Cats for Adoption: Meet Jiffy Pop, and Prevent Spring Flings!

Jiffy Pop is ready to go home!

Jiffy’s foster person—the same one who fostered Gnarly and two kittens now in foster plus Finn wants you to know about Jiffy Pop! She’s been loving him up for weeks and now he’s ready to go to his forever home.

Meet Jiffy! He is an amazing and affectionate kitty! Jiffy is four months old, and was removed from a colony of cats living outside when he was a kitten. He loves to play and look out the windows, and also loves to snuggle up for a nice nap. Jiffy had a little bit of a rough start to life and was exhibiting some balance issues and a head tilt, however he has come a long way and rarely exhibits this behavior at all! Jiffy is a very smart kitty and would love to find his forever home!

Jiffy is currently located in Bridgeville, south of Pittsburgh. He is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations (Rabies, Feline Distemper Combination), FIV/FeLV negative, flea treated and dewormed and up for adoption through Frankie’s Friends Cat Rescue. You can find him on Petfinder.

It’s all about preventing the births of unwanted kittens so we can love the ones we live with all the more.


Adopted!

ZZ and Charlie, BFFs forever.

ZZ has been featured here along with his brothers Ike and Mickey, but it was his brother Charlie who wooed a visitor at PetSmart, who then decided to adopt both brothers. They were fostered by one of my featured foster homes. Thanks, Lynn, for raising those kitties right!

Can’t adopt? Foster! Can’t foster? Donate or volunteer.

There are so many ways you can help cats who need homes and care. You may not have room to adopt another cat, but can foster a cat or kitten for a few weeks. If not that, you can volunteer at a shelter or with a rescue, or donate. You do this because you love your cat, and by doing so you help all cats. No matter which of these actions you take, you help to save a life, and make life better for all cats.

  • Adopt one of the cats I’ve posted here, or from any shelter or rescue near you, or from Petfinder, to open up a space for another cat to be rescued and fostered.
  • Offer to foster cats or kittens for a shelter or rescue near you.
  • Volunteer at a shelter or rescue.
  • Find a group of volunteers who work with homeless cats and help them with their efforts.
  • Donate to a shelter or rescue near you.

If you can foster kittens or adults cats to help prepare them for a forever home, please run to your nearest shelter and find a cat who needs you! Anyone can help with this effort at any level, even if all you do is donate to a shelter or rescue so they can help to pay for the food or medications needed for their foster, or the spay/neuter/veterinary care during a clinic.
