My story

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

Malachi is a sweet shy guy! We call him the watcher in his foster home cause he loves to be close watching the action but doesn’t participate. Malachi will need a patient & understanding adopter that will take their time gaining his trust because loud sounds & fast movements still scare him. He is unsure how to ask you for attention but if you find him relaxing he loves ear, chin & butt scratches, which he does a cute little stretch for. When he becomes more comfortable he will purr & make biscuits.

Malachi’s hobbies include sitting high up in a cat tree to watch the happenings in his home, napping in a soft warm bed, getting brushed, being handsome, hanging out with his buddy Suomi & eating treats. He will even eat Temptations or a Churu from your hand. His favorite toys are stuffed mice & a rubber centipede that his foster family bought for him at petco. He would love to be adopted with his friend Suomi because they are being fostered together or another friendly cat who likes to cuddle. Malachi would most likely do well with a relaxed dog after a slow, proper introduction but small children would scare him.

Malachi is estimated to be about 1.5 years old. He is neutered, microchipped, flea treated, vaccinated, dewormed, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Are you looking for a sweet by shy pal? (And his BFF?) Consider Malachi (and Suomi!)

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.
