My story

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

Allow us to introduce you to Raptor! Raptor was the only girl in her litter of 4, and when you look at that stunning face you just know she's the princess of the group. She looks like how we imagine Walt Disney would draw a cat, with her big eyes and long whiskers. She is also the smallest of her crew, and will likely grow up to be a pretty petite cat, but she does not let that stand in her way when it comes to playtime! She loves chasing string toys, feathers, toy mice, balls... she'd probably play with a piece of trash if she found some. But it's not all just fun and games - snuggle time is very important to her. She loves laying in the cat tree, especially when the sun is shining on it, and pets, scratches, and belly rubs are very important to her daily routine!



Raptor spent the first 5-6 weeks of her life living under a shed with her mama and siblings, but she settled into indoor-only life very quickly and instinctively knew how to use the litter box on day 1. Now that she's an inside kitty, she can't imagine having to live in the cold and dirty outside. She is still a little nervous around new people, but now that she trusts her foster mom she is incredibly loving and wants all the attention she can get! She's very affectionate, follows you around for pets, and will give you the biggest purrs, especially for her daily morning ritual of snuggle time on the sofa. 



Raptor loves other cats, doesn't mind the resident dog, and would do best in a home with another kitty to be her friend. If you've fallen in love with her sweet face but don't have any other cats at home, consider checking out her brother Indo! Young kittens do best when they have other young cats around to play with and learn important socialization skills (search online for "single kitten syndrome"). She is spayed, combo tested for FIV/FeLV (negative), microchipped, and finished with her kitten vaccines.



If interested in adopting Raptor, please submit an online adoption application and an adoption coordinator will contact you.

Additional adoption info

Prior to adoption, every CARE cat/kitten has received a thorough exam from a veterinarian, has tested negative for FIV/Felv (except as otherwise noted), been spayed/neutered if old enough, microchipped, dewormed, given flea preventative, and been inoculated against distemper. Rabies vaccine is given if the feline is over 4 months. Any other desirable medical attention has also been provided. Also, each cat/kitten has spent its rescued time in a private home in foster care being loved and assessed for temperament and personality, needs, likes and dislikes.

After your approval by our volunteers, a legal contract is signed with an adoption donation attached (this donation helps defray the medical costs incurred).
The adoption fee is a Donation.
