My story

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

Tuna Melt arrived at Animal Advocates in the chilly days of December 2023, after being rescued by a local good samaritan who saw her hanging out in the neighborhood. When she first arrived at the rescue, never knowing the sights of life inside, Tuna Melt was very wary of people and the new environment.

Tuna is a sassy and street smart girl, but with patience and consistency, volunteer caregivers have made incremental progress with Tuna; helping her to feel comfortable sharing the space with people and other cats. The way to Tuna Melt's heart is through treats and playtime! She will come out to play with wand toys and loves, loves, LOVES treats from her favorite volunteers. Tuna has two BFFs at the rescue with Harvey and Peony, a pair of fellow spicy cats, who love days spent lounging in the sun and watching the birds on the enclosed "catio" porch at the rescue. She generally seems comfortable with all of the cats who have come through the rescue.

Tuna Melt requires a home with experienced cat people who will show her love and accept her for the cat that she is. A feline buddy in the home would help Tuna feel more at ease. Her birthday is estimated in 2021. She is up-to-date on vaccinations, tested negative for FIV/Felv, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting Tuna Melt, the first step is to complete an online application located at www.animaladvocates.net (under the "Adopt" menu). Our team is open to discussing with approved applicants the possibility of a long-term foster placement for Tuna. In a long-term foster placement the goal is to connect special animals with individuals in the community who are interested in caring for a pet. The rescue will provide supply and vetting support as needed. Thank you for considering a rescue cat from Animal Advocates!

Additional adoption info

Adoption Guidelines:
- Before scheduling a meet-and-greet with one of our adoptable cats or dogs, you must complete an application and interview with an adoption team member.
- You must be 21 years or older.
- All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered.
- If you rent, we will need a copy of your lease stating the landlord permits pets along with the landlord’s contact information.
- We do not place animals as gifts for others.
- Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions.
- We reserve the right to perform a home visit.

We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues.

Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our headquarters, our adoptable animals are cared for in loving volunteer foster homes. We get to know the pets’ personalities and needs very well, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters.
