Hello, my furiends! Have you ever met a cat that seems so amazing, so gentle, and so incredibly perfect? You wonder if the furangels above serendipitously orchestrated the most adorable meet-cute at the most opportune time in your life...well, wonder no more! We are about to introduce you to Holly, 1 year 2 months old beautiful calico who is an absolute darling. Several months ago, Holly was seen on one of the Scruffy cameras, hungry, just trying to survive living in the Big Outside. Upon arrival at the shelter, she melted in our arms and melted our hearts. Holly is extremely friendly and gets along with other respectful cats. While in our care, she has not been exposed to dogs or young children, but because of her sweet nature, she would do well with older children.
Thank you for being so interested in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If you see this post, we still accept applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). Please refrain from emailing us regarding availability.
All adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, rabies and distemper vaccinations, proof of FIV/feline leukemia testing, flea treatment, deworming, and an exam by a licensed veterinarian.
Our shelter hours are by appointment only and are not open to the public. Many of our cats and kittens are located in foster homes. An adoption application MUST be submitted and approved before meeting our cats/kittens. We do this for the safety of our fosters and potential adopters.
