Susie Q's Story

Susie Q (about 8 months old as of 10/27/25) is a spayed female black shorthaired kitten. Susie is a little on the shy side, a really bashful girl who secretly likes attention but doesn't have the boldness to go out and demand it like some of her foster siblings do. She doesn't let her shyness stop her from a good play session, though! She's great with other cats and would do best adopted with another kitten or to a home with a playful cat who wouldn't mind having a meek little sister. She hasn't had a lot of dog experience but she might do okay with a really calm dog. Susie would not be our first choice for families with small kids as she'll get overwhelmed by too much chaos and may just opt to hide around them.

Spay and Stay's Adoption Policy

If you think you might be interested in one of our cats please fill out our adoption application at https://www.spayandstay.org/cat-adoption/. We will then work with you to ensure a good match and can arrange a meeting with the kitty or kitties you are most interested in. We require a small donation as an adoption fee that varies depending on the age of the cat or kitten and offer a "bulk discount" for adopters willing to take on more than one kitty. Adult cats over 1 year- $80, Kittens 6 months - 1 year- $100; $175 for a pair. Kittens under 6 months- $125; $225 for 2, or $325 for 3 kittens. The adoption fee in each case includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Because pet adoption is not our primary mission we have no central animal shelter and rely solely on a network of volunteer foster homes to house and socialize our adoptable cats. While we don't have one convenient location to come and meet all of our available cats at once our individual foster parents get to work very closely with each kitty and can speak to what they are like in a home environment. We always take our kitties back if things aren't working out after a little time so we're passionate about helping you find the right match.
