My story

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

Hi!  My name is Smudge and I was rescued from the local shelter with my brother.  I am UTD on vaccines & neutered. I am pretty relaxed & laidback (for a kitten), even enjoying when the resident toddler covers me in a snuggly blanket & puts a pillow under my head during nap time.

My favorite toys are coil springs, fuzzy catnip mice & bouncy wands, as well as wrestling with the resident kitten. I also like to play with the crazy circle cat toy, but only when it is upside down (gotta be a challenge ;) ). 

I’m not too fond of being picked up to cuddle, but I do love gentle pets, which sets my loud purr motor running.  Food is a great motivator for me - I will take treats out of your hand & rub all over your legs when it is time for wet food to be served. 

I wouldn't mind getting adopted into a home with other animals, since I get along with other cats & dogs (as long as there's proper introductions).

P.S. My foster Mommy thinks I may have a little Russian Blue in me, which just heightens my cuteness. :)

If you are interested in having me become your newest family member, please contact my foster Mom via email (lauralye2277@hotmail.com) or send her a text at 813-460-6518 after completing an adoption inquiry.

Their adoption process

Submit an adoption inquiry using the form on our website. A link is provided further down the page.

2.

Adoptions are not complete until an adoption contract has been signed and the adoption fee paid.

Additional adoption info

Before you adopt...ask yourself if you are ready for a 15+ year commitment.

As a non-profit, we charge a nominal fee for all adoptions (see our current adoption fees). In exchange for your adoption fee, all animals:

• Are spayed/neutered
• Are fully vaccinated based on age/weight at the time of adoption
• Have received a medical exam
• Are microchipped
• Dewormed (With kittens this will need to be repeated)
• All cats 8+ months of age are tested at the time of entry for FIV and FeLV and will be specified if negative or positive in the medical as well as the description. (Please note that FIV and FeLV testing at the time of entry does not guarantee the cats will be free of the disease.)
• Dogs are tested for heart worms

Most importantly, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you helped re-home an animal that needs the love and care only you can provide.

Adoption Requirements
All Rebel Rescue adopters must be 21 years or older, currently employed, live in a house, condo, or apartment where cats and dogs are welcome, and have telephone or cell phone service. We require that all the members of the household agree to the adoption—which includes family, roommates, and especially children.

Please Note: Submitting an inquiry for a specific animal does NOT guarantee a hold of that animal, until our adoption counselor is able to speak with you in person or over the phone. We will do our best to facilitate a swift process.

More about this rescue

Rebels Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)3 animal rescue dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets in Hillsborough County and the Greater Tampa Bay area. Our goal is to end unnecessary euthanasia by placing the most at-risk pets from local shelters and the community into our foster homes where they will receive the love, attention and care they deserve while they await adoption. All pets receive appropriate vet care in addition to being spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
