My story

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

Do you want a cat to greet you loudly when you walk in the door? Look no further, I'm your man! After a long life with our original owner, my sister and I were left at the shelter when they couldn't take us with them when they moved. But I have no fear—I know my purrever home is out there and I will investigate until I find it!

I truly have no fear; I'm always exploring new areas and new perspectives from the house and will let you know when I've found something interesting. From the moment I landed in my foster home, I went right up to my foster parents to ask for affection, preferring that even over food and snacks.

I am a classic Siamese beauty, if I do say so myself, and enjoy when you take some time to appreciate and brush me to keep my coat in tip-top shape. Even though I'm a little small for a Siamese, I live up to the breed's reputation and am very social and loving. I love a nap in the sunshine and on a warm bed, and will happily follow you around the house chatting about your day (and mine).

I'm a sweet boy who just wants the finer things in life: a nice scratching post, a toasty bed, and all the face scratches you can come up with. My foster father says I'm a messy eater, but I want you to know how much I enjoy my wet food. And I'll let you know how happy I am as well, with a deep, rumbly purr ready at a moment's notice.

I really like having companion animals in the home. While I am unbothered by dogs, I would love a cuddly cat to share my space with.

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.
