My story

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

Surrey is between two to three years old and like many cats has had a tough start to life.

Abandoned sometime early in her life she lived the hard life of a stray, fending for herself as best she could.

Surrey was trapped and taken off the streets with a severe upper respitory infection where she also tested positive for Leukemia.
Surreys rescuer nursed her back to health from her URI infections but had to keep her in a cage due to the potential risk of infection to the non leukemia cats

Surrey spent 4 months in a cage before she was able to go to a home with another leukemia cat.

On her first night Surrey escaped her room and has a real zest for life. Surrey doesn't do boundaries and loves to play and cuddle and is a little Firecracker with a heavy dose of jalapeños thrown in.

From savaging paper roll towels to not being afraid of the vacuum cleaner and everything in-between Surrey is an amazing little girl who won't let her tough start to life hold her back.

Surrey is is now ready for the last part of her recovery story. Her forever family.

If you feel Surrey would be a good addition to your family please reach out.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our fees are $50-$150 depending of the age of the kitty and the amount of vetting. Most of our adult kitties are $50, most of our kittens are $125-$150, which includes all shots, microchip and spay/neuter.

We will send you an application, once approved, we will schedule a playdate with the animal. We do require a home visit. The animal then goes on trial for a couple weeks to a month. We want to make sure the animal is a good fit for your family. Even after the trial period if you can not keep the animal at anytime we will take them back into our program.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster home based rescued. Therefore, the majority of our animals are in peoples homes. This is perfect for adopters who have very specific needs on the animal they adopt. We know our animals well, and what types of homes we feel they will thrive best.

More about this rescue

We specialize in healthy, fiv+ kitties. But do have other kitties in our program as well. Fiv is an immune deficiency which kitties get from fighting. Usually unneutered males fighting for territory, food sources and females. Once fixed and loved and fed daily the need to fight for these things disappears. Most of our fiv+ kitties are fostered with other non fiv kitties, and proven to be friendly.

There are lots of myths and misinformation about fiv. To simply it, an fiv kitty is a kitty with a lower immune system. If they get hurt or sick it could take them longer to heal. Fiv does not cause disease, it is a secondary issue of how your kitty will react to primary issue. Most fiv kitties die from geriatric issues without any more vet care than other kitties.
