Story
Hexe is really sweet and gentle. She was a stray kitten in Los Angeles and we took her in and then moved her to Omaha with us when we finished college. Her name means “witch” in German and her birthday is in October. She’s a great, spooky girl! She is a little older, about 9 and is looking for someone to give her pets on the couch. She’s not aggressive with children, but is pretty stand-off ish with them. She might do better in a house with older kids who can play gently with her. We need to find her a new home due to our toddler’s allergies. No behavior issues.

Story
I adopted Mitch from the NE. Humane Society in 2015. He was 3 months old. I just found out he’s diabetic & needs medication which I cannot afford. (I also found out he’s got bad teeth as well). 2 years ago he had a rabies shot & also, apparently, got an infection in his right ear (I think my other cat bit him)—- that’s why he has that ‘cauliflower’ ear now. He’s VERY SHY… he has been this way for 10 years…BUT, this is the SWEETEST cat I have ever loved (I’ve had cats in my life for 60 years). He would love to have another playful cat to play with… he loves to play. My other cat has never wanted to bond with him & I have no idea why since I brought them home the same day. I would love to find a loving home & who can afford diabetes medicine because this cat has such a beautiful soul… so gentle & loving!!!!

Story
Yuki was born May 2023.  He is friendly with other cats, strangers and kids of all ages (including babies).  He's been around dogs and did okay,  He would love to be in a house where he has some space to spend time outdoors. The suggested adoption donation for Yuki is $85, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Please Note:  A Courtesy Post designates that an animal is still in the home of its owner and not in a Muddy Paws foster. This means that our exposure to the animal is limited since we are only assisting the owner in finding a new home for their pet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue and there is a delay in removing them from our site. We apologize if the Courtesy Post you apply to adopt is unavailable for adoption. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases) during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months. To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you.  Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $100 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost.  If the dog or cat is younger than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice.  If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses.  [Muddy Paws can also suggest a vet with a reduced cost for alters.]  All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age.  All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized.  Thank you in advance for your compliance. ##2514176##

Story
Torta is a young cat (born appx December 2024).  She's very timid and feels most comfortable in her kennel.  She is starting to warm up to her surroundings in her foster home.  Torta doesn't get upset when her foster mom gets close to her to give her food, so she just needs to be around caring people who will be very patient until she learns what being part of a family is all about.  If you have room in your home and your heart to teach this little one about love, please submit an application now! The suggested adoption donation for Torta is $75 or 2 for $125, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).

Story
This is Drax, born in 2019.  He is a guy that knows what he likes!  Drax seems to prefer women and would probably be okay with another friendly cat.  He gets along with kids - he's just a little shy around people until he has a chance to warm up.  Drax will probably hide until he has a chance to adjust to his new surroundings.  If you're looking for a calm adult cat that is litterbox trained, Drax might be the guy for you! The suggested adoption donation for Drax is $85, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
