My personality

My story

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

Oh hello!  My name is Priddy Lane!  I’m a petite two year old black kitty with the most adorable white toes on one of my back feet—I think they help me stand out from the crowd.  Sometimes my foster mom calls me “Snowtoes” because of my unique little toes!

I’ve had quite the journey…one of BTKR’s trappers found me at a Starbucks, where I had kittens.  I was a good mama to my babies, but life was hard out there, and I was bullied a lot by the bigger cats.  I was pretty trap savvy and it took her a whole YEAR to trap me…she and my foster mom agree I am totally worth that long wait, and I’m so glad she never gave up on me!

When I first got rescued I was scared and hissy.  But my trapper, the lady who was feeding me, and my foster mom saw something in me, and they wanted me to have a chance at an indoor life.   Gradually I learned to start trusting and letting them pet me.  While I was at the rescue recovering from my spay, I caught a bad cold, and my foster mom brought me to her house to take care of me.  That was where I discovered that indoor life is a-MAZE-ing!!!!    

I am a foodie, and I LOVE wet food. Currently I’m on Nulo  Freestyle Turkey and Duck.  I also ADORE Churu treats! Food is a great way to build my trust.  I get really excited when my foster mom starts making dinner, and I love to rub against her legs to encourage her to open those cans quicker!  I like the kitchen in general, and I have an enduring obsession with the dishwasher—I LOVE to sit near my foster mom and watch her load and unload it!  So if you want a helper with dishwashing duty, I’ll be your cheerleader!  

You might notice in some of my photos that my nose is a tiny bit crooked.  I saw the vet and it turns out I have a deviated septum; the vet said it might make me more likely to get congested, but that unless it’s causing any serious issues it doesn’t require intervention.  Since I got to my foster home I haven’t had any congestion; my foster mom uses air purifiers, and I think just being inside away from all the pollen helps me!

I am learning how to play and connecting with my inner kitten!  I love ball track toys, and I ESPECIALLY love balls that I can chase around—that is the best! And I love toy catnip mice; my foster mom and I like to play with them together, and I bat at them like a tiny boxer.  I LOVE to be petted and I do the cutest little wiggle because I get so excited for pets.  I do NOT like being picked up at all, and I don’t seem to be a lap kitty.  I adore being brushed; when my foster mom takes the brush out I run over.  I love my spa days and being pampered!  I also really like treehouses, windows to look out of, and long naps in my favorite cozy chair.  
With other cats that are new to me, I can be a little hissy and swatty at first, probably because I had to defend myself so much outside, but with time I’ve made peace with the other kitties in my foster home.  If there are other cats in my new home, proper slow introductions are a must.  I think dogs would make me nervous, and I do need to be in a pretty quiet, calm home with adults only, or very gentle and calm older kids.  I need adopters who are patient, and willing to give me the time I need to warm up to them and feel safe in a new home.  It took a few weeks in my foster home for me to start really being myself.  

So that’s my story—it’s been a “Priddy” winding road (see what I did there?) but I am ready to find my forever family, and live the secure indoor life with them!  I hope you will come and meet me…Psst, bring some Churu 😉

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application to learn a bit about the home our cats will be going to and the family's motivation for adoption and expectations about pet ownership. We also have an adoption contract, which includes a no declawing and indoor-only clause along with a vet promissory note that ensures you will continue with the medical care and spay/neuter if needed.

We DO NOT do any out of state adoptions except on the NC border on a case-by-case basis.

We require a donation of $120 for adoption of unaltered kittens with a PTV Contract. All kittens receive vaccine series and wormings as well as medical treatment as needed. The adopter is responsible for obtaining their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter if the kitten is not of age at the time of adoption. We can provide resources for low cost clinics that offer these services.

We ask a donation of $25 to adopt Career/barn cats.

We require a donation of at least $140 for adoption of Spayed/neutered cat.

Bonded pairs adoption donation is $200.

Sometimes we require rental checks or home inspections. We always have a Meet n Greet to make sure everyone gets along. We encourage bringing the whole family!

Our heart is in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return of ferals), where cats are fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and allowed to live out their lives without reproducing. We are advocates for advancing legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads.
