My story

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

Figgy is a lot of fun and affectionate, while good at entertaining herself. This petite panther female has plenty of kitten energy and zooms around showing off her athleticism. She loves windows and tracking birds, and so needs secure windows. She will be a bit shy at first in a new space yet toys, treats, and gentle voices are the way to her heart. Figgy is a champion headbutter - it is her favorite way to show affection. Just put your hand out and she happily butts it to start the petting marathon. She doesn't like being carried or held yet loves cuddling with you. Once Figgy trusts you, she is unabashed in her claim to a spot right next to you. Just everything needs to be her idea - or this determined little Taurus needs to think it is. She loves to lay on her back next to you but isn’t inviting you to pet her tummy - she just trusts you and is very comfy looking like a turtle. Figgy has good bed manners and waits until your alarm sounds to help wake you up. Sometimes when you pet her head, she goes into “downward dog” and sticks her butt in the air while shaking her tail - it's adorable! Figgy is afraid of boots or quickly moving feet and will quickly hop up on a couch, chair or storage cube to feel safe. We do not recommend her for a home with children. She is very particular about which cats she likes so would be fine solo as long as she gets plenty of attention. Found as a stray in New Jersey, she was born around May 18 2021. Figgy loves deeply when she trusts and you couldn't ask for a more loyal forever companion!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Once you've filled out an application, we will contact your references and put you in touch with the foster/caregiver of the cat. Once your application is approved, we schedule you to attend an online group seminar on cat care. Then you would sign the adoption papers, pay the adoption fee, and make arrangements for the cat to be moved to your home. We always do a home visit which is both reassuring to the cat when it is being introduced and to the foster who has taken care of the cat. Presently we are doing home visits with FaceTime or Zoom to confirm you have secure windows, no toxic plants and a generally safe environment for a cat. The adoption fee is $150 for one cat under 7 years old, $75 for one cat 7 years and older.

All cats have been tested for the Feline Leukemia and FIV virus, vaccinated (FVRCP and Rabies vaccines), microchipped, dewormed and spayed/neutered. If you adopt kittens that are too young to be altered, we will arrange the spay/neuter/microchip at a later date at a partner vet.

More about this rescue

Anjellicle Cats Rescue is an all-volunteer registered 501c3 cat rescue committed to helping make New York a no-kill city. As one of the most active cat rescues in the 5 boroughs, ACR is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and adopting out homeless cats and kittens, many of which are sick, injured or dismissed as unadoptable. Through a coalition of volunteer advocates and caregivers, each rescued cat is welcomed with kindness and medical care into a foster home with the goal of adoption into a permanent, loving home. We believe that no animal should be ill-treated and strive toward a day when awareness, education and compassion have served to replace euthanasia as a solution to companion animal overpopulation.
