Adoption hours are Saturday’s 10am-12pm.
Meet Delilah!
Hey there DELILAH! This blue-eyed beauty is a spayed, one year old, Snowshoe female from Kuwait who is ready to find her forever family. She is playful, curious, & confident with a sweet temperament. She has Siamese in her bloodline and can be very vocal when she wants your attention. Her adoption fee is $250.
See our other available cats below!
They are currently residing with foster families
Meet Chi Chi !
This handsome, green-eyed boy is 6 years old and looking for the perfect home. He is very affectionate with his people and would love to keep you company while watching Netflix or cooking in the kitchen! He is warming up to the idea of a cat friend, and with a slow introduction a laid-back cat companion will be ok.
Chi Chi had a urinary blockage when he arrived at SOAR. He had surgery and is fully healed, but he will require urinary food to keep him healthy the rest of his life.
Meet Arthur and Lacey!
Arthur and Lacey are the Purrfect pair of kitties! Lacey is a 1 yr old spayed female, and Arthur is an 8 yr old neutered male. Arthur is a social butterfly who loves to play and Lacey, although a little shy at first, is an equally affectionate and playful little lady. They bring out the best in each other and have become the best of friends in their foster home! For this reason, Arthur and Lacey will be adopted as a pair.
Please, no young kids (under 5), no dogs, and only female cats in the home. Both cats are negative for Feline Leukemia and up to date on vaccines.
Meet Flower!
Flower is a 1.5 year old torti female. She was originally found at a local feeding station pregnant and alone, but now she is ready to find a home of her own! She is quite the little lovebug, and her favorite activities include being the center of attention and playing fetch with her toys. Flower would like to be the queen of the castle but can go with a calm cat with slow introduction. She enjoys being with her foster cat friends. She is blind in one eye, but this doesn’t stop her from having fun!
Flower is spayed and up to date on vaccines.
Meet Luna & Sophie!
Meet the bond that can never be broken! Luna, a dilute calico and Sophie is an adult calico are like ying & yang. These girls are very playful, love a good meal and are great with cats, dogs and kids!
Sophie is your snuggler and total love bug. She will suffocate you with love and affection all day long. She will let you pet her and snuggle up right in your lap.
Luna is your observer. She’d rather watch what its like to be pet, than actually be pet. While she doesn’t mind a good brush or nail trim, she would prefer to let Sophie get all the pets while she sits at your feet.
These girls can NEVER be separated. You see, Luna has a gimp to her hind leg and while she gets around just fine, Sophie is her protector, so to speak. Without one another, they would be lost.
Meet Teddy!
Teddy is 1-2 years old sweetheart with the cutest chubby cheeks! He is gentle, loves to be held, enjoyed his bath. He is happy to just have a warm bed, plenty of food, and be off the streets.
Teddy is vetted, UTD on shots and ready to join your family!
Meet Soryia!
This purebred Arabian Mau has traveled all the way from Kuwait to show her stuff and find her forever home. Soryia has blossomed in her foster home where she has the room to expend her abundant energy, snuggle with her foster family and even spend time with some other cat residents. She would be best suited for an experienced owner who will be able to provide her with a stable environment where she can be herself – playful, loving and even sometimes a bit sassy! Her stunning markings and outgoing personality will surely win you over!
Soryia is completely vetted and even comes with her own passport!
Meet Amelia!
Amelia is a 4-5 year old sweet girl. She is very friendly and looking for a family to bestow her love upon. Amelia tends to be frightened of other cats, so she would do best as the only cat and will need a patient family to allow her time to adjust in her forever home.
Amelia is fully vetted.
Meet Ashton and Isabella!
This boy and girl duo are the perfect pair of snuggles and playfulness! Both kitties are over a year old and have finally been able to be rescued! Ashton & Isabella are a bonded pair who would like to stay together in their forever home. They are both completed vetted.
Meet Arabella!
*special needs*
Arabella is a super sweet and friendly 9 month old female. She is Feline Leukemia positive so she would need to go to a home as a single cat or with other feline leukemia positive cats. This adorable and sweet girl deserves a chance at a good life!
Meet Leo!
Leo is a 3 year old male who was found in the basement of an apartment building starving. He was slated for euthanasia in a NY shelter having a urinary blockage until he was pulled by SOAR. Since then, Leo has been doing great on his urinary food with no issues.
Because of his history, Leo loves to eat and needs to be reassured that he will never be in that predicament again. He is very friendly! Although he is not the most fond of being carried around, Leo does love to be pet.
Leo is ready for his forever home where he will be fed his urinary diet in a plentiful amount and be loved the rest of his life! He is completely vetted.
Meet Leonardo!
This 4 year old, big boy came to SOAR with bladder stones, which had to be so painful. He underwent surgery and diagnosis and is now doing great on a diet of wet food mixed with water and a little bit of prescription dry food. He is super friendly, loving and adores being pet. He would do great in a home with other cats on the same diet or where his special diet can be strictly adhered to so he will never have to have that terrible pain again. Leonardo is grateful for a second chance to have a forever home
Meet Kevin Bacon!
Kevin Bacon is an approx 1 year old male. He is a very playful boy and loves dinner time. He gets bored easily and will let you know with love bites but he doesn’t mean it in a naughty way. We have had a few talks about it, and he responds well to correction. He doesn’t seem to mind other cats but slow introductions are recommended.
Kevin is FELV/FIV negative, neutered, and UTD on vaccines.
Meet Marian!
This sweet, petite little lady is 1.5 years old and has really been through some rough times. Loosing part of her ears to frostbite, she survived the terrible trauma and is now ready for her forever home.
Marian is fully vetted.
Meet Garfield!
This handsome purrbox is approximately 1.5 years old. Garfield is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV and FeLV negative, and more than ready to find his very own family! He gets along well with other kitties and thrives with lots of love and attention!
Meet Rina!
This 6 month old lilac point, apple face Siamese is an absolute stunner! RINA is completely vetted and ready to find her forever home. She is very affectionate and would do best in a home with maybe one other cat or a docile, cat friendly dog. She would NOT do well in a house with a lot of other pets or that is an active household.
Meet Cinnamon Roll!
Cinnamon Roll is an 8 month old cutie who was found wandering in a parking garage, but her rescuers knew she was too sweet to stay there. Cinnamon Roll loves pets and wet food. Her bed is definitely her safe space. She’s learning to be loved and to play. She comes more out of her shell each day!
Cinnamon roll is negative for FIV/FeLV, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations.
Meet Nova!
Part of our shooting star gang, this 8 month old male is searching the stars for his forever home.
Nova is a purring machine! He loves attention and playing with his foster family, which he demonstrates by making lots of biscuits. He is always curious what’s going on so he’s loves to investigate, but has a very mellow personality so isn’t bothered by much. Nova is very food motivated. He is great with kids and would do wonderfully with a family. He is neutered and UTD on vaccines.
Nova is bonded with his sister, Astra.
Meet Astra!
Part of our shooting star gang, this 8 month old female is searching the stars for her forever home.
Astra is a delicate lady. She absolutely loves chasing the laser pointer! She doesn’t mind love and pets when there is food involved, but tends to prefer her personal space. She would do best with quiet/older kids and those with patience to let her move at her own pace. She is spayed and UTD on vaccines.
Astra is bonded with her brother, Nova.
Meet Poe!
This handsome tuxedo male is 8 months old! He is super sweet and lovable. When Poe isn’t exploring or playing, he can often be found snuggled up enjoying a nap.
Poe is up to date on age appropriate vaccines. He would love find a home alongside one of his “snack pack” foster siblings!
Meet Pierogi and Pudding Pop!
These sweet girls are 7 months old and part of the “snack pack”. They are a bonded pair, but they could also be considered for adoption alongside one of their other siblings in the “snack pack”. Both LOVE to play with their toys, wrestle and snuggle on your lap. They roll over for belly rubs too!
Both girls are UTD on vaccines, FIV neg, and spayed.
Kittens should be considered adopted in pairs or with another younger house cat.

What more info on ella.
What can u tell me about ella bella. I have a 4 yr old male, kingsley, needs a pal. Very affectionate male.
I’m very sad and frustrated. On Black Friday, my daughter and I found Ash at Petco in Whitehall and instantly fell in love with him. We filled out the application, but never heard back. We also emailed and called a few times and still no response. Today I decided to call Petco. They had no idea why we haven’t had responses to our inquiries, but said Ash was adopted. Our hearts are broken.
Hi Tara,
We are very sorry Ash was unable to join your family. Please understand we get multiple applications in and only one can take the animal home. We hope if you havent found a fur-friend yet, you will fill an application out ahead of time and see if another cat/kitten comes into foster that can mend your heart. If you would like to talk to someone, please message us on our Starting Over Animal Rescue, Inc. Facebook page.
I’d like to adopt Leon.
Could I have more info please?
Hello, We are very sorry but Leon already has an adoption in process. Would you be interested in any of his brothers? Please fill out an application to get started, if so. Thank you!
Interested in Miley, do other pets have to be spayed/neutered ? I have a female dog .
Hello, In leu of SOAR being an advocate for spaying and neutering our pets and strays, it is a requirement to adopt from us. Thank you for your inquiry though and supporting our page.
Hello, Apologies for the delay in response. Precious is labeled correctly when comparing our site to Coal Cat Cafe’s site. Precious had ulcers when she arrived with SOAR and what you see are scars from removal. The scars dont affect her vision and no medication is needed. You can visit her at the cafe 🙂 Thank you!
WOULD LIKE TO MEET OPAL, I CAN VISIT PETCO MACARTHUR RD ON THIS SATURDAY. I MET A NICE LADY THERE WHO TOLD ME ABOUT HER WEBSITE. (SOAR) TAMAQUA , PA
I ALREADY OWN A 8MOS YORKSHIRE CHILD AND LOOKING FOR A BUDDY KITTY MATE FOR HIM & I. WOULD PREFER KITTY 6M0S OVER BUT LESS THAN 1 YEARS OLD AS A FELINE FRIEND, NEUTERED OR SPAYED.

Would it be possible to come in person and meet the cats before putting in an application?
Hi Alesha,
Thank you for reaching out! Different cats are often available for meet and greets on the weekend, which occur at the Petco in Whitehall PA, Living Things in Orefield PA, or at Purr Haus in Emmaus PA. This can be a great time to meet the adoptable cats and talk with volunteers about any questions you might have. I recommend keeping up with our Facebook page, SOAR Adoptables, for the most up to date information on which cats will be available to meet each week and where.
Hello! Is Sylvester still available for adoption?
Sylvester has been adopted!
Hello I met and fell in love with Enzo at petco in whitehall, he is not listed on here but I did see him listed on your Facebook page. I filled out an application to adopt . I have 2 kitties at home so the only issue would be if Enzo doesn’t get along with other cats. It makes me so sad and angry to see what these animals have gone through. Let me know if he is available, OK with others and if you need any further info from me.
Enzo is currently still available. If you have submitted your application, one of our volunteers will review it within 5-7 days and reach out if it is a good fit! Your application will be good for 30 days if you see another cat that you are interested in. The Facebook page is your best source for up-to-date information on who is available.
Has Bentley and Bianca been adapted?
Hello, as of now Bentley and Bianca are still available. If you are interested please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website, for our volunteers to review.
