My story

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

Meet Hope, the cat whose beauty is only surpassed by her boundless affection once you gain her trust!

Hope’s piercing blue eyes are a window to her loving and sassy soul. Not only is Hope a clean cat, but she’s also incredibly smart – she’s even figured out how to open sliding doors to be with her favorite person. In addition to your attention, her favorite things are playing and stretching adorably on the floor before settling down for a nap.

Hope needs a patient and quiet home. She’s made great progress overcoming her fear of hands, but because of her background, she can take a month or more to start trusting a new person. Hope also prefers the company of trusted humans over the company of cats and does not hesitate to make other cats aware of this. She would do well with an experienced cat owner or owners who are willing to give her time and space to adjust and recover, and who aren’t put off by periodic cattitude or “spiciness.”

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteer

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.

More about this rescue

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.
