My story

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

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT TCRESCUE.COM/ADOPT

Butterscotch is a young adult, neutered grey tabby born approximately 9/20/22.
 
Butterscotch was trapped with his siblings from a dumpster as kittens, with respiratory infections. He had to receive medicine daily for weeks, and because of this, he i s still a shy boy. He is cat sociable and is fine being within 5 feet of you, but does not like to be touched, unless it is on his terms. He will come up to you for pets when he feels you are incapacitated- aka sitting on the couch or lying in the bed. He also enjoys snuggling on the bed at night, and will purr very loudly once he starts getting scritches behind his ears. He is an observer for the most part, but he's a sweet boy and would benefit from having a home of his own where he can blossom into a more playful snuggle bug.
 
Butterscotch has a beautiful ombre brown and grey striped coat with yellow green eyes. He really loves to play with his siblings and snuggle with the older cats. He is not bothered at all by the rough housing of the dogs in the house, and will often snuggle up to them when they are trying to nap. His favorite toy is a crackly fabric mouse and his favorite resting spot is atop the couch cushions. Butterscotch would do best with another cat or calm dog in the home, and no children or high-energy households.

He has been exposed to feline calicivirus and feline herpes and is likely a carrier for these feline viruses so the best home for Butterscotch will be a home with someone who understands the possibility that he could have "breakouts"- however, in the year he has been with his foster, he has shown NO outward symptoms of having these viruses.
Cats with feline herpes or calicivirus may exhibit symptoms or flareups ranging in severity, randomly or in times of stress throughout their life.

Butterscotch is being fostered in Gilroy.

Adoption fee of $65 covers deworming, rabies and two FVRCP vaccinations, microchip, and  neuter surgery.  
If Butterscotch is adopted with one of his foster siblings, the total adoption fee is only $75 for the pair!

More about this rescue

Tailchaser Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill, animal rescue organization based out of the Bay Area, CA, dedicated to rescuing cats and dogs (and sometimes more) from shelters where they are in danger. We believe in removing barriers to adoption and educating pet owners and potential adopters about responsible pet ownership, the importance of spay / neuter, positive behavior training and good nutrition.

We are a foster-home-based organization and we do not have a shelter or physical location that adopters can visit. All of our rescued animals are cared for by volunteer foster families in their homes. This allows us to get to know the animals better, and helps us assess what type of home environment they will do best in.
