Catz Jazz Rescue assists as many unfortunate & abandoned cats as possible, while advocating the message of compassion towards animals and responsible pet ownership. Catz Jazz strives to be one of the best Austin cat rescue operations by providing comfort & care for each and every animal coming into our rescue with consideration of their individual situations. Our goal is to find life-long companions for the rescued cats in our care.
Read about Nicky: Nicky has a habit of licking and sucking on fingers/hands which is usually an indication that as a kitten he was taken away from his mommy much too young.
This can be endearing to some people and annoying to others though one needs to remember that it was most likely a person which caused this habit with him.
We picked up Nicky at the kill shelter where he had wound up though no one has a clue as to WHY for he is a REAL SWEETHEART and craves attention from people.
After our evalutation of him, we believe Nicky was most likely an only cat in his brief, previous home as he isn't too keen on other cats though we feel he would probably accept a loving home with one or two other cats with a bit of patience and understanding all around.
We also think Nicky would most likely be good with children as long as they are respectful of him and understand how to treat animals right. History with dogs is unknown.
This adorable brown and white tabby has a medium build, has a sweet temperment and if you give him a chance maybe he will charm you and make you fall in love with him before you even know what happened!
Nicky is hoping you might be the one!
Please be advised that interested adopters go through a careful screening process to include reference checks, telephone interviews, in-person interview and home visits. It is our responsibility to ensure that the kitty's adopting family will always be committed to taking care of the adopted animal not just during it's cute phases but during unpleasant situations as well - if and when health or behavior problems develop over time (and they may), and that the cat is not being adopted on an impulse or will be discarded if their human gets tired of them. We genuinely care about the lives we have saved and want our rescued cats to to end up in a great forever home… our mechanism of careful screening is there to increase the chances of this happening. Be prepared for a thorough interview and really be SURE that you are ready to make a lifetime commitment and to emotionally, physically and financially support a companion animal through rain or shine.

@ Lakeline PETsMART 11066 Pecan Park Blvd. Cedar Park, TX 78613 Please Follow Catz Jazz! Thank you for supporting us! All donations are tax-exempt. We are a registered 501(c) (3) charity recognized by the IRS. | Donate a Kuranda cat bed If you can't adopt Nicky, would you consider donating a Kuranda cat bed to him while he waits for his forever person to find him? Our rescued cats love to sleep on Kuranda cat beds because of their orthopedic comfort and we love them because they are stackable, allowing high perches for shy cats while increasing the amount of floor space, but due to our already constricted operating budget, we just don't have enough for everyone to sleep on. When you donate a Kuranda cat bed to us, you will give an Austin rescue cat a place to sleep in comfort and have a bed to dream on while they patiently wait for their forever home. We also gratefully accept donations of much-needed items from our Catz Jazz Wish List. Thank you so much for helping us out. Any donation, no matter how small is a big help and is greatly appreciated. |
A husband, father, brother, friend, and neighbor who lives in our community, is in dire need of our immediate help! At the beginning of July 2010, Chris Blankinship, a trusted and caring volunteer with Catz Jazz Rescue, was diagnosed with an Anaplastic Astrocytoma (grade III). This is a rare (about 4% of the population), life-threatening, rapidly-growing, malignant tumor. Due to the nature of this specific tumor and it's location, the only available treatment possibilities are very limited clinical trials (experimental treatments) for chemo and radiation treatment possibilities that will easily exceed the tens of thousands of dollars mark. We believe that with prayers, positive energy and strong willpower, and the financial help from compassionate supporters who are sympathetic to his plight, we can give Chris a chance to opt for those treatment possibilities, but time is of the essence! Any donation, no matter how small is a big help and is so greatly appreciated by his friends and family. We humbly ask for your support. Can you please help? Click here to Read Chris's story. |
