My story

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

Duchess Marie is a playful and energetic 10-year-old female, grey and white Maine coon mix, with probably some Persian -- based on her personality and appearance. She is a complete lap cat and follows her foster mom all over the house rubbing up against her legs. At night Duchess enjoys cuddles on the couch while watching TV and getting pets and belly rubs. Duchess has some of the softest fur ever with a big fluffy tail reminding every one of a feather duster. She would do well as a solo kitty to get all the attention, but is ok with other cats. She is very curious and likes to explore her surroundings. If you like a kitty to talk to you, Duchess is perfect; she has a soft, quiet voice and the foster mom says they have full conversations. Duchess is full of playfulness. One of her favorite toys is the laser pointer and tiny little balls. Also, of course, anything with catnip.

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.
