At just nine months old, she is the perfect blend of kitten playfulness and young adult affection. This sweet girl is: Loving and affectionate Playful and curious Very friendly and enjoys being around people Basbousa adores attention, interactive play, and will happily charm her way into your heart (and your lap!). She would make a wonderful companion for a family or individual looking for a friendly, engaging, and elegant feline friend. If you’re looking for a cat who combines beauty, grace, and a warm, loving nature — Basbousa may be your perfect match. Message us to learn more about adopting Basbousa and giving her the forever home she deserves. All of our cats for adoption are sterilized, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas/worms, are negative for FIV/FELV, have a registered microchip, and come with their travel crate.  Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Potential adopters for our Persian cats need to have prior Persian cat experience as they need to be well cared for.  Grooming, dental, and veterinarian exams are done once a year, and a good quality brand of cat food such as Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, or Purina Pro plan is the upper tier level with a black label. We are a rescue and get what we get in terms of cats in need of a home. In no way do we work with breeders or buy the cats from the Friday markets so we can put them up for adoption as a rescue. https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/11596/generic Native Mau Cats of Egypt are the oldest known descendants of Egyptian domesticated cats (which have provided a partial foundation for the recent Egyptian Mau cat breed), and they are one of only a few naturally occurring, small, spotted cats in the world. Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and by an approved application.   NVEcats aims to increase education in Egypt and around the world about these magnificent and intelligent cats. Cats and kittens are not adopted out on a “first-come, first-serve” basis. We choose to match our applicants and cats based on what we deem as best suited for that particular cat or kitten. ##2619169##

Story
Meet Kevin, a six-month-old orange tabby with eyes that perfectly match his gorgeous orange coat. He came to us as a stray, but you would never guess it based on his incredible personality. He was a little unsure the first day in his foster home, but once he realized he was safe, his true self came shining through — and what a sweetheart he is! He really is a “Kevin”…but not like Kevin McCallister — because this Kevin definitely does not like being home alone. He’s a true companion who wants to be wherever you are. Whether you’re lounging on the couch, moving around the house, or settling in for the night, Kevin is right there, ready to hang out and soak up the love. He enjoys being picked up, happily cuddles in close, and has a wonderful purr that lets you know just how content he is. He loves to play, is always up for a tasty bite of chicken, and has already claimed his favorite cozy spot on the couch. Kevin absolutely loves other cats so he must be adopted to a home with his foster sister, Carmen (brown & white tabby), or with another young kitty. He is a little apprehensive around his foster’s dog, but he’s also very curious and interested in her. We believe with a little time and patience, he’ll adjust. From stray beginnings to a certified cuddle bug, Kevin is ready to find a furever home where he’ll never have to be alone again. His adoption fee is $275 and Kevin is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and neutered. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
Meet Carmen, a five-month-old bundle of sweetness wrapped up in the cutest little package. She started her journey as a stray, but you would never know it from her incredibly affectionate and trusting nature. From the moment she walked into her foster home, she made herself right at home. She was a sweetheart from day one and has been soaking up love ever since. She’s the kind of kitten who will happily curl up and cuddle anywhere you choose to sit — couch, bed, chair…if you’re there, she’s there. And when she starts purring? It’s like a car without a muffler — loud, proud, and absolutely adorable! Carmen greets you the second you walk into the room, ready to shower you with affection. She loves to play and is incredibly agile, showing off her impressive kitten acrobatics during playtime. Whether she’s chasing toys, zooming around, or snuggling in close, she brings constant joy and warmth. This sweet girl truly loves everyone she meets — she’s wonderful with kids, great with other cats, and is perfectly fine with dogs. Her easygoing, social personality makes her a fantastic fit for a variety of loving homes. Because Carmen is an energetic kitten, she must be adopted into a home with another young kitty to play, bond, and grow up with. She thrives on companionship and will do best with a feline friend by her side. Her adoption fee is $275 and Carmen is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

My name's Sandi and I'm an absolute princess! I like attention when I'm in the mood for it, but otherwise like to do my own thing. I love to play with toys and get my fur brushed. Scratches above my tail are my favorite and sometimes I'll even talk with you!

I'm Sasha and I'm looking for a quiet home with patient people. I'm very shy at first, but once I'm comfortable, I'll gladly approach you for attention, but especially to play! I LOVE toys and like to carry them around in my mouth. I don't like being held, but I still have a lot of love to give!
