Sweetie is a 2-year-old tortie who is so adorably sweet, the shelter staff worked very hard to save her when her time was up. Sweetie is rather scared of other cats so would be most outgoing in a home where she's the only pet. She's very ladylike and loves to be petted, brushed and held. She loves a big, soft dog bed -- or of course, YOUR bed! With your love, a soft bed and a window to look out, she will be in heaven. Sweetie's right ear is flat to her head from a past burst blood vessel, but the vet says the ear causes her no trouble at all. That little flat ear does add to her cuteness, however!

WE'LL PARTICIPATE IN THE 2-DAY PETCO ADOPTATHON, MARCH 20-21! COME SEE US, 1-7 P.M.! 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...
Currently we conduct adoptions at the new Petco in Chester at Hwy. 10 and Jefferson Davis, in Bermuda Square Shopping Center along with Starbucks, Shoneys and Ukrops (across from Friendly's on Hwy. 10 and across from Lowe's on Jefferson Davis), 1-7 Saturdays. Please call to confirm or 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. All live in our home, treated as companion pets and are not caged. 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.
Our Adoption Process...
Our contract requires: No declawing (toe amputation) and indoors only. You'll complete an adoption contract and questionnaire, and a Petco adoption form. The adoption process takes less than an hour and your new pet can go home with you same day. Be sure to bring a carrier or plan to buy a carrier or Petco tote box for $6.99. Cost of adoption: $75, cash only, completely tax deductible and a letter will be supplied. If a pair are adopted, or a senior cat, a discount price will be available.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
We are a branch of Cat Rescue, Inc., based in Chesapeake, Va., serving the Petersburg-Fort Lee area. WE CAN ACCEPT NO CATS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, only from shelters or as arranged by the director.
