My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sassy (Sassafras) is adorable and full of personality. This beautiful orange tiger is coming along nicely and lately has made even more strides. Her foster owner can approach her and she doesn’t run away. She enjoys being petted and purrs easily. She likes to sleep on the bed and cuddle with other cats. She has the sweetest little mew that still sounds like a tiny kitten. She also squints her eyes in kind of a funny way; at first it was to say she was angry, but now it’s just a habit, as she isn’t angry anymore.

The back story: WAG has a wonderful volunteer who helps us with all things kitten: she’ll take pregnant mothers, mothers with young kittens, or even orphan kittens and do a great job with them. This volunteer also rescues feral cats on her own (WAG isn’t set up to handle feral cats): for true ferals, she does trap-neuter-release. But for young kittens who can still be turned into house cats, this volunteer spends months getting them to be trusting, loving companions.

This last summer, she took in about 15 kittens. Some came along quickly and have already been placed, but she still has 6 left. They are all at the point now where they would benefit from being in homes of their own. As our volunteer also needs to move, WAG has agreed to help her, so we need to place these kittens as soon as possible.

The kittens are all about 8 months old, and all have been spayed or neutered and have been tested for Feline Leukemia, FIV, and FIP, treated for parasites, and vaccinated. For some of them, we are willing to relax our indoor-cat- only rule. We’re also reducing our adoption fee to $25 per kitten.

They have been worked with a lot, but all will need weeks to adjust to a new home and people, and all still have a ways to go to completely come out of their shells so will need patience and effort on the parts of their new owners to bring them to their full potential. They are all currently happily living in a house. They are used to other cats, and we think they all would be fine with a mellow dog. No young kids.

Sassafras, Reggie, Rita, and Dante: These are four kittens from a litter of five that came from behind an old liquor store. Our volunteer was not able to catch the mother, unfortunately, and she is still living down there. One kitten has already found a home.

WAG only accepts applications from New Hampshire residents and from residents of communities in Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts that are on the New Hampshire border.
