Adoption Fee $100 plus tax

Don't let her spicy name fool you! Jalapeño is a very sweet, active and playful little house panther!  She is great with other cats and an endless source of entertainment.  Jalapeño and her siblings were not well socialized when they were young, at the time she was fixed MARS made the decision to have her ear clipped in case she was unable to adjust to indoor life.  She has ended up a happy indoor kitty.  She is social with other cats, and loves to play.  She also has come a long way with people.  She loves affection on her own terms.  She cuddles with her foster at night and seeks out petting- however she won't let you pick her up, and she will often startle and run if you approach her while she is tending to important panther business.  She will be happiest with another playful and confident cat. 

 * Kittens under 4 months tend to do best in homes with another cat or kitten for socialization.

 If you have previously applied with us please email placement@midwestanimalrescue.org to reactivate your application with new interest.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. 

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS.  We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance.  Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
