Peanut's Story

Hi! I am so excited to meet my new family! My photo might be in with the “seniors”, but my foster family thinks I’m much more like a kitten or young adult. I will entertain myself with my toys, but I really love to have someone play with my peacock feathers and other string and wand toys. My foster mom set up a couple of boxes and Christmas wrapping paper for me to tunnel in and find my favorite feather toys. Right now I’m watching a prime-time bird video on mom’s computer. I love to explore just about anything, anywhere, and any time. Okay, I did hide under the bed when I first got here, but that lasted all of 5 seconds before I was out exploring. My foster family says I have beautiful tan and gray striped fur and am super easy to care for. I have excellent litter box habits. I greet everyone with lots of little chirps to say hi or ask someone to play with me. When I get tired, I would love to snuggle next to you. If you’re giving me a pet, I may reach out to you with my paws (no claws, that wouldn’t be nice!) and some nibbles, so I might be better in a family without small children. I don’t know how I would be with other cats or dogs. My foster family has cats and I’m interested in them, but haven’t had a chance to socialize. I’ll be your happiest cat ever, once I’ve gotten to know you. Oh, do you like nose kisses? Then I’ve got you covered! Adoption fee $100. Included in adoption: all shots, sterilized, dewormed, deflea, microchip If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.

Fancy Cats Rescue Team's Adoption Policy

Once the paperwork has been completed and the adoption fee is paid, you will be able to take your new companion home. You need to provide a carrier for transport. We may contact you after the adoption to follow up and ensure your cat is settling in well. After your cat’s adoption is completed, you are eligible for 30 days of ShelterCare insurance for your new pet at no charge. Go to www.24PetWatch.com for more information. The policy will arrive to you via email within 48 hours of your cat’s adoption. Submitting an adoption application to Fancy Cats Rescue Team does not commit the applicant to that adoption or guarantee adoption approval of the specified or any adoptable cat listed with Fancy Cats. You can complete and submit your adoption application online anytime! Conditions of adoption: You must have a valid identification showing your current address and your age. You must be at least 21 to adopt. If you are renting, we will need a copy of your lease that shows that you are permitted to have a pet and have paid the required deposit. If you own your home, we do verify home ownership. Fancy Cats Rescue Team requires kittens to be adopted in pairs, or have an age appropriate cat/playmate in the home. Fancy Cats Rescue Team follows a general policy of adopting kittens to families with children over the age of 7. You must be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for a cat. For the first 30 days, please keep cat(s) separated and confined to one area; you should not expose your other animals to a new cat until you bring the new cat to the vet for an initial checkup. You must be willing to provide a life-long commitment to the care and well being of your cat. If you cannot make a lifetime commitment (cats can live 15–20 years) to a Fancy Cats cat, please consider adopting from your local shelter whose policies are less stringent than ours. Fancy Cats Rescue Team does not allow or disallow adoptions based on an individual’s race, gender, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age or disability. Fancy Cats reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any cat without stating a reason. Renters, please bring a copy of your lease that shows you are permitted to have a pet with a receipt that you have paid any required deposit once your application is approved and you are coming to meet and/or adopt a cat. Homeowners, bring a copy of a mortgage statement and utility bill once your application is approved and you are coming to meet and/or adopt a cat.
