My story

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

Also known as Minty, this 7-month-old tuxedo girl is equal parts classy, sassy, and catnip-ball-obsessed.

Minty began her life as a tiny undercover operative, discovered at just 5 weeks old hiding beneath a friend’s air conditioner. (She says she was “gathering intel.” We suspect she was just small and adorable.) Thankfully, SARG rescued her from her covert mission and she’s been thriving ever since.

Minty is the social director of her foster home, welcoming every foster kitten like they’re entering summer camp. She plays, mentors, tolerates, and occasionally outruns them with the grace of a cat twice her size. The resident cats? Also approved. Minty believes all felines are potential friends and/or backup dancers.

Her absolute favorite possession is her catnip-filled ball—a toy she carries, chases, wrestles, and occasionally brags about. If there were cat-toy Olympics, Minty would bring home gold.

When she’s not busy supervising kittens or perfecting her athletic skills, Minty enjoys hanging out near her humans, offering moral support, and looking fabulous in her tuxedo attire.

If you’re searching for a playful, social, hilarious companion who will keep you entertained and your foster kittens humble, Minty is your girl.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Cat adoption fee is $150, 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.
