Story
This is Opal and Maeve! They are so loved by my family. Maeve is an 11 mo old black kitten and Opal an 8 mo old snowshoe. They are both female. The reason we have come to this decision is I recently found outs I have POTS, which affects my circulation. I am also pregnant with our second child. It has been progressing over the last few months. The cats love me, and I love them. One of our cats especially adores me. The issue is she trips me regularly. The most recent incident was that she stopped in front of my feet while I was going up the stairs, and I fell while avoiding her. I was holding our son, and was able to protect him and didn’t hit my belly, but I got injured. The cat was also okay thankfully. I have been devastated, but it’s coming down to the safety of everyone involved. We are very low income, and we can’t keep up. It is irresponsible with the way my health seems to be progressing to keep them.

Story
Meet momma Mona. She gave birth in a warehouse and a nice man found her and started feeding her. She is very healthy and very happy and very friendly. Mona has a little sag in her right eye but we don't see any reason for it so we assume it's from an old injury and it causes her zero problems. We think she is probably only about a year old herself and she gave birth at the end of April or beginning of May. Mona is fully vetted and ready to travel.. Mona is super friendly and loving and gets along with other cats as well. if you are interested in adopting please visit Funnyfarmpets.org to read all about our Tennessee based rescue and how the adoption and transport process works. These babies are currently fostered in Tennessee and won't travel until their vetting is completed. The adoption fee is $165. If transport is required that adds an additional $115 The link to the application is https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFRR/Cat

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Coriander is a sweet, shy girl who is looking for a quiet home where she can blossom! She loves food; it's a great way to win her trust (and purrs), and she is quite affectionate with her trusted humans, though she does not enjoy being picked up. Her adoption fee is $75. Many cats do so much better in pairs, especially kittens, which is why we offer a reduced adoption fee of $25 for the second cat (or more!). Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. November 5, 2024, 11:25 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tigger is a sweet lap kitty! He is FIV positive, which means he has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Simply put, he has a weakened immune system. FIV is technically contagious to other cats but is only transmitted through deep bite wounds, so as long as cats aren't fighting, there is no risk of transmission. FIV+ cats can live normal, healthy lives. Read more about FIV here: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-infection.
