My story

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

Gretel-Turkish Van X female, 1-2 yr (June 2023)
Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for application for adoption.
Gretel was rescued by a Humane Society in a small rural community. She and other cats lost their owner, who died. Then the house burned and they were abandon on the property. Now in a foster home and looking forward to having her own family soon. Her foster home says she's an incredibly sweet cat. "Gretel is a great gal looking for her forever family, she has grey markings on the top of her head. Gretel loves being brushed, relaxing beside you or in the sunshine, and enjoys receiving affection. Gretel would love to bring her joy to her forever family."
Gretel is a happy gal and always has purrs at the ready. She loves receiving affection and being part of the family group whether it's observing or participating, she likes watching bird videos on your phone, and stealing hair ties to play with.
She's learning to be friends with us, now that she's safe and is just a gorgeous big girl. She's also good with other cats and knows dogs.
Gretel's adoption fee is $150 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Include your location and a phone number for future communication.

Their adoption process

Please request an application via email. Please allow 24 hours for a response.

2.
Approve Application

Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we will contact you to arrange a meeting with our pets.

3.
Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

Visit our pets at a Meet and Greet adoption event. Approved adopters will be able to adopt that day.

4.
Sign Adoption Contract

We will review the medical records and contract. The adoption fee is cash only.

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to request an application from rescuebc@hotmail.com. Please allow 1-2 days to receive the application. Please be patient as we are 100% volunteer supported. We will need several days to make the calls on your application. The current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and annual exams, and currently on heartworm preventative for dogs. You must be 21 years of age and gainfully employed.
Once you are approved, a volunteer will contact you and invite you to a Meet and Greet to visit with a pet. All our pets are fostered in private homes and only come to the event when they have a potential adopter.
Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the Meet and Greet. It takes time to unload our pets and give them an opportunity to relieve themselves. You will have time to visit with a pet to decide if this is the right pet for your family. You will be required to sign a legal contract and we will go over the medical records with you. You will be required to take your new pet to the vet within 7 days of adopting.
We charge an adoption fee for all of our animals. This fee varies depending on the vetting requirements of that particular animal. The adoption fee is cash only.
If you have any questions, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com.
