The following pets are sponsored, meaning their adoption fees have already been paid for. They are either special needs or have been at the rescue longer than others waiting for their furever homes.
Penny
*If interested in adopting, please READ and follow instructions below. If she is not marked pending, she is still available, please just submit an application**
**I am in foster in Zelienople **
**Penny is one of our featured pets so her adoption fee has been sponsored to an approved home!
*Female cat *brown ticked tabby *Approximately 1 1/2-2 years old as of September 2024 -Penny came in after she was found living outside with two generations of her kittens and we are lucky we were able to take her into the rescue and ensure that she won’t continue to have babies! Penny is a sweet, quiet girl who is shy at first but does warm up and enjoys being petted and loved on. She will do best at first kept in a smaller room, and then slowly given more space as she gets used to her new people! She is currently living with her daughters and sons and can be adopted with any of them or can be adopted to a home with other animals with slow introductions. Older kids or adults are best for her as she can be scared at first. She is spayed, FIV/Felv negative, rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea preventative. She will be adopted to an indoor only home and the adopter will sign a contract that she cannot be declawed. Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html. Adoption fee is $50 which includes all the vetting above.
Mandy
*If interested in adopting, please READ and follow instructions below. If she is not marked pending, she is still available, please just submit an application**
**Mandy is one of our featured pets so her adoption fee has been sponsored to an approved home!
**I am in foster in Greensburg**
*Female cat *dilute calico longhair *Approximately 5 years old as of December 2024 -Poor Mandy has had a hard time of it the last few months. Mandy was surrendered to us when her owner sadly killed herself and the rest of the family had kept her in a basement and were threatening to throw her outside. Needless to say when she came to us she was terrified and defensive at first because she had witnessed everything that had happened and was very traumatized. She has even decompressing in foster and is now ready to find her forever family. Mandy is a very sweet girl once she settles in and knows you. She will hiss and be nervous at first but once she is comfortable she absolutely adores being petted and will sit on your lap! She would do best in a quiet household with no children where she is given time initially in her own safe space while she gets used to her new environment. A patient owner is a must! She is the sweetest girl and deserves a happy rest of her life to counteract what she’s been through! She has lived with other kitties in the past but slow introductions are a must. Any other cats would be laid back and probably only 1 or 2 at most. She is spayed, FIV/Felv negative, rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea preventative. She will be adopted to an indoor only home and the adopter will sign a contract that she cannot be declawed. Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html. Adoption fee is $50 which includes all the vetting above.

**Charles and El are featured pets, which means their adoption fee has been sponsored!**
Breed: Champagne D’Argent Size: About 6 lbs full grown DOB: 5/20/23 Reason in Rescue: This group came in from a cruelty case in WV. They were living in filth and sewage :(. The babies were born after being rescued. Unfortunately, they stayed with their original rescue who had a medical issue and they had to find other rescues to help them find their forever homes! Personality: El and Charles are both very sweet boys. They can be a little nervous at first but once they realize you are not going to hurt them, they enjoy petting. They both allowed me to pick them up and hold them without too much fuss! They are absolutely gorgeous boys. Charles has more silver on his back than El does.

Mae
**This bunny is fully vaccinated for RHDV*
**I am in foster in Niles, OH**
**Mae is a featured pet so her adoption fee has been sponsored! to an approved adopter!**
Breed: Flemish giant/american type mix Size: About 6 lbs DOB: About 1 1/2years old as of March 2023 Reason in rescue: These girls came in from a shelter that taken on a hoarding case the end of 2023. Unfortunately they were not spaying/neutering the buns before adopting them out so we agreed to take some to try and help them out. We took four! Personality: When Mae first got here she was very nervous and didn’t want anyone touching her. But the longer she’s been here, she has really warmed up. She doesn’t mind being petted and loves running around and exploring everything! She’s an active girl and loves to stretch her legs! She doesn’t enjoy being picked up but tolerates it. She’s very good with her litter box. Friends: She is a good candidate to be bonded to a neutered male. Requirements: Must be adopted as an indoor animal, with an as large as possible plastic bottomed cage or puppy pen (minimum 4' x 2' for a single, 4 x 4 for a pair). Adoption process: An adoption application must be filled out (http://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html), and approved by us.

Suggested adoption donation is $100 which includes her spay, vaccine and microchip.
Cecil
**This bunny is fully vaccinated for RHDV.
**I am in foster in Niles, OH**
**Cecil is a featured pet, which means his adoption fee has been sponsored!** Breed: lionhead/angora we’re guessing. Size: About 3-4 lbs DOB: Approximately 1 year old as of 6/24 Reason in rescue: This boy was found by a neighbor when he was living on someone’s back porch in a tiny, filthy cage. They convinced them to surrender him and luckily he wound up with us. Personality: Cecil is absolutely the cutest little guy ever. He’s very friendly and outgoing and not much phases him. He is a super sweet little boy who doesn’t mind love or even being held. He is very good with his litter box. Cecil definitely requires some more grooming to make sure his coat doesn’t mat. He also needs the hair around his eyes kept short so his eyes don’t get irritated, so a good all around grooming for him every week is a good idea! Friends: He is a good candidate to be bonded to a spayed female. Requirements: Must be adopted as an indoor animal, with an as large as possible plastic bottomed cage or puppy pen (minimum 4' x 2' for a single, 4 x 4 for a pair). Adoption process: An adoption application must be filled out (http://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html), and approved by us. Then we will arrange a meeting time to see the animal of interest. A home visit is required prior to adoption (but can be waived if pictures or video are supplied of where the bunny will be living). Suggested adoption donation is $100 which includes his neuter, vaccine, and microchip.
Aurora
**This bunny is fully vaccinated for RHDV**
*Aurora is one of our featured pets, so her adoption fee has been sponsored!**
Breed: American Size: About 6 lbs DOB: Approximately DOB end of 2019 Reason in Rescue: This girl has been passed around a lot unfortunately. Someone took her in when someone else was going to “release her into the wild,” an almost certain death. She was then adopted out after we took her (and had her spayed). That adopter kept her four years and recently returned her due to allergies. Personality: Aurora is without a doubt one of my favorite buns here. When she came in she was terrified. You couldn’t touch her, you couldn’t pet her, and don’t even think about picking her up as she would literally have a wild, running around panic attack. With lots of love and patience (and a spay!) she is a different bunny. She is very opinionated and likes things her own way and will grunt when you go into her cage and is still not a fan of being picked up, but she loves being petted now. And if she trusts you, she allows you to hold her. She would do anything for a face rub and she is just such an awesome girl, full of personality! She would do best in a quiet home with no dogs (she hates them and will charge and try and bite them). She is fine with cats, but she does not want to be bonded to another bunny. No small children, as well as someone who can work with her and not keep her in a small cage (she does better in a larger space). She is awesome with her litter box. Friends: Aurora is much happier as a single bun. Requirements: Must be adopted as an indoor animal, with an as large as possible plastic bottomed cage or puppy pen (minimum 4' x 2'). Adoption process: An adoption application must be filled out (http://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html), and approved by us. Then we will arrange a meeting time to see the animal of interest. A home visit is required prior to adoption which can be waived if pictures or video are sent of where the bunny will be living. Suggested adoption donation is $100 which includes her spay, vaccine, and microchip.
Gus
**This bunny is fully vaccinated for RHDV*
**Gus is one of our featured pets so his adoption fee has been sponsored for an approved adopter!** Breed: Satin, with a shiny coat! Size: About 5 lbs Reason in rescue: Gus was surrendered when his owner went off to college and no one else in the family wanted to take care of him. Personality: Gus is a very sweet, sweet boy who likes petting, doesn’t mind being held and is just an overall awesome boy! He’s really chill and laid back and just wants someone who wants to hang out with him! He is good with his litter box. Special Needs: before surrender, the owner didn’t tell us that Gus has some special needs. He has malocclusion which causes his front teeth to not meet and overgrow. Gus had 3/4 of his teeth removed but he still has one remaining that the vet was concerned about removing because it was really in there and he didn't want to cause him more pain. It still needs regularly trimmed which can be done at home like toe nails or with your vet (or I can do it here for a fee regularly). He eats just fine and has no other health issues. Friends: He is a good candidate to be bonded to a spayed female. Requirements: Must be adopted as an indoor animal, with an as large as possible plastic bottomed cage or puppy pen (minimum 4' x 2' for a single, 4 x 4 for a pair). Adoption process: An adoption application must be filled out (http://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html), and approved by us. Then we will arrange a meeting time to see the animal of interest. A home visit is required prior to adoption (but can be waived if pictures or video are supplied of where the bunny will be living). Suggested adoption donation is $100 which includes his neuter, vaccine, and microchip.
Larry

**I am in foster in Pittsburgh**
*single male guinea pig *black/brown/white shorthair *Born January 2024 -These three boys came in from a shelter in VA where they had been surrendered. They are super active, excitable little guys who are just pure baby energy. Larry is living alone, and can be adopted on his own or as a friend for another male guinea pig.
