Fancy Cats Rescue Team

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.

Meet Calvin was at the shelter 2 months

Calvin is a curious, happy puppy! He is such a good boy and loves people. He loves walks and literally stops to smell the flowers on neighborhood strolls. He is also up for pets from all passers-by! He arrived at his foster's house a bit timid at first but quickly warmed up - he likes home life much better than shelter life! He likes to bask in the sun with the resident tortoise, and he is slowly getting introduced to his foster family's cat. (He is not aggressive at all but still learning the cat's "back off" signals.) He has enjoyed romps in the backyard with neighbor kids (ages 10-12); he might have a little too much puppy energy and size to live with smaller children although he is very curious and gentle when he encounters kids on walks. Calvin needs some training but is not possessive with food or toys and is eager to please. 

Adoption Process
Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
