My story

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

Luna 

Hi there! I am Luna but my foster mom calls me LuLu. Last fall I was left in a shelter after my owners decided not to take me along when they moved away. I am not sure why this happened but I am hoping for a happy new start in a forever home soon!
 
I have big, round yellow eyes, a super soft grey coat and a cute little white spot on one side of my mouth. Like 40% of all cats I am polydactyl, with "thumbs" on my front feet that make me extra special. 
 
My foster mom's favorite thing about me is my little noises! She says my meow is half meow/half squeak, and that I coo like a dove. When I am really sleepy out I snore gently (don't worry its not loud!). I also purr A LOT - more than most adult cats - especially while eating. Speaking of eating, I am happiest being gently brushed or petted while I eat - that is how I like to be spoiled :)  I love my food so much that I purr and rub my face in the dry food bowl often. 
 
I am a bit shy and nervous after a rough year and take a little time warming up to new people and places. I promise I will begin to trust and open up to you if you are patient and let me come to you when I feel safe - it wont take too long. I am curious and like the company of humans, even if it doesn't seem like it immediately. You may find me wandering into a room with a "squeak" to remind you I'm there within a day or so. The first signs of affection I show are  rubbing against your legs and purring while you stand at the kitchen or bathroom counter. You'll know I am comfortable when I roll on my back on a bed or couch with my belly in the air. I might even scoot myself around in this position using my hind legs to get closer to you, which is absolutely adorable if I do say so myself. 
 
I am an exemplary litter-box user and have a healthy appetite, which you may have noticed by my plump figure. I like to play on my own with small plush toys like my new little mouse, and am working on exercising a bit more. I also like cardboard scratching posts! 
 
I can't wait to find my forever home, and I would be happiest in a quiet, calm environment. I could be the perfect companion to someone who may be lonely and looking for a sweet, affectionate cat to bring warmth and companionship to their home every day. We do not know if I have been around other animals before or not, but I might be okay in a home with gentle or older animals. 
 
Please reach out to ask questions or learn more about Luna. We are happy to share cute videos and even her bedtime theme song- ‘Bella Luna’ .

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteer

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.

More about this rescue

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.
