My story

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

Rufus is one kitten in a sibling group of six kittens from West Philadelphia. Initially brought in with his mother, the decision was made to separate the kittens from mom due to her complex medical needs and her inability to continue nursing. All six kittens were bottle fed from one week old until they were weaned at 4-5 weeks old. Bottle kittens need extensive care including bottle feedings, help with going potty, and cleaning. They become attached to their fosters as they are completely reliant on human care. These kittens are very loving, cuddly, and want to be around you all the time. These kittens have lived with a dog and several older cats in their foster. They are funny love to play. They want a home where they will be a part of the family. It would be wonderful if adopted with a sibling.

Out of all the kittens, Rufus was the smallest. In the past month, he has made significant gains and is the appropriate weight for his age. He is a very sensitive kitten and will need a very kind and living home.

Rufus Cherry, Jr. is around 3 months old and is neutered, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained.

It is Project MEOW's policy that kittens are either adopted with another cat or kitten, or go to a new family that already has a cat or kitten for companionship.

Adoption fee: $125 (plus tax)

Cats aged 1-10 years old: $100 + 8% sales tax = $108

* You must be 18 or older to adopt. If you’re under 18, you must have a parent or guardian submit an application on your behalf.
* All cats must be kept indoors. In special circumstances, we may waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis.
* We do not adopt to any home that will declaw an animal. Declawing is cruel and unnecessary.
* All cats/kittens must be spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
* Kittens under 6 months must be adopted in pairs or into a home with another active cat or cat-friendly dog.
* Your adoption fee helps to cover a small part of the costs of veterinary care. However, we strongly recommend that you take your new kitty to your vet for a check-up shortly after adopting to establish a relationship and a lifetime of regular check-ups and care.
