SOAR Adoptables!
Meet Simon!
From Simon’s foster – “Simon is a 1 year old, snowshoe Siamese, male with striking bright blue eyes. He had a rough start to life… rescued as a stray and kept in a cage for most of his kitten months.
I believe this caused Simon to be apprehensive to human affections. BUT! This handsome, large dude has opened up just fine. He loves to play, be pet, and eat, oh goodness does he like to eat!!
That said, he needs a patient adopter who will take their time and continue to nurture his growth.”
.. & who could say no to those baby blues!
Meet Tigga!
Tigga is a 3 year old gentle giant who, at times, is more like. a dog than a cat! He likes other cats and probably dogs. He is active and loves to wrestle with his roommates! He is currently eating wet food only and would prefer to continue when adopted. Tigga has been with his foster mom for quite some time now but would love his forever home to come along! If you think Tigga would be a perfect match for your family, apply today!
Meet Iris!
PENDING ADOPTION!!
This is the green eyed beauty, Iris!
This 3 year old, female calico, is looking for her forever home! She is fully vaccinated, spayed and is working on a new lifestyle change when it comes to her eating habits. Iris absolutely loves attention and wants to be your “lap loaf” while cradled like a baby.
Future adopter MUST be diligent with maintaining her diet and keeping her active. & yes, she is active for her size!
She loves humans of all ages the most! But loves having cat friends and doesn’t mind dogs. Iris would love to be adopted with Rosie (below), as they have bonded in their foster home!
Meet Rosie!
PENDING ADOPTION!
Little Rosie is a 14 week old, beautiful gal. She would love a home where she will receive tons of love and snuggles and will require another cat/kitten to play and interact with. Rosie is so friendly and would be OK with kids and dogs as well.
She is up to date on vaccines and dewormed.
Rosie would love to be adopted with Iris (above), as they have bonded in their foster home!
Meet Chloe!
Chloe was residing at Coals Cats Cafe but asked for a little one on one, so one of our fosters stepped in. She is now getting some daily scratches, extra love really coming out of her beautiful shell. Chloe is a petite little thing, loves to be held and doesn’t mind a little extra morning snuggles. Apply to meet her today!
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 actual 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.
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 Chi Chi !
This is Chi Chi! This handsome, 6 year old, green eyed boy is ready for his forever home now that he has had his lifesaving surgery for a urinary blockage. He will need to be eating urinary food to keep himself healthy for the rest of his life. After all he has been through you would never know it as he has the most loving and snuggly personality.
You can meet Chi Chi at PETCO in Whitehall, PA! Put in your application today and plan to meet him!

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.
We recently adopted two adorable brother and sister kittens from S.O.A.R. What a fantastic local organization. Melissa H. is a lovely person and a fantastic foster mom. Thank YOU, Melissa! Our kittens are adjusting so well to their fur-ever home. We are so thankful to S.O.A.R for all their hard work in saving these animals!
Andria, Anthony, Nicholas, Ava and Luka and Molly (formally Bowser and Peaches)
Is Scarlett still available for adoption?
I ask for my sister-inlaw who has 2 boys brought in from the outside so i can attest her love for cats. If she is available will she be at Petco on Saturday?Thank You.
Hello! Scarlett has recently been put on hold for needing some necessary dental work and just removed from the adoption list. Please still visit our adoptable cats Saturday’s 10-12 at Petco! Thank you.
Has Molly been adopted?
Apologies for a delayed response. Yes, Molly went to her forever home a few days ago.
I’d like to know more about Zorba. I’m wondering if he will need ongoing Veterinary Care for his eye and teeth? Do these issues cause him problems daily and does he require special food and eye cleaning or medication?
Thank you for inquiring about our sweet, Zorba! He is on regular food (Taste of the Wild -dry and Friskies – wet). His eye surgery went well and at this time requires no attention. If you are interested in Zorba, please put in application. If you are available Saturday, come meet him between 10-12 at our PETCO meet & greets morning!
