My story

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

Hi I’m Misha, a 5 month old, 5 pound tuxedo cat. I was wandering the streets of Annandale when I was  found by a nice lady  and came to Fancy Cats & Dogs to find my forever home. Right now, I’m very slim with a long tail. Cute fact: I have thumbs! It’s not an extra digit, it’s just that my thumbs are lower on my foot than normal. It’s so cute!

 

I’m very playful, curious and affectionate and bond quickly to the human who plays with me and feeds me. My favorite activity is playing with a wand toy with a fake mouse at the end (my foster mom says I can take it with me to my forever home). When I feel scared or shy, my favorite place to hide is under a bed, but I’ll quickly come out to play if the wand makes an appearance. After playing, I do enjoy some down time to recharge. I don’t love being picked up, but will tolerate it if necessary.

 

I’m getting to know my foster home’s three other cats and am deferential to older cats. I’m curious, respectful and easy about getting to know them.

 

I always use the litter box and sleep through the night. I rarely meow, preferring to chirp when I want your attention. I would love to find a home with someone who can give me daily play sessions and lots of petting. My foster mom says she’d adopt me in a second if she didn’t already have three cats!

 

Adoption fee: $200, includes all shots, sterilized, dewormed, 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.
