Meet Faxi!
Read more about Faxi
If you are looking for an adorable, sweet, loving, playful, active kitten, Faxi is your guy. Found on the streets at 5 months old, Faxi was congested and had a head tilt. Upon bringing him to the vet it was found that he had a polyps in his right ear that was causing him to tilt his head to one side, and was also causing congested sound he was hearing. He has had surgery to remove the polyps and is recovering nicely in his foster home. His head tilt only makes him look cuter, but should resolve itself in time. He will do fine in a home with kids and other cats. He has not been introduced to dogs. He will make a great addition to your home and provide you with much entertainment.

How to adopt from Animals for Life, Inc.
All of our prospective adopters must fill out an adoption application and review the application with one of our adoption counselors. The adoption application will enable us to get to know you and your family a little better and help us to better match you with a pet that will suit your lifestyle. We request that all members of a family be present at the time of application. It's important to us that all members of your household be comfortable with the animals that you are considering for adoption. We try to ensure that the animals you are looking at are a safe and compatible match for all members of your family by giving you information about the activity level, training needs and general personality traits of the animals in our care. We try very hard to make the best possible match between your home and one of our pets, so we do reserve the right to deny any application. We also will accept multiple applications on the same animal in an effort to find it the best home. We require written permission from your landlord or management company in the event that you rent your residence. Animals for Life checks veterinarian references and may make a home visit either before or after a pet is adopted. We do not ship any animal. We remain available for assistance and follow-up advice after a pet goes to a new home. Remember, our job begins with an adoption -- we are always happy to hear from you! Our adoption counselors are available to answer any training or behavior question

How to adopt from Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc.
NVEcats,The Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc.(NVEcats), finds homes for homeless, abandoned, and abused cats, rescued from the mean streets of Cairo, Egypt, working diligently to find responsible and loving Pet Parents in the USA. We work with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) supported charities in Egypt who have rescued abandoned, neglected and abused animals. Almost all of these animals have survived hunger, poisonings, and illnesses before entering the safety of the Egyptian Mau Rescue Organization –EMRO and/or other NGOs. Our adoption process begins with an adoption application which will be provided to any interested adult 21 years of age, or older. We will also require a veterinarian’s reference. We are looking for very special people who truly care about these animals, not as property, but who will be accepted as loving, long-term companions being welcomed into the lives of their adoptive families. Our priority is to ensure the cats will never again need to be rescued, will never be hungry and, most importantly, will never be abused. In order to accomplish this goal, we ask all potential adoptive parents to fully fill out and complete a detailed adoption application. Adoption from NVEcats means that you will be asked to make a tax deductible adoption donation, pay for spaying/neutering, and any other medical care required before the felines are allowed to enter into the USA. Foster homes for cats and kittens newly arrived in the US are also availabl

Adopting a cat in Belle Terre
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
