Joyce's Story

Joyce is a beautiful brown tabby who is the perfect combo of sweet and sassy. Joyce's owner tragically passed away and she found herself living outside without human touch for three years. After giving birth to a litter of kittens she was humanely trapped and the whole family was brought indoors. It has taken Joyce some time to trust humans again, but she quickly remembered her love of pets and face scritches. When her foster parents first enter the foster room, she often startles and gives a big hiss, but then immediately begins chirping, purring, and even getting on her hind legs for pets. While she absolutely loves to be pet, she does get nervous about fast movements around her face and is not a fan of being held. Joyce is looking for a cat savvy person who understands and appreciates her boundaries and is willing to give her the time and patience she needs to come out of her shell. <br/><br/>In her foster home, Joyce has not appreciated the presence of the resident cats and would prefer to be the only pet in the home or to be adopted with one of her kittens (El and Dustin). Joyce would do best in an adult-only home or a home with older, cat-savvy children.<br/><br/>To be considered, please apply at feistyfelines.org/adoption-application. Adoption fees for kittens are $235/one or $425/pair, adults are $160. “Shy guys” and special cases may be discounted. Includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines up to date, dewormed, flea treated, and combo testing done on the litter.

Feisty Felines's Adoption Policy
Please keep in mind that these kittens are primarily feral-born and their full history is often unknown. Their level of friendliness will vary depending on a number of factors, but we always do our best to describe their current comfort level in the posting. We require indoor-only homes. Partly due to the nature of the work we do with feral-born kittens that would be extremely difficult to get back inside if they escape outside. But also due to inherent dangers outside. (Rare exceptions may be made for adult cats that have previously been indoor/outdoor and would not adapt well as indoor-only pets, but these are uncommon). We also require owners to never declaw any adopted cats. Declawing is inhumane and has been shown to have a high correlation with chronic behavioral and health issues. With regards to kittens only, please note that we do give preference to approved adopters seeking a bonded pair of kittens. However, we understand not all homes can adopt a pair of kittens, so our secondary preference is a home a home with other cats. We may occasionally have kittens who would do well in a home with a dog or without other cats, but this is less common. While us humans can love them and play with them, it isn’t the same. They really do better with a friend. This policy does not apply to teenagers or adults. Adult (1 year +) and teenage cats (6 months to a year) may go to a home without other pets as long as we think they would thrive in that environment. Please note that all cats and kittens are placed on a case-by-case basis and there may be some unique exceptions to these policies if we think it is best for the cat. Thank you for understanding. They are fixed, chipped, vaccinated, combo testing done, deflead and dewormed. Adults and “shy guy” kitties receive the same treatment and are a discounted rate (dependent on level of shyness). Adoptions include a 30-day refund guarantee. If for any reason you decide it’s not a good fit within the first 30 days we will issue a full refund. Of course we will gladly take the kitty back beyond 30 days (space permitting), but refunds beyond 30 days are not guaranteed. To be considered, please apply at feistyfelines.org/adoption-application. Thanks for considering adopting a rescue! <3
