Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Artie is 6yo, weighs 7.8lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, is microchipped; FeLV/FIV status unknown.  Artie's guardian adds:   "She is fully DEAF (since birth) and needs a home that will be accommodating and respectful of her.  I found her as a stray kitten in 2018 and have been with her since.  She is very loving, sweet, kind, playful, interactive with other humans, and explorative.  However, she does not do well so far with other animals.  She may warm up to them though; she has never been around other cats or dogs for long enough to see if she becomes nicer to them.  She loves the outdoors, but I don't let her go out alone/unsupervised because she is deaf.  She likes to go for walks with me in a cat backpack and watching birds and squirrels.  She is used to and has no problem wearing a harness with a location tracker on her.  She has never been forced to eat on a schedule.  I leave a massive amount of food out and she eats whenever she wants.  She prefers to drink from moving water, so I have a water fountain for her.  Artie is alone in the home 8+ hours 3-4 days/week.  She goes wherever she wants during the day and during the night; she likes to sleep next to you, but she sometimes bites at night to play with you.  She also dislikes/fears water, rain, or in the bathroom.  She loves car trips; she can be outside her cat backpack, but I think she feels more secure inside it.  She is used to long road trips where we have her kitty litter in the back.  She walks around the car and uses her litter box as she needs to." Artie's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  "I am joining the US Foreign Service and am moving broad.  I am looking to rehome her in a calm, safe, and loving environment." Bite/Scratch/Lunge/Attack Incident:  In June 2023, in Bristow, VA, Artie bit her guardian; the bite broke the skin. animal control was involved, and medical intervention was required.  She also likes to play bite, scratch, and attack/hunt your legs, feet, arms and head.  Artie's guardian explains the circumstances under which Artie bit her:     "I was holding her outside while watering the plants.  She is usually very good outside supervised and loves being outside.  But this time she got spooked by the water and tried to run away.  She wasn't wearing her harness and tracking device and our neighbor had a dog that had a history of killing cats, so I didn't want to let her go (she liked to climb the fence into their yard).  I was scared she'd get lost or attacked by the dog.  So when she freaked out about the water, I dropped the hose and didn't let Artie run away like she wanted since she got scared of the water.  As I was trying to run into the house to let her down, she bit me very very hard to try and get away.  My husband heard me screaming and came out and was able to safely dislodge Artie from my hand and put her inside.  I iced my hand, but it swelled up 3 times its normal size.  I went to urgent care and they told me to go to the emergency room to get antibiotics via IV.  It was expensive, but I fully recovered quickly.  It was a terrible mistake on my part and not that of my sweet cat.  She just got spooked and I wouldn't put her down.  Since it is mandatory reporting, the police came to the house to 'interview' our cat and it went well.  Nothing further was required."   Artie's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  "She is FULLY DEAF since birth." Artie's guardian states the following regarding children:  Artie hasn't lived with children, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with children, stating... "She has been around children guests inside my home and she does very well with them.  She plays and is gentle.  But I am not sure how she would do if they play rough, she may bite or attack them hard as well as a form of play.  She just doesn't know her own strength." Artie's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Artie hasn't lived with dogs, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating... "My cat has not really ever been around dogs.  We visited a household with a dog in it for a few days once, and we just kinds kept them apart.  My cat will either run and hide from the dog or hiss/swipe at them." Artie's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Arties hasn't lived with cats, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "She was very mean to a guest kitten we had at our house once.  She hisses and is aggressive towards other cats".   Artie's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Always at your side Likes men Likes women Artie's guardian describes her ideal future home: "I'd prefer to rehome her with someone who already knows how to care for cats because she has a tendency to bite hard, attack you while you sleep (she is playing, but she doesn't realize her own strength) and enjoys meowing loudly frequently throughout the night (hasn't changed in 6 years so far).  Therefore, anyone who cares for her will need to be aware of this and still be able/willing to care for her lovingly and unconditionally.  I think Artie would do best in a household as the only pet." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Gainesville, VA/Washington, DC - NOTE:  Guardian states she "will drive a fair distance if someone will truly care well for my baby".  ***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

Story
My name is Ramy! I’m 6 years old and absolutely love being around people. I love to talk to you and cuddle at night. We can either cuddle next to each other or I’ll just sleep by your feet. Not only do I love people, but I have fun with other animals too. I may need a few hours to get to know them but then we are going to have fun playing with each other. My mom loves me dearly but she is absolutely heartbroken that she is unable to bring me with to where she is moving. She really wants to find me a warm, loving home with people who want to hangout with me. She wishes she could have given me that herself but there have been some heartbreaking, unexpected changes in our journey together. Maybe I can join your family? Let me know! I’m excited to get to know you!

Story
  So many stories in the rescue world about cats and they all seem to have the same start all too often and too sad.  This stunning grey tabby and white boy is called Chester, he is just barely one year of age and born to a stray momma cat.  Living outdoors all his life, his momma brought him and his littermates to a family house where she hoped to be fed and to care for her litter born outside a home.  Somehow her 4 kittens survived and here is Chester to prove that miracles can happen for these lost and forgotten mommas and their babies.  Chester is now a very handsome 13 pound boy that has been invited inside a foster home and is being given the wide berth to relax and make himself at home as a pampered and well fed adult cat.  He’s still super shy and will hide a lot under the bed, but he is starting to come out for some play time and chin scratches.  In just 4 days he has made such strides and advancements to allow toys to entice him to come out several times without fear and allow his new foster mom Joyce to pet him and given him chin rubs.  He is learning to be petted and to trust this new foster mom.  He and his littermates are all grown up but very young and they are getting better with the litterbox training and are eating with a hearty appetite.  We feel that time and patience will see Chester and his siblings stay out from under a bed or in hiding more and more as they learn they are safe and have a promise of food and love every day for the rest of their life.  If you are interested in helping Chester learn daily how to receive love and be happy with being touched, then please email us and ask to foster him or adopt him.   Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com we are anxious to find a capable home to love him all the way. Our vetting is extensive: Spay, rabies, FIV vaccine, FIV tested and negative, fecal and dewormings and a Drontal  and microchipped. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.  November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Story
Meet Bigsby, also known as Ms. Bigg, a pretty grey and cream tabby who is about eight or nine years old.    Bigsby is a dog in a cat's body, according to her foster's friends. She earned this reputation by coming out of the woodwork and demanding attention from them whenever they visit. Without fail, as soon as a visitor sits in her favorite chair, she assumes this is an invitation to get attention and sprawls on their chest and shoulder and purrs. When her foster worked from home, she was the Official Office Cat and was often the unintentional star of a few Zoom/Teams meetings; her foster has since RTO'd, which makes Bigsby sad. She is very affectionate and wants to be with her people.   Currently, she's living in a house with a few other cats and a couple of big dogs (coonhounds); she doesn't create issues with any of them, though she's not exactly snuggly with them, either. She would likely do just fine as a solo cat or in a household with other pets. Beyond human attention and the standard food, water and a clean litter box, she needs just one thing every day: allergy medication. She's not exactly 'special needs' or high maintenance; her allergy meds keep her healthy and happy.  She is missing most of her teeth, but that doesn't hold her back in any way; the only concession being made for that is wet pate food once a day with dry kibble available on a free-feed basis.    Bigsby is a fantastic, engaging older cat who deserves her own human to love her.  She is totally vetted and ready for her forever home.  If you think  will be the purrfect addition to your family please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Bigsby is in Tennessee and can be transported to the northeast upon adoption.)  November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm
