My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Penelope! Penelope and her sister Venelope were surrendered to our shelter after their owner decided she no longer wished to care for them. They were stripped from everything they knew, including their 10 year old human sister.  They had never seen a vet before, and were terribly anxious, in heat, and very overweight. They were completely shut down after being dropped off at the shelter, and it took us months to overcome their fears and anxiety. We worked with them every day to build back their confidence and got them on a high quality diet to ensure their joints didn't take such a hit with all of their extra weight. They are NOT a bonded pair. They also do not require another cat in the home, they can both be adopted out individually and to homes where they'd be the only cat. Penelope likes Churu and treats. She will approach you for affection, but only when she wants it. She is a very clean cat that does not make a whole lot of noise. She would be ideal for someone that is elderly or someone that does not have small children. We recommend 10 and older. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines & FIV/FELV negative. If you're interested in giving Penelope a forever home, please apply at www.castawaycritters.org/adopt or email info@castawaycritters.org for inquiries!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 18, 2025, 9:44 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Penelope, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
