My personality

My story

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

PLEASE READ

Zena is 1 year young and has already had 2 litters of babies! This precious girl is small in size and will not grow anymore. At a whopping 7 pounds, the veterinarian believes that since she since got pregnant with her first litter at 4 months, then again at 7 months, she did not completely develop to her full growth and weight potential.

Zena loves to have human interaction so she can enjoy kittenhood for the first time! She is very loving and wants your undivided attention, and will even flop down in front of you so you can rub her sides and belly!! She’ll also head butt you because she wants you to pet her and give her gentle chin scratches! We believe she is just realizing that she is still a kitten herself and just wants to be loved and played with! Zena will get along with dogs as long as they are extremely gentle and do not bother her. It’s more of a tolerance to dogs. She does, however, get along with other cats as long as they, too, are very gentle! Zena is extremely passive and low key, does not like loud sounds, and wants nothing more than to sit with her human getting belly rubs and chin scratches. For a short time, Zena was adopted into a family that had no other pets and it was then that we realized she is so bonded with her baby, Grady, that she went into a state of depression. We had to bring her back to her baby boy and the rest is history. Zena and Grady will have to be adopted together.

Grady is one of five in his litter but is very bonded with momma Zena. He wants his humans to interact with too! Grady is EXTREMELY gentle, doesn’t mind being held and loved on. He thoroughly LOVES his wand toys & lasers and runs from condo to condo, and most definitely wants you to give him gentle chin and cheek scratches! From the time you approach him or pick him up, his soft gentle purr motor will turn on and when you look into his eyes, he has the look of an old soul, very gentle, very kind, and very loving! You can give him lots of kisses on his cheeks, and rub his belly when laying on the bed or playing on the floor. His nails never come out either. He is incredibly gentle! Grady does not like to be alone, nor does he like to be behind closed doors where he can’t be with his humans unless he is with Zena. If you leave him behind by himself, he cries until you open the door again.

Grady has very unique markings as well. He definitely has the “Tabby” stripes, however, he inherited his momma’s Tortoiseshell markings and color as well throughout his head, face, ears, and chest. On his sides, he has the slight markings of an Oyster Tabby where it appears the “bullseye” formed. His hair is INCREDIBLY SOFT! In fact, he is SO soft, that you will want to keep petting him! In addition to his incredible markings, he also has an extra long tail which is rarely seen in kittens.

Grady must have a human to devote time and energy to him as well. He gets along well with other kitties and even dogs, although he can be afraid at first, as he is startled easily. He would make a wonderful addition to a family who is retired or works from home where he can receive constant interaction throughout the day! Most importantly, Grady must be adopted with Zena.

Additional adoption info

ADOPTION PROCESS
The following is a list of requirements new owners must meet and agree to before adopting a kittie from KITTIE CORRAL. KITTIE CORRAL only adopts to homes with sterilized pets.
Call for adoption fee; donations are gladly accepted.

All kitties adopted will be INDOOR ONLY – KITTIE CORRAL does not adopt "outdoor" kitties EVER. After one week, if it doesn't work out, the kittie MUST be returned to KITTIE CORRAL!

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE ADOPTING
Before you make the final decision to adopt, please take the time to consider the following questions:

Why do you want a kitten/cat?
Ask yourself this question before you decide to adopt. There are many reasons why you might want a kittie, however, remember that the kittie may be with you for 10, 15 or even 20 years. Please be sure that you are willing to commit to caring for the long term.

Will you be a responsible pet owner?
Give your kittie lots of love, companionship, exercise, a healthy diet and regular veterinary care. All these things make a responsible pet owner.

Is it a good time for you to adopt a kitten/cat?
If you are a student, in the military, or travel frequently, consider waiting until you settle down before adopting. If you have small children under the age of three, you may want to wait. Children should be mature enough to be responsible companions.

Who will care for your kittie when you go on vacation?
You will need friends or neighbors reliable enough that you can trust to care for the pet in your absence. However, KITTIE CORRAL does offer “babysitting” services while you vacation. Otherwise, you will need money to pay for a pet sitting service or boarding.

Do you have the time to devote to a kittie?
Your kittie cannot be ignored just because you are tired or busy. They require food, water, exercise, love and companionship every day.

Can you afford a kitten/cat?
The costs of pet ownership can be quite high. Expenses for all the things the kittie will need can add up quickly. If you are already struggling to make ends meet, you probably should not consider adopting yet.

Can you deal with special problems?
Some unfortunate, but common aspects of cat ownership include flea infestations, scratched furniture and unexpected medical emergencies.

Are you allowed to have a kitten/cat where you live?
Most importantly, if you live in an apartment, there may be restrictions regarding pets. Please make it your business to know what these are BEFORE adopting a cat. If you cannot afford a pet deposit or the lease specifically states "No Pets" then don't adopt. If you do reside in an apartment, a copy of your current lease MUST BE PROVIDED PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

Are you prepared to care for the kittie for his or her entire life?
When you adopt a cat, you are making a commitment to care for the kittie for his or her entire lifetime.

If you are now ready to continue with the Adoption Process, then fill out our Application and Contract forms.
Email kittiecorral@gmail.com with any questions you have about the kittie you are interested.

Meet the kittie/Meet the family
Once a phone interview has been completed, HOME INTERVIEW will be conducted at the of adoption. It is MANDATORY we meet everyone who is in the home on a regular basis at the initial interview. We ask that you allow one week for the kittie to become acclimated to the new environment and new owner(s). If the kittie is not adjusting within 5 days, then the kittie must be returned to KITTIE CORRAL.

Final In-Home Visit and Finalize Adoption -
After a four-week acclimation period, a final in-home visit is made by KITTIE CORRAL. From this time forward, KITTIE CORRAL will, on occasion, reach out to the new owners and get an update on how well the kittie is doing. Gifts will also be mailed out for the kittie, typically once per year.

Go meet their pets

As part of the Adoption Process, information about you will be obtained through a phone interview first. Then, a home interview will be scheduled where Kittie Corral brings the kittie to you. At that time, a home inspection will be done to verify that the new FOREVER home is clean, safe, and secure for the new family member.

More about this rescue

Kittie Corral is a FLORIDA based non-profit 501(C)3 organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of homeless cats by providing health care and placement in safe forever homes.

WHY we do what we do
MISSION
Kittie Corral is dedicated to rescuing and saving the lives of sick, injured, and stray cats who have been abused, left homeless, or neglected. Kittie Corral will also spay or neuter, vaccinate, and provide necessary medical treatment, and find loving, adoptive, safe homes for these stray and neglected cats.
We seek to place animals in a permanent home after recovery and we DO NOT euthanize unless terminal illness necessitates such a decision. All our cats are spayed or neutered, tested for Feline AIDS and Leukemia, de-wormed, de-flead, and vaccinated before they are adopted.

VISION
Kittie Corral seeks to reduce the cat overpopulation through active engagement in the community when possible. Kittie Corral assists cats who, because of extenuating circumstances, are unable to remain in their home with their owners to prevent a higher number of shelter intake and reduce the number of euthanasia’s, so we are committed to reducing the euthanasia of adoptable pets.
