Rigby (& Hemsworth) 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!!<br/><br/>wants to be adopted with brother, Hemsworth<br/><br/>Hi, I'm Rigby, and I actually like my name; it's pretty kewl. Hemsworth and I were trapped in December 2021 in Crab Orchard/Crossville off Hwy 70. Miss Tana believes we were dumped because we suddenly mysteriously appeared and then were wandering around on this rural property for several weeks. We started eating food left out for us, but were afraid to approach the humans, so they eventually asked for help trapping us. There was woods all around, and they were afraid we would either be killed by predators or get out on hwy 70 and get killed that way.<br/><br/>When we went to get neutered, it was discovered that both of us had already been fixed, but we did not have microchips or any id whatsoever. When Miss Tana listed us as found and spread the word every way she could, not only did no one say they were missing us, but no one even asked about us at all. We were sad. We didn't understand why no one wanted us and why we were just put outside to try to survive on our own. It was pretty scary out there trying to stay safe and in all kinds of weather.<br/><br/>Once we were back at Miss Tana's place, we stayed in one of her bathrooms at first until we got acclimated. It became apparent to her pretty fast that we were NOT feral kitties. And once we realized she was a kind and giving lady, we showed her real fast that we are super friendly and affectionate boys. I mean ... lover boys is definitely an understatement with us. We are awesome if I do say so myself. We would make a wonderful addition to someone's home and cherished furever family. Miss Tana loves us and is bonded with us, but she also wants the very best for us long term and believes we deserve someone who has more time to give us one on one tlc attention. Maybe that person is you and we could help make your house even more like a home. It's what we do best.<br/><br/>We are neutered, combo tested negative, microchipped, vaccinated, and internal and external parasite free.

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.
