My story

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

Hello, my name is Gaia, and I am about 11 months old. Can I tell you my story? It's a short story because I'm a young gal but my foster Mom says my story is going to continue because I have a family out there waiting for me.

I was found as a stray, and I had a HUGE belly. I had babies in my belly, and they were ready to meet the world. Can you believe a young gal like me having babies? I was only 5-6 months old. Just a baby myself. But just because my belly was big - I wasn't. See, I must of been on my own for quiet awhile. I was really skinny. My whole body was bones except my belly.

When I got settled in my foster home and sure enough, out came my 7 babies. I had no idea what I was doing and was so grateful my Rescuers helped me. My kittens were very small and sadly, some didn't make it. My Rescuers knew I was struggling to be a Mama and so they took over.

I then got to be a young kitty girl; not a Mama and you know what? I love it! I love being able to have some take care of me and I get to roam around the house. In my foster home I have other cats and dogs I get to play with.

I love to hang out in a cat tree or look out a window. But my favorite spot is where my foster Mom is. I love it when she's on the computer and I lie by her. She gives me an occasional belly rub. But watch out! I like to sit on the keyboard. Maybe I'm sending a message to you?

I also love to enjoy your food. Maybe it's because I was SO emaciated (minus the big baby belly) I love food. I like to share the mealtime with my foster Mom. She knows I love chicken but might seem silly, but I also love butter. Butter on toast or bagel - kitty de-li-cious!

I can't wait for my family to come meet me. I love to be held and if you have kitty treats - I'm hooked! Remember chicken is my favorite.

Let's have a play date so we can start our friendship!

Thanks,

Gaia

Additional adoption info

To get started in adopting: Please fill out our adoption application and after reviewing our foster family will set up a meet & greet; if applicable. An adoption application link can be found in each Treasured Gems (adoptable pets) profile.
• Spay/neuter before adoption. If under 16 weeks, it will be coordinated with Adoptive family at one of our Rescue affiliated Veterinarian clinics. Treasured Animal Rescue MUST spay/neuter within 30 days of adoption date per the State of Illinois Animal Welfare Act (25 ILCS 605 Section 25.140
• Microchip and registration with HomeAgain. TAR has registered all microchips for our adoptable’s, and family's will be given a transfer form.
• Initial de-worming, flea & tick prevention/treatment (see note below) and heart worm prevention
• Age-appropriate testing for heartworm/FIV-FELV
• Age-appropriate vaccines
• Wellness check exam
**Note on fleas** Those sneaky little critters can hitch a free ride into your home aboard another pet, person, or even rodent, so it is important to make sure your new pet is protected. Depending on the time frame your adoptable pet has been in our foster care it might have had just 1 dose – which is not enough. Please consult with your Vet on putting your new adoptable pet on yearly flea/tick prevention – even if they are an indoor pet.

Adoption fees:

Puppies/Dogs - $400
Seniors - $275

**Some dog breeds require additional vetting which leads to an adoption fee to not adhere to the pricing guideline above. There are many circumstances where an adoptable pet has an adoption fee that varies from above schedule due to their vetting needs while in our foster care.

Cats & Kittens - $150

**Treasured Animal Rescue highly recommends adopting kittens in pairs, to avoid any potential behavioral issues like biting, scratching and not using the litter box. Also, adopting 2 kittens lessens stress on the tiny kitten which provides a healthier transition. **

Go meet their pets

All our Treasured Gems are located in our foster homes. The location is noted in their individual profiles. We do not have a facility or shelter for meetings. Treasured Animal Rescue is not able to adopt out of the State of Illinois. Puppy/kitten adoptions must be close to our current Vet Clinics due to their spay/neutering. A Volunteer can advise of our Vet Clinic locations.

In each of our foster pets profiles it will state if they are good with dogs, cats or children. Please note what we experience in our foster home may differ completely in a potential Adopters homes. A TAR foster parent can give much insight on their foster pet as they live in their home just like their own pets.

More about this rescue

Treasured Animal Rescue is a 100% foster based, non-profit animal rescue dedicated to help animals that face a homeless situation for no fault of their own. Animals that are placed in high-kill shelters, abandoned or are given up by their owners; Treasured Animal Rescue seeks out these animals and places them in our dedicated, loving foster homes. We provide these unfortunate souls vet care while our Volunteers diligently search for their forever homes.

Treasured Animal Rescue is a “no-kill” Rescue and there are no limits to any breed, age or an animal’s health limitations. When an animal is in need of rescue; Treasured Animal Rescue is there to assist an animal in need or when a home owner faces the dilemma of giving up their beloved pet.

As our dedicated Volunteers search the endless paths at the shelters seeing the animals marked “URGENT”, some may see sadness, despair and hopelessness but Treasured Animal Rescue sees a “Diamond Soul”. We see an unfortunate soul that deserves a loving home and we will give that poor animal every opportunity to reach that destiny.

All animals deserve a loving home. We believe that underneath the sadness, despair and hopelessness; every animal has a "Diamond Soul" that is pure, beautiful and has an inward treasure. Treasured Animal Rescue helps all animals show the world the brilliance that shines from their loving souls.
