My story

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

Meet Bibs!

Bibs was previously living as part of an established cat colony, but he came to TCR when neighbors of the colony caretakers began to complain about the number of cats in the neighborhood. Bibs grew up relying on people for food, so he is no stranger to humans. Bibs is a funny little cat who *really* wants to be friendly but still can be just a bit skeptical of humans. You'll often find him dancing around just out of arm's reach... until he trusts you, then he is easy to pet, pick up, and handle.

Bibs is not shy when it comes to mealtimes, and he will let you know when he is hungry! He can be bribed easily with Churu treats and other yummy snacks. This will be a great way for any future adopter to weasel into his heart. He is still learning to trust humans enough to let his guard fully down to play, but we think once he is totally comfortable, he will be zooming all over the place.

Bibs enjoys other cats and would do best being adopted along with one of the cats from his colony, or into a home with another welcoming cat that he can be friends with. We think that Bibs could do well in a home with older, cat-savvy, and patient kiddos, but very young or loud kids might be a bit too much.

Bibs is estimated to be about two years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Are you looking for a beautiful and quirky little guy? Consider Bibs!

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Typically we talk a little with potential adopters to find a cat who is a good fit before sharing the application.

2.
Approve Application

We check over the application including checking vet references and doing landlord checks.

3.
Interview

We spend more time chatting with the adopters to specifically go over any questions from the application and details about the specific cat.

4.
Meet the Pet

Potential adopters have a meet and greet with the cat or kitten in the foster home.

5.
Sign Adoption Contract

At the meet and greet, if all goes well, the adoption contract can be signed, the fee can be paid, and the pet can go home!

6.

7.

Additional adoption info

We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

More about this rescue

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.

Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
