My story

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

Cloud is a very loving kitty that loves a good petting. He is an adventurous kitty that loves to explore his surroundings and play. He's also very cuddly and sleeps in bed with his foster. He loves his toys and play time, especially the laser light. 

Full disclosure disclaimer:  Cloud has permanent damage from ear mites.  He shakes and wobbles when he walks, but he has no idea anything is wrong and is acts like a normal kitty.  His clumsy movements are so adorable and just make him that much more loveable. He came from a colony with a horrible upper respiratory infection as well as ringworm and unfortunately ear mites.  Despite his awful start in life, Cloud is just the sweetest kitty ever and I am not kidding when I say his clumsiness is adorable and at times quite amusing.

If you are interested, please fill out an adoption form on our website. We are foster based, so we schedule meet and greets so that our fosters are a part of the process. You can also visit our kitties at the Sumter Petco every Friday, Saturday & Sunday.



If you are interesting in meeting any of our pets, the process is to complete an application.  It can be downloaded as a pdf document from our website and submitted by email to WindyRidgeRescue@gmail.com  as a scanned document or as photos OR can be completed entirely online. Both links are in the header of our website.  

Because we are foster based, we require an approved application to schedule a meet and greet. We feel that is fair to our fosters and rescues so every meet and greet can result in an adoption. A limited number of cats are showcased at Peetco in Sumter, SC weekly. 

​We do not have set adoption fees for dogs, but hope adopters will donate generously so we can rescue more. The medical care for every dog can easily exceed the adoption donation.  Average adoption fees for dogs in the area range from $175 up to $450. Your generous adoption donations help us continue our programs of providing quality food and medical care to those who pass through our fosters. 

We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $70 for cats who are not yet altered and $100 for cats who are already spayed or neutered, regardless of age.  Please bring your own carrier for the ride home!  Each cat is up to date on vaccinations, dewormer, and microchipped.  Larger donations are always welcome so we can rescue more.  Medical care for each cat easily exceeds the minimum donation.  

​As with every rescue, our resources are limited and the need for rescue help is unlimited. Your generosity helps us to rescue more and funds the only Trap Neuter Return Program in the county.  It's like tossing $100 bills in the woods when we trap a cat, vaccinate and spay or neuter that cat and then return them to the colony. Young kittens are tamed and available for adoption. We are alone doing this in our area. Your increased donation at the time of adoption can help us cover costs for the cat becoming part of your family as well as a feral to prevent more feral litters. 

​Adopting or fostering for a rescue frees up a space where a new rescue can reside. 

​If you can't adopt or foster, than please consider donating

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters complete an adoption application and all animals in the household attend a meet & greet once vet references and a home visit is complete. Fees are negotiable, but a non-refundable donation is required. Follow ups and access to a dog behaviorist/trainer is encouraged. A finalized adoption contract is required. Our rescue is an all volunteer organization and many of our volunteers are employed full time elsewhere. Please be patient for someone to contact you or return your call. Thank you.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Meet and greets for dogs are by appointment only. Cats and kitten are at Petco in Sumter every Friday evening, Saturday & Sunday during open hours. Adopton Events are scheduled in the Columbia, Sumter, Camden. Lugoff, and Elgin areas of SC.

More about this rescue

We are a group of people dedicated to saving animals in our community from being euthanized in shelters, living as strays, or ending up in abusive situations. We pool our resources and connections together with donations from our supporters to relocate the unwanted to areas of our great country where their fates are full of love and admiration and families of their own. We do adopt locally, although without a facility, we rely on fosters and our fosters appreciate knowing exactly when their guests will be leaving.

We also assist families and the community with Trap, Neuter, Return efforts and team up with pet parents and rescue partners whenever it makes sense to save and help more animals in need. We are always looking for short term fosters and drivers and of course, donors!
