Story
Peanut is a 4 month old, very special orange boy. He is very much a “cat’s cat” . He loves all his feline foster friends but isn’t big on cuddling with humans. He is alike and unlike most cats who don’t like humans right away, he needs LOTS of patience as he gets to know his new surroundings. Once he feels at home which may take awhile, he will follow you around and always want to be in the same room as you. He’s not big on sitting in your lap, but definitely wants to take a seat next to you on your bed or couch. He loves to play with fluffy toys on a stick and absolutely LOVES his treats. With more enrichment, with his toys and treats he will warm up to you even better. Food and quality time are definitely his love languages. The adoption donation for Spicy Peanut  is $200.  This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Spicy Peanut, please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt. We will review your responses and be in contact to schedule a meet and greet at a time and place convenient for your family and our team members.  March 15, 2024, 12:10 am

Story
Rosie was adopted and then returned to us at no fault of her own, her adapter had severe allergies. Rosie is very shy and timid, and is not fond of men. She needs to be home and in a quiet and laid-back household with a single female, so she is comfortable and happy. This lovely girl is independent and does like to hang out on her own at times, but will come to you when she wants affection and attention. She will let you know when she's had enough and is happy just to be around you. No other pets or children please.

What a good boy! Not only is Sawyer so very handsome, he's the sweetest and gentlest boy you will find. He may start out a wee bit shy, but just for a couple days. He settles in and then is truly an affectionate and friendly loyal companion. This purring machine enjoys being brushed, getting belly rubs, and lovvvvves to play.

Story
Sassy is active and fun and sweet and loving. She was okay with other animals in her previous foster home as long as they respect her space and don't overwhelm her, but she would need a slow and gradual introduction. She isn't as agreeable with other cats (except her sister Dinah); there is a lot of hissing involved, but seems so very interested in dogs at the adoption center window. Loves to be pet and will jump in your lap for lovin. If household members, human and animal, are really active and loud, she may go into hiding until she knows you and things calm down. Sassy has grown fond of the young girl in her foster home and loves to play and sleep with her, and follow her around the house, so kids would be welcome to her, but again, they need to know if too loud she may run and hide at first. She would also enjoy being adopted with her sister Dinah who she is very comfortable spending her time with, but will be fine if adopted alone provided she receives lots of love and attention.

Story
Joy will start out just a bit shy as she settles in to a new home or when first meeting new people. But once she adjusts she is very friendly and extremely loving. She's playful but also part-independent and likes her kitty R&R sunning herself on her kitty tower and bird or squirrel watching. She gets very hissy with other animals if they are not laid back and gives her the personal space she prefers from other pets. Joy has shown some fear of dogs and as she starts out timid, likely no small active children would be best.

Story
* PART OF A PAIRS ONLY ADOPTION WITH GIZMO * Gunner is as sweet as he is cute. Though he's a big boy, he is a bit timid with people he doesn't know at first and does prefer a quieter household. He is extremely bonded with his brother/cousin (same dad, moms were sisters) Gizmo, so closely that we will not consider separating them. They compliment each other nicely; as Gizmo is the much smaller but bolder of the two, he leads the charge and Gunner is happy to let him. They play, snuggle, and entertain each other, while also very much enjoying their human family and cuddling with their people as well. They are good with other kind and social cats, as well as cat-friendly dogs that are gentle. Due to Gunner's preference for a low-key home, we recommend no small kids or a family with too much hustle and bustle. *** Gunner does suffer from chronic ear infections, possibly from food allergies. He is on a fish-based diet as vet feels it's a poultry allergy. There is a pet store brand food that has limited ingredients which he likes, but in the future there is a possibility of a prescription diet if it persists. He will also need to stay on daily (inexpensive) allergy meds purchased at your local store. Gunner should have yearly wellness visits to check the ears, and if any issues from time to time may need an ear drop or cleanings. He is a trooper and does very well with this and it's quite manageable. But his furever owner will need to know his ears should be watched for his optimal comfort and happiness.

We are absolutely heartbroken to have to rehome this special cat. He is the best of both worlds-he will snuggle up on a blanket or in your bed and yet he is playful like a kitten. He will even play fetch! He has tons of personality. He is very attached to us. My daughter has developed severe asthma and a cat allergy. We have to find him a new home soon. Ideally he should be without kids because it makes him nervous with the loud noises, etc. He has no medical needs and will eat any food! Please consider giving him a new home. Thank you!

Nicola is very independent and loves to explore and check out every inch of her surroundings from top to bottom. Nicola loves to climb and often hangs out on top of our cages or cabinets to explore so she would love a cat tree to lounge in. She does well with other cats but mostly keeps to herself. She has an agenda of seeking and loves to inspect her environment and perch to observe. After a day of roaming, she happily snoozes away in her kitty kasa and really enjoys having a hut to call her own for napping. Her adoption fee is $155, and includes all her vaccines, registered microchip, fecal exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV tested negative, current on her flea preventative, and spay. She is already fixed!

Story
Meet Leona, our sweet eight year old kitty that was surrendered to our facility after seeing her outside for quite some time on her own. Leona is very mellow and usually spends most of her day napping on her pillow. She'll stretched out her little legs and come up to the doors to greet us with her little 'mew'. She has a pretty unique look with her small, rounded tip ears and her little chubby cheeks. Leona isn't too interested with toys but absolutely loves wet food. She'll weave in and out of your legs if she sees that you crack a can open and lick her bowl clean. She may even bat her bright, green eyes for another bite or two. She is currently not a big fan of cats or dogs so a home where she can be the only pet would be best. Her adoption fee is $135, and includes all her vaccines, registered microchip, fecal exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV tested negative, current on her flea preventative, and spay. She is already fixed!

Story
Introducing Lunette, a beautiful and vocal 2 year old tuxedo cat available for adoption. Lunette arrived at JTAC as a stray that was never reclaimed. She is quite the character and has left a big impression on multiple visitors that have stopped by our catroom. She's known as the talkative cat with the long whiskers. Lunette can be really silly when she's out of her cage and stretches her legs. She loves ping pong balls and catnip. She'll roll around on the floor and stretch out every inch of her body. She loves attention and is hoping to find a home that will play and entertain her with laser pointers and toys. Lunette is still pretty new to the catroom and has been selective with cats. For the most part, she wants to be left alone and will let the others know to keep their distance. On the other hand, she LOVED a super docile and mellow cat name Johnnie and was smitten. She would climb into his cage and hang out with him during playtime. She would need to be a cat that the owners would have to have the right match and do a proper introduction to integrate her into the new home with other cats. Her adoption fee is $165, and includes all her vaccines, registered microchip, fecal exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV tested negative, current on her flea preventative, and spay.

Story
Peach Pie is a stunning, two year old Calico that is looking for her forever throne. Ms Peach arrived as a stray and unfortunately, she was never reclaimed. She pawed at you whenever you walked by and meowed for your undivided attention. She just likes to soak it all in. When she was moved into the catroom, she made it very apparent that she did not want to share the spotlight with other feline friends so she is looking to be the only pet at home. Peach promises to give you all the lovin' and companionship you'll ever need. She loves to hop up on the desk and plant herself in front of you while you work. She'll tickle your nose with her long tail and paw at your hands for head scratches. She loves wet food and enjoys a quick play session of chasing toys or batting wand toys. Peach Pie also loves to explore and climb to new heights so a cat tree up against the living room window would be her favorite spot. Her adoption fee is $165, and includes all her vaccines, registered microchip, fecal exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV tested negative, current on her flea preventative, and spay.
