Roxie's Place Cat Rescue is a registered non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, and home to 150+ free-roaming cats. We are a volunteer-run cat sanctuary founded by Mari Hart, located in Covington Township, PA. We are committed to caring for all cats regardless of age, health, or history, and we attempt to find all adoptable cats their forever homes! All our feline residents are comfortable at the shelter until they are adopted, and those who are less adoptable due to illness or behavior issues have a warm, safe place to call home for the rest of their lives. Of course, most of our cats would much rather be at home getting cozy on the couch with you! So don't overlook the shy ones, the bonded pairs, the special needs cats or the cats with FIV/FELV, all they want is a little love too!
Our potential adopters are required to complete an adoption application. Our application requires veterinary and personal references as well as landlord information (if applicable) etc. The full adoption process usually takes about a week depending on the number of applications we have. Please note that we do NOT do same-day adoptions (this means we won’t send a cat home with a potential adopter the same day the application is turned in). Once the application is approved, under most circumstances we will make an appointment with our vet to have your kitty re-checked before pick up. This is to make sure you are provided with an up to date health record, and your new little guy or gal is in optimal health for the transition into your home. We ask that you please bring a plastic pet carrier when you arrive for pick up. The canvas carriers with zippers break easily, so a plastic carrier (large enough for an adult cat) is required.
