Winken's Story

Meet Winken! Winken is a friendly, affectionate cat who is looking for a calm home. He enjoys being held and will relax completely in your arms. He also likes attention and will happily follow his person from room to room to be close by. He is neutered, healthy, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. In a new environment, Winken may take a little time to feel confident, especially around other animals. With patience and a slow introduction, he settles in well and becomes very devoted once he knows he is safe. Winken would do best with a relaxed household, a comfortable place to rest, and an adopter who wants a companion cat that is affectionate and present. If you are looking for a sweet cat who bonds closely with his person, Winken may be a great fit!

Star City TNR and Rescue's Adoption Policy

Star City TNR and Rescue Adoption Policies: Indoor-Only Policy: All adopted cats must be kept indoors at all times to ensure their safety and well-being. No Declawing: Adopters must agree not to declaw their cat, as it is a painful and unnecessary procedure that can cause long-term behavioral and health issues. Return to Rescue: If an adopter can no longer care for their cat for any reason, they must return the cat to Star City TNR and Rescue rather than rehoming or surrendering it elsewhere. Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees help cover a portion of veterinary care, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, and any other necessary medical treatment. Fees are as follows: Kittens (under 6 months): $120 Adults (6 months – 7 years): $100 Seniors (7+ years): $50 Application Process: All potential adopters must complete an adoption application, which includes vet and personal references. Meet-and-Greet: Adopters are encouraged to meet the cat in its foster home or a designated adoption space to ensure a good fit. Landlord Approval: If the adopter rents their home, they must provide proof of pet-friendly housing. Home Environment: Adopters should ensure a safe and stable home environment, including introducing the new cat properly to any existing pets. Trial Period: In some cases, we may offer a short foster-to-adopt period to ensure the cat is a good match for the household. Post-Adoption Support: We remain available to offer guidance and support to adopters to ensure a smooth transition for their new pet.
