My story

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

Meet Chippy! Chippy has been through a lot in her short life - after coming to TCR as a kitten she was diagnosed with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis), and FeLV (feline leukemia). Because she has endured so much medically through her FIP journey, she is still a little shy. She would do best with a confident FeLV+ cat buddy in her forever home to help her adjust and feel comfortable.

Despite Chippy's history, she has always remained the sweetest little girl. She would even give her foster mom kisses after her FIP injections. She and her foster friend Misfit (also FeLV+) have become pretty close over the past couple of months - they would LOVE to be adopted together. They chase each other around the room and wrestle. Chippy also loves catnip toys, laying on top of her donut/tunnel cat bed, wand toys, and other chase toys. She also enjoys looking out the window and cuddling up in a blanket.

Chippy does not prefer to be held but can be handled easily. She will approach her humans and welcomes pets during wet food time. She LOVES her wet food and churu treats! Chippy would probably do okay in a home with older, quiet/calm, children and a calmer, cat savvy dog. She does not seem to mind her foster mom’s small, older dog.

Chippy is about 1.5 years old. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea treated, vaccinated, and has tested FIV- and FeLV+ (progressive). This chronic illness doesn't currently affect Chippy's daily life much; however, the FeLV virus may eventually affect her health and lifespan, as FeLV impairs the cat's immune system. Becoming established with a vet supportive of treating an FeLV+ cat, controlling secondary infections, and treating other illnesses as they arise is essential to maintaining an FeLV+ kitty.

Are you Chippy’s person who is going to love and spoil her, no matter what life throws at her next? Please apply to adopt this sweet and deserving kitty today.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Typically we talk a little with potential adopters to find a cat who is a good fit before sharing the application.

2.

Approve Application

We check over the application including checking vet references and doing landlord checks.

3.

Interview

We spend more time chatting with the adopters to specifically go over any questions from the application and details about the specific cat.

4.

Meet the Pet

Potential adopters have a meet and greet with the cat or kitten in the foster home.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

At the meet and greet, if all goes well, the adoption contract can be signed, the fee can be paid, and the pet can go home!

6.

Pay Fee

7.

Take the Pet Home

Additional adoption info

We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

More about this rescue

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.

Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
