My story

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

THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTIONG OPAL PLEASE CONTACT MARY @ kkat8508@gmail.com

Meet Opal, the purr-fect feline companion with a tail-tastic tale to tell! This charming kitty is no stranger to adventure, having leaped into her rescuer's arms in a dramatic feline fashion. Abandoned and starving on the streets, Opal's rags-to-riches story will touch your heart.

Opal is a connoisseur of comfort, with a penchant for laundry baskets and cardboard boxes. She's an easy-to-please kitty, always ready to lend a helping paw while her foster mom tackles work at the desk. Watch out for her keyboard acrobatics – this cat knows how to make work a little more paw-some!

While Opal may have a mysterious past, she's ready to embrace the love she deserves. A little cautious about touches on the back of her neck, this resilient furball adores gentle chin rubs. Despite her past hardships, Opal is a social butterfly who enjoys being the queen of the petting session. She'll let you know when she's had enough, though – a true kitty with a voice of her own!

Opal is on the prowl for a quiet and relaxed forever home where she can feel safe and adored. While she might prefer to be the solo star, she can coexist with other cats from a distance, engaging in a playful game of chase.

At approximately 6 years old, Opal is fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed, and even boasts a dazzling dental record. A healthy heart and a mild heart murmur add a touch of uniqueness to this extraordinary feline.

Ready to welcome Opal into your heart and home? Don't miss out on the chance to make this delightful kitty a part of your family. Adopting Opal means inviting a bundle of joy, charm, and purr-sonality into your life. Hurry, before someone else snatches up this gem of a cat!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1) View pets online

2) Submit application for the pet of your choice. FYI: The application process is not meant to be an invasion of privacy but a tool to help us find out if one of our pets would fit happily into your home and lifestyle. We spend a lot of time and funds to get to know our dogs and cats and your application helps set both you and them up for a successful adoption. CLICK HERE FOR APPLICATION.

3) Meet the dog or cat: By appointment only. If your application is approved, you will be contacted to arrange to meet the pet at a convenient time. We ask that everyone who will be living with the pet attend the meeting. Also, if you have an existing dog, for a dog we might ask that you bring him/her along for an introduction.

4) Home check: While a home visit is required prior to final placement, it does not guarantee adoption. We like to see where our pets will be living to make sure that they will be in a safe and secure environment. Often we can help with unforeseen health risks and help secure yards and fences that first time owners might miss.

5) Adoption contract: The adoption contract is a binding agreement between the adopter and our rescue group. If, for any reason, the adoption of one of our pets DOES NOT work out, you MUST return the animal to The Rescue Train. We are always here for our animals, no matter what.

6) Tax deductible donation. There is a minimum tax deductible donation of $250 per dog and $125 per cat. Each pet is spayed/neutered, vaccinated*, and microchipped. In most cases, we have already spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on vet bills, boarding and training for each pet. The donation helps us recoup a small fraction of that cost.

*In the case of puppies and kittens, additional rounds of shots might be required.

Many dogs that come to us need training. We are one of the few groups that obedience train the majority of our rescue dogs. Our intensive training program would cost the average pet owner hundreds of dollars. Part of our $250 dog adoption agreement, for dogs who require training, is that their adoptive parents have a mandatory free private training session before the dog can go home.

7) Delivery of your new family member: We come with education and helpful hints to help things go smoothly and take the guess work out of what to expect when bringing your new pet home. Each pet has a team of people behind him/her and we are here to be a support system if you should need us.
