Nami is a very sweet girl who gets along great with her foster kitty friends. She was adopted once but returned due to another kitty picking on her. She is a very chunky girl who is very laid back but does give love nibbles to her humans so probably should not go to a home with small children. She very much seeks out the company of other cats and needs to either be adopted with one of her foster buddies or go to a home with another cat. She is very affectionate and likes attention from her foster family.
Nami’s time in our program and still needing a home is an example of why we are paused for intakes. We need adoptions. Our longtime fosters deserve forever homes. We can’t continue to take in when they don’t find homes. Our resources and space and fosters are limited. We have to take care of the ones we’ve already rescued.
Since March of this year we have greatly had to limit intakes and the last crew we purposely rescued were the Lake crew (12 cats and kittens). Any other kittens/cats that came to the rescue’s program since then showed up at their foster homes, and because the foster agreed to house them we could accept them. When we do accept cats they are primarily through CatsFirst or cats/kittens our fosters rescue through colonies they tend to and find dumped cats. We also have to remain available to take back cats that may be returned. We do not accept cats needing to be rehomed.
For the past few years adoptions have decreased. Even with adoption specials. Even with waived fee. There are simply too many cats because many are not being spay/neutered.
