Currently, Cattyshack, Inc, is running a sponsorship drive, but we have had a lot of people ask – what does it mean when a cat or kitten is sponsored?
When a cat or kitten is sponsored, it means that their adoption fees have either been fully paid for or partly paid for – most of the time they have been fully paid for. The sponsored cat or kitten then can be adopted without cost to the adopter, after the adopter has been approved of course. Cattyshack, Inc, does not allow for same day adoptions. If a potential adopter would like to adopt a kitten or cat they do have to apply and be approved, even if the cat or kitten is a sponsored adoption. We also do not allow kittens to go into homes without other cats as they can fall prey to single kitten syndrome – meaning they lose their social skills and often return to some of their feral behaviors. Unless otherwise stated, we always like our cats to have a friend in the home to play, communicate, and snuggle with.
Below are some of our sponsored cats and kittens.
Boo and Luna are sisters who have to be adopted together as they are a bonded pair.
Mork and Zim are brothers who have to be adopted together as they are a bonded pair. Zim only has one eye, but he gets around and plays perfectly. Since they are both sponsored you get two for the price of None!
Sleepy was sponsored and cannot wait for her forever home. She loves playing with feather toys and grew up in a foster home that has dogs.
Dr. Teeth came in as a pregnant momma, and all of her kittens were small little tabbies that, even now, can be hard to tell apart. She was sponsored and is happy to be free of her babies.
Lips is one of Dr. Teeth’s babies. She is a little shy at the lounge, but when she is in her foster home she is running and running and chasing her foster siblings until she tires out and plops down. She was sponsored to celebrate someone’s birthday.
Joey is another sponsored kitten and is fun to play with. He loves playing with other kittens and would do well with another kitten his age.
Babybel is no relation to Joey. She had her cheese litter and is not ready to find her home. Babybel is also a sponsored cat, and she would love a gentle home as she needs a moment to get used to you. Once she does get used to you she is a purr-fest and does not stop!
Chandler is a beautiful girl who wants to find her forever home. The rest of her siblings have been adopted and she has been sponsored so she too can find an awesome home.
Mary Shelley and Octavia E Butler were recently sponsored so they can be adopted together. These girls love chasing each other around the house (and their foster siblings) and when they tire they love snuggling with each other, and will snuggle with you too. Octavia is a little shy at first, but once she comes around she is the sweetest little girl.
Charles Dickens is still a somewhat skittish young man. He’s not so sure that the lounge is the safest place… yet. He is going to be an amazing ginger kitty when he’s ready to show someone that he trusts and loves them, and we hope to find him the right family to do just that! Anyone who wants to adopt him is going to need to be patient as he learns that people are safe. But, look at those amazing airplane ears! They are so awesome and cute.
