My story

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

Hi, my name is Rambo! I am called that because I fear nothing!

I am told I am about 2 years old. Personally, I think I might be younger than that.
I am full grown and I weigh about 32lbs, the humans think I am a miniature pincher mix. What ever that means, the humans are saying someone named 'DNA' will tell us more when he arrives. So, I am waiting on him.

I am full of energy and I love to hug and cuddle with the humans here in my foster home. I get along great with all their other dogs... and there's lots of other doggies here!
Except, I don't like their beagle too much. She's grumpy and growls at me, but I tolerate her.

Before I got here to my foster home, I was at a different foster house and they had lots of kitties. I liked the kitties just fine, even though they didn't like me too much. One them slapped me just because I sniffed him!

For my forever home, I would love a human that likes to run. I love to run, too!! I also love to take long hikes in the woods.
Swimming is ok... I wouldn't necessarily go looking for water to swim in, but I know how if I have to.

I know how to rest when it's time, too. You don't have to entertain me all day, every day. But if I get some good exercise and cuddles in early in the day, I'm pretty happy till dinner time. Oh.. and did I mention I LOVE to eat?? And I take treats very gently. I would never want to hurt your fingers.
And if you have a fenced in back yard, I promise I will keep the squirrels out!!
And I am fully house trained. I will ask to go outside if I have to potty.

My biggest wish is to find a home just like this. If you think I would make a good fit with you, your home and family, I would love to meet you!!

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteer

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.

More about this rescue

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.
