| Meet Peggy, a very special cat in search of a very special home. When Peggy came to HCF she was in very rough shape - underweight, parasites inside and out, a skin infection, extensive damage to her ears from repeated ear mite infections, extensive dental disease, and missing most of her back feet. We instantly fell in love with her and could see she had a fighting spirit. She went to a foster home where she received antibiotics, parasite medication, ear medication, and nutritious food to help her put on much needed weight. We had no idea what her personality would be like. It was obvious that she had seen many hard days outside and we weren't sure how she would react to people and other cats. Despite all the hardships she had been through, she instantly bonded with her foster mom, climbing into her lap and purring like mad. She wants only to love and be loved by people. Her lack of back feet makes her "differently-abled" but does not slow her down at all. She moves quickly and confidently using her front legs and the stumps of her back legs. She climbs up the cat tower with ease and looks quite pleased with herself when she reaches the top. Peggy received an extensive dental to remove many of her sore teeth and is doing great. Her veterinarian feels the issue with her back feet was a birth defect and should not affect her overall health or well being.
Peggy would love to be in a home with a a person who can give her the love and attention she craves. She would be fine with another cat and has been exposed to a gentle cat-friendly dog in her foster home. Due to her slightly different needs, we will not be showing her at Wiscoy. If you are interested in meeting Peggy, please contact us to arrange a time to visit. Please consider opening your home to this special little girl and giving her the wonderful life she so deserves.

While HCF is NOT a rescue/adoption organization, we do have cats available for adoption. These cats come to us through our work with feral colonies. Often they are kittens or young cats born of feral mothers or formerly socialized strays that have ended up in a colony but are not truly feral cats.
Please note that HCF CANNOT accept individually surrendered cats. If you are in need of this service, please contact local humane organizations in your county for assistance.
We typically have a cat or two cat in residence at Wiscoy for Animals in State College. You can visit during store hours. We also show some of our adoptable cats at PetCo in State
College. The schedule varies - contact us at for upcoming
dates.
If there is a cat you are interested in, please contact us to set an appointment to meet the cat.

Seniors for Seniors Program
Please ask about our Seniors for Seniors discount program designed to help curb the financial burden of owning a cat for our area's seniors. Our goal is to make the best possible human/cat match that we can and in doing so, give an older cat the opportunity to be loved in a forever home and a senior person something to care for and to remind them of how needed they are.
