😿Snoopy is an 8 year old gentleman who came to ACCT Philly on 6/8 as a health surrender after being left behind by his original owner. The person caring for him noticed he couldn't close his mouth and had stopped eating and drinking, so they brought him to the shelter to get the help he desperately needed. In his previous home, Snoopy lived with other animals and was described as a sweet, friendly boy who loved pets on his head and back.
At the shelter, staff discovered that a severely abscessed tooth had become displaced, causing Snoopy significant pain and preventing him from closing his mouth. He underwent several dental extractions, including removal of the infected tooth, and is also being treated for a painful ear infection. While the infected tooth that caused him so much discomfort has been removed, Snoopy still has additional dental needs and may require ongoing treatment for his ear infection.
Even after everything he's endured, Snoopy remains gentle and trusting. During kennel visits, he arches into pets, seeks out attention, and moves closer for more affection. Snoopy deserves the comfort, stability, and love of a home where he can finally leave his difficult past behind. Due to his medical concerns, Snoopy is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.

Behavior
Staff 6/11
Snoopy had just returned from seeing the vet when I went to visit him. He arched his back into pets before walking to the other side of his kennel. When I moved to that side, he walked back to the first side and then jumped up onto his shelf. While on the shelf, he allowed and leaned into pets along his side and neck, only occasionally showing hesitation or lip licking. He shook his head after I scratched near his infected ear. He then moved closer to me on the shelf, continuing to enjoy and accept pets.
Owner surrender notes 6/8
Loves strangers. Don't know how he is around children. Neutral with dogs and selective about other cats. Issues with urination, pees outside the box. Feel he is suffering.
Owner 6/6
I am moving and my roommate’s brother abandoned his cat at the apartment. I have my own pets and cannot take him to my new apartment. He is sick and I cannot care for him. Since Friday he has not closed his mouth and will not eat or drink. Despite reaching out multiple times the brother will not come get him and said we can take him to a shelter. Unfortunately that is the only option we have as I will not leave him here to die. He is very friendly. He is sweet and loves pets on the head and back. He lives with adults, small dogs, and cats. He has had repeated ear infections and currently cannot close his mouth. He has not eaten or drank in 36 hours. Whatever happens he is a very sweet cat that unfortunately had a terrible owner.

***************************************
😿4 year old Java came to ACCT Philly on 5/19 after his owner was hospitalized and could no longer care for their cats. Upon arrival, Java had a significant flea infestation, a large infected rodent ulcer on his upper lip, and inflamed skin along his back. While his lip has improved greatly with treatment, his skin issues have not fully resolved despite ongoing care. A hypoallergenic food trial is now recommended to further investigate underlying allergies.
Despite everything he’s been through, Java has remained a total sweetheart. Staff consistently describe him as gentle, tolerant, and easygoing. He comes right up to the front of his kennel, leans into pets all over his head, neck, and sides, and remains relaxed and receptive even while eating and drinking. He’s now looking for a rescue partner or experienced adopter who can continue his medical care and give him the steady, comfortable home he deserves.
Medical
6/10 Vet Exam
Rodent ulcer continues to decrease in size, but suspected eosinophilic plaque on mid-dorsum has not improved since last recheck. Both were initially attributed to an underlying flea allergy, however, skin issues have not improved significantly despite treatment of fleas and weeks of steroid use. Hypoallergenic food trial is recommended as the next step, and this is not feasible in the shelter setting. Another Convenia injection was administered and prednisolone was continued. SSD prescribed to affected skin twice daily.
5/26 Vet Exam
Rodent ulcer on upper lip is no longer infected and has decreased in size by approximately 50%. Area of moist dermatitis on the back has improved by approximately 25%. Continue prednisolone for an additional week before considering a taper. Animax applied topically twice daily to affected skin on back.
5/19 Vet Exam
Waxy debris in ears. Teeth have diffuse staining and gingivitis. Large infected rodent ulcer on right upper lip. Over-barbered fur with excoriations and moist dermatitis on lower back. Live fleas and flea dirt present. Good body condition, great appetite. Heart, lungs, and abdomen all within normal limits. Prescribed Bravecto, Capstar, Drontal, Convenia, and prednisolone.
FeLV: Negative, FIV: Negative
5/19 Triage Exam
Weight 9.5 lbs, lean body condition. Eyes clear, ears waxy, nose red and swollen, coat and skin with flea rash all over, teeth with yellow staining, gums pale pink and a bit dry.

Such a sweetheart! Came right to the front of his kennel and allowed pets all over his head, neck, and sides.
Staff 5/19
I went to meet Java in his kennel. He allowed pets on his head and under his chin. He drank and ate readily with no issues. Very tolerant of pets, even while eating and drinking.

***************************************
😿Maddax was surrendered on 5/16 after 10 years with his owner, who requested euthanasia due to age and unspecified medical concerns. He arrived with a ruptured abscess at the base of his ear, along with chronic ear infections and cysts within his ear canals. Maddax has been receiving ongoing antibiotics and consistent wound care since arriving at the shelter. His abscess improved significantly with treatment but recently ruptured again. He tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which may be contributing to his difficulty fully resolving this infection in the shelter setting.
Maddax is an affectionate, social, and people-oriented cat who actively seeks out attention and interaction. He leans into care, enjoys connection, and remains engaged with people despite his ongoing medical needs. He deserves the chance to recover in comfort and stability. Maddax is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or experienced adopter who can continue his care, ideally in a home environment.
Medical
6/11 Vet Exam
Recurrent fluctuant swelling noted at base of left ear. By time of exam, abscess had ruptured again and was actively draining purulent discharge. Persistent middle and inner ear infection in left ear with recurrent abscess formation. Given FIV+ status and inability to resolve infection in a shelter setting, Maddax is being timestamped for urgent exit with rescue or experienced adopter.
5/26 Vet Exam
Wound at base of left ear has contracted significantly and developed a healthy granulation bed since starting Zeniquin. Mild erythema, pruritus, and crusty debris remain in both ears. As there is no longer concern for integrity of the tympanic membrane, to apply topical medication in both ears for ear infections.
5/21 Vet Exam
Wound at base of left ear has improved but remains open and actively draining. Prescribed Zeniquin and SSD.
5/16 Intake Exam
Reported 10 year old male surrendered for owner-requested euthanasia due to unspecified medical issues. Complete cataract in right eye. Both ears with ceruminous cystomatosis, worse on left, with purulent discharge and a ruptured draining abscess below left ear. Mild to moderate dental tartar and staining. Otherwise skin and lymph nodes within normal limits. Heart, lungs, and abdomen within normal limits. Bloodwork showed elevated white blood cell count with monocytosis, neutrophilia, and elevated globulin. FIV positive. Weight 10.8 lbs.
In house CBC/chem17/T4: WBC 18830/ul (monocytosis, neutrophilia), globulin 6.5 g/dl
FeLV: Negative, FIV: Positive
Behavior
Staff 6/11
Maddax was sleeping with his head facing the back of the kennel. He is in a top kennel, so I touched his hind end after opening the kennel door to get him to wake up. I may have startled him a bit, because he bumped his water bowl and it came flying out of the kennel. He was a little hesitant when I first touched him and shook his head, but I realized afterwards that he has wounds in the area I touched. He was very tolerant of pets on the other side of his head and neck.
Staff 5/21
I went to meet Maddax and he was laying down in his cat condo. He meowed when I approached the door. I opened the door and he came right up to greet me. I pet him all over which he allowed and leaned into. He would take moments to rub against the bars and then come back to head butt my arm or hand. He is a super sweet, super soft love bug!
Staff 5/16
Very sweet guy.

***************************************
😿8 year old Daisy came to ACCT Philly on 6/6 after her owner had to move to housing that did not allow pets. She is described as a laid-back but playful companion who enjoys long naps, and her owner felt she would do best in a quiet home with one older person. Based on her history, Daisy would likely prefer to be the only pet in the household.
Though she can be cautious with new people, Daisy has shown staff that beneath her reserved exterior is a sweet cat who enjoys affection on her own terms. Once she feels comfortable, she leans into gentle head and neck scratches, happily soaking up quiet companionship from those she trusts.
Daisy's recent senior exam revealed significant periodontal disease that will require a dental procedure with multiple tooth extractions as soon as possible. Her thyroid level also fell within a "grey zone" that warrants future monitoring. Due to her medical needs and the urgency of arranging dental care, Daisy is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.
Medical
6/9 Vet Exam
Significant periodontal disease, especially affecting teeth 104, 207, and 208. Spayed female in overweight body condition. FIV and FeLV negative. Mild neutrophilia and hyperglobulinemia. Mild hyperglycemia (likely a stress response). "Grey zone" thyroid level. Prescribed gabapentin. Will need a dental with multiple extractions as soon as possible. Recheck of T4 and glucose recommended in 3–6 months, or sooner if signs of hyperthyroidism or diabetes develop.
6/6/26 Intake Exam
Weight 12.96 lbs, overweight body condition (7/9). Eyes clear, ears clean, nose clear, coat and skin clean. Teeth stained with heavy tartar on molars, gums moist and red.
Old notes:
1/1/21 Intake Exam: Teeth and body in good condition. Pregnant, spayed.
Behavior
Staff 6/11
Daisy was sleeping in her litter box when I approached. She was just a tiny bit hesitant at first and lip licked, then turned her head towards my hand when I pet down her back. However she absolutely loved neck scratches and leaned in for them! When I stopped petting her she began rubbing her cheek on the edge of the litter box.
Staff 6/9
I went to say hello to Daisy, and she was scrunched up in her litterbox. She scrunched up even more once I approached her, but allowed me to pet her all over. I stopped every few seconds because her notes listed she has a short fuse, and she would sniff my hand every time. She seemed to enjoy head scratches, but was neutral aside from that, not soliciting more affection during the intervals.
Staff 6/9
Sweet girl with a short fuse.
Staff 6/6
Scared but allowed handling.
Owner surrender notes 6/6
Lazy, sleeps a lot and playful. Medium energy level. Litter trained, indoor only cat. No behavioral concerns noted by owner. Does not like other cats. Has not ever seen dogs. Isn't friendly with strangers until she gets to know them. Would do best in a home with one older person.
Old notes:
Per owner surrender notes 3/5/21: Cat has been attacking dog, scratching and trying to bite owner sometimes. She is a sweetheart, follows owner and likes chin scratched. Sometimes suddenly trying to bite. Snuggles up to dog, then suddenly turns and tries to pounce at dog. She can be really friendly when she wants to. She uses the litterbox and has a good appetite. Owner doesnt think she should be placed with dogs, cats, or kids. She needs a quiet home with patient owners. Ideal home would be quiet and calm, no other cats kids or pets and a patient owner who can train her a bit. She is a real sweetheart besides being set off by something.
Per staff 3/5/21: On morning of 3/5, Daisy drew blood on owner while trying to get her into a carrier to bring her into the shelter. The scratch was on her hand and drew a small amount of blood. Daisy often scratches and tries to bite and this was the most recent exposure.
Per finder 12/31/20: Stray showed up at our house.
