Rutherford's Story

Meet Rutherford! This confident former stray is ready to find his forever home. Rutherford loves pets and face rubs. He will follow you around just to enjoy hanging out, although he isn't much for cuddling. The best way to befriend Rutherford is through play. His favorite hobby is chasing wands, teaser toys, and laser pointers. He would do best in a home that can engage him in active play often. He also has fun watching birds and squirrels out the window. He is a chatty cat and is happy to share his opinions on everything. Despite being chatty, like a portion of all-white cats, Rutherford is fully deaf. This doesn't inhibit him at all, and like most cats that ignore you when you call them, you probably won't even notice. Rutherford can be a bit of a bully towards other pets, and he would do best going to a home where he can thrive as the solo cat. He hasn't been fostered with children, but we suspect that he would do just fine with respectful kiddos. Rutherford is a gentleman who uses the litter box perfectly, but he does have a tendency to kick the litter around, making a high walled litter box preferable for keeping things clean. He is currently on an over the counter maintenance ear drop that he gets 1-2x weekly to prevent waxy buildup. He tolerates the drops easily if offered his favorite treat, a Temptation puree. Rutherford is estimated to be four years old. He is neutered, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Are you looking for a beautiful, interactive cat? Please apply for Rutherford 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!

Our Mission

To reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
