Squirrel's Story

Squirrel is the perfect mix of kitten personalities - playful and curious, but also incredibly loving and snuggly! Squirrel and his brother Kicker were found in a crawlspace at just 5 weeks old without a mama. Usually after a scary start to life like that, it takes kittens some time to trust people and settle into their foster home. Not these guys! They were purring and giving kisses on day 1! <br/><br/>Squirrel loves to climb chairs, chase feather toys, and wrestle with his brother. He loves to curl up behind you or in a little nook against you to rest, and will climb up your chest to give you kisses on the nose. But as soon as play mode is activated he loves to play attack your arm. <br/><br/>Squirrel has a beautiful black coat with some very subtle stripes that seem to be coming out more with age. He has a kink in his tail from an early injury, but it doesn't bother him or hold him back at all! He has been microchipped, started on his distemper vaccines, tested negative for FIV/FELV, scheduled for neutering, and ready to find his forever home!

CARE-Cat Adoption and Rescue Efforts Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our adoption process is simple but thorough. You select a feline who touches your heart and fill out an adoption application at care-cats.org/application. Filling out the application is the quickest way to start the adoption process and is required of all adoptions. After review and approval by our volunteers, you will be contacted by an adoption consultant to discuss the adoption process. Please allow a few days for this process, as CARE is an all volunteer rescue – each of us is giving our own personal time and we appreciate your patience. You will then be in contact with the foster to discus and meet your chosen cat/kitten. Should you decide to adopt, an adoption contract is then signed with an adoption donation attached (this donation helps defray the medical costs incurred) Each cat/kitten has spent its rescued time in a private home in foster care being loved and assessed for temperament and personality, needs, likes and dislikes. Our adoption counselors and fosters will help you to adopt a feline that will fit well and become a permanent member of your family. See : Available Cats: on our website: care-cats.org for more information. Adoption fees (fees contribute to only a portion of the cost of each cat’s medical and living expenses) Please check with an adoption specialist for adoption fees. Occasionally we offer specials on adoption fees. As Part of the Adoption Fee Your NEW Family Member Has Received: * A Full Health Check up by a Veterinarian * Treated, if needed, for any Problems with Ear/Eyes/Teeth * Treated for Worms, Fleas and Ticks * Tested for FIV and FELV * Treated for any Medical or Surgical Problems as Needed * Given a Series of FRVCP Immunizations (additional booster shots may be required for kittens) * A Rabies Vaccination if over 4 months of age. * A Spay or Neuter (if a kitten is too young, a free spay/neuter clinic appointment is offered to the adopter). * All cats are Microchipped Our goal is to place all rescued felines in a permanent, appropriate, safe and loving home. Please note that CARE reserves the right to deny applications without a stated reason.
