Schmi's story...
Schmi is a lover. She wants to be the center of someone's world. She could happily sit in someone's lap for the majority of her time and simply be adored. She seems to love all humans. Schmi tolerates other cats, but does not love them. Thus, she really should be an only cat or, perhaps, a second cat in a very large house. She will tolerate dogs, but requires her own "space" to get away from them if they are overzealous in their attention. Schmi would be in heaven with a retired person who has plenty of time and affection. She could also easily adapt to a nursing home that was cat-friendly. To Schmi, the more hands available to pet her, the better the home!

About Our Rescue Group...
Black Sheep Rescue is a family effort. Our name is a sort of inside joke both because animals who come to us are usually the "black sheep" (aka sick, injured, challenging personalities or otherwise unwanted by others) and also because our efforts generally have caused the less animal-friendly of our family to consider us "black sheep".

We nurse sick cats back to health, hand-raise abandoned/orphaned kittens, rehabilitate traumatized cats, rehabilitate some feral cats and patch up injured ones. Ultimately, we provide a permanent home for cats who cannot be restored to full health or whose behavioral issues make them unsuitable for adoption to another family. We never "give up" on a cat and we never, ever euthanize for any reason other than a vet's opinion that the animal is suffering and there is no other means of alleviating the cat's suffering and no real hope of survival.

Please be patient if we do not reply immediately. There are only four of us and the one who generally handles adoptions is disabled. Thus we don't always manage to get to the computer or phone on a terribly regular basis, especially if we have a very sick cat.

Unable to adopt, but still want to help? We are not currently a non-profit organization, so donations are not eligible (yet) for tax-deduction. If you'd like to contribute in a general sense, we gratefully accept gift certificates to the pet store of your choice. If you'd like to be more personally involved, we are working on a program where interested parties can "virtually adopt" one of our permanent residents. For more information, please contact us!

We are currently at capacity, physically, emotionally and financially. With regret, we cannot accept any surrendered animals at this time.

We are in the process of networking with other small rescues and individuals interested or involved with animal rescue. If you'd like to be a part of a collaborative effort, please feel free to drop us a note for more information! Working together, we can maximize our efforts and save more lives!

We do occasionally help dogs as well. Most are not housed at our rescue, but are fostered elsewhere and we do a courtesy listing and try to help them out with basic care until they can be adopted.

Our Adoption Process...
Fees depend upon the cat in question, particularly with regard to whether they've had their shots yet or have been spayed/neutered. Fees can range between $25 and $75. We also take into consideration the circumstances of the individual or family seeking adoption. We firmly believe that a person or family does not have to be independently wealthy to be able to provide a loving, healthy home for a cat. We will work with people who have limited income to achieve an emergency fund for future veterinary expenses and we will also provide referrals to organizations who can help defray the cost of veterinary care, both routine and emergency.
We do require a contract, the main points of which being:
1). Cats are for indoor homes only.
2). If an adoptive family is ever in a position of not being able to keep a cat or if the only option is to put the cat outdoors, they must return the cat to us.
3). We retain the right to take the cat back into custody if there is ever a situation where the cat is in danger of abuse, neglect or any other detrimental situation.
4). If not already spayed/neutered at the time of adoption, the cat must be altered as soon as a vet deems appropriate.
5). We agree to provide ongoing support in the form of encouragement and troubleshooting to the adopters, during the introductory phase and onward.
