My story

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

HISTORY: TESUQUE was rescued as a friendly stray in need of an indoor forever home.
TEMPERAMENT: TESUQUE charmed his way into his rescuer's home, where he enjoyed sleeping with them.  He was chipped, but unfortunately his chip had never been registered, and efforts to locate an owner failed. This healthy buff orange fluff is approximately 5 years old. He loves brushing and caregiver attention, although he can get quickly over-stimulated and DOES NOT want his tummy rubbed. TESUQUE warns other kitties to give him space with a growl, so he may prefer to be an only cat.
AGE:   born approx. 12/17/2019
MICROCHIP #:  -0906
DATE OF STERILIZATION: neutered, date unknown
VAX RECORD: FVRCP #1: 12/17/24, FVRCP #2: 1/15/25; FVRCP expires: 1/15/26; Rabies expires: 12/20/25
FELV/FIV test: 12/20/24 neg

More about this rescue

Felines & Friends is dedicated to rescuing and placing pets in need of a second chance; working towards zero pet overpopulation by facilitating low-cost spay/neuter; and improving the lives of both companion animals and their owners through on-going education.

In recent years, significant strides have been made in reducing the euthanasia rate of dogs and cats all across the nation. FELINES & FRIENDS plays an important role in this effort by supporting community TNR efforts, spaying/neutering and then rehoming unaltered stray and surrendered cats, and (through collaboration with local shelters) rehoming otherwise homeless or special needs cats and kittens. Since its formation in 2002, FELINES & FRIENDS has gained a reputation in Northern New Mexico for its proactive work in the pairing of cats and their humans. To date, we have placed over 6,000 cats (and dogs) into loving homes.

FELINES & FRIENDS utilizes a comprehensive adoption screening process to enhance the fit between pet and their adoptive family. The organization also maintains a strict return policy if ownership commitment cannot be met.
