Nickey, Shelly & Steffon are three boys from a group of nine who came to ACCT Philly on 4/27 after their beloved owner passed away. All three arrived understandably shaken by the loss of the only home they had ever known. In the weeks since their arrival, all three have been slowly but meaningfully opening up. Steffon is the most outgoing of the trio — he’s been purring during chin scratches, meowing to greet visitors, and rubbing himself against legs with clear affection. Nickey, often found close by Shelly’s side or even right on top of him, is calm and tolerant of gentle pets, though he takes some time to warm up. Shelly, who can usually be found up high, has started leaning into chin scratches and has been seen rubbing his body against staff legs — a huge milestone for a boy who spent his first days curled into himself. With each passing day, these boys are showing more of who they really are: sweet, gentle companions who are ready to grieve and heal in a calm and loving home. Since they came from a home with so many cats, they are not bonded with each other and can go to separate homes. Due to their behavioral concerns, Nickey, Shelly & Steffon are urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner, experienced foster, or experienced adopter.
GROUP BEHAVIOR NOTES 5/29:
After spending only a short few days getting to know these boys their personality's have started to grow tremendously. Shelly is usually up high with Nickey somewhere close by. With a slow approach Shelly will allow you to pet him all over and will lean in for chin scratches. He loves hard treat and sniffing all around him. When I went in to say hello to the boys today Shelly was out eating & as I walked in he went back to his hiding spot. I walked over and let him sniff me and then said hello to Steffon who was meowing at me on the floor. Before I could look back up Shelly was on the floor next to Steffon sniffing me and rubbing his body onto my legs. Shelly even had the confidence to stand out in the room while a new aca came to drop off his food today. He only retreated to his cat tree once a loud car came by and the room started to get really loud. I went over to him and he still allowed all rubs and leaning into them. Shelly is definitely warming up amazingly and will be a lap cat in no time.
***************************************
😿Nickey is a 5 year old male weighing 11.88 lbs. Neutered.
NICKEY'S BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per staff 5/29: Nickey was in a cubby and didn't look up at me for pictures even when I touched his cheeks. I reached in and pet him and he was tolerant, did not react at all. He has the biggest, most adorable cheeks!
Per staff 5/26: Nickey is usually close by or on top of Shelly. He may shy away and airplane ear to start but will still tolerate rubs all over, I have not gotten him to eat any wet or dry treats though, but I have gotten him to stop airplane earring when I go in for a pet.
Per staff 5/24: Sweet Nickey is laying right on top of Shelly right now.
Per staff 5/21: Laying behind litter box, removed litter box from kennel and put den in. Walked into the den as I pushed it closer to him.
Per staff 5/2: Allowed some petting around his big handsome cheeks, but started to wince and hiss when I got closer. Had some untouched treats. Did not escalate.
Per intake 4/27: Hitting the carrier.

***************************************
😿Shelly is an 8 year old male weighing 8.96 lbs. On 5/13 FeLV: Negative, FIV: Negative Neutered.
SHELLY'S BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per staff 5/29: Shelly was laying in an open cubby and lifted his head once I began petting him. He allowed pets down his back and reached over to sniff my hand. He even leaned in a little for pets on his head.
Per staff 5/26: You can usually find Shelly up high. Shelly loves hard treats and has started to also love chin rubs. Shelly has been melting into them and sitting up to sniff my head and just putting his face close to my face through a hole in his hideout.
Per staff 5/24: I started this morning going slow and offering Shelly churu which he did not touch but sniffed at me a little. When I came back I put my hand close to him and at first he didn't move then I put it on his head and he had no reaction so i gave him some pets. He picked his head up and I started rubbing his chin which he started melting into. I rubbed him some more and then over to Nickey who was laying on top of Shelly. Shelly put his head back down and I rubbed him more. He seems super sweet he just needs some time to feel safe.
Per staff 5/21: Laying in litter box, didn't want to move and was making himself small, used a towel to pick him up and put in den.
Per staff 5/15: I went to say hello to Shelly and he was very curled up in one of his litter boxes. I began to pet him, and he allowed me to pet him all over, but did not react or solicit more when I stopped. He did look at my hand when I pet his back but otherwise did nothing. I could tell he was pretty hesitant so I stopped after around 30 seconds.
SHELLY'S MEDICAL NOTES:
Shelly has a medical waiver for a left testicular tumor, which has been removed via neuter, and hair loss along his hindquarters, which may be related to hormonal changes from the tumor or possible skin sensitivities such as flea allergy dermatitis. His fur has been growing back and he has gained weight while in our care. Any placement should be prepared for follow-up veterinary care as needed to monitor and manage these conditions.

***************************************
😿Steffon is a 4 year old male weighing 8.86 lbs. Neutered.
STEFFON'S BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per staff 5/29: Steffon was in the cat tree when I entered the room. He stuck his head forward to sniff my hand, but moved it backwards when I went to pet him. I let him sniff again and then gave him a few pets on his head and hind end.
Per staff 5/26: Steffon will eat any treat and even stole some treats from Nickey who just sat and watched. Steffon was purring during chin scratches! He came out during our time together and was meowing coming over for pets, Steffon was rubbing his body all over my legs! He's definitely the most outgoing so far and is only going to come out of his shell in time!
Per staff 5/21: Went through portal to other side of kennel when I opened kennel door. Other staff member opened that side and picked him up to put in the den.
Per staff 5/8: Returning from the Cat Doctor due to stress. Steffon is hiding and hissing. He attempts to swat staff while they are cleaning his kennel.
Per staff 4/27: Friendly, allowed all handling and physical exam.

😿Guinness is a five week old kitten arrived at ACCT Philly as a stray on 5/27 after being found with a broken leg. Despite her young age and discomfort, she has already shown a sweet, gentle nature. She can be a little nervous at first, but she has been tolerant and cooperative during her exam and other handling by staff. There are a few treatment options for her injured leg, including splinting, surgical repair, or amputation. With appropriate rescue placement and continued medical care, this tiny girl has every chance at a full and happy life. Due to her medical concerns, Guinness is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.
Medical
5/27 Vet Exam
Guinness was limping on her right front leg and x-rays confirmed a right radial fracture. She has been prescribed pain management until rescue placement is secured.
Panleukopenia SNAP: Negative
Behavior
Staff 5/27
Sweet baby. A little nervous, but tolerant of pets. Absolutely adorable!
Staff 5/27

***************************************
😿Tig is a 15 year old female who was owner surrendered on 5/26 after struggling with inappropriate elimination for two years despite multiple veterinary visits, antibiotic courses, and litterbox changes. Tig arrived with a matted, urine-stained coat and overgrown nails, but her spirit came through immediately — she's a total sweetheart who is happy to greet staff and soak up every bit of affection offered.
Unfortunately, Tig has several medical concerns, including elevated blood glucose and kidney values, urinary issues, ear infections, an upper respiratory infection, and dental disease. She has started treatment for her medical conditions and will require additional diagnostics, continued follow-up care, and a dental cleaning as she continues on the path toward feeling her best. Due to her medical concerns, Tig is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.
Medical
5/27 Vet Exam
Tig has marked periodontal disease. Both ear canals are red, inflamed, and severely itchy with heavy brown debris. She has moderate watery discharge from both eyes and marked mucoid nasal discharge, consistent with an URI. Her coat is severely matted with flea dirt, her nails are overgrown, and she has urine scalding near her v***a. Skin turgor is prolonged, suggesting mild dehydration. She is suspected to be spayed based on undeveloped mammary glands.
Bloodwork showed elevated glucose at 387 (possible diabetes versus stress), elevated creatinine and BUN, and elevated total protein and globulins. A follow-up blood glucose spot check was 302. Abdominal x-rays showed no obvious bladder stones. A urine sample could not be collected and will be reattempted. Her bladder appeared small on ultrasound with no obvious stones. Her matted hair was shaved as much as she would tolerate. A urine collection kit was placed in the cage along with monitoring for appetite, vomiting, and elimination. She requires further workup to confirm diabetes, ongoing treatment, and eventually a dental cleaning under anesthesia.
5/26 Triage Exam
Coat matted with urine staining. Ears dirty and itchy. Dental staining, tartar, and missing incisors noted.
5/26 Surrender notes
She sometimes urinates on the floor. She normally eats soft food and is missing teeth. She is still drinking water normally. Unsure if she is suffering. She is old and mostly sleeps.
5/26 Conversation with owner
Cat is older and started peeing on the floor. Has been happening for about 2 years. Took to vet for this several times though 2 years for this and they gave antibiotics, changed litterboxes, etc, just still sometimes urinates on floor and sometimes in the litterbox.
Behavior
Staff 5/27
Super sweet girl. Was on top of her den but jumped down as soon as I opened the kennel door and was trying to come out of the kennel. Allowed pets all over. Very hard to get a good picture or video because of how sweet she is!
Staff 5/27
Very sweet
Owner surrender notes 5/26
Tig loves strangers and children. She is slow to interact with other cats and has not been around dogs.

***************************************
😿Buttons is a small 8 year old female, 4.98 lbs, who came to ACCT Philly on 4/11 as part of a multi-cat surrender following her owner's passing. The relative who brought Buttons in described her as very shy, prone to hiding, and most comfortable in calm environments. In the shelter, Buttons has remained fearful and guarded. She typically stays at the back of her kennel and hisses when approached. With patient, slow interaction she has shown small signs of engagement — a volunteer was able to spend extended time with her and get her playing with a wand toy, and she eventually stopped hissing during that session. Buttons would do best in a calm, quiet environment with someone who will give her time and space to decompress on her own terms. She recently developed what appears to be an ulcer on her left eye and has been too fearful to be fully examined or treated. Due to her medical and behavioral concerns, Buttons is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.
Medical
5/27 Vet Note
Based on photo, concern for corneal ulcer OS or other ocular pathology.
5/8 and 5/9 Tech Note
Wouldn't let me give erythro due to hissing and spitting
5/7 Vet Exam
Squinting left eye. Mild ocular crusting discharge around left eye. Prescribed erythromycin eye ointment for 7 days.
4/12 Vet Exam
Mild dental disease, mild gingivitis.
4/11 Intake Exam
Right ear itchy. Possible bloody discharge from nose. Live fleas present on coat. Dental staining on all teeth. Gums pink and moist.
Behavior
Staff 5/27
Buttons was laying in the back of her kennel in her litter box and hissed when I opened up the kennel door. She swatted when I tried to reach in with the fake hand. When I touched her with it, her ears were back and she tried to bite the hand, then lip licked and moved to the other side of her kennel. With the kennel door shut, I reached the hand in through that side of the kennel, but did not try to touch her. She raised her paw but did not swat at it, then lip licked as I calmly talked to her.
Staff 5/22
Went to meet Buttons for updated photos and videos, was hissing and spitting at staff from back of kennel.
Volunteer 5/5
I spent some time with Buttons. She did play a little bit with a stick/feather toy. She liked both ends of it. Hopefully more volunteers help to break her out of her shell. She eventually stopped hissing at me and allowed me to get my whole upper body into her kennel and put my hands next to her. I got greedy though and came back later and when I went to pet her she did swipe at me but missed.
Staff 5/5
Will hiss and lunge if you attempt to pet her.
Staff 4/29
Button remained at the back of her kennel when staff approached. She displayed defensive behavior, including hissing, but did not attempt to lunge or swat. She maintained distance and appeared fearful but not actively aggressive.
Staff 4/11
Very nervous.
Owner surrender notes 4/11
This cat is very shy. Litter trained. Lived with male and female cats. Medium energy. Hides and is scared of strangers. Ideal home would be a calm environment with just her and maybe one other cat.

***************************************
😿Curry has a history that actually begins at ACCT Philly — he first came through the shelter as a two-week-old bottle baby, went into foster care, and was adopted into a loving home once he was old enough. He spent nearly eight years with his owner and another cat, Peanut, before being surrendered on 5/27, when his owner's declining health made it increasingly difficult to care for them. Curry's owner described him as friendly and eager for attention. He would gently bump into and "tackle" people for affection, earning him the nickname "little football player." At the shelter, he can be nervous at first but warms up quickly with gentle handling, leaning into head pets and chin scratches. His owner noted bleeding from his hind end, and further evaluation showed bladder stones with a risk of urinary obstruction. He will need either a cystotomy with stone analysis or management with a dissolution diet. Due to his medical concerns, Curry is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner. A foster who is willing to monitor closely for signs of reblocking is needed. A blocked cat could cost anywhere from 1k-10k depending on the severity and if the blocking reoccurs so financial backing is also incredibly helpful.
Medical
5/27 Vet Exam
Curry came in with visible bleeding at the tip of his prepuce. His urinary bladder was soft and medium sized. He is overweight with a body condition score of 7-8/9. An abdominal x-ray identified three radiopaque bladder stones. Bloodwork showed a mildly elevated creatinine at 1.8, which may indicate mild kidney impairment or dehydration and all other values were normal. Curry was given antibiotics, fluids, and was started on pain medication. He was placed on a urinary diet. Curry needs a cystotomy with stone analysis or a stone dissolution diet. He is at risk of urinary obstruction.
5/27 Staff
Owner stated Curry has been bleeding from his hind end. She stated she believes it's something stuck. Owner explained this has happened before previously but she is unable to assess it due to her health/age.
Behavior
Staff 5/27
I went to say hi to Curry, and he was huddled in the back of his feral den out of fear. I began to pet him, and he allowed pets all over, even leaning somewhat into head pets & chin scritches. He did still seem nervous though, and would shift around & backwards during the pets. Sweet but nervous kitty!
Staff 5/27
Nervous but very friendly.
Owner surrender notes 5/27
Medium energy, enjoys independent play, playing with other cats and people, napping, zoomies, and hunting. Favorite toys include mouse toys, laser pointer, cardboard boxes, balls, cat hammocks, and catnip toys. Scratches on posts, cardboard, rope/sisal mats, and carpet. Fully litter trained, almost never has accidents. Uses a covered litter box with scented or fragrance-free clumping litter. Sleeps in a bed or blanket on the floor or in a separate room. Eats both dry and wet food, primarily Sheba Perfect Portions. Enjoys Temptations and Delectables treats. Responds to his name sometimes and to kissing/clicking sounds, as well as clapping with "let's go" when it's time to go downstairs. Reaction to strangers, children, and other cats depends on the situation. Has not been around dogs. A little bit interested in wildlife. His ideal home would be someplace he can look outside and soak up sun. Petting and love. He likes to be petted and rub but he just keeps walking away and coming back. He loves boxes no matter the size. He loves toys on string.
Owner 5/17
Curry is affectionate and newsy he will bump/tackle you. I call him "little football player". When petting him for some reason he keeps walking away or in circles and coming back.

😿Blair was one of 50 cats that came to ACCT after their owner passed away. In a house with many cats, a person's ability to socialize each little personality is diminished, as essential care like food and water is prioritized. Blair is a healthy, 4 year old, & is accustomed to the company of other cats and his person, but less so to being doted on. While we have seen marked improvements in his behavior, he still remains aloof, and occasionally reactive. Staff have noted that Blair communicates clearly when he feels uncomfortable and benefits greatly from patient, low-pressure interactions that allow him to feel safe and in control.
Since arriving at the shelter, Blair has slowly shown small but meaningful signs of progress. He has shown curiosity toward enrichment like wand toys and treats, and more recently has even begun hesitantly accepting gentle touch in exchange for wet treats. Staff also report that Blair spends much of his day quietly people-watching from the front of his kennel, showing interest in his surroundings while continuing to build confidence at his own pace.
Continuing to keep him in a kennel is inhibiting his progress. We would love to see this guy able to explore and enjoy his life on his terms, either with an understanding adopter, a foster experienced with socialization, or a rescue that can set him up for success. Blair is also available as a working cat, since he may not be interested in human companionship and might prefer a business relationship.
Behavior
5/18 Staff
Blair has started to hesitantly let me touch his butt in trade for wet treats!
4/8 Staff
Interested in wand toy, watches from a distance. As soon as I approached in kennel, ears back, tense posture and hissing. Disengaged to further not stress out.
2/11
A handsome gentleman who spends his day people watching from the safety of his kennel door. Seems semi interested in attention from people but started hissing when I opened kennel door. He let me give him a pet and politely hissed at me to stop. Tossed in some treats lifted his paw timidly and I left him alone.

***************************************
😿Lola is an 11 year old, very fancy senior cat who was surrendered to ACCT when her owner could not take her with them to a new residence. Lola has significant dental disease that will require dental cleaning and possible extractions. She needs to leave with either an adopter who can take on her dental issues, a foster who can facilitate this care offsite, or a rescue that can get Lola all set up for her next chapter.
Behaviorally, Lola is sensitive and cautious in the shelter environment. She often prefers to rest quietly in her space and may growl or avoid interaction when approached or stressed. However, she has also shown that with patience and gentle interaction, she can accept attention and even enjoy soft engagement once she feels safe. Since moving her to a larger cat-condo, Lola has opened up considerably, and has no issue expressing her demands of staff and passersby. She's remarkably chatty, very motivated by snacks, and seems to have broken out of her shell now that she has been given more space to roam.

5/7 Staff
Pet Lola for just a quick second while I was in her area. She enjoyed it, meowed, and leaned in for more.
4/18 Staff
Lola is such a sweetheart. I’ve visited her with new cat volunteers a couple times now, since she’s such a great example of a cat who may seem like she prefers her personal space (always laying down on her shelf, in back of her cage) and doesn’t solicit much attention on her own - but who blossoms whenever you go to say hello. With a little coaxing and reassurance she’ll lean into pets, enjoy batting at a wand toy, and accept treats.
4/4 Staff
Resting loafed on shelf in kennel when I approached, tail tucked tight around body. Eyes were relaxed. Tossed in enrichment and she growled. Gave space.

She is affectionate towards anyone who feeds her. Anyone else, she is wary about.

😿Fireball is a 14 year old neutered male who arrived as a stray on May 25th. His finder noted that he appeared to have a large stomach while being very thin, and described him as friendly but scared. Upon intake he was underweight and dehydrated, experiencing diarrhea, and showed multiple bloodwork abnormalities. From the moment he arrived, he has been actively seeking out attention — vocalizing for staff, coming forward for pets, and nuzzling into hands. He is gentle, cooperative, and clearly loves affection. Fireball will require a rescue partner who can provide ongoing medical care and pursue further diagnostics. Due to his medical concerns, Fireball is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.

Staff 5/25
I went to say hi to Fireball. Notably, every time I entered the supportive care room previously, he would vocalize at me for attention. When I came toward the kennel door, he continued to vocalize & came forward for pets. He stood still while I took some pictures, and then allowed me to pet him all over. He did attempt a few times to walk out of kennel, but was fine with me picking him up to move him back. Very sweet kitty!
