Story
This is the hardest decision I've had to make. I adopted my beautiful baby boy Dundie at 8 weeks from my Aunt who had an outdoor cat. He's been my companion through the loneliest of times. I love him so much. I've had him since October of 2020. Unfortunately, I feel like I bit off more than I could chew. I had never owned a pet, and although I successfully get his shots, I never got him neutered. He was my pandemic baby and now its come to a point where he's only been with me in this apartment. He does not do well with visitors and with research I've realized I made a terrible mistake by not neutering him because he's become possessive of me and the house. I travel a lot for work and he's often home alone. This has made him a little anxious over some time, with me leaving and coming back. He does not have behavioral issues. He loves to play and just needs a cat mom or dad who can love on him and dedicate time and energy. I would want someone who is open to staying in touch with me.

Story
We got Gilbert in 2016 from Nashville. He was 5 then, so he is probably around 12 now. He's been nothing but a perfect sweetheart. Loves cuddling and being pet. Very affectionate. Not shy around people. We recently learned that our newborn daughter is allergic to cats, that is the only reason why we reluctantly give him up. We are simply looking for a home where he'll be loved and cared for.

Story
My ex-husband and I found Sneaky in Murray Hill while she was still a baby. She had a home with us while we were still together, and once we separated she lived with me. She is very shy and calm. She prefers not to be petted but is very sweet and likes good company. I'd say it's better for people who are around most of the day at the house. Sneaky needs a kind of love that understands that she is low-key. She likes scratching more than playing so scratching posts are encouraged. Although I love her as my family, she indeed is mine, I'm unemployed and cannot keep my apartment or her any longer. I don't count on a large network here, so rehoming through friends has been impossible. I hope we get to find a loving family or individual who continues to take care of her as we did for the past 4 years.

Story
Jiji  is a 6-month male kitten who was rescued from Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY Jiji is the perfect mix of athlete and cuddle bug! With his long legs and graceful leaps, Jiji loves to chase after wand toys and balls - he'll even play a game of soccer with you, passing the ball back and forth like a pro! After playtime, Jiji loves nothing more than to be plopped onto your lap and be a little purr machine. He truly loves to be social with his people - he is known to greet his fosters at the door with little meows and will run up to his people for affection when they come into the room.  Jiji also loves to play with his foster kitty brother Figaro (who is also up for adoption at Waggytail!) so we are confident he will do well in a home with another playful kitten or cat. Because Jiji loves playtime and cuddles so much, sometimes he gets a bit distracted at mealtime, so he'll also do well in a home where his people can remind him to eat in order to grow up big and strong! Jiji is obsessed with Churu and treats, however, so it will be easy to reinforce positive behaviors with these being his rewards.  Come meet Jiji and see if he's the perfect addition to your family! Please note: Because Jiji is a kitten, he will need to be adopted into a family that already has a playful kitten or cat OR will need to be adopted with another kitten (like Figaro!).  Vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. FeLV / FIV negative, neutered, and microchipped. To apply for Jiji, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the animal is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable cat, or final size of any of our adoptable kittens. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the cat into our rescue. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##2182022##

Story
Figaro (Figgy!)  is a 6-month male kitten who was rescued from Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY Figaro is the ultimate laid-back little guy who loves to relax and go with the flow. Described by his foster parents as a sweet and affectionate lovebug, Figaro is always up for head pets and chin scratches and can often be found lounging in his fuzzy bed, which he routinely uses as his home base to relax and get some shut-eye When Figaro isnt relaxing, he becomes a playful explorer .He is curious about every nook and cranny in a room, and also also loves playing with his kitty brother Jiji (who is also up for adoption with Waggytail)—they'll chase and play with each other, but Figaro is always gentle. Plus, he's very food motivated, especially if there's tuna-flavored Churu involved! If you're looking for a relaxed yet playful companion, Figaro is your perfect match! Because Figaro is a kitten, he will need to be adopted into a family that already has a playful kitten or cat OR will need to be adopted with another kitten (like Jiji).  Vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. FeLV / FIV negative, neutered, and microchipped. To apply for Figaro, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal.
