Trenton Cats Rescue
Trenton Cats Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based, 501c3 rescue group in the greater Trenton, NJ area.
RIP to our 13-year-old Alumni Tony who was a very good boy . 😢
Tony & his sister Sammy came to us early in 2021 as 9-year-olds because their original family had a fire at their home. They were bonded (so we wouldn’t adopt them out separately) and they were adopted four months after we got them.
A year and a half later their adopter returned Sammie but wouldn’t give Tony back to us- we tried to get her to but, she refused . Sammy was adopted again but came back to us less than a year later because her owner got sick. In August of 2023 she got her forever home with an amazing couple who have adopted a number of cats from TCR and are big supporters of our rescue.
Fast forward to May 2024, Tony ends up in the Trenton Shelter. We called Sammy’s parents and asked if they wanted to adopt Tony and they said yes ! So, the siblings got to be together again after being separated for 19 months. Once they got used to each other again they were BFFs again and could often be found cuddled up with each other.
We had hoped they would have several more years together (they were born in early 2012) but, sadly that didn’t happen. Tony stopped eating last week and his parents took him to the vet. He had very severe kidney failure as well as possibly another illness. Fine one day and the next not . His parents are very experienced cat owners (they’ve had a few cats with kidney failure and can do subcu fluids) but Tony’s case was very severe. So, they took him home for the weekend, made him comfortable and were going to do the only thing we can do when our kitties are sick and there is nothing you can do, today. Before they could, Tony had what the vet thinks was a stroke late Sunday night and he passed away at the emergency vet.
Our condolences to his parents, we were thrilled they wanted to reunite these siblings. And we are glad Tony spent the last 10 months of his life with his sister and had a wonderful family who loved him.

Norland Wind and Caledonia have been hanging out in their foster home for the past 15 months. Today they went to their forever home with their new dad. Caledonia accepted pets during a visit yesterday, but Norland wanted no part of it. We think they and their new dad are a perfect fit and expect both kitties to be very happy once they settle in.
Mimi is a sweet cat (10 years old) whose owner was unable to keep her because she became incapacitated and wanted to make sure she found a new forever home. (One of her owner's relatives wanted to keep her but her found out he was hghly allergic to cats). While Mimi may not always want to snuggle, she loves people and shows her affection by rubbing up against your legs and making sure she is in the same room as you. This cutie would do best in a quiet home and with a new owner who understands that Mimi wants attention but on her own terms, which may mean that sometimes she wants to be pet and sometimes she doesn't (and will let you know!). She is not fond of other cats, so she should be the only cat. Who is going to give this little beauty the forever home he deserves to have ?
Reeky Bob or Bob as he prefers to be called (who we think is around 2) was trapped during one of our TNR projects. Our volunteer quickly realized that he is one of the numerous friendly cats that end up on the street in Trenton all the time. 😡 . We hope to get him a forever home where his new people will keep him inside and safe . This cool dude with the beautiful eyes hopes someone will adopt him soon !!!! He is very thankful we grabbed him and took him off the street in Trenton. Bob is really a great cat and we can't believe no one has applied to adopt him yet !
Beautiful house panther Racine was trapped outside in one of our TNR projects. Our volunteers could quickly tell this one year old girl wasn't feral, she had a home at one point. We're not sure what happened and because we can't speak cat, Racine can't tell us. We just know she wants to belong to someone again and this time she wants to be a forever cat. She does tolerate other cats but we believe she would best show her affectionate purrsonality as a single kitty. She is cautious at first but loves to be pet & snuggled, and purrs so loudly. She wants to know why no one has picked her to go home yet (we have had her since September) , so do we !
GOOD BOY WANTS A FOREVER HOME !!!!
Spartacus (who we think is three) is a sweet, gentle boy. He tends to be shy in new places, but once he knows and trusts you, he will reward you with head butts, rubbing and begging for chin scratches. One of the things he loves best is being brushed. He hasn't had it very easy in his first three years of life and we're hoping to get him a home where he will be cherished by his people. He’s truly a very special little man. He has tested positive for FIV, but he plans on living a full, happy life (FIV+ kitties can live with FIV- kitties and as long as kitties without FIV). Spartacus likes to help his foster dad when he is working on his computer. If you’re looking for a sweet cuddle bug who will love you forever, but are patient and understanding while he is getting to know you, Spartacus is your kitty. He'll reward you with a lifetime of love. Added Bonus- he does well with the small dogs in his foster home and the cats. He's a very good boy just waiting for his person to find him
