Description

She knows how to use the scratching post and is comfortable in a carrier (or at least, as comfortable as a cat can be). We’ve been working on teaching her commands like “come” and “down”, and she is learning quickly. Her favorite toys are a wand that looks like a mouse and a toy that looks like avocado toast. While we haven’t known her to fetch, she has lots of fun chasing things on her own terms.

Milena would work best in a home with someone who can spend lots of time with her. She’s a sweet, affectionate cat who loves aggressive chin scratches and will plop into your lap if she trusts you. She’s so confident that you can hold a brush out for her and she will rub herself against it. (Hey, she knows what she likes!) While we don’t know how she would feel with other animals, she would certainly thrive in a busy home with a lot going on and we suspect she would love a cat friend. A home with large windows would be great, as she loves to look outside and observe nature.

Adoption process

1. Submit an adoption application at www.thecatsmeowanimalrescue.org

2. If you have not yet met the cat(s) you wish to adopt, come to an adoption event or schedule a foster home visit to meet the cat(s). Please note that we cannot schedule any private foster home visits until you submit an application.

3. If your application is approved, we will contact you within a week to schedule a home visit. One of our experienced volunteers will stop by your home to ensure that you are able to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the cat. We may also provide tips for integrating the cat into your home environment.

4. We ask for a minimum tax-deductible donation* of $200.00 for each cat you adopt from us. Donations may be made online (via a secure PayPal transaction) or in-person via cash or check.

*Additional donations are highly encouraged, as they enable us to rescue another cat from the shelter or the streets. Because our organization is a non-profit run entirely by volunteers, we rely solely on donations to continue rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abandoned and neglected cats.

5. We will have you sign an Adoption Agreement detailing the terms of the adoption at the time you collect your new kitty. You may view a copy of it on our website.

6. That’s it! You will communicate with the cat’s foster parents to coordinate pick-up. Please always transport your cat in a carrier for safety.

7. We will email or mail you a copy of your Adoption Agreement, a letter confirming your donation, and medical records and microchip information. This usually takes about 2 weeks.

In addition to receiving individualized medical care, we provide the following services to our cats: spay/neuter, microchip, testing for FELV/FIV, flea and dewormer treatments, and vaccinations.
