Annie's Story

Annie (about 2 years old as of March, 2026) is a spayed female orange tabby tuxedo shorthaired cat. Annie was born on a farm in Antioch where kids raise goats for the 4H program, and having so many kids around she grew up very friendly and outgoing. Unfortunately they didn't get her in to be spayed in time and she came to us last year with a litter of kittens. Annie did a great job raising them and now that they've found homes it's her turn to find one! Since her kittens left Annie struggled to integrate with the other pets in her foster home; after a few months of drama she's getting along okay with other cats and tolerating the dogs, but we do think Annie would prefer to be an only cat or live with just one other calm cat that will give her space. People are what Annie really likes and she's looking to maximize her attention!

Spay and Stay's Adoption Policy

If you think you might be interested in one of our cats please fill out our adoption application at https://www.spayandstay.org/cat-adoption/. We will then work with you to ensure a good match and can arrange a meeting with the kitty or kitties you are most interested in. We require a small donation as an adoption fee that varies depending on the age of the cat or kitten and offer a "bulk discount" for adopters willing to take on more than one kitty. Adult cats over 1 year- $80, Kittens 6 months - 1 year- $100; $175 for a pair. Kittens under 6 months- $125; $225 for 2, or $325 for 3 kittens. The adoption fee in each case includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Because pet adoption is not our primary mission we have no central animal shelter and rely solely on a network of volunteer foster homes to house and socialize our adoptable cats. While we don't have one convenient location to come and meet all of our available cats at once our individual foster parents get to work very closely with each kitty and can speak to what they are like in a home environment. We always take our kitties back if things aren't working out after a little time so we're passionate about helping you find the right match.
