My story

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

Currently located in: York, ME!
Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!)
Good with dogs: yes, they are good with curious dogs as long as they do not chase them
Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/
Good with kids: Yes, we think older kids may be better as these two are very scared and timid!
Litter box trained: Yes!
House trained: Yes!

Meet Willow & Oz!

Willow & Oz were found abandoned with their family. There was a mom, 2 neonatal babies, a dad, an uncle and 3 kittens. We believe Willow & Oz are a bonded Father/Daughter duo. They all were just left behind in an apartment after the tenants were evicted. They had no access to food or water, had to live in their own waste and clearly they were abused.

Willow & Oz are learning how to trust humans again. They are very timid and afraid, but slowly starting to come around. Willow is a bit more brave than her dad, but not very much! They both very much enjoy temptations treats! This father/daughter duo are often found huddled together for comfort. They really rely on each other and are pretty much glued together always!

Willow & Oz are going to need time, patiences and an adoptive family willing to give them the time to trust and love again. We estimate that Willow is about 5 months old and Oz is probably around a year old. They surprisingly are house trained and are completely adorable! You can pet them, but they are not excited about being held just yet.

If you think you are the right home for them, please apply to adopt them here:

All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped!

The adoption fee is $550 for the pair!

We do not accept deposits or the adoption fee until you have your new fur-members.

Please Note: All animals are posted until they are officially adopted. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly if you are interested.

We are very quick to respond and process applications! You will be required to provide 2 non family personal references, a home video tour and a vet reference if you’ve previously had animals. Please feel free to send video to our email or facebook upon submitting an application, this lets us know you are serious and ready but also helps us to get you approved quickly. We will text and or call upon receiving your application to schedule a phone interview.

You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose.

Interested in fostering? We would love to have you join our family! Fill out the same application above- we have our fosters go through the same process as adopters!

Questions? Please email whiskersfunds@gmail.com or message us on facebook!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

We are 100% foster based so we require any potential adopters to be fully approved to adopt with us before being allowed to do a meet/greet.

2.

Interview

Approx 45 min phone call, followed by 2 non family personal reference checks, and a vet check. Landlords are contacted for renters.

3.

Home Check

In addition to the above a full video submission of home tour is required to insure a safe and suitable home can be provided.

4.

Approve Application

Once approved, you never need to apply again- you are approved to adopt dogs or cats as we discuss both over our application regardless.

5.

Meet the Pet

Time/place set that works for both foster and adopter for a M/G.Intent for the adopter to bring the pet home if they want. We do not hold.

6.

Sign Adoption Contract

Set up on docusign, drafted by our lawyer. Animals must be returned to us should adopter ever need to rehome.

7.

Pay Fee

Once contract is signed and they are going to take the pet home they submit payment for the adoption fee and take the pet home!

Additional adoption info

We are extremely quick to respond to applications and have a system in place to be able to quickly and safely approve adopters. We are extremely transparent in our procedure and let people know they hold the timing on it. We will not call references until a home video is submitted to ensure they are serious. We provide an adoption bag for all animals including their favorite toys, current food and treats, microchip information (all animals are chipped with Smart Tag chips that are linked to WF and that information is not removable- we set up owners accounts in addition to this). All medical records are sent electronically to adopters so they can set pet up with a wellness visit to get them established at their vet and set up on preventatives! We also have a private facebook group adopters can join if they so choose and make sure litter mate adopters are connected if they so choose to be so they can all stay in touch! Kittens are adopted in pairs or home must have another young playful cat!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are 100% foster based across the entire US. We provide transport at no additional fee to the perfect home for our animals. 90% of our animals come from the south and we take them north to be adopted. We absolutely love to do meet and greets and approved adopters are put in touch with the fosters to set up a time and place that works best for everyone! We do allow approved adopters to commit and adopt before meeting but adopters do not pay the adoption fee until they have the animal.

More about this rescue

We are Whiskers Fund!

We are a dog and cat rescue in honor of Heather’s late heart kitty, Mr. Whiskers. Heather is the rescue founder, she worked in Veterinary Medicine for 15+ years. Because of her background in vet med Whiskers Fund is able to take on medical needs cases that most rescues cannot afford to or have the foster resources to do so. Heather comes from an aviation family and has used her flight benefits to fly animals for countless other rescues and Whiskers Fund to be adopted for over 15 years. She has since left vet med to pursue aviation as her main career with intent to become a pilot full time along with buying a private plane to help fly animals out of the south which gives local shelters and rescues without this resource more local adopters. Whiskers Fund will always put the animals needs first, we do not find animals for people. We find people for our animals. Whiskers Fund has saved countless parvo puppies, 11 Panleukopenia kitties, many three legged, one eyed, blind, deaf, and hind end paralyzed animals. We know that they are all deserving of being loved and have love to give no matter what. Whiskers Fund also helps our local TNR efforts and anyone we can to be able to help pets stay with their people if they have fallen on hard times. Our 501(c)(3) is underway!
