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. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A CAT FROM JOYFUL RESCUES 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
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.

Story
Sadly, I Was Not Socialized. William was born about June 1, 2018 and is a healthy, happy, cat that is wonderful with the other cats and the visiting dogs.  Sadly, he is very fearful of humans as he was not socialized as a baby.  Joyful Rescues is looking for a home for this kitty that someone will be very, very, patient and/or let him be himself.  He would never attack anyone, but would just run away.  We would also be willing to let him go to an inside/outside or decent barn 'home'.  It would be nice if there was another kitty to pal with as he's always been with others.  All medical care has been done and there will be no adoption fee.  It is very sad, but way too many humans turned kittens into us that they said were friendly that were not and now we are unable, at this time, to take more cats in.  We could sure use your help to place our now sanctuary cats that live at the main location in the basement/garage/outside.  They are good about using the litter box.     Prior to being released as a sanctuary cat he was neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FELV.  He is given flea control throughout the summers.  There is no adoption fee for this kitty. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A CAT FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list.

Story
I'm one smart kitty!Kat Mandu was born around March 1, 2020 and is an averaged sized kitty.  Kat was found as a stray in a local barn and when no one came looking for him the owner of the barn called Joyful.  Kat does wonderfully with the kitties and doesn't seem to mind dogs.  Kat lives as an outdoor/indoor garage and heated basement 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 manage to get flea meds on when needed.  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.   This kitty is spayed/neutered, was vaccinated, and treated for fleas as needed.  We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible.
