My personality

My story

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

Melanie is a beautiful 9-year-old medium haired tortoiseshell-tabby kitty looking for her forever home. Her favorite activities are looking out the window, laying in boxes, and chasing after toys. She also loves to try to eat people food, especially stroganoff and anything cheesy. Her fosters are honored that she likes their cooking!! But it is in Melanie's best interest to only eat cat food.

Melanie is a playful girl and an excellent jumper. She can jump up to every window in her foster house! She likes to play with toy mice, and play "soccer" with whiffle balls. She keeps her area very neat and tidy - despite being fluffy, she isn't a big shedder. And she gives the best headbutts! When she wants to show she loves you, she rubs up on your legs or gives a little 'bonk'. If you become one of her select favorite people, she'll sit on your lap too.

Melanie loves meeting new people, she's not one to hide. While she can be very sweet and affectionate, she doesn't usually like to be pet because she can become overstimulated. She gives clear warning signs when she wants to be left alone, but she will nip or smack if you don't respect her limits.

Before she was rescued, Melanie was left outside when her old family moved away. She has a severe flea allergy and needs to stay on flea preventative in her forever home. Melanie had full senior bloodwork done, and she is in great health.

Melanie is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org

Adoption fees are as follows: $155 for a single cat or kitten, $195 for a pair of cats or kittens. When adopting a cat from AHSEM the adoption includes spay or neuter surgery, age appropriate core vaccines, microchipping, combo tested (for FIV/FeLV), and basic wellness care including deworming and flea treatment.

Additional adoption info

AHSEM treats every adoption as "foster to adopt" This means that the first two weeks in which you have the cat is the "foster period." We do our best to ensure the right match for all involved and want to give the cat(s) time to decompress and adapt to their new environment. However, we realize sometimes things don't work out as expected. Therefore, during that two-week period, if something doesn’t work out you can bring the cat back. We will always take our cats back even after the "foster to adopt" period. We would hate to see them end up at a kill shelter, abandoned, or any other unsafe situation.
