EJ's Story

Handsome EJ (estimated DOB: 12/1/2022) has a gorgeous orange tabby coat. His foster mom describes EJ as a big-hearted, athletic lovebug who brings serious “dog-like” energy to the cat world. He’s incredibly sweet and friendly with humans and does not shy away from new experiences. If you’ve ever found yourself torn between wanting a cat or a dog, EJ might be your perfect middle ground. EJ is large but lean. He thrives with feline friends who can match his enthusiasm for wrestling and playing. Because of that, he is not a great fit for an elderly or low-energy cat, but he’d be fantastic in a home with cats that can match his energy level. We rescued EJ from a regional animal control facility at the end of December 2025. The ideal home for EJ will have another young active cat with which he can play and wrestle. While EJ hasn’t been tested with dogs or children yet, his friendly, unflappable nature suggests he’d likely do well with cat-savvy dogs or kids. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart, EJ is ready to meet you. For more information and pictures, go to our website: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptable-pets/ To submit an adoption application online: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptapp/ If you cannot adopt, please share to help EJ find a "furrever" home. To make a donation via PayPal, USPS, or one of our current campaigns; to provide an item from our Amazon Wish List, or to sponsor an animal, please do so here: http://www.ppahrescue.org/donation/ All animals are already spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV tested negative, micro-chipped, de-wormed and have all necessary shots. They are ready to go to a loving home. Adoption fee is $175.00. If you have any questions, please email Admin@PPAHrescue.org. Thank you.

Precious Pets Almost Home Association's Adoption Policy

Please help our homeless pets in need by adopting from Precious Pets Almost Home. All of our cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, de-wormed, flea-treated, up to date on vaccines and treated for ear mites. Cats are tested for FIV/Leukemia. Dogs are Heartworm tested. Our modest adoption fee is $175.00 for cats and $400.00 for dogs (unless otherwise noted). Some purebred cats or dogs may have a higher adoption fee. Please understand that the higher adoption fee for certain purebred animals allows us to rescue more animals and it is still much, much less than what you would pay a breeder or pet store! Adopter is contractually bound to return their adopted animal to PPAH if for any reason the adoption does not work out. We do not return adoption donations after 14 days. If animals are adopted together, they must be returned together. We do not adopt single kittens into homes with no other pets, namely cats. This policy is in the best interest of the cats in our care and is shared by many rescue groups nationwide. Applicant must demonstrate the ability and commitment to provide proper care, exercise and vetting for the lifetime of the pet. PPAH reserves the right to approve or decline any adoption applications that do not meet the organization's adoption criteria, as determined at its' sole discretion. PPAH is a foster-based non-profit rescue run solely by volunteers. The application process can take a few days with the verification of vetting, residency, and references. We appreciate your patience. For more on our policies visit our website www.ppahrescue.org/adoption-info/
