Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. JAZZY and friends, arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine on Friday 26 June 2026 from our partner shelter in Texas. We post our available pets across the east coast and Canada and welcome applications from anywhere on the understanding that approved families must be prepared to travel to the rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. Health & Background Estimated Date of Birth: 2l March 2026 ✅ SPAYED ✅ NWS Transport Protocol: Credelio CAT and Capstar administered orally prior to transport from a New World Screwworm (NWS) affected area. ✅ FIV Test (SNAP): Negative ✅ FeLV Test (SNAP): Negative ✅ Eclipse 4 (FVRCP+C) Vaccination: Protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (Herpesvirus-1), Feline Calicivirus, Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper), and Chlamydia felis. Rabies Vaccine: Too young to receive at time of transport - WILL NEED RABIES! ✅ Microchipped with 24PetWatch and registered with the Free Pet Chip Registry. ⚖️ Weight: 18 July 2026 - 4.9 pounds Jazzy has been at the rescue since 26 June and is such a sweet, fun, affectionate, high energy kitty. She shared a large cat room with her kitty friends and they played, charged around, ate together and groomed each other and of course snuggled up together. Sadly all her friends have been adopted and she is here alone. Jazzy as well as being great with other cats, is good with dogs and puppies and when it is feesible comes out to hang out with them in the house, she is confident and doesn't mind them sniffing and trying to play with her and will stand her ground if they get a bit too pushy. Jazzy is also great in a cat carrier and does great travelling. For a while the rescue had a fundraising store in the Bangor Mall, where 4-5 days a week we would travel 45 minutes each way. A pen was set up for the kitties and people of all ages and sizes would come in and hang out in the kitty pen sharing their love and affection. She has no problems going in a cat carrier or travelling. She has used several kinds of clumping litter and also the more natural wheat litter and has  no problems. She is currently eating a selection of different brand and protein dry food so it will be easy for her to transition to whatever food her new family prefers. Jazzy is a sweet confident kitten, who loves to snuggle and play with her kitten friends, but is also very affectionate with people, immediately going up to them to climb on their knee, their head, their back or wherever she wants (lol) will giving out her loud purring. JAZZYs adoption fee is $150 and she will need her rabies vaccine.

Story
Meeka is a sweet and charming senior kitty, around 12 years old, who has mastered the art of being the purrfect companion. She's friendly and social without being demanding. You'll often find her snoozing contentedly at the foot of the bed, and unlike some cats, she's considerate enough to let you sleep in rather than demanding breakfast at dawn! Meeka does best with adults and older children, around age 9 and up. She's a cat who appreciates having her personal space respected and isn't a fan of being carried around like a rag doll. That said, she's patient and tolerant, making her a wonderful companion for respectful, cat-savvy kids. When Meeka first arrives in a new home, she will seek out a secret hiding spot given the chance. It's best to provide a safe space, giving her time to adjust, and when she's ready, she'll explore her surroundings and get to know her new family. Meeka isn't an overly playful cat, but she's still a cat and you'll have fun discovering what toys bring out the hunter in her. She's a lovely girl and her calm presence will bring a lightness to your home. If you're looking for a friendly, easy-going family kitty who enjoys human company, Meeka could be your match!

Story
Meet Sunshine! ☀️ This petite, 1-year-old calico girl from the island of Dominica is a quiet little Ninja with the most beautiful, unique markings and an adorable round belly. She’s shy and a bit skittish at first, but food is the way to her heart- especially Churu treats! She's quite playful and spends her time chasing string toys and springs and balls around the Cat Lounge. Sunshine loves having a cozy nook and cat bed to call her own. She is friends with Biscuit, but she can be your one-and-only or happily share her home with other cat friends. She’d do best with cat-savvy, respectful dogs and older, quiet children, as she has no prior experience with either. Could Sunshine be your perfect little ray of light? 💛 If you want to meet her, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Have you ever met Biscuit? She's speedy and spry! A blink and a whisker—and *zip!*—she goes by. She's two years old with a bright orange coat, As light as a leaf or a tiny toy boat. She wiggles through hidey-holes, cozy and neat, Then suddenly pops out whene'er there's a treat! "Did someone say snacks?" she'll seem to declare, Appearing like magic from *who-knows-just-where!* She came from Dominica, far over the sea, With many cat friends; how brave they must be. She's skinny and zippy, a quick little streak, The champion of "Hide-and-Then-Peek". New people can make her feel worried inside, So sometimes she'll watch from a nice place to hide. But kindness is magic, that's steady and true; Each gentle hello helps her trust grow anew. She adores other cats, With whiskers and tail swishes, purrs, and all that! And Snoopy- friendly and sweet- Is Biscuit's kind buddy from nose down to feet. Together they play, together they rest, Are they thinking the other is simply the best? So, if you've got patience, a warm little nook, And maybe a sunbeam or two by a book, A house full of kindness, where quiet hearts fit, Could be the place waiting for Bit— No, *Biscuit!* (She's zippy! She dashed out of sight!) Then back for a treat with the happiest delight. So open your door with a smile warm and wide, And let little Biscuit decide to come home inside. Because once she believes that your love will stay true, She'll fill your home up with a friendship brand new.

Story
**Bonded with Lainey** Lindsay has come a long way in her human socialization! She has always been a cat’s cat- befriending, cuddling and playing with, teaching, and welcoming new cats, young & old, to the Lounge. She leads with grace and patience, and is the VP of hunting wand toys, springs, little mice, balls, and treats/kibble! She has the different food puzzles at the Lounge figured out, and is quick to approach and follow humans around with interest. Her intense stare, croaky supplicant meow, and frequent use of her paws to investigate objects and knock things out of your hands leads to unending amusement for all. She has progressed immensely with humans, allowing a couple of sneaky pets while she’s distracted. She has been seen cuddling and headbutting all of the other friendly Lounge cats, and has now become very bonded with Lainey. Come to the Lounge to witness Lindsay in all her glory! She’s a special cat looking for a special home with Lainey. If you want to meet Lindsay, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
**Bonded with his sister Winnie** Meet Schmidt — the kitten equivalent of a perfectly tailored suit with a surprise pop of color. Schmidt is a 10-month-old firecracker with just the right amount of swagger and independence. His adorable nose freckles give him that “I swear it’s not dirt” vibe — the kind of endearing quirk that would make even Winston (er, Winnie) pause mid-prank to coo. When he’s not busy wrestling with his sister, Winnie, he’s probably chasing down wand toys with the intensity of Nick Miller trying to avoid responsibility. And speaking of Winnie — Schmidt is especially close with her. These two are often found snuggled up together, looking like a buddy-cop duo on a stakeout. Despite his fiery energy, Schmidt is gentle, friendly, and totally into his human friends, too. He’s social, sweet, and always down for a cuddle break before zooming off to his next adventure. A true free-spirited boy, he strikes the perfect balance between independent king of the loft and affectionate little roommate. If you’re looking for an older kitten with personality, charm, and a dash of Schmidt-level flair, this little guy is ready to move in — NO SPIDER JARS REQUIRED. To meet Schmidt, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.
