My story

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

Trash Cat has done it We've found the one orange cat that seems to have a few brain cells! If you’ve wanted an orange cat that be a little smart, you need to meet Sunbeam!

Sunbeam is a sweet, shy-at-first, but ultimately friendly young man who has a beautiful, thick orange coat that he loves having groomed. He enjoys brushes, as well as scratches, especially down his back and under his chin. He often enjoys it so much that he purrs excessively loudly and begins to drool. Sunbeam is still unsure about most toys and prefers to watch others play, but he does get excited by wands, catnip, and laser pointers. He’s pretty content lying in a soft bed that allows him some privacy and a nice window so he can people watch from a distance. He requested a home with no cleaning items (especially the mean sweeper!) or trash cans/bag, as he’s a scaredy cat, but he’ll let it slide if it means you’ll give him a snack after. The way to win Sunbeam over is with wet food and Churus, which helps him build trust in new people.

Sunbeam takes a while to get used to new environments and people, and he would do best initially in a small setting like one specific room where he can get used to his patient caregivers before spending time in the entire home. He is friendly with all cats but tends to be quite passive around his feline friends. He would really benefit from another playful, gentle friend to show him the ropes and encourage his comfort in a new home. While Sunbeam will take a some time to adjust to a home, he clearly longs to have a couch and caregiver to lounge with. He’d likely prefer a calm, relaxing environment with respectful adults and kiddos.

Sunbeam is estimated to be almost three years old. He is neutered, flea treated, dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Please apply for this orange anomaly 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.
