Hello, my name is: Katarina Approx. DOB: 04/01/2025 Weight: 5.2 lbs Sex/breed: Spayed female domestic shorthair Rescued from: Hoarding case
A few weeks ago, we brought 27 cats into our care from a profoundly sad hoarding situation. These beautiful souls once had a loving owner who struggled with their own mental health. When that owner passed away, the entire feline family was left alone to fend for themselves until help arrived.
Thanks to the generosity of our rescue friends who transferred many of the cats into their own programs, we have 12 remaining in our care. The cats are split among several foster families, who are working slowly and diligently to help them trust again.
Introducing the first three of the 12: Patrick (tuxedo), Cameron (brown tabby), and Katarina (cow spots).
Patrick is the little confidence booster of the group. He`ll arch his back in a sweet, flirty request for scratches from his foster mom. He has a loud purr that shows how relieved he is to have love in his life again.
Cameron is the shyest and needs quiet encouragement to engage. He allows gentle handling, which is a huge step for a sweet, scaredy boy.
Katarina is a very watchful kitten and skittish about touch. Her curiosity is starting to win over her hesitation, though! She`s recently started tentatively playing with string toys when her foster mom dangles them around.
These sweet kitties thrive in the company of other cats and would do best in quiet homes. Despite the conditions they came from, they use the litter box and scratching posts faithfully. They can go home in pairs or as singles to homes with at least one other friendly feline.
They need patient, gentle adopters who are committed to continuing the slow, loving work of socialization. The reward of watching a shy cat like these finally choose to trust you is truly unparalleled.
Are you ready to offer one, two, or even three of these resilient survivors a peaceful, forever home?
All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Interested in adopting?

We do our best to keep the adoption process straight-forward and simple in an effort to get our available pets into a permanent, stable and loving home in a timely manner. You will be asked to fill out an adoption application giving All 4 Paws Rescue information about yourself, your family and your experience with pets. We will ask for your vet (if you have/had a pet) and landlord/property manager information (if applicable), along with 3 personal references. Be sure to include what you are looking for in your new pet as it helps us with the matchmaking process! It generally takes our team about 3-5 days to complete an application. This timing may vary based on how quickly and easily your references are reached and how many applications are pending at that time. Please give all of your references a heads up to help us speed things along. Our goal is to find our animals the best possible home and if multiple applications are received, All 4 Paws Rescue will make the decision as to which home would be best for that particular pet.
When an adoption does not work out, it is an unpleasant experience for the pet and the adoptive family and can make placing the returned animal more difficult in the future. For this reason, we reserve the right to refuse any adoption that we feel is not in the best interest of the animal and/or the adoptive family. A refusal is not a judgement of the applicant, but instead represents our assessment that a particular pet might not do well in the environment offered based on our years of experience arranging successful adoptions. It is our goal to make the best possible placement for every animal and adopter.
PLEASE NOTE :
**We DO require that ALL dogs and cats in your household are spayed or neutered, kept up-to-date on vaccines and that they are seen annually for a check-up.
**We do NOT require a fenced in yard unless otherwise noted for a specific pet.
**We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed before or after adopting.
**We do NOT have restrictions regarding children in an adoptive household unless otherwise noted for a specific pet.
**We do NOT SHIP animals. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets and live outside of our area, you will be required to come meet and adopt the animal in person if your application is approved.
**We do NOT hold animals.
**We do NOT adopt to anyone under 21 years old.
**ALL APPLICANTS MUST GO THROUGH OUR ENTIRE ADOPTION APPLICATION PROCESS - WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
DOG ADOPTION FEES
Our adoption fee for dogs is $450+tax - that includes a wellness exam, all age appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing when age appropriate, heartworm treatment if necessary, worming, microchip and registration, flea/tick treatment. PLEASE NOTE - we do offer discounted adoption fees to families adopting more than one dog, senior dogs and dogs with special needs when possible.
Regarding our adoption fee: We are often asked, "Why do you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a "good home"?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL of our rescued animals, not just the one they are adopting. A young, healthy dog might cost us $250-$400 in (discounted) vet care to prepare it for adoption, and many people will want to adopt that dog. An older dog or a special needs dog or a dog with health issues can easily cost us $500-$2,000 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care to prepare such a dog for adoption. Yet for a senior dog or a special needs dog, we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others who need us. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you are willing to help us offer a better life to ALL of our animals by supporting them through our adoption fees. Without these adoption fees, we would not be able to save the lives that we save.
CAT ADOPTION FEES
Our adoption fees for cats and kittens is $150+tax cat/kitten. Our cats/kittens have received all age appropriate vaccines; spay/neuter surgery, FIV/FELV testing, worming, microchip and registration, and flea/tick treatment.
