My story

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

Meet Orion & Astrid, a celestial duo 

Orion and Astrid are a beautiful bonded, brother-sister pair of black kittens who were rescued from Baltimore at around 4-5weeks old. Now at about 12 weeks(estimated), these two are bursting with personality and love, and are the perfect mix of high-energy playfulness and heart-melting affection.

With their white chest markings, they look like  2 miniature crescent  moon bears. Orion (boy) has the more flashy fashion, with a big, irresistible white heart closer to his tummy, white go-go hind booties, and little strips of white toes in his front paws. Astrid(girl) prefers the more demure, minimalist look, complete with adorable black toe beans and darling black whiskers to match.

They are fantastic around little kids and everyday chaos. Both kittens are very social and affectionate.Their extra-loud, rumbling purrs start up the moment they’re picked up. 

They love to zoom, wrestle, and explore together, then come naptime, they will come snuggle on top of you, creating a cuddle pile vibrating with contentment.

Orion is curious and confident, always ready to investigate something new, while Astrid is equally energetic with a sweet, snuggly side that shines through quickly. Together, they keep each other entertained, confident, and happy.

If you’re looking for double the fun, double the affection, nonstop purrs, and kittens who fit right into a busy family life, Orion and Astrid are ready to steal your heart.

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.
