My story

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

Cleopatra - DSH Tortishell Calico female, ~ 2-3 yr. (August 2025)
Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application
Cleopatra came to rescue when found as a stray by a small rural town Humane Society volunteer. Here is what her foster mom tells us about her!
"Meet Cleopatra – A One-of-a-Kind Tortie Beauty �� This gorgeous tortie girl has the most beautiful, unique features that make her truly stand out.

She’s also very vocal and loves to “chat” with you — especially when it’s mealtime! She will happily sit by her food dish and call out to let you know she’s ready to eat. She’s incredibly sweet and affectionate with adults, enjoying companionship and attention.

Cleopatra would do best in a quiet home without young children, as she can be a little uneasy around them. She also prefers to be the only pet in the home — she loves her humans but isn’t a fan of other animals.

She does have a sensitive stomach and has been diagnosed with IBS, so she needs a family willing to be mindful of her diet and the medication she needs. Certain foods can upset her tummy more than others, but with the right diet, she does very well. Her originally family who rescued her and fell in love, ultimately adopting her unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control, cannot keep her.

She deserves a loving, stable family who will give her the care and companionship she thrives on. If you’re looking for a sweet, talkative, and stunning companion to share your home with — and you can give her the special care she needs — this tortie beauty may just be your perfect match."

Cleopatra's adoption fee is $150 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Include your location and a phone number for future communication.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Please request an application via email. Please allow 24 hours for a response.

2.

Approve Application

Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we will contact you to arrange a meeting with our pets.

3.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

Visit our pets at a Meet and Greet adoption event. Approved adopters will be able to adopt that day.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

We will review the medical records and contract. The adoption fee is cash only.

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to request an application from rescuebc@hotmail.com. Please allow 1-2 days to receive the application. Please be patient as we are 100% volunteer supported. We will need several days to make the calls on your application. The current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and annual exams, and currently on heartworm preventative for dogs. You must be 21 years of age and gainfully employed.
Once you are approved, a volunteer will contact you and invite you to a Meet and Greet to visit with a pet. All our pets are fostered in private homes and only come to the event when they have a potential adopter.
Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the Meet and Greet. It takes time to unload our pets and give them an opportunity to relieve themselves. You will have time to visit with a pet to decide if this is the right pet for your family. You will be required to sign a legal contract and we will go over the medical records with you. You will be required to take your new pet to the vet within 7 days of adopting.
We charge an adoption fee for all of our animals. This fee varies depending on the vetting requirements of that particular animal. The adoption fee is cash only.
If you have any questions, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com.
