My story

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

Meet Ralphie,



He’s certainly one of the most handsome tuxedos we have met! This mellow man likes to follow you around the house as his biggest heart’s desire is to be wherever you are! This gentleman is confident and curious, and you would never guess his age by looking at him or by the way that he acts. He has a bit of a stiff walk at times due to some achy joints, but his monthly medication keeps this gentleman feeling spry and lively! He will need an adopter who is willing to continue with his monthly medication (Solensia) and be able to administer subcutaneous fluids two to three times per week to help him keep his kidney's hydrated. For a guy his age, he's overall very healthy!



Ralphie would enjoy joining an adult home and would also do well with older children who realize that Ralphie is a cuddle bug and while he does have many playful moments, he thrives on human interaction and would appreciate a home where his humans are around most of the day as he takes immense pleasure in your companionship. He’s not a fan of other cats, and he would prefer to be your one and only furry friend.



He enthusiastically curls up next to you for lots of pets, love, and affection! Ralphie is always ready for mealtimes as he does appreciate the finer things in life. Wet food is his weakness as he can’t resist that delectable aroma, and being the sprightly young man that he is, he will occasionally jump on the counter in search of hidden treats.



Although he’s not a lap cat, he does take great comfort in curling up next to you, receiving plenty of pets, neck rubs, and chin scratches. He’s quiet, and respectful and is always on the lookout for warm comfortable spots for a quiet snooze. He is the great appreciator, not demanding much but always grateful for your attention and love!



Ralphie will thrive best with an adopter that will let him curl up and sleep in bed with them as he becomes attached to his human friends and takes great comfort in their presence. If the bedroom door happens to be shut, he will do his best to break in, as he needs that human connection and extra warmth and love. In return, he is delighted to curl up next to you or on your pillow to chase away any bad dreams with his magnificent purr.



If you are interested in meeting Ralphie please apply at the link below. This fine-looking fellow with his undeniable charm and unique personality is waiting to brighten up your heart and home!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in Forever Fortunate Felines.  We are very happy to have the opportunity to match you with your purr-fect cat-panion!

Once you complete the online application using the below link, you will be able to discuss and ask questions directly to the foster parent.  We believe this is a big advantage to you as our organization is completely foster based, we really understand our cats personalities at a deep level.  This helps to ensure a great match with you and your family.

In order to get the process going, would you kindly fill out our detailed online application located here: 
http://www.foreverfortunatefelines.org/adopt

Completing our online application does not commit you to adopt from our rescue.  Rather it helps us to understand your requirements and match you with the best possible cat or kitten.

Once you complete the application and it is approved, we can set up a meet and greet and if all works out, you may bring the kittens or cats home the same day.  Please make sure to bring an adequately sized pet carrier with you to your meet and greet.  We recommend a pet carrier which opens from the top as this is the easiest way to place a cat inside a carrier.  If you do decide to adopt, we do expect you to take home your cat the same day as there are so many cats and kittens which need to be rescued from high kill shelters, we almost always rescue a new cat or kitten the very next day.  If it is not possible for you to take your cat or kitten home the same day, we do charge a boarding fee of $10 per day for supplies and to encourage you to take your newly adopted cat home.  We will board for a maximum of 3 days if needed to allow you time to get needed supplies.

Our adoption fees are listed at the link below. This fee includes full vetting, flea treatment, de-worming, spay surgery, FeLV and FIV test, microchip insertion, and vaccinations up to date for the kittens or cats age.  We are able to PayPal or most major credit cards for the adoption fee.

We have streamlined our adoption process to make it easy!  Everything from the application, to payment, to the contract is online.  Additionally, all of the cats records will be placed in your free Petlovers account at petstablished.com to keep organized.

With Warm Regards,
