Story
Meet Kevin, a domestic short hair cat born approximately 2/2020. He's a shy guy, but is very active and loves to give kisses. He's quite friendly but likes to approach his people on his own terms and only once he's observed you for a while to know if you're safe or not. He prefers to come to his person for pets, so he needs someone whose patient and lets him make the choice for attention and affection. He needs a home that makes him feel safe and that keeps him inside. He also knows how to use the litter box. If Kevin is your guy, apply for him today!  The suggested adoption donation for Kevin is $65. 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 2021 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $307,000 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.

Story
Meet Lucky, a Domestic Shorthair born approximately 4/2019. Lucky is a typical young cat who loves attention, regularly climbing and zooming around. He's very vocal and friendly and curious about new people. He likes to be close and pet, but doesn't love being held. He loves being brushed and plays with his toys often. Lucky is a very curious little guy, so it may be best to keep things out of reach, especially shoes. He also has accidents outside of his litter box from time to time, so he'll need a lot of patience and possibly re-training. Lucky wants to give you all of his attention, so give him a chance today! The suggested adoption donation for Lucky is $65, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).

Story
Benson is a bonded pair with Cosmo, and I would like them to be adopted together if possible. Benson is a chill cat who prefers adults. He can be aloof or he can be a cuddle bug depending on his mood. He’s not afraid of new people but he will do best in a home without small children, people who use mobility aids, and dogs.

Toji loves people as much as he loves food. Loves his early morning and late night cuddles. Is the primed example of a cat foodie. He’s helped trained two foster kittens, and is the perfect big brother cat. He’s starting to get really bad anxiety with new baby around and he seems to only thrive when he’s away from the baby and at my mom’s place. My mom’s place doesn’t allow animals. He needs a household where he’s able to thrive, and be his confident self again. He’s a great and the sweetest cat, and deserve the world.

Story
Tupac is a loveable one-year-old who refuses to leave your side at night. He absolutely needs some cuddles at night, or he will be sad. Tupac is not an avid cuddler in the daytime, but he will have his moments until he completely quits and starts running around. He will vocally “talk” with you and express concern for mealtimes, a dirty litter box, and any attention he is not receiving. He is the friendliest cat ever and will greet strangers and your friends who visit. The best part about him is any ball or small toy you throw for him to chase he will bring right back. Tupac is a very playful young kitty who loves quality time above everything else.

Story
Porsche is a young cat with a rough start. He and his brother were dumped on a porch in the rain. We are working to prove to him he is safe and will never be abandoned again. He has gotten so brave, he is accepting some pets and does not run when approached. He is looking for a patient home to let him continue to grow into the friendly cat we know he will become outside of the shelter environment. You aren't seeing things, he and his brother are mirror twins! Porsche has more orange on his left cheek and Audi has the same amount but on his right cheek! The adoption fee is $125 + tax and covers age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures.  Please note, we do NOT allow declawing of any cat or kitten that we adopt out, unless deemed medically necessary.  We will gladly provide you with alternative methods of managing cats with claws. If you are interested in any of our animals please fill out an application on our website www.townandcountryanimalrescue.org After you have submitted an application and been approved, a Cat Team member will reach out to set up a “meet and greet” between you and the pet. The introduction between you and the pet will be supervised by one of the cat team members or the foster. If all goes well, you can adopt during the same visit.** Please be sure to follow us on Facebook to learn more about Town and Country Animal Rescue and our mission ##2094923##

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.
