mouth. When you see your cat making a funny face with their mouth slightly open, they're using this organ to "taste" the scent molecules. This behavior is called the Flehmen response, and it's especially common when they're investigating something particularly interesting or new.
Scuttle thanks everyone for the diaper donations she’s received so far!!😻🖤
We’ve updated our Amazon wishlist with our most needed food/supply items for all of our foster families right now. Many of these items can also be purchased at local stores, and can be dropped off in the donation bin at Pet Supplies Plus - Scranton, PA
Stay tuned for Scuttle updates, she is going to an orthopedic specialist tomorrow. 😸🧡

🐾 National Hug Your Cat Day! 🐱💖
Today is National Hug Your Cat Day, and it's the purr-fect time to show some extra love to our feline friends! Whether they're snuggly lap cats or independent adventurers, all cats can appreciate a little extra affection.
Hugging your cat not only strengthens your bond but also provides numerous mental and physical health benefits for both you and your furry companion. Here’s the science behind it:
🐈Touch: Cats have sensitive nerve endings that respond positively to gentle touch. Petting and hugging your cat can trigger the release of oxytocin, the "love hormone," in both you and your pet, promoting feelings of happiness and relaxation.
🐈⬛Purring: Cats purr within a frequency range of 20-140 Hz, which has been shown to be medically therapeutic. Purring can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and even promote healing of bones and tissues.
🥰The act of hugging and petting your cat releases endorphins, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
❤️Studies have shown that cat owners have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, attributed to the calming effect of feline companionship.
☺️Interacting with your cat can increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, chemicals in the brain that enhance mood and overall sense of well-being.
Don’t have a cat to hug? Consider adopting a furry friend! There are so many lovable cats waiting for their forever homes, ready to fill your life with warmth and purrs.

🥰 Thank you all who donated towards Reggie, here’s a little update on him! 🖤🖤🖤 Reginald is such a sweetheart & he is available for adoption!! We call him our little Velcro kitty because he doesn’t leave your side. He’s doing so well after his dental, our vet couldn’t believe how horrible his poor teeth were; 2 of his canines split down the middle! 😱 Added his photos from the day he was rescued in the comments. His eyes are so much better, luckily it was just a bad infection and didn’t need surgical entropion correction. Reggie is FIV+ and can live happily with other kitties!! FIVcats.org Feel free to message us if you’re interested and want more info on his wonderful personality.. Apply at linktr.we/kittiesofnepa
🐾🌟 Happy National Specially Abled Pets Day! 🌟🐾 You name it: Missing limbs or organs, injuries, blindness, deafness, born with or acquired disabilities/diagnoses, neurological disabilities, incontinence, paralysis, and the list goes on. At Kitties of NEPA, we hold a very special place in our hearts for our specially abled pets. Today, we honor the incredible spirit and resilience of specially abled pets. Despite their challenges, these remarkable animals radiate love, joy, and endless determination. Let's celebrate their unwavering spirit and spread awareness for these extraordinary companions. Specially abled pets offer unconditional affection and companionship, enriching the lives of all around them with their boundless love. **Breaking Stereotypes:** Let's challenge misconceptions and ensure specially abled pets receive the recognition and opportunities they deserve, including breaking adoption barriers. Specially abled pets make wonderful companions, bringing immense joy and fulfillment to any home. Depending on the medical needs, they may not necessarily require any additional care for the disability. Support and resources are available. Organizations and online groups provide valuable support, resources, and guidance to ensure specially abled pets thrive in loving environments. Your support makes a difference in creating a more inclusive and compassionate world for all pets. 🐾💖 We can’t celebrate specially abled pets day without mentioning Franklin (dwarfism, megaesophogus, crustiness, and probably more) Melvin ( severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and Pepper (still available for adoption‼️- incontinence). #SpeciallyAbledPetsDay #Resilience #AdoptDontShop
🥹 A little update from Twix who was recently adopted and has settled right in with his family! He has mild CH and his new trick he learned is playing fetch 😻😹
Update: Adopted 😻 ❗️❤️ADOPT ME❤️❗️Twix is still available! Here’s a little taste of the fun you can have with Twirling Twix 😹 if he’s not stumbling down the cat tree, he’s probably excited over the prospect of food. I think we can all relate to that one. 🤣 ❤️❗️ Who’s looking for an adorable, unique, quirky new family member for the new year?! Twix is your guy! He has mild CH, paired with the one eye, it results in some circling/sporadic movement and the occasional tumble. 😹 His CH is mild and he does not require any litter box or feeding accommodations. Around 1 year old. Twix is an easy going, fun loving guy who gets along great with other cats and loves to play and get pets. He loves to climb but sometimes falls, runs into things, and he spins in circles when he’s excited. It’s quite the sight and we love him more because of it. 😻😹 Twix had his eye enucleated due to severe glaucoma, but was born with the balance issues. He’s not a lap cat, but he loves to sit near us; often times though he is on the go playing with something, watching the birds, or chasing another kitty to play with. No small children, as Twix does not like to be picked up. Although he is extremely sweet and friendly, he does have balance issues and needs someone cat savvy (especially for vet visits - he does great being guided into a carrier or just setting one on the ground and he will usually go right in.) Approved application is needed for adoption/meeting, please apply via nepapetrescue.com

😿PLEASE SHARE❤️ Hi everyone, it’s Franklin here! We reeeaaalllyyy need your help this week. We have been made aware of a situation with a lot of kitties.. this upcoming week we will be getting ❗️10❗️ females fixed and vaccinated. At $60 per cat, this will be a costly situation, $600 just this week, and there will be many more to be fixed in the following few weeks. 🥰 PLEASE consider sponsoring a kitty’s neuter, rabies & FVRCP vaccines, any amount, even $1, helps so much. These kitties need YOUR help to stop the endless cycle of reproducing. SEND US A MESSAGE TO DONATE VIA PAYPAL or we can provide an address, or use the donate button here. We will post additional updates as we get more information and continue to assist with this situation. Our first priority will be to fix the adults.
❗️UPDATE❗️He’s back! I’m calling him Donut at the moment but that may change. What a love bug he is! This is the kitty who was caught in a foot/leg trap. He has a fracture and some cuts from the ground trap and it’s possible he was stuck in it for a while before being found. 😰 The vet hopes he will heal and he will not need an amputation. He has a hefty bill from today and any donations would be so appreciated. If you’d like to donate, please send a message and we can give you info on how to do that via PayPal or mail. 💗😸 😻 He has a foster who will be holding him temporarily while he heals, HOWEVER, he would ❤️LOOOVE to have a home lined up when he’s all better, or even beforehand as a foster to adopt. He’s up to date on vaccines and neutered, FIV positive, and has the best personality. There are some great articles regarding FIV online; please do your research and don’t be deterred by FIV, he can live a normal life with other negative kitties.
😸🐶 Did you know it’s Vetrinary Technician Week? To all the vet techs, thanks for being awesome!❣️Be sure to appreciate your techs a litter extra this week. 🥰
👉Cleo is still available for adoption! She is very vocal, full of personality, and expects pets constantly, and OPENS DRAWERS 😯 https://www.petfinder.com/cat/cleopatra-56092942/pa/scranton/northeast-pa-pet-fund-and-rescue-pa904/?referrer_id=fc5d3587-8044-48f9-9603-0d3aa66f75b0
😻🥰 Want to be involved and make an enormous impact in the animal world? Fostering saves lives and yes, you can do it too!! It’s extremely rewarding and is an amazing experience. 💚 We are looking for 2-3 more foster families to add to our team. We have a few friendly adults in TNR’d colonies immediately in need of shorter term foster homes (usually 2-4 weeks). However, there’s always a need for fosters for all ages and types of kitties; including kittens, adults, seniors, special/medical needs, kittens with moms and so many more. ❣️We can supply everything & we take care of all vetting. You just need to provide ample love, time, and a little space in your home. 😸 Please message us directly if you are interested in applying and saving lives!
❗️PLEASE SHARE & HELP if you can 😿 ❣️We are currently helping in a small mobile home park where we have fixed over 50 pets and ferals, and still have some more to go. In one of the colony areas with about 10 cats, the fleas are horrific (as you can see in the video). Many have dermatitis and anemia. The caretakers can touch them and can apply flea product. We are hoping to give the cats some relief by providing monthly treatment for the time being to these cats and some of the indoor pets. 💲💚 Catego is $21.59 for 3 doses right now, you can purchase them right from our amazon wishlist linked below or message us to drop off a donation. 😸 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2I4WLWQRSI23N?ref_=wl_share ❗️You can also make a monetary donation and sponsor a cat’s neuter for $35❗️
Pepper, our incontinent foster kitty, loves playing with (dive bombing) her foster brother Dill in their new cat carpet!
We are here until 3PM at PetSmart Dickson City!
