Paws FOSTER ME!'s Story...
Paws came to us about 2 years ago with chronic bouts of severe vomitting. It got to the point that she would no longer eat food. Try as we might with various things nothing seemed to work until we got her exploratory surgery and she was then diagnosed with Small Cell Intestinal Lymphoma. We are not looking for someone to adopter her but to foster her for how ever long she has which could be years and years and years away. She was found as a stray by a family that kept her for 10 years but when she began to show signs of illness dropped her at a local shelter. We saw how sweet she was and took her in. All she has to give is love and all she wants to give is love. The family that had her never took her to the vets (not ever). She now no longer has any problems or shows any signs of illness at all. She weighs a nice healthy 11 lbs but only wants to eat dry food which is okay because she never over eats. She is loving and playful and cuddly. Her favorite spot in the whole house is laying on top of her foster moms chest and kneading away for a good 10 minutes and then she will lay down and simply purr both you and her to sleep. The only thing she needs is one pill a day that she will actually sit and wait for. She sits waits as her foster mom sits in front of her and Paws will open her mouth for the pill. If she isnt ready she might put up a paw to tell you and then put it down when she is ready to take it again.

About Our Rescue Group...
Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.

Our Adoption Process...
Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.
