Story
ADOPTION FEE 100% funded for a like minded gentle, patient adopter who understands that sweet Tessa can sometimes be overwhelmed and will take time to "find her brave". Tessa is shy but so very willing to accept love and craves a very special person who understands. She literally melts with sweet talk and gentle pets. A quiet home would be best for Tessa (hopefully with another furry sibling). TESSA is an incredibly sweet kind gentle 7 month old beautiful girl. She loves her cheek rubs and will melt like a marshmallow when she. Rools over for her belly rubs. She adores other kitties (especially her friend Josie) who she bunks and frolics with. Tessa is very submissive and it does take a minute to "find her brave" when meeting new people. Loud unexpected noises will startle her and she will seek temporary cover. However once she knows she is safe this girl will melt in your arms like pudding and she will bond very quickly. Sometimes we all need is just a little bit of encouragement and that is all this sweet precious girl desires. Tessa wants nothing more than to be loved ❤️ All kitties are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, FIV/FELV tested negative, microchipped, dewormed and have received a health exam from our veterinarian and received a NH Health Certificate.

Story
  Baylor - Male DOB 7/13/2024 Domestic Short Hair - Buff Tabby Baylor is a very affectionate lap cat once he gets adjusted in his new environment.  He is a bit on the shy side, but having his buddy, Chance, around to sleep with, makes him feel safe and more at ease with people around.  They will sometimes play together, but usually are seen laying together also.  Once Baylor gets to know his humans, he is very loving and loves pets.  Chance is more outgoing and not quite as shy as his buddy Baylor.  Chance likes to roam around more, climb onto high places, and sometimes play with springs and mice when the mood strikes him.  He too is very loving and loves to be petted.  Chance too will be a lap cat once he is settled into his new environment so they will both need a lap to lay on.  They also love to lay on a shelf or bed together and get some rays from the warm sun and would enjoy looking out a window at the birds.   They both get along with other cats, but no dogs and no young children would be best for them. Please apply via our easy online application at https://furrr.org/cat-adoption-process/All kitten(s) and cat(s) at FuRRR Feline Rescue are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations for their age, combo tested for FIV/FeLV, microchipped and have a Health Certificate from a licensed NH veterinarian.  Our application is available to be completed online at  https://furrr.org/cat-adoption-process/  Applying DOES NOT guarantee approval.  We hold meet and greets with approved applications only.  (Kittens are available for adoption in pairs only unless they are going home to another kitten or young cat under 3) Our policy is strictly NO DECLAWING and INDOOR ONLY.
