My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Long John (on left) and Sadie: These gorgeous silver tiger kit- tens came from behind a Holiday Inn. Our volunteer was actually trying to trap a sick adult domestic cat and these two ended up in the same trap. These two have not made as much progress in the people- trusting department as some of the others. They’re nosy, so they like to hang around to keep tabs on what’s going on, but they are not interested in interacting. They would probably be best in a barn situa- tion or with someone who likes having cats around but doesn’t want to interact with them much. They are a pair and need to go together. Long John has a good chance of being a gigantic cat, but Sadie runs the show. They probably would be OK with a mellow dog, but these two need to be the only cats.

The back story: WAG has a wonderful volunteer who helps us with all things kitten: she’ll take pregnant mothers, mothers with young kittens, or even orphan kittens and do a great job with them. This volunteer also rescues feral cats on her own (WAG isn’t set up to handle feral cats): for true ferals, she does trap-neuter-release. But for young kittens who can still be turned into house cats, this volunteer spends months getting them to be trusting, loving companions.

This last summer, she took in about 15 kittens. Some came along quickly and have already been placed, but she still has 11 left. They are all at the point now where they would benefit from being in homes of their own. As our volunteer also needs to move, WAG has agreed to help her, so we need to place these kittens as soon as possible.

The kittens are all about 7 months old, and all have been spayed or neutered and have been tested for Feline Leukemia, FIV, and FIP, treated for parasites, and vaccinated. For some of them, we are willing to relax our indoor-cat- only rule. We’re also reducing our adoption fee to $25 per kitten.

They have been worked with a lot, but all will need weeks to adjust to a new home and people, and all still have a ways to go to completely come out of their shells so will need patience and effort on the parts of their new owners to bring them to their full potential. They are all currently happily living in a house. They are used to other cats, and we think they all would be fine with a mellow dog. No young kids.

WAG only accepts applications from New Hampshire residents and from residents of communities in Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts that are on the New Hampshire border. PLEASE NOTE: WAG usually responds to inquiries and applications within a couple of days, but we are having problems with our email. If you've emailed us or sent us a message and haven't gotten a response, please either call us at 603-529-5443 or send us a Facebook message at www.facebook.com/wearewag. We're sorry for this inconvenience!
