My story

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

Introducing... Berlioz! Berlioz came to TCR as a kitten with several littermates, and he is finally ready to find his forever home! Berlioz is a playful and friendly boy, who can be a little timid at first. He likes to hang out under things while surveying the situation. When he feels comfortable he will run out to enjoy some pets, which is often. He is the "black sheep" of his family, having come into our care with five white siblings... and two white moms!

Once Berlioz adjusts to a new family, we are sure that he will be out and about wanting lots of affection, petting, and playtime. He can be very expressive about how much he loves love! Berlioz is currently being fostered with three of his littermates and gets along well with all of them. He would love to be adopted with one of them, or to a home with another friendly cat he can play with. He has not yet met a dog during his time in foster. We think that he would do well in a home with respectful kiddos.

Berlioz is about 1.5 years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. He was successfully treated for ringworm while in our care. Please apply for this sweet boy (and a littermate?) today!

Disclaimer: Berlioz came to TCR with one littermate who was diagnosed with FIP many months ago. FIP is caused by a commonly contracted feline coronavirus (FeCV), which must mutate within the cat to become FIP. FIP can have a genetic component, making some littermates more susceptible to succumbing to the disease. FIP most commonly occurs in cats younger than 1.5 years of age. Berlioz (and littermates) are currently healthy, but to be overly cautious we would want to discuss the typical symptoms of FIP and what to watch out for with any interested adopters.

For more information on FIP, please read these articles: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-infectious-peritonitis

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.
