My story

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

Hi everyone! My name is Georgie. I am a 9-month-old sweetheart. I was abandoned in the fall and a nice lady in the neighborhood brought me inside because I was not doing well and surely would not have made it in the freezing temperatures. When she took me to the vet to be neutered they learned that I am FELV+. I am not sure what that means, but I think it means I'm a very special boy!They gave me my shots and I am a very healthy kitty! I am gaining so much weight and getting to be such a big boy! I can be timid at first, but give me a kind hand and warm lap and I will be your best friend forever. My best buddy is my foster brother Beau, the bulldog. My foster mom says I must be an indoor only kitty and I would prefer a quiet home to keep my stress levels low, to help ensure my immune system stays healthy and strong. Do you think you could be my forever home? I have so much love to give ❤️ Thank you for reading my story🐾

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our fees are $50-$150 depending of the age of the kitty and the amount of vetting. Most of our adult kitties are $50, most of our kittens are $125-$150, which includes all shots, microchip and spay/neuter.

We will send you an application, once approved, we will schedule a playdate with the animal. We do require a home visit. The animal then goes on trial for a couple weeks to a month. We want to make sure the animal is a good fit for your family. Even after the trial period if you can not keep the animal at anytime we will take them back into our program.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster home based rescued. Therefore, the majority of our animals are in peoples homes. This is perfect for adopters who have very specific needs on the animal they adopt. We know our animals well, and what types of homes we feel they will thrive best.

More about this rescue

We specialize in healthy, fiv+ kitties. But do have other kitties in our program as well. Fiv is an immune deficiency which kitties get from fighting. Usually unneutered males fighting for territory, food sources and females. Once fixed and loved and fed daily the need to fight for these things disappears. Most of our fiv+ kitties are fostered with other non fiv kitties, and proven to be friendly.

There are lots of myths and misinformation about fiv. To simply it, an fiv kitty is a kitty with a lower immune system. If they get hurt or sick it could take them longer to heal. Fiv does not cause disease, it is a secondary issue of how your kitty will react to primary issue. Most fiv kitties die from geriatric issues without any more vet care than other kitties.
