West's Story

Meet West, a beautiful tortie girl (estimated DOB 7/14/2025) who has already been through more than most kittens her age. West is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She can be a bit shy at first, especially in new environments or with unfamiliar people, but beneath that cautious exterior is a gentle, curious girl who just needs a little time to come out of her shell. In her foster home, she’s been slowly building confidence each day. West enjoys quiet companionship, cozy spots to relax, and watching the world go by from a safe perch. She loves playing with feather toys and pets. With patience and a calm home, she has all the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. If you have a soft spot for the underdogs and the reward of earning a shy cat’s trust sounds like your kind of love story, West is waiting for you!<br/><br/>West was found abandoned near a parking lot alongside her littermate, North, and safely trapped by a dedicated rescue partner who gave her a chance at a better life.<br/><br/>Because of her shy nature, West would do best with an adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to go at her pace. A quieter household (and certainly a familiar feline friend like her sister, North) could help her continue to thrive.<br/><br/>All kittens must be adopted with another kitten or into a home with another young cat with which he or she can play and socialize. The majority of no-kill rescues nationwide adhere to this policy. This policy is NOT based on a desire to increase our number of adoptions, rather it ensures that the kittens we rescue, nurture, and love are adopted into homes that offer the best possible environment for their social development.<br/><br/>For more information on this policy:<br/>www.adoptapet.com/blog/how-to-cure-only-kitten-syndrome/<br/><br/>For more information and pictures, go to our website: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptable-pets/ <br/><br/>To submit an adoption application online: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptapp/<br/><br/>If you cannot adopt, please share to help West find a "furrever" home.<br/><br/>To make a donation via PayPal, USPS, or one of our current campaigns; to provide an item from our Amazon Wish List, or to sponsor an animal, please do so here: http://www.ppahrescue.org/donation/<br/><br/>All animals are already spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV tested negative, micro-chipped, de-wormed and have all necessary shots. They are ready to go to a loving home. Adoption fee is $175.00 each.<br/><br/>If you have any questions, please email Admin@PPAHrescue.org. <br/><br/>Thank you.

Precious Pets Almost Home Association's Adoption Policy
Please help our homeless pets in need by adopting from Precious Pets Almost Home. All of our cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, de-wormed, flea-treated, up to date on vaccines and treated for ear mites. Cats are tested for FIV/Leukemia. Dogs are Heartworm tested. Our modest adoption fee is $175.00 for cats and $400.00 for dogs (unless otherwise noted). Some purebred cats or dogs may have a higher adoption fee. Please understand that the higher adoption fee for certain purebred animals allows us to rescue more animals and it is still much, much less than what you would pay a breeder or pet store!  Adopter is contractually bound to return their adopted animal to PPAH if for any reason the adoption does not work out.  We do not return adoption donations after 14 days.  If animals are adopted together, they must be returned together. We do not adopt single kittens into homes with no other pets, namely cats. This policy is in the best interest of the cats in our care and is shared by many rescue groups nationwide. Applicant must demonstrate the ability and commitment to provide proper care, exercise and vetting for the lifetime of the pet. PPAH reserves the right to approve or decline any adoption applications that do not meet the organization's adoption criteria, as determined at its' sole discretion. PPAH is a foster-based non-profit rescue run solely by volunteers. The application process can take a few days with the verification of vetting, residency, and references. We appreciate your patience. For more on our policies visit our website www.ppahrescue.org/adoption-info/
