Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Hornell, New York

I am a shy, but sweet girl, looking for a nice quiet home to call my own. It takes me a little bit to feel comfortable with strangers, but once I know your not so scary, them I'll start purring and begging for pets! I was originally adopted from HAHS when I was a little baby, and sadly my family recently returned me. My family said one of the kitties in the home wasn't using the litter box, and they told the shelter they believed it was me and they didn't want me anymore. Since I have returned to HAHS I have not had any issues with using my litter box. The shelter also ran some medical tests just incase there was something more going on, and those tests all came back clear. My shelter family told me that maybe my previous home became to stressful for me or the other kitty in the home, causing one of us to develope the bad potty habits. My shelter family says they feel a nice, quiet home will be best for me, as they believe it may have been a stress related behavior. If you're willing to give a sweet girl like me a second chance, please stop in and meet me!

I would do best in an adult only home, but I may be able to go to a home with children 12+ who are able to understand my body language and respect my boundaries.

**Please note: Animals who are not yet spayed/ neutered will be sent to their adoptive homes on Foster to Adopt, and will be required to return to our facility for all medical needs (vaccinations, dewormings, spay/ neuter, etc). Depending on the animals needs this could be anywhere between 1 - 4 return visits to the shelter. Once the animal has been fixed, their adoption would then be finalized and the adoptive family would take them to their personal vet from there on out. Please take this into consideration prior to submitting an adoption application.**

VIP CATS PROGRAM(Very Introverted Personalities)Some of our longest shelter residents are shy cats. Once given the benefit of time to get to know you, they make friends. Most love and enjoy pets and spending time with their special humans, but prefer not to be picked up and held. All have outstanding personalities!!! Some prefer and have a special feline friend they snuggle with and cannot live without.Adoption fees for VIP CATS are only $35 (standard adoption policies apply).Interested adopter's should email info@fingerlakesspca.org or message our Facebook page for more info., to confirm the continued adoption availability of a particular cat and for an application (or you can stop by our shelter on 72 Cameron Street in Bath) to pick one up. Adoption visits for VIP CATS are by appointment only. VIP PROGRAM CATS are best suited to quiet cat experienced homes.

 Joyful Rescues is considering Tom to be a sanctuary kitty with us.  It's not that he is feral as are the other 6 sanctuary kitties here that live in the basement, garage, outside, with cat doors open 24/7.  Tom is a friendly kitty, but he seems really elderly and it also seems that he has lived a rather rough life and likely mostly, if not all, outside.  He was not neutered until he arrived....maybe his playboy days were over so he decided to find a nice retirement home as he invited himself to live here.  Whether one of the other cats showed him all the doors or he found them himself is a mystery, but he's not the first kitty to simply appear in our basement.  He was afraid of us humans at first, but warmed up quickly once he realized he was safe.  Tom is very happy here and hangs around the humans when outside.  We have noticed that his eyes seem 'weepy' and his breathing is audible.  Other than this he seems healthy for his age and has a good appetite and gets around just fine.  Just an absolute guess maybe he was born in 2009.  Would we welcome an adoption for Tom?  Yes, as long as we felt he would be happier there than he is here. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime. The ADOPTION FEE:  There is no fee for Tom. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A CAT FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption.
