Ripley's Story

Introducing... Ripley! Ripley was trapped last March, along with other friends from her colony, as part of a mass TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) effort. These cats had been lovingly fed and cared for by a kind man, but as soon as their foster mom met them, she knew they were far too sweet to be returned to outdoor life-so Ripley officially became a Trash Cat!<br/><br/>Ripley was the first of her crew to embrace indoor life and has been a big help to her foster sister Gem, who's a bit more nervous. These two can often be found cuddling or playing together throughout the day. Ripley will take a while to acclimate to a new home, and she still isn't so sure about human interaction yet, but she's always very curious! When she is in a small space, she is easy to handle and really enjoys gentle pets. But, when she is allowed to roam in larger spaces, her instinct is to watch her humans from a distance and hide until she feels comfortable. We believe that with some patience this little girl can really blossom, but it will take a special adopter who can give her the time and patience to thrive.<br/><br/>We believe Ripley could do well around respectful dogs, patient children, or other cats, but ideally she would love most to be adopted with her shy bestie, Gem, who might still be a little bit fearful of both. Older children who understand and respect Gem's boundaries would be a great fit. We think they're quite the duo-and we bet you will too!<br/><br/>Ripley is estimated to be about two years old. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea-treated, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/FeLV negative. Please apply to adopt Ripley (and Gem?) today!

Trash Cat Rescue's Adoption Policy
Typically the potential adopter reaches out either with or without a specific cat in mind. We will usually ask questions about the type of cat the adopter is interested in (any preferences as far as gender, color, personality, etc.), as well as the sort of home the cat would be going to (any kids, other pets, etc.). If we have a cat or kitten who would be a good fit, the adopter can fill out our application for that animal. If not, the person can still fill out the app, and we will keep them if mind if we end up with a cat who we think would be a good fit. Once the app is reviewed/approved (including checking vet and landlord references), we would chat any further with the adopter if needed, and then schedule a meet and greet with them with the cat or kitten. If the animal and the adopter hit it off, the adopter would then fill out our adoption agreement, pay the adoption fee, and take the cat or kitten home!
