Marmalade (& mom, Tippy) URGENT - FOSTER NEEDED!'s Story

URGENT: If interested in any of these kitties, PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AT feline.felicity@gmail.com due to the Petfinder inquiry option not working as it should!! Tippy's kitten; to be adopted with mom, Tippy previously feral Hi, I'm Marmalade! Nice to cyber-meet you! I was trapped with my mom, Tippy, in June of 2022 at a colony at a residence near the hospital and other medical buildings in Cookeville. I was pretty scared because they took my mom away to be spayed, and I was by myself for a little while. I WAS kind of curious about the lady who put water and food out for me though. Once my mom got back, I was brave enough to come out and start exploring and playing. I grew up mostly living in a bathroom. Mom and I could go out and explore the rest of the house once we got more comfortable and not so afraid of Miss Tana, but we actually really like it in the bathroom. It's our safe place. We have a cat tree in there and everything. I got friendly with Miss Tana long before my mom did, but mom is an adult and she may have had bad experiences with some bad humans before. Who knows? But I grew to love Miss Tana coming in the bathroom, and I would jump up on the counter to get closer to her each time she came in. And she would pick me up and put me on her shoulder, even when she was brushing her teeth. I love for her to pick her up and hold me, and I know my name really well. It's not true that only dogs come when they are called. I almost always respond to Miss Tana calling me, even when I am out loose in the whole house. Mom finally wants attention and affection from Miss Tana and even likes to be picked up and be in Tana's lap, getting lots of petting. Mom gets nervous if Miss Tana gets up and walks around holding her, but I think she is getting close to jumping up in Miss Tana's lap when she sits down and is sitting still. We love Miss Tana a lot and have bonded with her, but I am only one year old and my mom is not very old either. We have a lot of years to bond with someone else and have a whole house to ourselves and all the tender loving care and attention of our human(s) to ourselves. It gets a little chaotic and overwhelming at the Feline Felicity house sometimes with all the other kitties. I am not too fond of some of the other kitties and get really nervous and defensive when some of them get too close to me. I guess my mom taught me not to trust easily in order to keep me safe when we lived outside. I believe it would be great for my mom and me to have the chance to be two spoiled feline divas, furever living out the rest of our lives as cherished precious family members. Would you give us a chance please? You might be our purrfect person, and we could all live happily ever after. We are both spayed, vaccinated, internal and external parasite free, combo tested negative, and microchipped.

Feline Felicity's Adoption Policy

At Feline Felicity, established in 1988, all cats & kittens are examined by a veterinarian, tested for Feline Leukemia & Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, external & internal parasite free, FVRCP & Rabies vaccinated appropriately for their age, spayed or neutered, & microchipped prior to being adopted out into new homes. Rest assured you will be given a health record for your pet with all services & dates provided. I, Tana Taylor, founder of Feline Felicity, have worked in veterinary clinics for over 30 years. I NEVER adopt out an unaltered cat because compliance for spaying & neutering is, unfortunately, very low. "Oops litters" are NOT ok! When one has been in rescue, animal control, shelter, humane association, spay/neuter, TNR, or vet business well over a decade, one becomes painfully aware of the overpopulation problem resulting in too few adoptions & definitely too many euthanasias. As a result, I composed this signature for my personal e-mails: "Each & every birth of a cat or dog adds to the overpopulation problem. For every single kitten or puppy you allow to be born & find a home, KNOW that one who was already waiting at a pound or shelter is euthanized because no one adopted it. For their sake, SPAY & NEUTER! (Cats definitely before 5 months old!!) PLEASE! IT MATTERS!" Feline Felicity is basically one person so can typically only manage local home visits & adoption approvals. After a minimal two week trial period, if all goes well, I will arrange for the microchip information to be transferred. It is urgently important that you immediately go to microchip website, provide all your personal contact information &, just as importantly, always keep any changes up to date as that is your best insurance for being reunited with a lost pet. One other thing, the NO CHILDREN recommendation is because I do not have any children in my household, so the kitties are NOT used to them at all. PLEASE read individual stories for the kitties to learn more about their individual personalities & how well they may adapt. Please note that most of my felines are adults ranging from 1-5 years to several seniors. Very unfortunately, unless homes are found for some of my current rescues (about 40 to choose from!!), I will not ever have ANY room to take in new felines ... including baby kittens ... indefinitely. I was diagnosed with cancer June 2018; recurred 2023, so urgently need to decrease the number of cats for whom I am caring! E-mails & phone calls are typically people wanting me to take in more cats, which I absolutely cannot do under any circumstances. PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN A BABY. PLEASE ALSO REALIZE IT IS THE INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY OF THE CAT & HOW IT FITS IN WITH YOU & YOUR HOUSEHOLD (other people & animals) THAT MATTERS MOST, NOT gender or color/pattern or length of hair. My feline rescues have had services that would normally cost over $400-800 (minimally!) at a full service vet already done, The adoption fee remains EXTREMELY minimal compared to my financial investment in all of them. You may "fall in love" with a kitty & its story & "know" you want it just from what you see & read on here. However, you may e-mail to set up an appointment to meet the feline(s) prior to making a decision on which one(s) to consider for adoption. WHEN YOU CONTACT VIA EMAIL, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TELL ME ABOUT YOU, YOUR PREVIOUS FELINE EXPERIENCE, & YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION -- WHERE YOU LIVE, OTHER PEOPLE & ANIMALS IN HOME, & WHAT KITTY LIFE WITH YOU WOULD BE LIKE on a daily basis. Adoption fees range from $80 to $125 each, payable in cash. I will sometimes discount if more than one are adopted together. (Due to previous incidences of checks written on closed accounts, insufficient funds, or stopped payments, Feline Felicity no longer accepts checks.) This fee will continue to provide maintenance (food, litter, etc.) & veterinary care for the other cats & kittens that are being housed at Feline Felicity. You will be required to complete a detailed questionnaire & adoption contract which must be approved by Tana Taylor prior to adopting a pet. Part of this approval process does include a home visit prior to the final step of me personally delivering the feline to you at its new home. Here at Feline Felicity, these cats are housed strictly indoors, & have only cohabited with other felines & me, an adult woman in a fairly quiet, consistent, & settled environment. For that reason, I do not think the majority of them would do well with children less than ten years old, in general, although I am sure there may be some exceptions. The cats' only exposure to dogs is my K9 mix rescue, weighing 40-50 pounds, who is typically feline-friendly & very well behaved around cats & kittens. In that regard, some of the cats would more than likely adapt to dogs while others probably would not. Please realize that all cats have individual personalities, & their adjustment time to new people & environments may vary greatly.
