Story
I was rescued from an Amish farm shortly after I gave birth to two beautiful babies.To start our adoption process, House of Mews Rescue asks that you please complete our on-line no-obligation adoption application, which is located on our website under the adopt tab at http://www.houseofmewsrescue.org/adopt.html A HOM volunteer will reach out to you to discuss your application within 24-48 hours after an application has been submitted. Current on vaccinations, and have tested negative for both FIV ('Feline Immunodeficiency Virus') and FeLV (Feline Leukemia).  I was rescued from an Amish farm shortly after I gave birth to two beautiful babies.  I was only 6 months old when I had my babies and I was to feel like my entire life would be getting pregnant, giving birth, and not have adequate food, water, and shelter.  Regardless, my babies came first and I was a very protective mom.  I made sure my babies were well fed and as warm as I could get them.  Suddenly, everything changed and I thought I might have a better future.   You see, I was rescued and brought inside to a nice big room with plenty of food and water.  My babies were safe and that made me so happy.  But I had, and still have, fears to overcome, trauma to get past, and trust issues.  I am much better than I used to be but I am still working on my confidence.   I am super sweet with my foster mom now.  I feel bad that I gave her such a hard time at first, but I didn't know any better.  I didn't know a kind touch or a loving heart coming from people.  Slowly I am learning that not all people are bad.  I'm not sure which ones are good and which ones are not which is why I take my time figuring it out.  Once I know a person, out comes this beautiful cat that loves to purr and I cannot get enough pets! I'm told I need a loving and patient forever family.  I am told that may be difficult.  I certainly am not trying to be difficult, I just had a really tough start and the scars will always be with me but I'm learning to love and trust. I can only hope there is a place for me with a family that can understand what I've been through and gives me every opportunity to adjust.   Approx. birth date: 7/24/20 Foster: MGMarch 25, 2024, 1:02 pm

Beautiful bonded brothers need a loving homeTo start our adoption process, House of Mews Rescue asks that you please complete our online no-obligation adoption application, which is located on our website under the adopt tab at http://www.houseofmewsrescue.org/adopt.html Should our Adoption Coordinator feel your application is a good fit, a HOM volunteer will reach out to discuss your application with you. Current on vaccinations, and have tested negative for both FIV ('Feline Immunodeficiency Virus') and FeLV (Feline Leukemia). Donovan and Captain are bonded brothers who need a loving home that will allow them to be together forever.  You see, both these boys are a bit shy at first.  They will need someone who can give them time to adjust to their new home and environment.  They have come along way in foster care.  Donovan sleeps with his foster mom and curls up on the couch next to her, he did not do any of that when he was first rescued.  Captain is so sweet but he is just timid.  He will get some pets and loving from his foster mom but it is on his terms.    Captain and Donovan are always playing together, sleeping together, basically they do most things together.  They are so much fun to watch and provide hours of entertainment.  As stated above, they will need time to adjust to their new home but once they are comfortable, what a great feeling it will be to know you gave these boys a chance they deserve so much.     Approx. birth date: 4/1/21 Foster: MG  March 25, 2024, 1:02 pm

Joy has been in foster care her whole life. Joy is sweet and loving and will seek out attention and ask to be pet.  But it is a bit of a process with her. Joy had a tough start so initially she has a bit of fear to overcome.  Shy and fearful cats are overlooked all to often in rescue.  If someone would give Joy a chance, you will see the wonderful cat she has blossomed into. Joy is ready to find a family that will give her a bit of time to adjust to her new surroundings and who can offer her companionship that will help to boost her confidence.   Approx. birth date: 9/9/2022 Foster:  MGMarch 25, 2024, 1:02 pm

Story
Christmas is a beautiful gray and white kitten born into Viva Los Gatos Cat Rescue on Christmas Eve 2022.  She has lovely copper eyes, and a white chest and belly.  Christmas is a very active little girl that loves being with her siblings.  She is the most verbal of her brothers and sisters, and she loves to snuggle with them.   Christmas is not a lap cat, but she is a wonderful companion cat and loves to lay next to her favorite human.  She prefers if you just give her head pets and play with her.  Throw a ball or a stuffed mouse, and she will capture it!   Christmas is a little more aloof than her siblings, and more verbal, and would do well with a companion kitty such as one of her siblings.  Come meet this friendly little girl and see if she is a good fit for you and your family!   Interested in adopting Christmas or one of our other wonderful kitties? Please visit www.VivaLosGatosCatRescue.org and complete our no-obligation, online adoption application from any PC or mobile device. Viva Los Gatos is based in Cleveland, Ohio, and adopts to residents of Northeast Ohio. Adoptions to residents outside this area are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Story
Marilyn Kiss is a gentle lady. She came to us as an older female with newborn kittens. She was likely scolded and chased off by many. She has always been gentle, but when she first came she was so timid. Over time she has gained more confidence and has forgotten the abuse she once endured from humans. She loves pets, a nice sunny window, and cozy spots to relax and watch the world go by! Marilyn does well with other cats, has only seen dogs at a distance, and we assume a home without small children would be best. Please consider this lovely lady! https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050?fbclid=IwAR05-V3uDCu-RhJWgVeBBb6ydGvA9UF6vfvbrGbAXfx6YuUITckY25DcFn4

Freya is a sweet momma cat that was pitched out when a college daughter moved away. Not only that, she wasn’t spayed, so she had a litter of kittens. She kept them safe u til a neighbor saw them, and jumped to their rescue last autumn. They spent the winter inside receiving all their vet care, and lots of love. This family reached out to us to take them, and help them find you! She is sweet and petite! Quite a good biscuit maker,too! She is so deserving of a family that will treat her like the princess that she is! Is that family you? https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050

Finley was saved from living a life outside of an art studio in a neighborhood of Cleveland considered an art district. She had people caring for her, but did not have a home of her own. Luckily, we were able to take her in and give her the works a.k.a. spayed and wellness care. She was a little shy at first, but definitely receptive of human attention. She is very receptive to attention but does become reserved in new situations. We can’t wait for you to meet her! We know that you’re just going to fall in love! By the way, the way to her heart is definitely through a can of wet food 🙂 Get preapproved before you meet them! https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050

Story
Silver Dollar is a sweet boy who came to us with a couple other friends. He was coming to eat at a lady's house who had moved away. She was concerned that her cats would not get the help they needed now that she was gone and asked us for our help. Once we got these kitty cats, we realize they were all friendly. Like so many others, these boys were likely someone’s friend at some point. Or at least they thought they were until they were left behind. Silver is a sweet and cautious boy. He’s definitely seen some things while he was outside. He is out and enjoys affection when things are calm. He startles at times, but those times are becoming less and less. He would likely do best in a quiet home with other friends. Interested in meeting this handsome gentleman? You won’t regret it!

Story
Bonnie came to us a couple years ago and just kind of had a slow journey with a couple different fosters. She’s been pretty friendly for a while, however, she was in a situation at first, where she kind of stayed off in the distance in a room with some other cats that weren’t quite as friendly. We transferred her last fall to a foster home where she could learn to be a kitty cat. She is doing fabulous and is the perfect coworker; we her!🙂 Bonnie has been to a couple vets as well because she had a limp. Her leg had previously dislocated and fused to her body wall. A surgeon at the VCA said to leave it alone and as long as she was walking, it would be fine, that if we did any type of surgery, it would likely cause some discomfort and arthritis down the road. We think her swagger (limp) is kind of adorable. It’s very slight. Would you like to have a coworker like her in your life? Great! Fill out this form and we can set up a meet and greet https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050

Mittens is being surrendered to our rescue due to too many animals in the home. She is utd on vaccinations & spayed. She is an independent cat, who will snuggle with you occasionally. She might need a little work with litter training, it is intermittent, but it is probably due to the number of cats in the home vs. the number of litter boxes. She is about 3 years old and weighs about 8lbs
