My story

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

Lady is incredibly sweet, gentle and loving. She's not shy and will quickly trust you. She's very laid-back and enjoys staring out of the window during the day, but she has a very energetic, playful side, as well. She loves chasing the laser (especially if it leads to a treat!), but chasing wand toys is her favorite. If you leave a shoestring laying about, she will bring it to you when she wants to play. She's played fetch a couple of times (before the kittens take control over the toy) and can even play hide and seek! She is very smart…she often seems to understand what you're saying and will respond to you. She follows directions well, too.  

Lady chirps when she wants your or her kittens' attention, and will place her paw on your leg to remind you that she's still waiting. She'll stand on her hind legs and make biscuits on your leg when she wants you to pick her up. If you pat your legs and call her, she'll come to you. Lady absolutely LOVES when she's pampered. You can see the pure joy in her face and hear her loud purrs and trills as she's receiving gentle face or paw massages, head and chin scratches, and long pets down her back and tail. She enjoys being brushed, and is not opposed to you rubbing her belly. She also loves to be carried and receive hugs and kisses. 

Lady uses her litter box very well; however, clumping litter would not be advised as she immediately breaks up the clumps, causing it to get stuck in her claws. She is very frightened of the vacuum and even remains jumpy for a bit after it's off and no longer in sight.

Lady loves running and tumbling around with her kittens, so having a fellow cat buddy for her to play with would be best. She is very motherly and gets along best with kittens or cats that are smaller than she is. She can be adopted with one of her kittens, as well (Pleakley or Scrump).

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.
