Story
Hopper is a senior sweetie, born in 2016.  He is usually pretty calm and well past the kitten stage if you're looking for a cat that is older.  He is not high maintenance and he is litter trained.  Hopper is friendly with canines, felines and kids of all ages. The perfect home for Hopper would be with someone who is committed to providing love and a place for him to call home the rest of his life.  Hopper needs someone to make sure he is well fed and gets lots of attention. The suggested adoption donation for Hopper is $85 , which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Please Note:  A Courtesy Post designates that an animal is still in the home of its owner and not in a Muddy Paws foster. This means that our exposure to the animal is limited since we are only assisting the owner in finding a new home for their pet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue and there is a delay in removing them from our site. We apologize if the Courtesy Post you apply to adopt is unavailable for adoption. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases) during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

Story
I took Penny home with me 2 years ago; I found her in a neglect situation on a property where I was meeting up with someone to purchase something off marketplace. I intended to take her to the humane society… Penny is a good natured girl and an avid snuggler. She gets along well with both children and dogs alike, but my cats bully her constantly. When I moved from my previous home, Penny stayed there with a friend who moved into the house, as she was an indoor/outdoor cat and was used to that environment. There have always been problems with bowel movements outside of the litter box and the issue remained with this friend. I have had every test possible done to eliminate health concerns, as well as changing litter, litter boxes, relocating, etc. The friend couldn’t handle the situation anymore, thus Penny ended back up with me. I changed her diet (eliminated chicken and wheat) and this helped her bathroom habits, but that did not last. I am at a loss and am seeking help.

Story
In the Beatles litter, Penny Lane is little shyer than her siblings, but this stunning flame point does warm up eventually and then is really difficult to put back down, says her foster dad. Like, literally. Once she gets into sweet snuggle mode, she loves to climb up and perch on your shoulders, especially right behind your neck. She also doesnt shy away from a wrestling match, especially with her brother, Jude, and would thrive in a quieter home with a cat buddy. Can Penny Lane hit the road to a forever home with you? Please visit our website at www.whiskerstnr.org to learn more about this amazing cat and to see other available cats.
