My story

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

Oona (fairy from the movie Legend) and her brother Navarre are the sweetest pair. 

Oona had to have an eye surgically removed due to an infection when she was a kitten. She is used to her visual impairment and doesn't let it impact her activity at all.  She navigates the world with confidence and grace. She had her name before losing the eye. (Oona.. uno lol) The loss of her eye adds to her sweetness and charm. Looks like she's always winking at you.

Oona doesn't put herself forward as much as Navarre but enjoys petting, brushing, and calm play. She gets bored of playing a little faster then Navarre and will then calmly retreat to a nice spot to nap. When she wants love she will follow you and jump up on the bed or the couch and paw at the air and do a type of whisper meow asking you to please pet her. She likes scritches, rubs, and butt pats. No place is off limits for some pets. She does let you pick her up but it's not her favorite. A perfect lady while getting her nails done and even does a bath without much fuss. Her litter box habits are perfect. 

This bonded pair of Maine Coon Mixes live up to the name of gentle giants.  Sweet and friendly, they enjoy playing with people or just chilling.  Their fur is luxuriously soft and has a silky texture that makes them much lower maintenance for grooming than most long haired cats, i.e. brushing is a fun bonding activity vs. a mandatory daily chore. Oona and Navarre are very calm: friendly towards other cats, good with children, and would likely do well with well-behaved dogs (they aren't bothered by their foster's Corgi).

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.
