Ripley came to HOPE from a person who loved him dearly but fell on hard times and could not keep him or his housemate Velo. He is a bit shy but has a very sweet disposition and loves to be talked to and enjoys a nice head scratch. He is 6 years old, up to date on vaccines and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Ripley and Velo prefer to have space of their own, so will be adopted separately. Ripley is on a urinary diet to prevent issues which occur when his diet is changed and is also working on losing a bit of weight since he is 19 pounds of cuteness. He is ready to lounge on the couch, watch the birds out a window or snuggle up for a good movie with his person. He will probably do best in a quieter environment where he can decompress and enjoy his free time.

The HOPE Cat Adoption Center is located in the Wilton Mall and is open to the public Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 11-4 or by appointment. Online adoption applications may be found on our website at www.hopeanimalrescue.org. For any questions give us a call at 518-450-7013.

What can we say about Velo. To say he is a bigger cat is an understatement since he is a whopping 27 pounds. He is a very sweet boy who was surrendered with his housemate, Ripley, when his owner fell on hard times. He is so sweet and loves attention and to be talked to. Velo will need someone who can monitor his food intake and spend time playing with him so that he will lose weight. Although Velo lived with Ripley, they seem to do better as solo cats and will be adopted separately. Velo is 5 years old, updated on vaccines and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. If you need a workout partner, he is the one for you!

There are cats that come along that remind us more of a dog than a cat. That is what has happened with this adorable kitty named Tater. He was brought to HOPE from a concerned neighbor after he was visiting his front door and being fed for weeks. The home was a bit remote and the person had seen multiple animals that are predatory to cats and luckily we were able to take Tater in. He is a fantastic cat! He loves attention, adores people of all ages, including young, respectful children. He will roll around on the ground to get belly rubs and we feel that he will fit right in on the couch while watching your favorite movie. He will be an indoor only cat going forward and he will not worry where his next meal will come from ever again. We are not sure how he would do with dogs but he may be ok with other cats with proper introductions. He is so intent on receiving pets that this is the best photograph we could take of him. He is much more handsome in person. Tater is estimated to be 5 years old, is neutered, tested negative for FIV and FeLV and has had his first distemper vaccine.

Lyla was living in horrible conditions in a neighboring county when another rescue was able to save her. They contacted us to see if we had space for her and her three 6 week old kittens. We were told this is Lyla’s 4th litter and she is estimated to be 2 years old. She is just about the sweetest girl and was such a good mother. It is now her time to find an amazing family who will spoil her with love and attention. Her kittens were all adopted over 2 weeks ago and Lyla is still at the adoption center waiting for her chance at a loving home. She has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Emma is a gorgeous tabby cat who came to HOPE with her housemate Matthew. Although they have lived together for years, they never bonded and she is a bit of a bully to sweet Matthew. They lost their mom a few years ago and were living with a family member who tried desperately to integrate them into her household with other cats and dogs. Unfortunately, it did not work out, and both cats were not thriving in the home. The difficult decision was made to rehome them. Emma would prefer to be the only pet in the home where she will get all of the attention. She is such a nice kitty, is very confident and just needs to find a lap and home where she will be spoiled for the rest of her life. Her markings are beautiful and she instantly purrs when visitors come to sit with her. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and ready for her forever home!
