Last month, we celebrated Adopt a Shelter Cat Month with our friends at ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter – but this year, we’re extending the festivities through July! There are more feline buddies available for adoption in Los Angeles and New York City, so there’s no better time to consider bringing home a new BFF! These cute AI-generated images of our cats, provided by ARM & HAMMER, help spotlight their most adorable features!
If you do adopt any of these fantastic felines, you’ll also be taking part in what we call The Rescue Effect! This incredible movement ripples across shelters after an animal is adopted, which then opens up more space for animals to get the care they need and find the loving homes they deserve.
These cats are waiting for you in Los Angeles:
Holland

This fluffy guy is full of energy and love! Holland is a chatty cat who is always eager to play, whether that’s with a toy or a cardboard box. The quickest way to his heart is with tasty treats, and he’ll show his appreciation by rubbing against you affectionately. If you’re looking for a playful cat, visit Holland’s profile to learn more about him!
Holland is now available for adoption with our friends at Santa Barbara Humane!
Jasper and Alice are a brother and sister pair who are truly inseparable! They love each other dearly, so they are looking to be adopted together. Jasper is more playful and outgoing, and Alice is a bit shyer, but she is quite affectionate with her friends. These sweet cats spend all day and night together, and they are looking forward to having a home of their own. Check out their profiles to apply for them!
You can find these cool cats in New York City:
Sundance

Are you ready to meet sweet Kaylee? She’s ready to meet you! Kaylee is a sweet older cat who would love to cuddle up by your side on the couch.

Princess

Princess is ready to rule your home like it’s her castle! This quirky cat loves chasing after wand toys and snacking on good treats. She’s always happy for a fun play session, but she also likes to wind down and relax. Princess is still learning to enjoy pets from people, so her adopter should take a slow approach as she gets to know them. Check out her profile to learn all about this regal cat!
Jog and Cruise

These brothers are a tag team of fun and affection! Jog and Cruise are bonded and must go home together, and their adopter should let them warm up to their new family at their own pace. Cruise is an independent boy who likes to play or birdwatch from a window, and Jog is a sweetie who enjoys hanging out by the side of his friends.

Macaroni

Macaroni is ready to bring his finest tuxedo to the catwalk! This confident guy was initially a little shy in his foster home, but with some time and tasty treats, he’s come out of his shell. He loves to chat with his people and greet them cheerfully! He’s ready to find a home of his own, especially if there’s a window perch to relax on and catnip toys to play with. Check out his profile to apply to adopt Macaroni!
If you don’t live in the Los Angeles or tri-state areas, but are interested in adopting a new kitty companion, you can check out your local shelter or visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC!
You can also change the lives of animals in need by becoming a foster caregiver! Fosters play a vital role in The Rescue Effect, since they also help to create more space at shelters and play a critical role in an animal’s journey to finding a loving home. Fosters are especially important for cats like these, so that they can learn what home life is like and show off their true personalities! You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Los Angeles and Weaverville, North Carolina (dog fosters only).
Visit aspca.org/TheRescueEffect to learn more about how you can make a lifesaving impact all year round!
