American Shorthair kittens & cats in West Columbia, South Carolina

Booty was a kitten from a litter at our house. I named him Booty because all four paws have white on them. Very sweet cat.

I am heartbroken to have to rehome him. I got him 3 years ago as a kitten, but he started attacking my other cat on and off a year and a half ago and reintroducing them isn't working anymore. He's such a sweet, albeit timid cat. He's never been around dogs or kids but with how shy he is im not sure he would thrive in that environment. He's not super affectionate but will snuggle up when you're sleeping. He loves watching out the windows and sleeping in cardboard boxes. He's just an overall easy going cat. Never had any health issues, his rabies shot is 1yr out of date but his FVRCP is good for another year.

Pitch was born in late March 2024 to a community cat mother and was later discovered crossing a busy road when she was only 4 weeks old. She was immediately very friendly and mewed fervently to be brought home and taken care of. She has since been cleaned up and become a beloved house cat with a very sweet personality. She has been brought up with other cats and loves to socialize. Pitch is a very sweet and active kitty who is very easy to pick up and handle. She loves to be played with and be given treats and will easily warm up to anybody that does so with her. She is not loud and has a polite little mew that is so cute to hear. Pitch has been spayed and given her first round of shots and is awaiting her second round of shots and a microchip from her new forever-home.

Penelope came to us as a dump one morning that we found after a rainy day :( She was found by our sign with a small puddle of water at the bottom of a box with two other kittens. It took no time for us to see that she was pregnant but had a rotting tail. We had to wait for her to have her sweet kittens, which happened within days, before we could address her tail. All of her kittens have long been adopted and she still waits for her forever family. She does have a little stub of tail BUT it makes it that much better when you see that little butt wiggle with content. Penelope has been spayed and is looking for her forever home! The adoption fee includes age appropriate vaccinations and wormings, spay or neuter surgery, Frontline application, collar, ID tag and a cardboard pet taxi. Shelter hours are Tuesday to Friday from 11 am to 4 pm and the first and third Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm.

I've had Megatron since he was a kitten. The last house we lived in was very chaotic, and due to that, he was not properly litter box trained. He got used to peeing/pooping on clothes, furniture, rugs, due to the fact that the house was already marked by the smell of other animals... I've now, finally, moved into a new apartment, and I'm at my wits end. I cannot financially handle this cat, nor do i have the time to continue trying to litter box train him while he continues to destroy my furniture. He's already sprayed our nearly brand new couch so thoroughly that it's almost unrecoverable, and if I'm honest, all I want at this point is for him to be gone. I cannot afford to get him nuetered, even at a reduced rate. He's a sweet boy, and I know he would do well in the hands of a competent trainer with the resources to properly care for him, but I am not that. This is my last resort before surrendering him to a shelter.

If you are interesting in meeting any of our pets, the process is to complete an application.  It can be downloaded as a pdf document from our website and submitted by email to WindyRidgeRescue@gmail.com  as a scanned document or as photos OR can be completed entirely online. Both links are in the header of our website.   Because we are foster based, we require an approved application to schedule a meet and greet. We feel that is fair to our fosters and rescues so every meet and greet can result in an adoption. A limited number of cats are showcased at Peetco in Sumter, SC weekly.  &#226&#128&#139We do not have set adoption fees for dogs, but hope adopters will donate generously so we can rescue more. The medical care for every dog can easily exceed the adoption donation.  Average adoption fees for dogs in the area range from $175 up to $450. Your generous adoption donations help us continue our programs of providing quality food and medical care to those who pass through our fosters.  We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $70 for cats who are not yet altered and $100 for cats who are already spayed or neutered, regardless of age.  Please bring your own carrier for the ride home!  Each cat is up to date on vaccinations, dewormer, and microchipped.  Larger donations are always welcome so we can rescue more.  Medical care for each cat easily exceeds the minimum donation.   &#226&#128&#139As with every rescue, our resources are limited and the need for rescue help is unlimited. Your generosity helps us to rescue more and funds the only Trap Neuter Return Program in the county.  It's like tossing $100 bills in the woods when we trap a cat, vaccinate and spay or neuter that cat and then return them to the colony. Young kittens are tamed and available for adoption. We are alone doing this in our area. Your increased donation at the time of adoption can help us cover costs for the cat becoming part of your family as well as a feral to prevent more feral litters.  &#226&#128&#139Adopting or fostering for a rescue frees up a space where a new rescue can reside.  &#226&#128&#139If you can't adopt or foster, than please consider donating.  October 21, 2024, 3:12 pm
