My story

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

Mochi is a gentle and friendly male cat with a heart full of love. Rescued from an abandoned home at just three months old, Mochi has grown into a sweet companion who adores spending time with his humans. His favorite activities include snuggling on cozy afternoons, chasing the elusive red laser pointer, and enjoying delicious treats.

Though Mochi can be a bit shy at first, patience is the key to his heart. Once he feels safe, he’ll become your loyal shadow, following you wherever you go. He’s also a caring friend to other cats in his foster home, always ready to share affection and companionship.

Mochi thrives in a calm and understanding household. He has a few quirks—he’s not a fan of confined spaces like carriers or crates, and he prefers not to be held for extended periods. Building trust is essential, and Mochi appreciates gentle handling and a snuggle on his terms. Rough play or forcing interactions isn’t his style; he’s all about soft, loving connections.

This soft-spirited boy is ready to find his forever home with a family who understands his unique personality. To truly see Mochi’s charm, we recommend meeting him in his foster home, where he feels most comfortable.

Bonus: Mochi’s adoption fees are sponsored, so all he needs now is the perfect match!

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.
