My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BIG, Lovable, Orange/Caramel Tabby, Biscuit-Making, Purr-Machine!!!  We'd like to introduce you to Landon!  On Jan. 7, 2025, we brought handsome, green-eyed Landon home to foster.  He has settled-in just fine. Landon makes biscuits while he walks with his tail up high, he purrs when he is resting, he purrs a good bit of the day, and he purrs loudly.  He's a leg-brusher.  Landon likes to be near or on a lap, even if the lap is not large enough. (Landon weighs a solid, muscular 19.2 pounds). He nuzzles and gets as close as he can - not even a sheet of paper will fit between him and his person.  He likes pets and scratches and rubs, but he does have a limit.  If he begins to wrap his paws around your wrist, it is his signal that he has had enough.  (It may be a male, orange tabby trait.  My large, male, orange tabby of many moons ago did the same thing).  

He does not meow much, but when he does, it is a softer meow.  Landon does not use his bed during the day - it might be too small!  He prefers to stretch out on the settee or on the couch.  He also likes to curl up on the couch with a pillow for his head.  He LOVES the front window - the birds have really caught his attention - and is our own Mrs. Kravitz. ('Bewitched' fans will know who this is).  The back slider offers another outside perspective.  He may stop-by between window-surfing to give a leg rub, or to receive a head scratch, or to pause for a quick rest from all of his surveillance.

Landon likes the teaser wand toy and plays a bit with a ball tower.  He does like to be brushed and will allow me to cut his nails, two paws per session, so far.  Surprisingly, he had no reaction to the vacuum cleaner.

The day after we brought Landon home to foster, he met 8 family members, all at once; the youngest is 5 years old.  He LOVES people!

Landon needs people, attention and space but no other cats.  Landon has always been an only cat and would thrive in a household with adults that can shower him with love.  His new family will need to happily pet Landon and give him scratches and rubs, allow him to be a lap cat or to be next to his person/people, have a window for watching the world go by and just want a big, friendly, young (about 4ish years old) cat that likes to purr and knead.  As a bonus, Landon usually will come when called and  will happily oblige if you pat your lap for him to join you.

Landon is already microchipped for his new family to add their information.  According to Landon's paperwork, he received a 3-year rabies shot in Sept. 2024.  (Note:  Landon had been adopted in 2023, and sadly, his loving person died in the Fall of 2024.  One of our FC volunteers drove to Massachusetts and brought Landon back to FC).

Landon's video is from his time at our clinic/shelter:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a-Z6tdmcIXQ .

Please submit a no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt today: Forgotten Cats Adoption Application.  Thank you!  (Foster:  Anita and Eric L.)

More about this rescue

Founded in 2003, Forgotten Cats, Inc. is the leading trap, neuter, vaccinate, return (TNVR) nonprofit in the region. Servicing Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, Forgotten Cats specializes in TNVR in order to humanely reduce the homeless cat population. Valuing all lives, Forgotten Cats is a no kill organization.

Forgotten Cats’ TNVR services involve working with colony caregivers to identify all cats within a colony, after which we trap, transport, sterilize, vaccinate, recuperate, and return feral cats to caregivers. Our goal is to stabilize each colony and ensure zero population growth. We achieve this by trapping and sterilizing every single cat in the entire colony.

About 20 percent of the cats that enter our clinics each year are not feral. Stray cats, or homeless domesticated cats, and feral kittens under 12 weeks old, are held and placed into our adoption network. With ten off-site adoption centers, our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to prepare our cats for adoption and ensure they go to loving, forever homes.

Forgotten Cats serves the community by offering affordable TNVR services, low cost spay/neuter services for pet & stray cats, and spay/neuter education.

Forgotten Cats has over 700 volunteers that are committed to helping this organization fulfill its mission. We receive no government funding, and depend solely on private donations, grants, fundraising events, and bequests to complete our mission.

Since 2003, Forgotten Cats has sterilized over 130,000 cats across the region, which has prevented the birth and suffering of millions of kittens. Additionally, we have placed over 14,000 cats into loving, forever homes. At our no-kill clinic/shelters, we welcome the FIV+ & FeLV+ cats, the blind, the 3-legged, the lost, those that have been abused, and those that have been abandoned. We offer love and hope to the Forgotten Cats from all walks of life.

Vision:
We envision a day when kittens are no longer born on the streets but rather in loving homes to responsible owners.

Mission:
Our mission is to humanely reduce the homeless cat population and to stop the suffering of the thousands of kittens born to abandoned, homeless cats.

Not quite sure you are ready to be a full-time cat parent? Please consider our foster program! You can care for a cat/kitten for as little as two days, a couple of weeks, or longer. It's up to you. Please contact us! https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/
