My story

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

Amber will melt your heart and add endless laughter and joy to your home! She came to Fancy Cats with a group of her siblings. She is an active puppy who loves playing with toys, running around with the resident dogs, and getting cuddles. With some hound in her background, she especially enjoys spending time in the yard sniffing everything she can find.

When she's indoors, Amber likes to play with a variety of toys. She is teething but can be easily redirected if she starts chewing something that she shouldn't. As a typical puppy, she also enjoys napping between her zoomies.

Amber is working on house training. She is good at going on doggy pee mats in the house and is working on going exclusively outside. She is also getting used to sleeping in her crate at night.

Amber does well with the two resident adult dogs and two cats in the home. As a puppy, consistent socialization and training will be key to set her up for success.

Amber is ready to go to her forever home! She is a goofy sweetheart who will reward you with lots of love and puppy kisses.

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.
