My story

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

Meet Phelgm!

Phlegm was rescued from the cold, wet outdoors with bad teeth and a wounded leg, possibly due to an animal bite. In true Trash Cat fashion, she was named due to the severe congestion she had at the time of her intake.

Phlegm enjoys her creature comforts. She loves a cozy bed, regular mealtimes (with a grain free, salmon based diet due to some skin sensitivities), a Churu (or two, or three), and a calm, quiet home. Phlegm will wiggle her tail in anticipation of her feedings, and she will impatiently wait near her food to remind you it is TIME TO EAT. She does enjoy head and chin scritches and will tolerate petting along her back. Phlegm has noticeable sensitivity along her spine, and if you are too forceful she will let you know by closing her mouth on your hand. She needs to live with adults or possibly older children who can respect her boundaries and notice her cues.

Phlegm isn’t quite a lap cat but she does enjoy sitting near her humans and doesn’t mind being picked up and held. She is low energy, and while she doesn’t live directly with other fosters, she seems interested in the other cats she sees. Phlegm is FIV+ and will need an adopter who can monitor her health and take her to the vet for regular appointments. While she can live with FIV- cats, she is submissive and passive and would likely not tolerate an overactive/very dominant sibling.

Phlegm is estimated to be at least 6.5 years old. She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and flea treated. She tested FIV+/FeLV-. She had a dental and mass removed from her leg/biopsied while here at TCR. If you are looking for a peaceful companion who wants to enjoy the finer things with you, adopt Phlegm!

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.
