Story
She is approximately five years old and loves to be cuddled and pet. She was originally adopted through the Humane Society and the owners turned her loose. A neighbor of mine was feeding her for the past two years, but recently passed away. I took her into my home to try to find her a forever home. We are unable to keep her ourselves because my husband is allergic to cats. She would be perfect for an older person or someone who just wants a very loving companion. She has been spayed and all her shots are up-to-date.

Story
Chips & Queso are a bonded pair, both approximately 3 years old (born August 2023).  They're both dog and cat friendly.  They also get along with older kids (age 6+), but the younger kids are scary for them.  They might be a little shy around new people at first, but will warm up. They currently live with younger kids and seem scared.  Chips & Queso needs a quiet home where they'll get lots of love and attention.  Chips likes to be left alone sometimes, but will let you know when she wants attention.  Queso will soak up all the attention she can get! This is Queso.  They would love for you to consider adopting them.  If you're looking for two cats that are litter box trained and past the kitten stage, maybe this is the pair for you!!!  Who doesn't need a little Chips & Queso in their life?!   The suggested adoption donation for both Chips & Queso is $145, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Please Note:  A Courtesy Post designates that an animal is still in the home of its owner and not in a Muddy Paws foster. This means that our exposure to the animal is limited since we are only assisting the owner in finding a new home for their pet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue and there is a delay in removing them from our site. We apologize if the Courtesy Post you apply to adopt is unavailable for adoption. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases) during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months. To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc. ##2810956##

Story
Minnie (Mini) was the smallest of her litter. We took in her stray mom right before Christmas in 2022 and couldn't put her back outside because we found out she (Minnie's mom) was pregnant. Minnie loves a bunch of toys, especially yarn and laser pointers. Our foreign exchange student loved holding Minnie on her back, like a baby. We have personal/human health issues and cannot keep the remaining 2 cats.

Story
This gorgeous little girl showed up at a friend's house a couple months ago. She was very small then so she can't be more then 5 months old we belive. All she wants is love and he has been feeding her but works over the road and cannot care for her long term. She is very confident with people but not so much with other cats and dogs. Her coloring is a mix of calico, tortuous shell and tabby. All the orange on her is striped like the other colors could be wiped off and there'd just be a orange tabby cat sitting there. Iv never seen such a pretty patterning before. She loves people, warm beds and being the center of attention. Please let us know if you know anyone who can take this baby off the streets and give her a forever home.

Story
During the entire month of August, we will be having a Clear the Shelters event.This means half-price adoptions! Cats will be $50 and Dogs will be $75. Joanne is a female Calico kitty who is about 2 years old.This busy girl likes to stay informed on everything happening around her—from monitoring the view outside the window to conducting thorough inspections of closets, cupboards, and every corner of her kingdom. Of course, she also takes her scheduled naps very seriously.While Joanne has important feline business to attend to, she's happy to make time for her people. A good meal, a comfortable place to relax, and a human to share her day with are all high on her priority list. Independent yet affectionate, Joanne is looking for a home where she can be the capable manager of daily operations while enjoying the companionship she deserves.If you're searching for a cat with confidence, curiosity, and just the right amount of charm, Joanne is ready to take charge of your heart.She is described as 'The Executive'. I have to say, I'm a busy cat. First, I've got to check out what's happening out the window. Next, I'll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And then there are my naps--can't be late for those. I can fit a little socializing into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like kibbles.      It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction.All our animals have been spayed/neutered (or will be arranged if currently too young).Dogs will be tested for heart worms, vaccinated against distemper/parvo and rabies.Cats will be vaccinated against feline distemper and feline parvo, and have been wormed. All animals will be bathed and treated for fleas/ear mites. Microchipping will take place at the time of adoption.Adoption fees:Cats - $105 for one or only              $150 for two!Dogs - $155For more information on this animal contact washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713.For an application to adopt, go to:https://www.pawsandmorewashington.org/adoptIf you cannot currently adopt, donations are welcome and needed including financial help to sponsor this specific animal. If you cannot currently adopt, donations are ALWAYS welcome!!!Via our website:Secure Donate Now button at pawsandmorewashington.org Mailing address:PAWS and More1004 1/2 West Madison, Washington, IA 52353To Sponsor an animal:Emailwashingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comorCall 319-653-6713.Hours:Monday closedTuesday thru Sunday noon to 4 PMGet directions at:washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.com

Story
If you're looking for a cat with personality, look no further than Margot. This one-year-old calico has never met a stranger and believes everyone is a potential new best friend. She's curious, outgoing, and always has something to say, so be prepared for plenty of adorable conversations! Margot is FIV+, but that doesn't slow her down one bit. Cats with FIV can live long, normal lives, and Margot is proof that a diagnosis doesn't define a cat's spirit.
