My story

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

Brigid is a sweet, gentle, shy girl that loves to be held! She has a cute little white line that goes from her mouth to her neck; it looks like milk dripped down her chin. She enjoys watching squirrels play outside the window, watching you play video games, and even watching videos of herself playing! She loves wand toys, laser pointers, and little plastic spirals.
She plays well independently but prefers for her human to be involved.

 

Brigid likes when you pet her head and give her little scritches on her back near her tail. Sometimes when you are laying down, she will jump onto your side and take a nap. She will also come sit on your lap, or squeeze between your legs when you kneel down.


Brigid has excellent litter box habits and always uses her scratching post. Because she loves to be in your arms, it's not difficult to trim her claws. Brigid might be a little jumpy at first and watch your every move, but if you approach her slowly, you will quickly earn
her trust. She is very easygoing and mellow; she does not like roughhousing and would do well with another mellow, calm, playful cat.

 

Please note it is Fancy Cats' policy that kittens have an age-appropriate playmate in the home. We also do not adopt kittens to families with children under six years old without seeing appropriate history/experience with cats.

 

Adoption fee: $250, includes 1 st  FVRCP, deworming, deflea, microchip

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.
