ADOPT A
COMPANION
FOR LIFE
We have many cats looking
for a nice home and a lap
on which to curl up!
One By One is a no-kill cat rescue located in Berks County Pennsylvania.
We are a no-kill local cat rescue dedicated to helping abandoned, stray, and rescued cats within our communities. We provide quality shelter and foster care through the efforts of our dozens of volunteers and for the lifetime of a cat when necessary. One By One Cat Rescue will always place a cat’s health, happiness, and well-being above all else! Our ultimate goal is to find the best match for both our cats and adopting families through careful screening and personal discussion. Located in the Temple PA area, we have provided wonderful pets to adopting families in the Reading area as well as Lehigh, Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Montgomery counties since 1994. We also hold several cat adoption events, so check out future events for more info.
Our Mission:
Provide shelter, medical care, food and love for cats and kittens awaiting their “furrever” home. Your donations make our mission possible!
Available Cats
Adopting a cat can be a wonderful experience! We are a no-kill cat rescue and have been providing care for cats in Berks County for over 20 years. We survive from your generosity and are solely funded by donations.
Donate
Every little bit helps. Your donation will enable our no-kill cat rescue to house, feed, provide medical attention and keep our organization running for all of the homeless cats that we are trying to place in their forever home.
Share your heart
For as little as $10 a month, you can help feed one of our life-long shelter cats. Toys and treats are also welcome!
Share your home
Fostering a cat helps them adjust to a whole new lifestyle! With our limited space, we count on foster parents to provide a loving home and socialization.
Join the team
There are no unimportant jobs at One By One. Every volunteer contributes in some way to supporting our efforts of finding homes for all of our kitties. Cleaning, playing, feeding, helping at events, transporting, and of course LOVING are just a few of the jobs our volunteers do on a daily basis.

We had an incredible experience with One by One Cat Adoption! We adopted two adorable, loving kittens and couldn’t be happier. The staff is top notch and treats each cat as their own. Love this place
We’re hoping to adopt more kitties from One by One
The kitties at One by One are so lucky to have such loving & compassionate humans caring for them! We just adopted 2 kittens today! Lori is great and we’re hoping to adopt more kitties from One by One in the future!
The staff really cares
The staff really cares about the cats. Lori goes above and beyond to make sure the right cats go to the right homes as she seems to know each cat’s personality. One by One is a wonderful organization!
One By One Cat Rescue is a great place to adopt a cat!
One By One Cat Rescue is a great place to adopt a cat! Lori took her time to get to know what I was looking for before matching me with Nani and Aboo, who are a perfect fit! I like how the shelter has the cats free to roam in their rooms and not in cages. The staff cares about the cats and it shows. I would definitely recommend!
Wow! What an amazing rescue.
Wow! What an amazing rescue. Very impressed by the clean building, set up, and supplies for cats of all ages and how wonderful Lori is. Very knowledgeable about every cat and knows their stories. If you are looking for a kitten or an older cat, this is the place to find one that will be a puuurrrfect match!
I adopted my “total package” rescue here
I adopted my “total package” rescue here 🤍 I was so comforted by the care and support these animals were receiving when I came to meet some of the kitties. The staff were amazing and kind and seemed to care ETERNALLY for these animals. They do so much from vet care to fostering kittens out before adoptions take place which made me feel totally confident in the adoption! I recommend everyone I know who is interested in adoption here – I will adopt again when I move to a larger home.
They’ve brought joy into my life
I have done volunteer work and Foster care for 1 by 1 over the last 5 years. Last year I lost my 2 elderly cats. I was heartbroken. I stopped at the shelter to donate my leftover stuff, and met the 2 most wonderful kittens you could ever imagine. Thank you to Lori for giving me the chance to adopt these 2 girls. They’ve brought joy into my life
…extremely impressed with the love the staff gives the animals.
My family lost one of our cats and his mom and sister were also very sad. We knew we wanted another cat and we lucked out and were able to adopt a brother and sister. One By One is the perfect place to adopt a cat. My husband and I were extremely impressed with the love the staff gives the animals. Lori and her staff do an amazing job with all the cats. I will forever thank them for our new babies and highly recommended them to anyone looking to adopt.
I would 100 percent recommend this shelter to anyone looking for a kitty.
This place is very clean and organized and have very helpful and friendly staff. So many friendly and cute fur babies. We are happy with our Douglas. We could not ask for a more loving and caring kitty. He seems to have adjusted to his forever home in less than a week. I would 100 percent recommend this shelter to anyone looking for a kitty.
They truly take pride in what they do
This rescue is amazing. They truly take pride in what they do and have huge heart to help all these cats/kittens that deserve amazing homes. Recommend them 100%
The compassion for the cats under their care is indisputable.
The compassion for the cats under their care is indisputable. I could not have been happier with their professionalism and knowledge. Fantastic organization!
…by far the best one my husband & I have ever been to.
This rescue shelter is by far the best one my husband & I have ever been too. They truly care about the animals, they don’t keep them locked in a cage all day every day, the place is extremely clean and the staff is very very nice! My husband and I traveled an hour to come to their shelter and it was 100% worth it, while we did not adopt the cat we had planned for, we did adopt one that bonded with us very well during our time there. The adoption process was very easy and they responded quickly to us & our application.
I am IN LOVE!!
Just adopted Roger from Lori at One by One and I am IN LOVE!! The shelter is extremely nice and clean and Lori took the time to allow me to find my purrfect match! Thank you!!
The staff here really cares, and it shows.
Lori and Naomi recently helped us adopt Jethro, and we couldn’t be happier with this lovable little addition to our family. We had a great experience with One By One. The facility is clean, well organized, and the cats are all so well socialized! The staff here really cares, and it shows.
Prompt and courteous.
Very helpful with a stray kitten I had living under my shed. Excellent communication with setting up vet appointment. Prompt and courteous. I would definitely recommend them.
