My story

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

Laverne is an adorable, energetic and sweet kitten who came to Fancy Cats within days of her October birth from a crowded shelter.  Her mom is Tolkein and her siblings are Shirley, Lenny and Squiggy.

 

Laverne is a quiet young lady – when she meows, only a tiny squeak comes out.  Laverne is very friendly and the “bravest” of her siblings.  She is the first kitten to climb new heights, tackle stairs and run around the foster’s house. Laverne is too busy being a typical kitten to be carried around but loves to climb into a nearby lap when she needs to take a rest from chasing her siblings.  Laverne is very interested in toys and shiny objects.  She’s athletic and loves to climb the cat tree.

 

Laverne is healthy, uses her litter box faithfully and is learning to use her scratching post…..however, she is still a baby and will need oversight and reinforcement to keep these good house manners.  Laverne has met her foster home’s resident dog and cat – she was very curious and would likely do fine in a home with other pets as long as an appropriate introduction protocol is followed.  Laverne loves food and is always ready for mealtime.  Laverne has a fluffy black and white coat – it’s too early to tell how long her hair will be but it’s likely that she’ll have medium or long hair so her new family should be prepared to brush her regularly to keep her looking gorgeous.    

 

Please note it is Fancy Cats' policy that kittens have an age-appropriate playmate in the home. We also do not adopt kittens to families with children under six years old without seeing appropriate history/experience with cats.

 

Adoption fee: $250, includes 1 st  FVRCP, deworming, 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.
