Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Morelia had a rough start in life and was a mom cat herself fending for her and her babies. She was very timid and fearful but then they came into Amazing Strays. All her babies have now found forever homes. She does well with people once you earn her trust with yummy treats. She would do best in a quieter home with another cat and no dogs. She does fine with the older kids in the home. Morelia has always been on the shy, timid side. She does hide when uncomfortable. Once she's comfortable with you, she will jump up on the bed or sofa and ask for pets. She loves being petted! Then the biscuit making begins. Morelia will do best in a house with another cat about her age. She feels comfortable with one of my personal cats, and likes to hang out with her. She is an incredibly sweet cat who will need a very special person willing to give her lots of love and pets. Adoption fee for Morelia is $150 and  includes FVRCP vaccine, FIV/FELV testing, spay/neuter surgery, deworming, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate) and microchip. Please fill out our application HERE if you interested in meeting or adopting this cat and we will be in touch right away!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Meet Midnight Mama! This poor mama was pregnant and abandoned, when she was found as a stray trying to make friends with the local feral cats. After being an amazing mom to her litter of four kittens (all adopted), she made it known that she wanted the good life inside a home of her own. She is slightly shy with strangers but affectionate when she gets to know her people. She is now spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and given a round of flea prevention. This lil' Mama is ready to be pampered and loved for the rest of her life. Are you willing to give her the chance at the life she deserves? If so, please fill out an application HERE and we will contact you within the next couple of days. She is approximately 2 years old and her adoption fee is $150. She is also available for a two week trail period known as "Foster to Adopt". As with all cats it may take more than two weeks for her to feel comfortable with her new family.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 30, 2024, 10:51 am
