My story

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

Meet Onyx

Onyx is a sleek, beautiful house panther with the cutest anime eyes. She's one of what we call our Special Cats for Special People, because she is a little shy and needs an understanding home that will give her time to warm up. She came from a feral colony where the caretaker died, and was rescued just a little outside the ideal socialization window.

She doesn't like other cats too much (but will tolerate them), and it is our belief that she will really blossom in a home with no or just one other cat, where she can get more one-on-one attention to develop her social skills. She loves being petted, but can become overstimulated, so an ideal adopter is someone that knows how to observe a cat's body language and cut petting sessions short before she rewards you with a swat for your attentions. Her "ok to pet" window has grown increasingly longer over time, so again, we believe that with patience the right person will win her completely over. She wants to be loved, she just gets overwhelmed by it. Her fur is the softest, so you will be well rewarded for your efforts.

Contact us for more information!

***********************************************************************************************
Unless noted to be ok as a single cat, it is a solid requirement to either have another kitten/cat in the home or adopt two kittens, preferably littermates, together.
We agree with the experts on cat companions, especially for kittens:

We are looking for loving, attentive, forever homes where our adoptable kittens will be cared for and loved as well as have all of their physical and emotional needs met.

or email adopt@kudzucatalliance.org for more info!

By the time of adoption:
All kittens/cats with Kudzu Cat Alliance have been combo tested for FIV/Felv, age appropriate vaccines, dewormer, spay/neuter, and microchip.

Adoption fees

Why we have them:
Most of our kittens come from a rough start in life and we invest a great deal of time, energy, physical effort, resources, and money getting them healthy and ready for a forever home. Our baseline investment per kitten/cat when they are totally healthy averages $150, though that can easily increase, depending upon health/medical issues, into hundreds or dollars. [We operate on donations; adoption fees help only to offset the cost of vet care. Everyone with Kudzu Cat Alliance is a volunteer.]

What they are:
Single adoptions (only if there is another kitten/cat already in the home, unless otherwise specified) -- kittens 12 months and under are $125; cats, over 12 months, are $100;
Pair adoptions -- kittens 12 months and under are $200; cats, over 12 months, are $150.

Donations:
If you want to help us continue saving these often overlooked lives we welcome and very greatly appreciate donations -- one time donations, regularly recurring donations, or donations in addition to adoption fees, and even sponsorship of kitten/cat care or adoption fees. To donate either text KUDZU to 44-321 or visit kudzu.link/ally or visit https://kudzucatalliance.org/support/

Is the kitten/cat in this profile available to adopt:
If you see a kitten/cat listed, the cat is available for inquiries and applications to be submitted.

Please feel free to contact us at adopt@kudzucatalliance.org for any specific questions!

More about this rescue

Kudzu Cat Alliance’s primary mission is to stabilize community cat populations through a trap-neuter-return program, and to educate the public about the benefits of TNR.

When possible we also rescue feral-born kittens and foster them to adoption. They are given TLC, vetting, socialization and house training to help their development into perfect pets for forever, loving homes.

Kudzu Cat Alliance is a 501(c)(3) organization, and is licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture as a foster-based cat rescue.
