My personality

My story

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

Rooster is a cat-friendly sweet boy; we don't know about dogs. He's 10 years old, FIV+, and on medication for hyperthyroidism for the next few months. Our veterinarian was pleased with his most recent blood test.

Please consider making this affectionate boy part of your family. We've marked him as Special Needs because he's on medication for the next few months.

~ FIV is a retrovirus that compromises a cat's immune system.
~ FIV is a feline-only virus that cannot be transmitted to humans.
~ Cats who test positive for FIV can live for many years without serious symptoms.
~ An FIV+ test result is not a death sentence.
~ FIV is most often transmitted through a bite from an infected cat, therefore, cats who test positive for FIV CAN live with FIV- cats with minimal risk of transmission as long as they do not fight to the point of biting.

Our adoption process: Prospective adopters must be at least 25 years old and live in Connecticut. You meet the cat(s) you’re interested in (we’re a foster-based organization and our cats are in several locations). If after meeting the cat(s) you want to proceed to adoption, we will email our application to you; please return it within 48 hours. We call the animal hospitals you’ve used in the last five years for a reference and do a home visit by video chat.

If you’re approved, you sign an adoption contract, we email the cat’s/cats’ medical paperwork to you and we meet at the PetSmart adoption center for you to pick up the cat(s) and receive a coupon booklet from PetSmart. The adoption fee is $250 per cat and must be paid in cash; this includes but isn’t limited to, spay or neuter, vaccinations, worming, flea/tick prevention, and microchip.

Additional adoption info

The Queenie Foundation runs a cat rescue/adoption program in the greater Hartford, CT area. We believe that one way to stop overpopulation is to place animals only after they've been sterilized. Our fosters are fully vetted before they’re ready to go home. All you add is love!

Occasionally, The Queenie Foundation posts animals who are available for adoption through other organizations or individuals, as a courtesy. If you have found an animal in whom you are interested who is not a Queenie Foundation cat, we invite you to contact the group or person whose information appears in the body of the profile. They can tell you all you need to know about the animal.

Requirements for adopting a cat: You must be a Connecticut resident and be at least 25 years old. You will fill out a Companion Animal Guardian History, provide the name and phone number of all the animal hospitals you've used in the last three years for a reference plus agree to a home visit via video chat. If you are approved, you sign an adoption contract and we email the cat's medical records to you. The adoption fee is $250 per cat (to be paid in cash) which includes, but is not limited to, spay or neuter, vaccinations, worming, and microchip.

Go meet their pets

The Queenie Foundation places cats in Connecticut, ONLY. You can meet our foster cats at the Manchester, CT PetSmart adoption center Monday - Saturday, 9 - 9 and Sundays, 10 - 7. Please contact us at 860 649 4488 or queniefound@hotmail.com to make an appointment to meet them. You can request to meet the cat in whom you're interested IF there's a volunteer on duty in the adoption center. Knock on the door and request to meet the cat.

We have cats in foster homes, also, so if you don't see a cat at PetSmart who appeals to you, please contact us to inquire about these cats.
