Trenton Cats Rescue
Trenton Cats Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based, 501c3 rescue group in the greater Trenton, NJ area.
Denise is a pretty, sweet calico is looking for her furever home! Though initially shy, once this kitty warms up she is eager for pets and lots of love. When she comes out of her shell she has a big personality. Playful, silly & affectionate she does need time to adjust & a patient family. Though she tolerates the other cats she would probably be happiest as a single or with an older laid back cat who isn't interested in her.
She was surrendered to the Trenton Shelter with Dimitri another cat who has been adopted. She's a good girl and losing her home really rocked her world. We hope someone comes along soon to give Denise the truly forever home she deserves to have. She wants to know why no one has applied to adopt her since we got her in November and so do we.

Lost cat in Trenton. Name is Reuben 10 months old. If you find him call Kathryn 856 473 2118.
Ralph Tyrell was found outside by a kind person in Trenton who asked for help for him. We scanned him for a microchip and found his owner had previously had him fixed, chipped etc.. through us. His owner hasn't responded to our attempts to contact her. We can only assume poor Ralph got dumped at five years old. He is a super friendly nice boy who thought his home was forever but, it wasn't. Ralph wants someone to adopt him who will love him and keep him safe for the rest of his life.
Issues with litter box use are a very common cause of cat surrenders to rescues or shelters. And most rescues receive calls from past adopters who need advice when an issue arises in their home with one of their kitties not using the box. Kitties who have always been fine with using a box don’t suddenly decide one day not to, there is always a reason. If this happens in your home here are some tips:
A. Bring your kitty to the vet if your kitty suddenly stops using the litter box if you haven’t changed anything else about it. Kitties will often stop using the box when they have a urinary tract infection. They associate the litter box with the pain from the UTI. Some antibiotics and your kitty will be better.
B. The following things can also affect litter box useage;
1. You changed the litter to a new litter your kitty doesn’t like.
2. Not scooping enough- kitties like clean litter boxes like we like clean toilets.
3. Getting a covered box when you haven’t had one before- many kitties don’t like them.
4. Moving the box to some place it isn’t as easily accessible (like in a closet) or, it’s near something that scares the cat. (We had once had an adopter put the litter box in the laundry room- it turned out the cat wouldn’t use it when the washer or dryer was running , the kitty was scared of the noise).
5. Another pet “guarding” the litter box. We once had an adopter put their boxes in a room their dog liked to hang out in. Although the kitty was fine with the dog, the dog would often lay right in front of the box , blocking the cat’s access to it.
6. You have multiple cats and not enough litter boxes. While cats may often use boxes interchangeably, sometimes if you don’t have enough in a multiple cat household, it creates an issue. The general rule is to have one per cat, and if you have a multi-level house, sometimes you need to have a litter box on each level.
7. Your kitty is getting older and the litter boxes are someplace that is becoming difficult for them to get to easily, like a basement (they get arthritis like we do). You may need to put a box on the floor of the house the kitty hangs out in most often.

Little Syrus (he's a year old) isn't sure why he ended up in the shelter because he is a very good boy. When he turned his clear bright eyes on us, we could tell this one is just waiting to blossom in the care of a quiet home. He's a very sweet mellow boy just hoping someone will adopt him and love him forver this time. whoever adopts him is going to be getting a very sweet love-bug guy. He's just moved into one of our foster homes and so glad he is back in a home environment- now he just needs his forever home !!!
Charlie Brown (born in July 2024) may be a little timid at first, but beneath his shy exterior is a gentle soul just waiting to blossom in the right home. This adorable kitten finds comfort in the presence of other cats and will thrive in a home where he has a confident feline friend to show him the ropes. With patience and love, Charlie Brown will warm up to his humans, rewarding them with soft purrs and sweet companionship. He loves cozy hideaways, quiet moments, and gentle playtime with his kitty buddies. If you have a friendly cat looking for a new best friend, Charlie Brown just might be the perfect addition to your family! HIs brother was adopted and he hopes it's his turn next. He keeps asking us why no one has applied to adopt him and we keep telling him his time will come.
