My story

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

Ever wanted a cat who greets you at the door like a little furry sunshine, and loves to be in the room with her humans? Meet Coraline – your soon-to-be best friend who will greet you when you come home and will talk your ear off at mealtime with excited meows and rubs against your legs as you prepare her bowl.
 
Coraline likes to follow you from room to room, just to be near you, and if you give her enough time to settle into her new home she may eventually sit on your lap and allow you to pet her head and scratch under her chin. She has the funniest snore when she is sleeping.
 
She loves the sound of your voice and might even talk back to you if you’re lucky! Coraline doesn’t just want to be near you – she wants to be part of your day. Whether you’re listening to a podcast or chatting away, she’ll be right there, happily soaking up the attention. 
 
Coraline is also a playful ball of fun! She’s a big fan of laser pointers, mouse toys, and anything that’s got a bit of catnip or a string to chase. She loves to take rides on her foster grandma's walker and during the winter she will sit in front of the fireplace and stare at you until you turn on the heat for her to warm herself.
 
At 11 years old, Coraline is in great health and ready to find her forever home. Don't let her age fool you as she is still very active and still quick enough to terminate the poor mouse that dared enter our house!  She’s the perfect companion for someone who doesn't want a cuddly cat but wants a buddy to share their life with. She is not a big fan of dogs, other cats or small children as they are all too busy for her as she wants to be the Queen of the castle. Coraline was adopted from us previously but finds herself looking for another home as a result of her owner sadly passing away.

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.
