Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Maggie is 10yo, weighs 7lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, is microchipped, and is FeLV/FIV negative, as her veterinary records will substantiate.  Maggie's guardian adds:  "She dislikes dogs, scared of new people in the home, gets nervous when you touch her unexpectedly, and does not like to be picked up or held.  During car rides, she often meows and cries, but is okay in a crate in the car." Maggie's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  "She does not do well with other pets and has started peeing outside her litter box.  We have tried everything to prevent her from peeing outside the litter box, but no changes.  We think she will do better as an only pet in a calm environment." Maggie's guardian states the following regarding children:  Maggie doesn't live with children, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with children, stating "She is very timid and usually hides when new people come to the house.  She has never interacted with anyone below the age of 18". Maggie's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Maggie lives with a dog, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating "She is very fearful and wants her space.  Anytime our dog gets near her she will hiss to try to get him away from her including chasing him, growling, and even scratching if he gets too close.  When he is not in her bubble, they get along fine". Maggie's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Maggie lives with a cat, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "She does well with our other cat; they play together, sleep together, eat together, etc.  But, she did not take to him for almost a year and having a new animal in the house is what started her peeing outside the litter box.  So while they get along wonderfully now, the behavioral peeing has not stopped". Maggie's guardian describes her as: Couch potato Quiet Playful Friendly Shy Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Maggie's guardian describes her ideal future home: "The best home for Maggie would be with an older couple or a single person who is home often and is fine with only having one cat.  This person is willing to play with her every day (she loves strings, like soft measuring tapes, as toys) and will give her love and treats often, as she is very affectionate, but timid.  They are experienced with cats and have a good routine that they can stick to most days, if not every day."

Story
Hello, Please meet Chloe my grandmother's senior cat. She also has her bonded brother Ricky. My grandmother will be moving in with my uncle down in Florida (for health) and is unable to take her precious babies with her. Ideally we'd like someone who would be willing to take in both of these very loving and adorable kitties, but understand if they must be separated. Age: Unknown but we suspect maybe around 7 or 8 years old. We scooped these bundles of joys from our backyard as kittens--literally. Temperament: They can be very shy at first so they will need an adjustment period. But to someone who is patient they will become very cuddly and loyal additions to your family. Type of household desired: One without dogs would be ideal. And someone who is used to previous strays would be good too. Health: Has some dental issues but other than that healthy and up to date on shots. Additional: we have supplies we can provide like litter box, food, etc.

Story
Juniper is a playful young cat who loves to be involved in whatever you like to do. Need a kitchen supervisor? A craft buddy? Someone to follow you to the bathroom? She’s your girl. She’s very affectionate and outgoing. Juniper has not met a toy she does not like! Her favorites are wand toys and mice. She also loves chicken flavored treats and will eat almost any kind of wet food. Sometimes she can get overstimulated when being pet and might nibble a little so I think it’s best if she does not live with young kids. She does not get along with our other cat and she semi tolerates my family’s dog but you have to keep an eye on her. (She’s a bit of an instigator) That’s why I think she would do best as the only pet in the home and someone with cat experience.

Story
Meet Malibu & Daisy: The Dynamic Duo! Malibu and Daisy are an adorable bonded pair of 4-month-old kittens who are ready to bring joy and love to their forever home. These playful sisters are inseparable, always chasing each other around, pouncing, and sharing naps together. Though a bit shy at first, once they warm up, their sweet and affectionate personalities shine through, making them the perfect companions. They would thrive best in a calm, dog-free, and child-free home where they can take their time to adjust and show off their loving, playful nature. If you're looking for double the fun and love, Malibu and Daisy are the perfect match!
