Last Updated: July 8th, 2025
Written by: 2 Goofy Hoomans (Ashley & Alex) and 4 Rescue Cat Reporters (Callie, Mama, Yebba, & Seymour)
Hi, hooman. It’s us again—Callie, Seymour, Mama, and Yebba—your local feline correspondents and sass-certified survivors of the streets. And today, we’re broadcasting LIVE from the meow-crophone to bring you some seriously adoptable greatness.
These cats? They’re not just cute.
They’re not just cuddly.
They’re local legends.
Straight outta Temple, PA, these four whiskered wonders are living at One by One Cat Rescue, waiting patiently (with big eyes and bigger hearts) for someone like you to scoop them up.
Grab a tissue and a treat, and let’s meet the crew.
Gerry, large and lovable gray-and-white domestic short hair cat
Meet Gerry: The Gentle Giant
Some cats win you over with mischief. Others, like Gerry, melt your heart the second they lean in for a cuddle.
Gerry is a large and lovable gray-and-white domestic short hair with a brave heart and a soft soul. He’s curious, affectionate, and the type of cat who will follow you from room to room just to be near you. If you’re looking for a loyal lap-warmer or a gentle companion for your kids or other cats, Gerry’s your guy.
But here’s the thing—Gerry has food allergies, and he’ll need to stick to Science Diet Z/D wet and dry food to feel his best. We know that might give some adopters pause, but trust us: once you meet him, you’ll understand why he’s worth the extra care. His loving nature, friendly attitude, and big ol’ purr are just unmatched.
✅ Neutered
✅ Up-to-date on vaccines
✅ FIV/FeLV negative
✅ House-trained
✅ Good with kids and other cats
He may have some dietary quirks, but this Local Legend from One by One Rescue is ready to bring love and light into your home.

Meet Cinder: The Midnight Queen of Quiet Companionship
Meet Cinder: The Quiet Companion
Cinder may not be the loudest cat in the room—but she’s the one you’ll never forget. This stunning 7-year-old long-haired beauty has the kind of quiet charm that sneaks up on your heart and never lets go.
Before arriving at One by One Cat Rescue, Cinder lived in a home with very little social interaction. But since joining the rescue family, she’s blossomed into a calm and loving companion. Cinder enjoys being brushed, playing with toys, and will even curl up on your lap once she feels safe. She’s an independent soul who just needs a little patience—and a lot of love.
Cinder thrives in peaceful spaces. A home without children or dogs would be ideal, but she’s open to making friends with other mellow cats.
✅ Spayed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ FIV/FeLV negative
✅ House-trained
✅ Big fan of lap naps & brush time
If you’ve been dreaming of a soft, silky shadow to share your quiet moments with, Cinder might just be your forever match.
🖤 Ready to give Cinder the gentle life she deserves?

She’s confident, playful, and smart — the kind of cat who knows exactly when you need a little extra love. Her favorite place? Wherever you are. Her favorite thing? You.
Sweet Pea would thrive in a home with other cats, respectful children, or anyone who’s ready to welcome a whole lot of love into their life.

Meet Tom: The Dignified Gentleman of Temple, PA
Meet Tom: The Calm Bestie
There’s something timeless about Tom the cat. Maybe it’s his regal orange-and-white coat, maybe it’s his calm presence — or maybe it’s just the way he quietly becomes your best friend without trying too hard.
Tom is a 3–4-year-old domestic short hair who has traded street life for the sweet life. He’s affectionate, friendly, and has a playfully dignified charm that makes everyone feel at ease. Tom doesn’t need much—just a soft bed, a sunny window, and a human who appreciates the art of quiet companionship.
He gets along well with other cats and would thrive in a mellow home where he can stretch out, watch the birds, and remind you that you're loved.
✅ Neutered
✅ Vaccinated
✅ FIV/FeLV negative
✅ House-trained
✅ Laid-back, lovable, and loyal
If you're ready to share your space with a wise and gentle soul, Tom is the Local Legend you’ve been waiting for.
