My story

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

Suomi, pronounced “sue-me” is the Finnish word for Finland. Does he speak Finnish or is he from Finland?? You’ll have to adopt him to find out!

This reserved guy has made huge improvements in his foster home & has decided that being feral is in the past. He will still need someone who will take their time & give him space to decompress. When he becomes more comfortable, instead of hiding in the back of his cat tree he will follow you around for pets & wait at the door for you to come home! He loves soft pets under his chin, behind his ears & down his back, maybe even a little scratch at the base of his tail! He is clear with his boundaries & will either back up or mildly hiss to show he’s uncomfortable- but when you gain his trust he rewards you with a soft quiet purr!

Suomi enjoys being your shadow, eating wet food, smacking around stuffed mice & cuddling with his foster brother, Malachi. Churu treats are his favorite & would be a great way to become his buddy. He is truly a cat’s cat & would do best being adopted with his foster friend, Malachi, or with another friendly cat that loves to play fight & cuddle. Young children would most likely scare him but could possibly be okay with a calm dog that mostly leaves him alone after slow, proper introductions.

Suomi is estimated to be at least 3.5 years old. He is neutered, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Do you have the time/patience (and enough love in your heart) to take on a project kitty (and his BFF?). Consider Suomi (and Malachi?) today!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Typically we talk a little with potential adopters to find a cat who is a good fit before sharing the application.

2.

Approve Application

We check over the application including checking vet references and doing landlord checks.

3.

Interview

We spend more time chatting with the adopters to specifically go over any questions from the application and details about the specific cat.

4.

Meet the Pet

Potential adopters have a meet and greet with the cat or kitten in the foster home.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

At the meet and greet, if all goes well, the adoption contract can be signed, the fee can be paid, and the pet can go home!

6.

Pay Fee

7.

Take the Pet Home

Additional adoption info

We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

More about this rescue

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.

Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
