Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkvLmDhiTRY Pequena is a petite beautiful girl who survived on the streets for most of her young life until she came to our rescue. Despite that, she is very friendly and social and loves to be petted. She is very food motivated and very affectionate. She is not vocal. She is great with other cats and with dogs. She is currently in Oklahoma where she was rescued but can only be adopted out of state. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport locations listed below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on the next transport until a new home is found. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue/reviews Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Lynnwood, Seattle/Tacoma) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Illinois (Vandalia) - Indiana (Spiceland) - Ohio (Columbus) - Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) - New York (Albany and Buffalo) - Connecticut (Enfield) Vetting: spayed, microchipped, rabies vaccine, FeLV/FIV tested, FeLV vaccine x 2, FRVCP vaccine x 2 (minimum), on monthly flea/tick/intestinal worm/heartworm prevention. Adoption fee: $350 (includes the $200 cost of transport from Oklahoma) A lot of shelters/rescues do not test for FeLV/FIV and consequently also do not vaccine for it. But we do. The cost for the test and 2 vaccines is $150. So the cost of that plus the $200 cost of transport is the equivalent of the adoption fee. It does not include their spay/neuter, rabies vaccine, microchip and anti-parasite prevention. Not to mention the cost of food, gas to get to/from the vet, gas to get them to transport and the cost of any other medical needs they may have had. So if the fee seems high, please understand that the cost of saving cats from death is much higher and also that you will have peace of mind about your cat not having or getting leukemia. Getting all the vetting listed above done at a vet with non-rescue rates and in northern states where vets tend to be double or triple the cost as down here would be much more expensive than $350.

Cats like me are really sweet with people when we feel at home, especially when we know them well. In new places, we tend to need a little time to figure out the coast is clear. Once I feel at home, I will be your bosom buddy. We usually are not the best in busy households, but we tend to like the company of other cats, and make really good snuggle buddies because one of the safest places we know is with our people!

Cats like me do not tend to get riled up too easily. We feel like we have a pretty good handle on things and feel comfortable around new people and in new places. I might be a good fit for a family with children, or a slightly busier household. Got another friendly pet at home? We will likely get along with a little time and positive introductions.

Taco can be pretty shy. He prefers quiet environments. Taco is currently homed with an older dog, and a younger cat. While he does get along with both, he definitely does not like other animals. He can be very territorial and prefers lots of space. When stressed, he can be aggressive. I've had him since he was a kitten, and I love him very much. I'm not in a hurry to rehome him, but if the right household came along, then I would love for him to be happy.
