My personality

My story

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

We have a Princess named Duchess! Spice girl. Super affectionate to humans,
but won't allow any cat to share in getting lap time. She is a character, who wants when she
wants. As long as you can scruff her she is easy to medicate with a syringe.
She needs a home without other cats because she demands undivided human
attention and is not friendly to cats or dogs. Sweet girl, likes to be on your lap
but can get overly playful and mistake your hands for a toy. Spayed,
vaccinated, and microchipped. House-trained. She is a tiny female, a young
Tuxedo and FIV-pawsitive. She weaned from her 4 kittens a few months ago. She is
friendly and affectionate. It would be great if she could be adopted with one of
her kittens who are FIV negative. Please fill out an application form on our website. Priority is given to those applications. https://www.duetteanimalrescueteam.org/online-adoption-application. The adoption fee is a donation to our rescue, and the amount is at your discretion. Manatee, Hillsborough, Sarasota, and Pinellas counties only. Thank you for caring.

More about this rescue

We founded the Duette Animal Rescue Team (DART) in 2020 in Manatee County. DART is a volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing former domestic and exotic pets such as prosimians and cats with behavioral challenges. We learned about the plight for exotic pets held in captivity and lack of understanding of the care they need as wild animals. We support causes that advocate for the conservation of these species in the wild in their native countries. By working with a network of zo's, private owners, zoo staff volunteer advocates, foster caregivers, local veterinarians, trainers, and shelters,
DART strives to rescue animals and provide these animals with behavioral rehabilitation and care. We catch cats to assist with the management of stray cat overpopulation in the community. We rehabilitate the cats so that we can put them up for adoption and have a better quality of life. For example, cat litter box training and socialization.
