Serving our community cats in Rochester, NY

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.

Olive was adopted by a cafe visitor and is happy to be a solo cat.

Olive was in heat when she found herself on the streets in January

She has been spayed and received all of her necessary vaccines and so she is now at the Pawsitive Cafe. It took her about 10 minutes to settle in and act like she owns the place.

Little Man had a great time at the cafe, though he played a bit rough with other cats. He’s been adopted to be a solo boy.

Skye was adopted by cafe visitors, we hope she likes her new cat brother!

Soot and Smudge were adopted together, by frequent visitors to the Pawsitive Café, who visited them multiple times while going through our application process.

Gigi gets to live her dream of being the solo cat, adopted by a family that met he at the cafe!

Mortimer was adopted by a lovely family after a short but fun filled stay at the Pawsitive Cafe.

Mortimer was throwing his weight around at a feral colony, bullying his way into more food to support his big frame. Now that he is neutered and indoors with regular access to food, he happily seeks human affection and largely leaves other cats alone.

Pretty little Daisy attracted a lot of attention at the cafe for a shy girl and is now home!

After a few months at the cafe, Callie has found her home!

She is a very affectionate, young petite grey tortie who had been outside at a feral colony for several months. She quickly acclimated to her foster room with Cookie and Frosted and was then joined by Abraham as well, then quickly acclimated to the cafe.

Frosted was adopted with his dear sister Cookie!

Meet Frosted Flakes, a shy but incredibly sweet cat. He warms up slowly but is endlessly affectionate once he does, often giving "headbumps" to those he forms bonds with. He was rescued from the streets with his mother, Mama Millie, when he was a bit older, showcasing his stunning golden eyes.

Cookie was adopted with her brother Frosted!

Meet Cookie Crisp, a spirited feline who has transformed from her bold beginnings into an affectionate darling. She started fearlessly, hissing with adorable fierceness, but has since become gentle and loving, leaning in for affectionate pets.

Cookie Crisp's journey began on the streets, rescued with her friendly mother when a bit older, and her desire for human companionship has grown. She dreams of a forever home with her brother, Frosted Flakes, or in a cat-friendly household where she can seamlessly bring her unique sweetness.

Roseanne really worked up the people interested in adopting her and is happy to have her own home. Her sister GIgi is actually being more social at the cafe now with “pretty Rosie” not being around to steal attention as much!

Benny was adopted after having a great time at the cafe.

Since joining the cafe crew, Benny bats around toys and runs around like a kitten; this 6 year old shows no signs of slowing down.

The last kitten from the litter to find her forever home, we had to go through many applications to find the right home where she wouldn’t be a single kitten. During this process she entertained many people at the Pawsitive Cafe.

Orange brothers adopted after a brief stay at the Pawsitive Cafe!

Kitten sisters adopted together!

August met her new family at the Pawsitive Cafe!

August is estimated at 6 year old, and is living her second chance at life.

She was discovered critically ill, wasting away from a uterine infection that had been festering inside her. Residents spotted her walking around and then laying inside a box spring next to an apartment dumpster. She was likely abandoned when her family moved, cat hair also adorned an abandoned couch. Her backside caked in blood, urine and feces, her frame was thin but her belly unnaturally bloated. She was so dehydrated her scruff stayed in place when tugged on.

After an emergency spay to remove the diseased organ, she remained on subcutaneous fluid therapy to continue combating her dehydration. After a few days she took another downward turn. Her gums white, hair falling out, appetite nonexistent. However she still loved attention and catnip. Her bloodwork showed pancytopenia, all of her blood cell types were critically low. One more chance was made on an aggressive schedule of antibiotics and fluid therapy was continued. Much to the surprise of the vets treating her and advising us, August has made a full recovery. Her latest bloodwork shows levels indistinguishable from a typical cat. What we once thought might be a hospice case is now a playful, vocal lady with a filled in figure and a shiny soft coat. Her green eyes shine, no longer sunken in her little face.

After having Ginger living amongst our own cats or over a year since she was a kitten, Ginger is the last foster fail for the president and vice president for a long, long time.

We have given in, Priscilla might be the only thing spreading harmony and joy among our own house cats and the other few free-range fosters. She is now family/staff. She’s a little dopamine machine and she’s made so much progress from a year ago when she was practically feral; we are afraid she is the jenga block on the bottom of the tower and dare not move her.

Priscilla is coming up due for her yearly vaccinations end of December but we'd be happy to make arrangements if the right adopter comes along before that. She's secretly one of our favorites, coming an awful long way from a semi feral. She breaks up fights between cats twice her size, she just drops in and her presence puts an end to any playing she decided was "too much." She makes adorable chirping noises and stands on her hind legs for attention. She deserves people of her own. She's befriended our crankiest cats. Even Ladybug, whom we quietly foster failed on years ago because we just couldn't find a good fit for her... particular personality, has bowed her head and asked Priscilla for head kisses.

Toby was adopted along with another cat from the Pawsitive Cafe!

Meet Toby, a captivating Lynx Point Siamese with mesmerizing light blue eyes. Toby's journey took an unexpected turn with a faint positive ELISA test for FeLV, but advanced and subsequent tests were negative, and so his system has overcome the virus and he is FeLV negative.

Toby seeks human companions who share his love for fun and can set boundaries with gentle guidance.
