Tuketu's Story

Tuketu is a shy, laid back elderly fellow in good health - fully vetted, with a little sniffly condition the vet said he’s probably had since birth. He is quiet and polite with excellent litterbox manners, and fine around other cats. He spent many years on the streets near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, always happy to see his caretaker who fed him and the rest of the colony every day. One day last fall, his caretaker trapped him and his remaining friends and brought them to her home when she learned of an illness that would prevent her from traveling to care for them. He especially enjoys the company of his colony friend and foster brother Hototo. It would be great if they could be adopted out together. Tuteku was born around 2007.

Anjellicle Cats Rescue's Adoption Policy

Our adoption process is as follows. We have all interested adopters complete an application which can be found on our website www.anjelliclecats.com. Please note some foster caregivers are comfortable introducing you to their cat via FaceTime or similar platform. Others still prefer a hand-to-paw meeting. Once your application is approved, we schedule you to attend a seminar in cat care that lasts about 75 minutes. We invite both experienced and novice alike and are presently offering this as a Zoom session. Then you would sign the adoption papers, pay the adoption fee, and make arrangements for the cat to be moved to your home. We always do a home visit which is both reassuring to the cat when it is being introduced and to the foster who has taken care of the cat. Presently we are doing home visits with FaceTime or Zoom to confirm you have secure windows and a generally safe environment for a cat. Then we coordinate pick up by the adopter or drop off by the foster, depending on what both parties are comfortable doing. The adoption fee is $150 for one cat under 7 years old, and $75 for one cat 7 years and older. This fee includes initial shots, microchipping, deworming, and spay/neuter.
