Story
Roman (b 5/2017) a Domestic Shorthair.  Roman is looking for a special home because he is a special cat.  He is diabetic so he needs a special diet and two insulin shots every day.  Roman is a calm, cuddly cat who loves belly rubs.  He is very affectionate.  He gets along with calm dogs but we are not sure about other cats or children.  Does Roman sound like the perfect cat for you? The suggested adoption donation for Roman is $65, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training). Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals.  In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $300,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases)  during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

Story
Welcome to rescue, Alphabet Litter!  This is Bramble, a young kitten born approximately May, 2024. He has settled in at his foster home and is an expert in the art of biscuit making. Bramble routinely uses the litterbox and loves his cardboard scratcher. He is an active kitten and enrichment and toys are an important part of his day. After a hard day of play, he then loves to snuggle! He is good with other cats with a good introduction and watches the foster dogs from a distance. A few words from Bramble himself: "Bramble is my name and cuddles is my game! I love to be around my people and would love to have a family that has lots of soft, comfy blankets!" The suggested adoption donation for each kitten in the Alphabet Litter is $75 or adopt 2 kittens for $125, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Story
Honey is a Tabby Tort (Tabby/Tortoiseshell), born approximately December 2023.  Honey loves her humans, but is also perfectly content in her independence as the queen of her castle.  She would probably be okay with older kids (age 10+), but she does NOT get along with other cats or dogs. She needs a home where she can be the queen.  Honey loves to play with puff balls batting them around, lasers, lounging in her "cat house", or playing in her cat tree.  She is altered, up-to-date on all vaccines and litter trained.  Help us find sweet Honey her furever home - apply today! The suggested adoption donation for Honey is $75, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Story
Here comes Pebblez, a friendly LongHair cat who is ready for her second chance (b. July 2022)! Pebblez is friendly with everyone - dogs, cats, strangers and kids of all ages.  She enjoys being active and playing with her toys.  If you're lucky, she might cuddle up beside you when she gets to know you.  Pebblez is a little particular with her food and will enjoy having her own personal space for dining.  She is litter trained and looking for a house where she'll get lots of love!   The suggested adoption donation for Pebblez is $65, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Please Note: A Courtesy Post designates that an animal is still in the home of its owner and not in a Muddy Paws foster. This means that our exposure to the animal is limited since we are only assisting the owner in finding a new home for their pet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue and there is a delay in removing them from our site. We apologize if the Courtesy Post you apply to adopt is unavailable for adoption. Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match.
