My story

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

Meet Sweet Tiny Ruth 

Ruth is a precious one-year-old Maine Coon mix with a petite frame and a huge heart. This tiny girl was left at a shelter and abandoned, but she hasn’t let that dim her loving spirit. She’s ready to leave her past behind and find a home where she feels safe, cherished, and truly cared for.

Ruth is very vocal and loves to “chat” with her people. She’ll happily tell you when she wants attention, when it’s time to play, or when she’s ready for cuddles. Her expressive personality makes her such a fun and engaging companion. 

She’s playful and enjoys interactive playtime, especially when she has a friend to share it with. With proper introductions, Ruth does well with other cats and would truly enjoy a sweet, playful feline companion.

When playtime winds down, Ruth transforms into a cuddly lap cat. She loves being held, petted, and close to her people, soaking up affection and reassurance. This tiny bundle of love is ready for a forever home where she can feel secure, adored, and part of the family.

If you’re looking for a petite, talkative love bug with a playful spark, Ruth is ready to fill your home with purrs, conversation, and cuddles.

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.
