My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Looking for a sophisticated girl who marches to the beat of her own drum? Meet Olivia, a stunning 2.5-year-old with a rags-to-riches tale that'll make you smile. This former West Virginia shelter gal has come a long way from the shy wallflower who thought the space behind the couch was prime real estate - though she's still discovering just how wonderful life can be!

By day, Olivia is your classic chill roommate - she's found her happy place watching the neighborhood soap opera unfold outside her window perch. But come nightfall, this girl's got places to be and things to do! She'll follow you around like a furry shadow, not-so-subtly hinting that it's time for her favorite activities: chasing that elusive red dot or showing string toys who's boss.

While Olivia isn't big on Netflix-and-cuddle sessions (she's more of an independent spirit), she's got her own way of showing love. Need a breakfast buddy? She'll be there! Want a playdate partner for your other pets? She's your girl! This social butterfly gets along swimmingly with other cats and even gives the paw of approval to cat-friendly dogs. In fact, she'd especially love a home with another playful cat to show her the ropes and help bring out her inner social butterfly even more!

Sure, she might not be a lap cat, but don't let that fool you - this lady appreciates a good head scratch and will show her appreciation in her own sweet way. Olivia's journey from scaredy-cat to blossoming beauty shows just how far love and patience can go, and she's ready to continue her adventure with a forever family who'll cherish her unique personality.

Looking for a pet who's equal parts elegance and entertainment, with room to grow? Olivia might just be your perfect match!

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteer

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

More about this rescue

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.
