My story

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

Meet Charlie! Charlie is gorgeous like a super meowdel. Also like a super meowdel, she would prefer that you admire her beauty from afar. Though Charlie has come a long way during her time in foster, she is still unsure of humans. She does not prefer to be touched but will tolerate short pets if you manage to slowly approach her when she is relaxed in a cat cubby. She can be sassy and hisses - but she has never displayed any actual aggression.

Charlie loves wet food, her foster friends, and relaxing. She even recently started showing interest in playing with a wand toy with her foster mom! When her foster mom isn't around, she enjoys playing chase with the other cats. Charlie is FeLV+, but she would do best being adopted into a home where there is another welcoming but confident cat around. (Perhaps you have a FeLV+ kitty looking for a friend?)

Due to Charlie still learning to trust humans, she would need to go to a home that is quiet with no children. She will also need an extremely patient adopter who would be willing to start her in a small room with minimal hiding spaces who has time to spend with her each day to continue to reinforce to her that humans are okay. Her perfect adopter can bond with her over wet food and continue to play with her with the wand toy (once she's ready!).

Charlie is estimated to be about 3.5 years old. She has been spayed, dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV- and FeLV+ (progressive). This chronic illness doesn't currently affect Charlie's daily life much; however, the FeLV virus may eventually affect her health and lifespan, as FeLV impairs the cat's immune system. Becoming established with a vet supportive of treating an FeLV+ cat, controlling secondary infections, and treating other illnesses as they arise is essential to maintaining an FeLV+ kitty.

Do you think you have what it takes to love from afar, and are you willing to love a "project cat"? Apply to adopt gorgeous girl Charlie today!

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.
