My story

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

Introducing a classic Thanksgiving side, but one that is often overlooked - Yams! Yam and his siblings came to TCR after they were found as strays outdoors.

Yam is a sweet and playful kitten, who is a little more reserved than his siblings. He loves to play and wrestle, but he also likes his personal space and quiet time away from everyone. Yam can often be found snoozing at the very tippy top of the cat tree, where he can find some peace and quiet!

Yam is a little slower to warm up to humans, and he would appreciate an adopter who can give him the space and time to come out of his shell. He would especially love to go home with a sibling, who could help him adjust. Yam is learning that humans are safe by watching his affectionate siblings get snuggles! He hasn’t met dogs or kids, but he may prefer a home without, or with older, respectful kids or dogs.

Yam is almost four months old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative. Bring home this sweet and underrated side (with a sibling?) today!

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.
