ADOPTABLE CATS & KITTENS
See who is at PETCO in WHITEHALL, PA below!
They are available to visit during Petco’s daily business hours.
Adoption hours are Saturday’s 10am-12pm.
Meet Millie and Diva!
These two female buddies are 5 & 6 months old and completely vetted. They are super playful and equally as loving! They are outgoing but super mellow and sweet. They would do great with other cats, cat friendly dogs and cat respecting children. Millie and Diva would do best adopted out as a pair or with another very active kitty on the house!
Meet Olive!
This gorgeous little girl LOVES attention and isn’t shy about it! She’s affectionate, cuddly, purrs like a little motor, and will 100% talk to you like you’re her BFF. Total lap cat energy. If you’re into affectionate cats with big personalities, Olive’s your girl!
See our other available cats below!
They are currently residing with foster families
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 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 Socks and Mila!
Socks (gray and white male ) and Mila (tuxedo boy) are 4 month old cutie siblings looking for their forever home! They are spayed, neutered, and up to date on vaccines.
Meet Maury!
This handsome boy, was found on the side of the Maury road, facing his final moments… when a Good Samaritan called and was able to bring him in. Now this spunky little dude is ready for ADOPTION!!
Maury is around 9 weeks old, negative for FELV/FIV and is up to date on age appropriate vaccines. Maury is a survivor, small but mighty! He is extremely friendly and playful! He would love to get adopted with one of his adorable foster siblings or be adopted into a home with another young playful kitty!
Meet Poppy, Piper, and Pip!
These 4/5 months old sweet kitties are looking for their forever home. All three are vaccinated, tested, and dewormed. Pip and Poppy are fixed. They love to play and snuggle, and these humans made sure that they are well socialized. Pip, Piper, and Poppy would love to be adopted with their siblings, or into a home with another playful kitty.
Meet Kylie and Ranger!
Calling all Phillies fans (or anyone who can’t resist an adorable kitten)! These 6 month old siblings may not know baseball but they know their life is pretty amazing since being rescued: play, eat, sleep, zoomie, snuggle, repeat. They are both extremely friendly and lovey-dovey. They’d do best in a home with a playmate, whether that’s one of their siblings or another active cat or dog.
Meet Meteor!
Meteor is a 1 year old male tuxedo who is the most loveable, enthusiastic, cuddly cat ever! He loves to snuggle in bed, watch cartoons, and play with his toys. He has the most vibrant personality and demands attention from everyone.
He will do well alone or with another young playful cat that gets along with other cats
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 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 Pierogi and Pudding Pop!
These sweet girls are 11 months old and a bonded pair. 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.
How do I get that orange cat at petco in white hall
If there is a cat you saw on our Facebook page, website, or at the Petco in Whitehall you can submit an application if you are interested in adopting them. Once you submit the application our volunteers will do their best to 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.
To whom it may concern I was wondering when would it be possible to come and meet dusty and Obie. I put a application in for either one available if approved.
