TIPPER the TALKER's Story

Meet TIPPER the TALKER, a beautiful soul with a unique story. She comes to us through Duffie’s Dames Animal Rescue, founded in honor of her late mama, a brave woman who served our country and was injured in Iraq. In September 2019, after years of service, TIPPER the TALKER’s mama passed away from her injuries, and in her honor, Duffie’s Dames has dedicated itself to finding perfect homes for animals just like TIPPER.<br/><br/>TIPPER the TALKER is a “next-to-you” kitty—she may not be a lap cat, but she will happily sit beside you, always near, always keeping you company. While she’s not in urgent need of a home, as she’s safe in our sanctuary, we are seeking that one perfect home where she can truly thrive. Her ideal family would include another male kitty who enjoys grooming and cuddling, as she has a soft spot for her feline brothers. While she can tolerate dogs, she prefers a quieter environment where she isn’t overwhelmed by barking.<br/><br/>If you’re someone who has a cozy spot on your couch or beside your favorite chair, and you’d love a quiet companion who enjoys sunny windows and peaceful moments, TIPPER the TALKER might be the perfect fit. She’s had a few potential homes over the years, but none have quite clicked, and we believe her forever family is still out there.<br/><br/>We follow a thorough adoption process to ensure it’s the right match for both the pet and the adopter, including phone conversations, meet-and-greets, and a transparent adoption contract. If you’re interested in learning more or believe your home could be her forever haven, please reach out to us.<br/><br/><br/>CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH PETS and Pets with People<br/><br/><br/>Letter to Potential Adopter<br/><br/>Dear Potential Adopter,<br/><br/>Thank you for considering the possibility of bringing TIPPER the TALKER into your home. You should know she holds a special place in our hearts here at Duffie’s Dames Animal Rescue, which was founded in honor of her late mama, a remarkable woman who served our country with courage and compassion. TIPPER has been with us since her mama’s passing in 2019, and though she has found safety and comfort in our sanctuary, we believe there is still a forever home waiting for her.<br/><br/>TIPPER the TALKER is a gentle spirit who would be best suited for a home that understands and appreciates her unique personality. While she may not sit in your lap, she will faithfully sit beside you, content just to be near. Her peaceful nature makes her the perfect companion for quiet moments, and she would thrive in a household with another male kitty who enjoys grooming and snuggling with her.<br/><br/>We know adopting a pet is a big decision, and that’s why we’re committed to finding the perfect match. Our adoption process begins with a conversation to get to know you and your home. If it feels right for everyone, we schedule a meet-and-greet—sometimes bringing the kitty along, other times meeting without her to make sure it’s the best fit. From there, we move to our adoption questionnaire, and if all goes well, finalize the adoption with an official contract. We even provide some supplies to help with the transition.<br/><br/>It’s important to us that every adoption is the right one, both for our animals and the people who adopt them. We truly believe that TIPPER the TALKER will find her perfect home in her own time, and if you feel she could be the one for you, we would love to speak with you more.<br/><br/>Thank you again for your interest and for opening your heart to a special kitty like TIPPER the TALKER.<br/><br/>Warm regards,<br/>Duffie’s Dames Animal Rescue<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>A fellow member of our Board lovingly wrote this Poem for TIPPER the TALKER …<br/><br/>In honor of her mama, who served with pride,<br/>TIPPER the TALKER waits by your side.<br/>Not a lap, but near she’ll be,<br/>Your silent companion in quiet harmony.<br/><br/>A soft paw rests, a gentle purr,<br/>A bond like hers, both calm and sure.<br/>She seeks a friend, both kind and true,<br/>Who’ll love her as her mama would do.<br/><br/>Her heart is open, her spirit bright,<br/>A little kitty with a soul of light.<br/>If you feel her calling and know it’s meant to be,<br/>Then maybe you’re the home for TIPPER the TALKER to be free.

Duffie's Dames Animal Rescue & Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
DUFFIE’S DAMES Adoption Process & Fees Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our rescued animals! As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work tirelessly to save the lives of cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens, and find them loving, forever homes. Here is a simple breakdown of our adoption process and fees: 1. Application Fee To begin the adoption process, we ask for a $25 non-refundable application fee. This fee helps cover administrative costs, including: • Reviewing applications • Conducting background checks • Communicating with potential adopters (calls, texts, and emails) • Keeping track of paperwork and maintaining records While this fee is non-refundable, it serves as a donation that supports our mission to rescue and care for animals in need. It ensures that we can continue dedicating our resources to each application with care. 2. Adoption Questionnaire After submitting the application fee, you will need to complete our Adoption Questionnaire. This helps us get to know you better, understand your home environment, and determine the best match for your family and lifestyle. 3. In-Home Meet-and-Greet Once your application is approved, and we have a potential match for you, we will schedule an in-home meet-and-greet. This allows you to meet the animal in your home environment to ensure compatibility and provide the best chance for a successful adoption. 4. Final Adoption Contract If the meet-and-greet goes well, and you decide to move forward with the adoption, a final adoption contract will be filled out, solidifying the adoption of your new pet into your home. 5. Adoption Fees Once the adoption contract is signed, the adoption fees are as follows: • Kittens: $100 - $150 • Adult Cats: $50 - $100 • Puppies: $200 - $350 • Adult Dogs: $100 - $250 These fees help cover the cost of veterinary care, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and any necessary treatments. 6. Payment Methods Adoption fees can be paid by: • Check • Zelle • Cash Please ensure that all payments are completed at the time of signing the adoption contract. 7. Special Programs We offer Angel Donor Programs, where generous donors have contributed to cover part or all of the adoption fees for specific animals. Please inquire about these opportunities when applying. 8. Additional Contributions Any amount that you are willing to donate above the adoption fee is greatly appreciated. Your donations help us continue our work by providing for the next animal in need of rescue, medical care, and a loving home.
