My personality

My story

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

1) READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION
2) ALL FAQS ANSWERED HERE & ON OUR WEBSITE
3) APPLICATION REQUIRED (link at the end)

Well I have been at my foster home for a while now waiting for my new family to come and meet me, and my brother Ares, and take us home. I know that when you see how handsome I am you will want to immediately take me home, but I have to share some things about me first.

I am an expert high jumper and can even do some mid-air flips when I am playing with my favorite wand toys. The other kittens know to stand back because I can get pretty wild when I play. I like having my foster mom play with my toys with me so I can show her how fast I can run and how high I can jump. I like to explore and check out what is going on in other areas of my foster home to see what kind of hidden treasures I can find, like perhaps some boiled chicken!

I am also quite the talker! I will let you know if I'm unhappy with something or require more attention by looking directly at you and belting out a meow! And if that doesn’t get your attention I will repeat myself. Something that really makes me happy is getting belly rubs. I will let you know when I am ready by stretching out and rolling over. You can then start with the belly rubs while I purr peacefully.

I can be opinionated when it comes to meeting new cats, and sometimes new people. Friendships are not forced and good friendships take time to establish. So, keep this in mind when we meet. Just give me some time to approach you and see if I want us to be friends. The same goes if I am being introduced to another cat, or perhaps a mellow cat savvy dog. Give us all time to get used to one another before you expect us to be best friends.

Right now my best friend is my brother Ares, and Ares and I need to be adopted together. With all of the changes that could be in my future it will be nice knowing that one thing will be constant…and that is my brother Ares. Ares and I are a package deal and we are hoping that the perfect family is out there that will want to take us both home and give us the best life possible.

****HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RESCUES/SHELTERS****

***WHY MISSION MEOW IS BEST TO ADOPT FROM:***

***Complete Information
You get to speak directly to the foster family who have the kittens in their care!
No one knows the kittens better than the people who have had them for the last several weeks or more. They will give you full details as to personality, background, quirks, likes/dislikes, ETC. Since adopting a pet is a commitment for the next 15-20 years, you want as much information as possible to make the best decision.

***Private, quiet meet & greets
You get to visit the kittens in their own current environment where they run free so their true personality shines through. Our kittens aren’t subjected to noisy stores and stressful cages and you won’t be competing with other annoying people for your desired kittens.

***Quality over Quantity
We are a small rescue so we can focus on each kitten individually to provide personalized medical & socialization protocols. Because we do not overcrowd, our cats do not pass contagious diseases to each other.

***Veterinary Care
We balance a mix of holistic & conventional protocols to keep our kittens healthy. We use high quality disease preventatives & medication when necessary. Mission Meow only wants the best medical care for our kittens, so we don’t skimp on those costs AT ALL. We work closely with our vet to come up with a plan for any kittens who may be ill and to prevent any unnecessary and over medicating. Three local veterinarians have adopted from us after observing the quality of our kittens.

***Food
Our kittens are nourished with high-quality food. We ‘ve been offered free /discounted food from other companies but we choose to use the best option even if it costs more for us.

***Resident Pet/Child Safety
While no one can guarantee the health of any living being, we do our best to make sure your adopted kitten does not have any issues such as parasitic worms that can be passed on to your resident pets or children. We have a very thorough deworming protocol using the best products on the market and the proper duration. Most places adopt kittens while they are in between showing signs of intestinal worms. Not us.

***Post Adoption Support
It is extremely rare that we have any issues post adoption, but if there were any that presented themselves, we would work with you towards a resolution. We pride ourselves on the one-on-one relationships we build with our adopters.

_____________________________________________________

*****ADOPTION LOCATION:*****

By private appointment in Rocklin/Roseville/Lincoln/Citrus Heights/Auburn CA area, or at Bark Avenue Rocklin
______________________________________________________

*****ADOPTION PROCESS:*****

APPLICATION:
Please contact us and we will send you an online application. A response is usually given with 24-48 hrs. if we think it's a potentially good match.

INTERVIEW:
An adoption counselor will contact you via phone to answer any questions and if it seems like a good fit, arrangements will be made for all parties to meet with desired cat(s) at a mutually agreeable time.

APPROVAL:
If adoption is approved, a contract and adoption fee to cover veterinary costs will be required. You will be given medical files.

TIME FRAME:
Based on volunteer availability, it is possible for all adoption steps to be completed the same day, however, it is not guaranteed. Please note that occasionally a home check, vet records/references, etc may be required and multiple people may be interested in the same cat(s) so additional time may be necessary. You are also welcome to get the kitten an appointment with your own veterinarian at your expense prior to adoption, just be aware that may delay the adoption by several days.

WHY:
Our adoption vetting process ensures a proper feline fit for your family. You may be a wonderful pet owner but may not be the best fit for a particular cat, or other extenuating circumstances. Also, YOU may know you are a good pet owner, but we don't. We exist because too many people view pet ownership as casual or disposable so we want to be sure the best match is made for the next 15-20 years. Your patience and understanding as to where we are coming from are much appreciated. Our adoption process is also reflective of the extremely thorough medical protocol our kittens receive. Thank you!
