My story

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

Hickory is a sweet little soul with a heart as soft as his fur. This darling boy may be a bit shy at first, but once he feels safe, his gentle, affectionate nature shines through. He’s the definition of a “sweet pea”—cautiously optimistic, endlessly loving, and happiest when snuggled right up on top of you. His foster mom says she can see just how much he needed to be loved—and now that he’s found comfort, he gives that love back tenfold.



Because Hickory is still young, he’ll need a feline friend in his forever home to keep him company and help build his confidence. He gets along beautifully with his foster sister, Turtle, and he would really love to be adopted with her!  He’d likely do well with other gentle pets too, as his kind, easygoing spirit helps him fit right in.



When it’s playtime, Hickory lights up! He loves all the cat toys—except the extra crinkly ones, which can startle him a bit. Otherwise, he’s a playful, curious little explorer who delights in batting, pouncing, and chasing. Fast or loud movements can still make him a little nervous, but with patience and a calm home, he blossoms into the sweetest cuddlebug.



Hickory is a love bug through and through—he adores pets, cuddles, and all the affection you can offer. He’s even a bit of a “finger nibbler,” which his foster mom says is his silly way of asking for more attention (“Please pet me more!”). Hickory’s mix of tenderness and playfulness makes him a truly special kitten who will bring warmth, sweetness, and devotion to any home lucky enough to have him.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in Forever Fortunate Felines.  We are very happy to have the opportunity to match you with your purr-fect cat-panion!

Once you complete the online application using the below link, you will be able to discuss and ask questions directly to the foster parent.  We believe this is a big advantage to you as our organization is completely foster based, we really understand our cats personalities at a deep level.  This helps to ensure a great match with you and your family.

In order to get the process going, would you kindly fill out our detailed online application located here: 
http://www.foreverfortunatefelines.org/adopt

Completing our online application does not commit you to adopt from our rescue.  Rather it helps us to understand your requirements and match you with the best possible cat or kitten.

Once you complete the application and it is approved, we can set up a meet and greet and if all works out, you may bring the kittens or cats home the same day.  Please make sure to bring an adequately sized pet carrier with you to your meet and greet.  We recommend a pet carrier which opens from the top as this is the easiest way to place a cat inside a carrier.  If you do decide to adopt, we do expect you to take home your cat the same day as there are so many cats and kittens which need to be rescued from high kill shelters, we almost always rescue a new cat or kitten the very next day.  If it is not possible for you to take your cat or kitten home the same day, we do charge a boarding fee of $10 per day for supplies and to encourage you to take your newly adopted cat home.  We will board for a maximum of 3 days if needed to allow you time to get needed supplies.

Our adoption fees are listed at the link below. This fee includes full vetting, flea treatment, de-worming, spay surgery, FeLV and FIV test, microchip insertion, and vaccinations up to date for the kittens or cats age.  We are able to PayPal or most major credit cards for the adoption fee.

We have streamlined our adoption process to make it easy!  Everything from the application, to payment, to the contract is online.  Additionally, all of the cats records will be placed in your free Petlovers account at petstablished.com to keep organized.

With Warm Regards,
