In the shelter’s words
This cat is part of our shelter outreach program where we take pets from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped. FIV/Felv negative. Update 7/20/26: Porthos is truly one of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet. He would love to be your one and only pet - and trust us, his affection and companionship are more than enough to fill a home. When Porthos arrived, he was dealing with some skin issues that we’ve been treating. He is currently doing well on a Hill’s z/d prescription diet and Atopica for allergies. His future family should be prepared to continue this care and partner with their veterinarian to keep him feeling his best. We know that medical needs can sometimes make it harder for a cat to find a home, but we hope someone will soon see past the extra care and fall in love with the gentle, loving boy we know. Porthos deserves to trade his cage for a cozy spot in a forever home. 4 years old. Please don't be put off by this boys shy demeanor. He is one of the sweetest cats around. A total lovebug. He likes to soak up all the affection and snuggles from staff and volunteers. Also a hard worker...he doesn't stop making biscuits! He is not a fan of being picked up but he loves to snuggles and be close to people. A perfect companion for anyone looking for a calm, quiet little guy. 9/18/26 12pm

Adoption Fees: Dogs $100.00 Cats $45.00 Puppies $75 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit Kittens $30 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit Rabbits $35 Adoption Process Our friendly, knowledgable team of staff and volunteers would be glad to give you a tour of the shelter and discuss whether one of our furry friends is the right match for your home. Please click here for our location and visiting hours. The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc) and we give preference to homes in the Eastern PA, New Jersey, Southern New York and Northern Delaware region (please note: we do not ship animals). We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters. These policies and procedures are in place to protect everyone involved and are very common when rehoming animals, whether through a shelter or a rescue group. We do not have "same day" adoptions. Rather, an application for an animal is reviewed to ensure that 1) the home has taken good care of their other animals * 2) The animal is permitted in the home and 3) that it is the right home for the right animal (choosing dog that likes cats if cats already in household, etc..). Typically this process takes 24-48 hours. If a dog application is approved and there are other dogs in the home, we have the two (or more) dogs meet; many times if necessary.
