Serving our community cats in Rochester, NY

Roxy needs a special home as she is heartworm positive. She is not a fan of other cats. She needs a calm home for the best outcome for her condition. Heartworm cannot be cured in cats, only managed. She must have monthly flea and parasite Revolution treatment applied to keep the heartworm under control and needs to avoid overstimulation. She's a beautiful tortie, who was left behind in an apartment after her people moved, claiming she was "feral." She has been with us since December 2023.

Topaz is a very friendly male cat who is great with kittens. He had an ordeal with FIP, a disease long considered fatal, but we made the decision to pursue treatment and he made a full recovery. He was 10 pounds when he was sick and now tips the scale over 14!

Topaz would like to help you with good food safety practices – he will remind you to not leave food out on the stove.

Topaz gets along well with most cats but can be a little intimidating to nervous cats as he might be insistent on a game of tag. But he also loves to nap and lounge.

Tori is the rare owner surrender that has made her way to us – because she was in shock and critical condition, having broken her leg after falling out of the 7th story of an apartment building. A good Samaritan contacted us, and her chip was scanned at the emergency vet. Her owners could not afford treatment and so she was surrendered. Her leg could not be saved and was amputated, and she gets around just fine as a tripod. She can be a little shy but does come out at the café to see people when it’s a bit more quiet.

Ok, First he’s spicy…then he’s incredibly sweet, then he’s sour. This ball of fur is loveable but he’s easily over stimulated. Aside from being a true lord of chaos, he’s a big, beautiful tiger!

Petunia is a sweet by shy girl, she can be easily intimidated by other cats. However she is very docile and seeks to hide rather than fight. She has a beautifully soft tortie coat. Petunia was rescued from the streets last year and spent time with her rescuer who had limited space helping other cats. She then tried the Pawsitive Café but found it overstimulating. She came to our main foster house and briefly shared a room with other fosters, but kept to her favorite spots away from the other rambunctious cats. She was briefly privately fostered in a quiet home with only 2 other cats and came out of her shell more. Now she is back at our main foster house easily cohabitating with mama Beverly and baby Wesley.

Leonard is a super sweet boy. We have estimated him about 5. He is a low energy snuggly boy. He is one of the best kitties ever. He is great with kittens, currently Bean is one of his favorites.

He’d love a hand brushing his fur, he forgets to take care of it himself sometimes.

BUZZ IS FIV+ But don’t let that discourage you. He is set to live a long healthy life because he has sooo much love to give.

While not aggressive to other cats, Buzz was getting a little too rambunctious with kittens, and his newfound confidence also led to more posturing and defending around other male cats, so in the interest of safety, we have pulled Buzz from the Pawsitive Cafe. Currently he is seeking a new foster home, but he is also available for adoption at any time.

If you already have cats in your home, as with any new animal, a slow introduction (a process we can explain or refer you to resources for) should ensure harmonious living and no risk of his immune condition transferring.

Tippy and Bibi are at the Pawsitive Cafe. They are a bonded. They would love a quiet home where they can spend time together. You may see them cuddling or playing with each other if you happen to be at the cafe at a quieter time of day.

Callaloo is no longer shy, and is just as likely to be the center of attention at the cafe, or snoozing in one of his favorite towers. Like Topaz, he seems to like young cats and kittens.

Yoko is a young, petite female who is not a big fan of other cats. She absolutely adores spending time with people though! We would love to see Yoko adopted by someone looking for a one and only who can give her all the attention she needs.

She is also looking for a foster home.

Toothless is a literal name, she had no teeth when she was rescued. To make a long story short, we were able to rescue her and 5 kittens, she was feral-acting at first but now is a big sweetheart. She’s weaned her kittens and is ready to be a solo act. She is tolerant of some cats but we think would be very happy as the only cat in a home.

Spike is the shyest of the dragon kittens, maybe it's from being the only boy in the litter. However he is quite assertive around food and the other kittens are used to him trying to lay on top of a plate of food.

He gets along the "pony" tabby kittens.

Cappucino is the shyest of the coffee kittens, but she is very sweet when she feels safe and comfortable. She loved to play with her brothers Bean and Macchiato.

Bean was the first of the coffee kittens to be trapped and rescued from outdoors. He is growing into a beautiful long and sleek black cat, with a generous amount of white on his belly. Bean plays well with his siblings Macchiato and Cappuccino. You can also often find him being groomed by Leonard.

Latte was the last of the coffee kittens to be caught after being born and raised outdoors. However he has the sweetest personality. He had an injury from a bot fly larvae, then a ringworm scare that meant the had to be quarantined for several weeks, during which he purred during antifungal baths because he was just so happy to be interacted with. Latte likes to play with all of the "my little pony" tabby kittens.

Latte was feeling under the weather and not eating enough at the cafe, and his adult teeth are coming in causing him some discomfort. He is back at our main house to gain some weight back.

Rainbow Dash is a very friendly, energetic tabby kitten. She has won over little Evangeline, who screams at any other cat or kitten that approaches her that isn't Rainbow Dash.

Evangeline was the runt and is still catching up. Currently she will only eat wet food. We are working on reintroducing kibble to her diet.

Rainbow Dash and Evangeline are looking for a home together.

Shining Armor is one of the two boys of the MLP pony litter - he is very playful and affectionate. He definitely needs a playmate, either a littermate or another friendly energetic cat.

Zara became quite popular at the cafe and found a great home!

It was a long road but Edgar was finally adopted after over a year in our care.

Ni became more independent at the cafe, and found a great forever home! She wishes her sisters Ichi and San good luck.

Phil Collins was adopted along with Mimi, who became quite attached to him while they were sharing a room.

While we are the tiniest bit disappointed Mimi never got to join her identical sisters Ichi, Ni and San at the cafe and cause more confusion, we never expected how hard she would bond to Phil, and so we are thrilled they were adopted together.
