Please note, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary changes in the adoption policy at the Northumberland County Animal Shelter is limiting prospective adopters to residents of Northumberland County and surrounding counties. Available shelter pets can be viewed here on our website at the "ADOPTABLE DOGS" or "ADOPTABLE CATS" tabs. In addition, local residents interested in adopting a pet can find instructions on how to apply by selecting the "ADOPT A PET" tab. When your application is approved, the Shelter Manager will call you and set an appointment for you to meet your chosen pet.
This page is dedicated to all of the cats waiting for their forever homes. They are all up to date on their vaccinations. If they have not been spayed or neutered yet, you will receive a certificate from the Shelter upon adoption that covers the cost, generously funded by the Animal Welfare League. If you have questions regarding these wonderful pets, please call the Shelter at (804) 580-6156.

Coco - special needs cat
Coco is a beautiful 2 year old calico. She's looking for a kind heart who has a few extra minutes to spend on her care. Coco is incontinent in both bowel and bladder from a fall (she has no spinal damage or other issues). She would need a room with hard floors or puppy pads, or a cat condo. She occasionally goes in her litter box, but can't control her pee or poops. We use puppy pads in her condo. She also needs a quick wipe and dry of her behind once a day. We let her out in the playroom like the rest of the cats. She is playful and sweet, loves attention and throwing catnip mice around. She likes other cats. Coco is spayed.

Mia
Mia is a cute female calico cat with a fun, bright personality to match her beautiful coat and eyes. She's very people friendly, loves being petted, and playing with wand toys. She likes to greet everyone coming into the adoption room. This three year old girl is a resilient lady who shows no signs of having been a neglected cat dropped at the dump with her kittens (who were amazingly healthy due to Mia,and have since been adopted). She still likes to eat, a lot, probably because she couldn't count on regular meals. Thankfully, she is very playful and will work off any extra weight. Mia is spayed.

Coan

Coan is a 1 year old male brown tabby with beautiful green eyes. He is super cute and affectionate. He is playful, cuddly and likes to be held. Coan definitely prefers women. He's been cared for by primarily female volunteers and staff since he was a tiny kitten, so that's his comfort level. However, he will certainly warm up to men with a little time and patience to earn his trust. Likewise, because shelter life is all he's really known, he can be shy meeting new people. But if you let him come out of his condo on his own, and sit patiently on the floor, he will introduce his charming self in no time. Trust us that he's a special guy and will make a wonderful, loving companion. He is neutered.
