PLEASE NOTE: We do not adopt our fosters to anyone further than a 1-hour drive from Albany, NY. Unless otherwise stated below, our fosters are spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and up to date on vaccinations before they are posted for adoption. Interested in adopting? Visit www.animalovers.org/adopt to download and email an application! *** RICKY'S ADOPTION FEE IS SPONSORED FOR APPROVED ADOPTERS *** Ricky is a friendly and affectionate 1.5 year old tuxedo boy dressed to impress! He purrs when you pet him and likes to have his chin and belly rubbed. He likes to spend his days sleeping on your bed. He doesn't care to be picked up, it messes up his handsome tuxedo suit and he can't have that! We initially thought he does not like other cats, however he has begun being okay with the other cats in his foster home. He can be your only cat, but may consider being okay with another very easy going cat in the home.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not adopt our fosters to anyone further than a 1-hour drive from Albany, NY. Unless otherwise stated below, our fosters are spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and up to date on vaccinations before they are posted for adoption. Interested in adopting? Visit www.animalovers.org/adopt to download and email an application! Milley and her brother, Dale, were strays in Burnt Hills. She was fed by a kind lady on her back porch for over a year. During that time, Milley had two litters of kittens. In the first litter, only one kitten survived and is currently living with the kind lady. When Milley had her second litter of five kittens, an AnimaLovers volunteer stepped in to take Milley and her babies into her home to foster them. Milley was an excellent, attentive mother to her babies, who have now all been adopted into loving homes. Milley also wants a forever home to call her own. She is a shy, independent girl who will come out to see her humans when she feels the time is right. She needs a quite home. Older children would be fine but younger children would make her too nervous. She is okay with her feline brother, Dale, but has not been exposed to dogs. Her new family needs to be patient with her; she will take a while to adjust to new surroundings. She is about 1.5 years old.

Visit www.animalovers.org/adopt to download and email an application! Dale is about 1.5 years old and was a stray with his sister, Milley, in Burnt Hills. He was fed by a kind lady on her back porch for over a year. Eventually, an AnimaLovers volunteer stepped in to get Dale vetted and to find him a forever indoors home! He is friendly and will purr when he sees his favorite humans. He will come out from his sleeping stop to be pet and to rub up against his humans. He is still getting used to living indoors so new people, places and noises make him nervous. He is a handsome, gentle guy who just wants to be loved. He will do well with older children in his forever home; he is too nervous to be with young children. He is okay living with his feline sister. He has never been around dogs. He will take time to adjust to his forever home, but the wait will be worth it for this lovebug! He would do best in a quieter home.

She is hoping her troubles are behind her and a loving forever home is just around the corner. Winnie is above all else a people cat! She is quite personable and likes to greet every visitor in her foster home as her new favorite friend. Other animals, however, are a no-go for her. She MUST be your only pet. She is terrified of other cats and the stress causes her to over groom out of anxiety. While she's isn't a lap cat, she still loves attention. She will initiate snuggles next to you, head bops, and request pets. The biggest purrs always follow! Some of her favorite things include window hunting, high perches, wand toys, small furry toys, and scratching posts. She also likes to burrow into small cozy places like baskets and blankets. A calm and quiet home that would spoil her with an extra tall cat tree and lots of cozy nap spots would be her heaven!

***HOW TO ADOPT*** An approved adoption application is required to meet our cats. Visit www.animalovers.org/adopt to download an application which can be emailed to info@animalovers.org. We do not adopt our fosters to anyone further than a 1-hour drive from Albany, NY. Unless otherwise stated in their bio, our fosters are spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and up to date on vaccinations before they are posted for adoption. ***ABOUT LUCY*** Lucy is 11 months old, she will need a special patient and understanding home that can take the time to continue to work with her. You can not pick her up but you can pet her (especially when food is around or she is snuggled with her pals). Sometimes she will get up on your couch near you. She is an energic little girl and will absolutely need a pal (or two) to hang out with and snuggle up to. She loves other cats but has not been around dogs. Because of her nature there should be no young children in your home. She is a polydactyl. Won't you give her the forever home she deserves?

She was found when she walked right into a strangers home on a cold winter night! We have since given her a warm loving place to live, however, she is now ready to have a forever home of her own. Casey would be a great only-cat and/or only-pet. She makes herself right at home, she can be indifferent but has a yearning to be loved! Casey is very independent and will come around and purr and likes to be pet (on her own terms). There is one place in the house where she does not like to be affectionate, and that is in the kitchen, she of course has an agenda and that is food! Casey will often put up her dukes, bat, gently grapple or give love bites when the affection shown is too much for her to handle. With the right tender loving care and an experienced cat owner, Casey can continue to learn to give and receive the love she has, wants and needs!

Story
I've had mittens for around 5 years or so. I had a cat when I got her and another cat so I had 3. They all got along great I got another 2 cats, and they all did fine. It was a great life. They were all friendly playful and happy. Then I got a dog, and another dog, and two more dogs. And now the cats all pick on her, the dogs scare her, and she is asleep most of the time. She loves attention, affection, being pet, rolling over, playing, sleeping with you , sitting in your lap. She is a great cat. It is a shame that she is sitting around in one place, she gets chased from everywhere she tries to go by the other cats, and it's jaut not fair for her. I gave her to my ex and he had her as the only let, and she was so happy. But he had to go away for medical reasons, and now I had taken her back and she is just not getting what she deserves or needs. I need to find her a home where she can feel safe and comfortable, and have a good lifem. She's really low maintenance and full of love.

Could give little Peanut a home? She is an affectionate, playful, and very loving cat. The only reason we need to rehome her is that we are moving overseas and cannot take her with us. She is healthy and all vaccinations are up to date. Please, give Peanut a loving home if you can! Thank you so much for your kindness! Please, call us at Arthur and Marinella Knowles (xxx) xxx-xxxx - cell phone (xxx) xxx-xxxx -landline.
