Yankee

Hello, my furiends! Welcome Yankee to the Scruffy Paws family! Yankee is a one-year-old male tuxedo kitty who always dresses for the party. He is friendly and loves attention. Yankee can be shy in new surroundings and around new people, but give him a little time and wave a few wand toys across his path, and this boy will perk right up. He enjoys being in the company of other cats, but we are unsure how he would be in a home with dogs. We recommend a home with older children for Yankee. 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.
