ADOPTABLE CATS & KITTENS
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 Poe!
This handsome tuxedo male is 5 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.
Meet Pete!
He is around 1.5 years old, and is the perfect cat! He is extremely affectionate and playful, loves other cats, and loves dogs even more! He would do best in a home with cats and cat friendly pups. Pete should be fed wet food only due to a dry food allergy.
Pete is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and negative for Feline Leukemia.
Meet Phoenix!
Phoenix is a 1 year old male charmer! He has a sunny and cheerful disposition and loves everyone he meets. His favorite activities include sleeping in the sun and snuggling on your lap! Phoenix is special needs as he is blind, and he would do best in a home with another cat.
Phoenix is neutered, vaccinated, and negative for Feline Leukemia
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 Meteor!
Part of our shooting star gang, this 8 month old male is searching the stars for his forever home. Meteor is the most outgoing of his three siblings (see Astra and Nova).
He loves to be goofy and hang off chairs or the cat tree, play with a laser pointer or ribbon toys, but he loves it most when his fosters pay him attention! He is great playing with kids and would be a wonderful addition to any family. Meteor is neutered and UTD on vaccines.
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. With two brothers, she often watches quietly and waits for her chance. 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 would be best paired with her brother Nova.
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 would be best paired with his sister Astra.
Meet Soryia!
This purebred beauty is an Arabian Mau. She is 2 years old and fully vetted. Soryia has to be the only girl in the house. A very active girl – she is ready to become your best buddy and begin her new life as part of a family!
Meet Chocolate Chip and Raisin!
These lovely boys are 5 months old and part of the “snack pack”. These two are a bonded pair, but they could also be considered for adoption alongside one of their other siblings in the “snack pack”. Chocolate Chip is outgoing, curious and loves new adventures. Raisin is a little shy at first but warms up quickly. Both boys love to play with their toys and snuggle with their siblings and on your lap!
Both boys are UTD on vaccines, FIV neg, and neutered.
Meet Pierogi and Pudding Pop!
These sweet girls are 5 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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
