When I adopted a Pet Pantry cat who was living at Furever Home, I almost felt bad about taking him out of there. Food bowls, litter boxes, cat trees and toys everywhere! Zero rocking chairs! This is kitty Valhalla, at least at shelters go. I told them I couldn't compete with that many trees and toys. But what these cats need most is a home. And that part is working out well, at least in my case. This older male cat had no reason to bond with me but nevertheless, here he is as I write this, hopping into my lap and waiting for me to go to bed so he can curl up next to me.

We live in State college, which is about 45 minutes from Altoona, but State College rescues are very closed doors and put on their "best" face (I.e. you don't see many truly struggling animals come through, for whatever reason, or they don't show us). We are in Altoona at least once a week and discovered this rescue via Facebook. We've both followed it for a few years and seen the journey from their previous location in Hollidaysburg to the new cafe setup in downtown Altoona and we love the work that Summer is doing. She does all of this for free, all donations to the rescue go directly to cats and she somehow manages to save hundreds of cats lives (or provide a very caring and gentle exit from the world if absolutely necessary) while maintaining an actual job on the side to help her fund this. She's incredible. The cat cafe is still being set up a little bit when we went but it has the main adult cat room as well as a smaller kitten room, and they have a little merchandise and snack area up front. There are many volunteers but I know they're always looking for more! If you do visit the cafe, the main thing to remember is to either bring or be wearing socks!!! They don't allow shoes in the cat rooms so unless you want to get cat litter and fur between your toes (though I will say it was super clean when we went), it's just better to have some socks. The fee to go in is $10 a person, and again, that all goes to the cats. I found that very reasonable all things considered. And since everyone loves a success story, we have two cats currently, an 11-year old female (with a Napoleon complex) and a 2-year old male who was rescued from a bad situation in Texas (and we are still not entirely sure if all his brain cells made it back here with us). They get along pretty much on a bare minimum basis, and the older one just really can't stand how energetic our boy is. So we started considering a sibling closer to the boy's age that would be maybe a good play companion for him and mellow out the transition from grumpy old female to crazy young male. We contacted this rescue since kitten season is ramping up and decided to visit two kittens, one at the cafe and one at his foster home. The one in the cafe (Gordon!) was a great cat and very social and energetic but we just weren't sure if he was the right fit. The kitten at the foster home has had a really rough time adjusting to people but he loves other cats. He didn't want to come out from under the bed for us but would play with toys with us from under the bed. We decided, based really on his love of other cats but also on his foster saying he showed signs of being able to open up and socialize with people with enough time and patience, to adopt him and we are going on a little over 2 weeks now of him adjusting to our upstairs space. I was impressed by his foster for how well she cared for him and his siblings, and she seemed very perceptive about how he would adjust and she turned out to be right. I really admire this rescue and everyone involved, and if I lived closer I would 100% be volunteering there probably more than I could afford to! If you're in the area, I suggest checking out the cat cafe and following their Facebook page. They're the first of their kind in Altoona and I love to support that.
