My story

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

Name:  Rusty
DoB: 9/22/24
Adoption Fee: $140

Meet the adorable Rusty and his four equally charming brothers: Jorge, Gary, Steve, and Felix! These five kittens are a bundle of playful energy and affectionate cuddles. Raised indoors in a loving family setting and fostered alongside other cats, they're incredibly well-socialized and comfortable around people and other animals. Although not housed with a dog, we believe they would be fine with a proper introduction to a cat friendly dog.  Each kitten possesses a unique personality, but they all share a common love for snuggling up close and engaging in enthusiastic playtime with toys. Imagine the joy of welcoming one (or more!) of these sweethearts into your home. They're all ready to find their forever families and bring endless purrs and playful antics to your life.

Neuter, current on vaccines, FELV/FIV neg, wormed and ready for a forever home.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
A  volunteer will review your application and contact you ONLY if you are  approved or if further clarification is required.  We will make every  attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of  application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received.  
Please  understand that by answering the questions does not guarantee the  adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet.
FTCR  adopts to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a  first-come, first-served basis.  If you currently own a pet or have a  history of pet ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed.  Preference is given to applications with prior pet experience and vet references.  
We are an all-volunteer organization, and regret that we do not have the resources to contact applicants that are not approved.  Please do not contact us to check on the status of your application - it just slows down our ability to process applications.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
-  We ask for your patience as we review your application.FTCR  receives several each day and cannot respond to every one individually.
-  Approved applicants are based on best fit, not first submitted.  FTCR  RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT, so please  understand that it is within our discretion to make those decisions on  behalf of our animals.
Keep in mind that  we depend 100% on volunteers, most of whom have full-time jobs, so we  ask for your understanding as we do the best we can in the endless  effort to find homes for these deserving animals!
WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER,  ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE IN ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS HOME.

More about this rescue

Once upon a time there lived a group of loyal, sincere, and trustworthy women. Their collective spirits sought to come to the aid of abandoned, unwanted, abused, and lost felines. They wanted to give these beautiful, if sometimes scruffy, creatures a new beginning. They showed the kitties love to heal their broken hearts, patience to learn to trust, and healing medicine to make them well. The women knew that their quest could not stop here for there were just too many kitties to care for all on their own. What were they to do?
They thought and thought and thought some more. Until one day, the women realized what they were meant to be! Faerie Cat Mothers who could light the way for felines to find the homes they were meant to be in. Now, the women were filled with hope once again! They all passionately agreed they could continue to offer the once forgotten kitties something their hearts had always longed for. That is, a place to call home.
Faerie Tales Cat Rescue is committed to placing felines in loving adoptive homes. Our shared vision is to help kitties and their families have their dreams come true.
And they all lived Happily Ever After....

We are a small, dedicated group of animal lovers who are working hard attempting to place neglected, abused, lost and otherwise homeless kitties. Our goal is to provide to as many kitties as possible, opportunities to find a loving home to call their own. We are very concerned about the ever growing over population of kitties and are diligent in our efforts to promote the spay and neuter of felines.
We are an all breed rescue and work as a no kill group. All of our fosters are located in private foster homes as we are not a shelter. We are a very young group forming in June 2005, however all of our volunteers have years of rescue experience, countless contacts as well as a wealth of knowledge in caring for our furry four-legged companions.
We work closely with veterinary clinics who provide low cost spay/neuters as well as affordable vaccinations. All of our rescues will be fully vetted, combo tested for FIV and Felv and fecal checked prior to any adoption.
Additionally, all of our kitties will either be altered or a refundable deposit will be required to those kittens not yet able to be altered. As with all rescues, we operate on a shoestring budget and donations are always welcome. Every penny we are able to raise is applied toward helping save one of our kitties.
Additionally, we are also always in need of loving foster homes. Fostering gives these kitties the time they need to grow big enough to be adopted or time to heal. Fostering is an integral part of our success. Without foster homes we are unable to help these kitties. If you think you have a little space email or telephone us. It can be a wonderful, rewarding experience.
