My story

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

See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer *

Marmalade is a 5-year-old male, neutered dilute orange tabby tomcat. He is huge! He is 13 pounds lean. Marmalade was trapped and neutered as a feral cat in February of 2022 and declined to become social at that time. He was tested and vaccinated then. About 4 months ago, he changed his tune and began interacting with his food-supplier and began gradually allowing touch, to the point that he eventually allowed himself to be picked up and brought inside. Marmalade has an intermittent right front leg limp from an unknown cause. He has had this worked up and was re-tested and updated on vaccines once coming inside. He is negative on all tests and is now up to date on all vaccines as well as heartworm and flea prevention. He does well with other cats, and he is gradually warming to dogs. He could do well solo or with other cats. He has great litter-box manners and is very gentle, considering his previous outdoor life. Please email critterdoc09@gmail.com for more information.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Cat adoption fee is $125, and $175 for dogs. We attempt to match the animal's characteristics with the family and their lifestyle. We require an application form, which becomes part of the adoption contract, a personal or phone interview, veterinarian reference if applicable, home visit, and an additional agreement about how the animal will be treated. Cats must be indoors only, not declawed. Dogs must be fenced or leashed when outdoors and treated as part of the family--indoors as much as possible, and always at night. Adopter agrees to provide regular veterinary care, and to return the animal to us if they ever give it up. We reserve the right to check on the animal's welfare from time to time, with appropriate notice.

Go meet their pets

As a volunteer group, we do not have a facility. Our animals reside in foster homes. We show them at local events and by appointment.

More about this rescue

We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue group, with emphasis on mixed-breed dogs and cats. We adopt primarily from our local animal shelter, although we occasionally take in hardship cases. We also assist individuals in our area by advertising on our website animals they need to rehome, if the animals have been spayed/neutered. We donate pet food to a local food bank as well as to the county senior center's pet food distribution. We fund free spay/neuter and vaccinations through a local veterinary service for low-income families. We gratefully accept donations, and we need volunteers for many events. More than anything, we need foster homes.
