Nelly's Story...
Nelly and her kittens, Nicole and Noelle, were in the New Kent shelter and ran out of time, so they were transferred to Cat Rescue. Nelly has been spayed now and is ready for a new home. Nelly is a happy, feisty, playful girl who loves toys, running, and scratching on her cardboard scratchers. She can be a bully around shy or gentle cats, so she's pretty much a tomboy. Someone taught her to play much too rough, so we'll let you know the best ways to keep letting her know she needs to play more gently, and in our training she IS responsive and smart enough to learn better manners about being rough. If you like a lively, playful, silly cat, that's Nelly. Because she had urinary crystals at one point, keep her on Purina One Urinary Tract Health and that's ALL -- it keeps everything perfect for her! Also, she has a BFF, Sweetie, who seems to think Nelly is some kind of rock star, so we want to place these girls together.

About Our Rescue Group...
Cat Rescue, Inc., saves cats slated for euthanasia at overloaded shelters. No cat is adopted out prior to spay or neuter. The home organization is based in Chesapeake, managing the pet center in the Petsmart at Greenbrier Mall, Chesapeake. Adoptions number approximately 500 per year. We are a 501(c)(3)nonprofit, ALL VOLUNTEER, home foster based, no-kill organization. All donations and contracts paid are submitted to the director of Cat Rescue, Inc., in Chesapeake, Va., and are applied to food and medical needs of cats and kittens under the organization's care. The organization is committed to accepting any cat adopted from us if the owner for any reason has to give up the cat, for the rest of the cat's life; in effect, we provide a "life insurance" policy for these cats so that they never have to end up on "death row" in a shelter again.

Come Meet Our Pets...
On Feb. 18-19, we will conduct adoptions at the Swift Creek Petco in Midlothian off Hull Street at 13329 Rittenhouse Drive (on 1st and 3rd Saturdays). Other Saturdays, we're at the Chester Petco at Hwy. 10 and Jefferson Davis, in Bermuda Square Shopping Center, 12633 Jeff Davis Highway, along with Starbucks, Shoneys and Martins. Hours are noon-7. Please call to confirm and to ensure the cat you want to see will be at the store that day, since we don't bring all the cats. We normally have cats no younger than six months old. All are spayed/neutered and have distemper and rabies shots, are wormed and tested for feline AIDS and leukemia. As a home-based foster organization, the cats are treated as companion pets. All food and medical bills are paid by the foster family without reimbursement, so adopters are assured that their adoption fees go toward the care and well-being of cats in the organization, many who have staggering medical bills, or who are unadoptable and must be cared for throughout their lifetime by the organization. In general, the basic cost of vetting a normal cat without medical issues is $200-300, so the $75 adoption fee is far below what has been invested in each cat.
