Story
Zak Loki was born about       and is a good sized kitty.  Zac is shy of humans at first, but once he gets to know you he is a love!  He will purr, meow, and rub up against your legs when he's like some attention.  Zak's coat is luxuriously thick and shiny and looks like a miniature Panther.  He is truly gorgeous and is very good about using his litter box.  When Zak moves into a new home his humans will need to be patient as it may take awhile....a week, two, maybe a month to truly settle in and let his true personality shine through an that it will do!!!  If a kitty hides when in a new location the litter box, food and water should be put nearby and when they are ready to explore they will come out and these things can be moved to a more desirable location at that time.   The adoption fee for Zac Loki is $50.00,  This is reduced due to his initial shyness. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime.   All kittens/cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and treated for fleas.

Story
We are SOOOO lucky!Igor was born around May 23, 2018  Igor came to us as a feral teen kitten who was passed the point where he could easily become friendly.  For this reason Igor lives as an outdoor/indoor garage and heated basement kitty at the main location of Joyful Rescues. He is one of several sanctuary kitties here that live the best life possible for them.  We cannot touch him, but as you can see he is well fed.  lol!  Our sanctuary kitties are welcome to live here the remainder of their lives unless a suitable home or decent barn environment becomes interested in them.  There is no adoption fee for this kitty.   Igor is neutered, was vaccinated, and flea treated as needed.

Story
I'm One of the Sanctuary Cats.Bobbie Tail was born about September 6, 2012 and came with kittens.  Her kittens grew into wonderful youngsters, but Bobbie never did become social so she is a Joyful Rescues sanctuary kitty.  Our sanctuary kitties have cat doors open 24/7 for them to enjoy the outside, as they are all unfriendly to humans, then go through the garage into the basement where it never gets below 60 degrees.  They are all spayed/neutered and vaccinated on intake and if we can catch them at all we do update the rabies when due.  They are welcome to live out their lives here or if ever an appropriate home comes along such as a nice horse barn that needs a cat or two we would/have let them be adopted.  We started our own TNR type program here in 2016 and have only lost one cat to very old age.  All others have found barn homes or have been here fat and happy living the best life for them.

Story
Mean Jean appears to be a young adult kitty that showed up at the home of one of our volunteers so she came to visit us and find a new home.  Well, as she became comfortable it seems her true personality was coming out and I guess you know what this is judging by her name!  Jean is fine with humans as long as you don't try to pick her up.  She'll rub on your legs and she will sit nearby and snooze or interact with you.  Jean was removed from our multi cat Cat House for roughness violations.  So, she lives in the basement of the main house at Joyful Rescues.  Actually, the feral/non adoptable kitties that live in the basement have access to a cat door that goes into the attached garage and then there is a cat door that goes outside.  We are well aware that it is dangerous for a cat to be let outside, but like could be much worse for these special cats as they have warmth and sustenance. At this time there are 8 other cats in this multi-layer environment, and she is fine with them as there is a lot of room for anyone to be wherever they choose.  Jean would also do fine in a decent barn environment, warehouse, etc.  She is fine with all the other dogs she meets outside.  She has been very healthy and goes potty outside and in the litter pan downstairs.  She's a great cat for the right environment. There is no ADOPTION FEE for Mean Jean.    Mean Jean is spayed, was vaccinated, and treated for fleas as needed. . We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption.

Story
One SMART Kitty!Floyd was born about November 9, 2010 and weighs about 15 lbs.  This big kitty is a very smart boy and appeared here winter of 2017.  It seems he found the cat door in the front of the garage, wandered around in the garage long enough to find the cat door into the cellar where there is an endless supply of kitty food, fresh water and a rather consistent temperature of about 60 degrees.  So, winter of 2017 he terrorized the staff and the dogs that visit the cellar now and then to try to find 'treats' that the other rather feral cats, who live inside (cellar)/outside leave for them.  He was fine with the other cats, but the dogs weren't allowed to come up the steps after they got down!   No humans were allowed to touch him and if you reached for something in the shelves where he was lurking you'd get a good swat on your hand that goes 'THUD'!   Then summer came and he was gone.  The cellar was much more accessible to all of us, but we must admit we missed him a bit and hoped he was ok.  Then came winter of 2018 and the snow and cold hit early - Floyd was back!   He looked a little rough, but it didn't take long for him to regain his shiny fur and eyes.  And much to our surprise he was just a teensy bit friendlier and seemed to be taunting 'Cat Man Drew' by rubbing on his legs, yet swatting his hand if it came close.  OK...now is the time to neuter this boy!   'Cat Man Drew' grabbed him with some big gloves and into a crate he went!!!    Then off to see Dr. Rasey to get the deed done!  He recovered a few days in a crate and then was cautiously set free in the cellar looking rather indignant!  Perhaps he's mellowed a bit and we don't know if he'll be leaving again this summer, but if he does he may find his summer activities dampened just a bit if you know what I mean.    : )   We understand it is unlikely anyone will want to adopt Floyd, but we thought it was fun to tell his story and hope you enjoyed reading about him.  We've deemed Floyd a sanctuary pet and he is considered 'un-adoptable'. Joyful Rescues remains committed to our Sanctuary Dogs and Cats. They will stay with us for their natural lives and we will care for and love them. We will be their forever family. We wish we could do it alone but we need your help. We are looking for people who can help us with Floyds care. Please click the link below and donate.
