Fat Cat Rescue

Fat Cat Rescue Our vision is a community where every animal is cared for. Visiting our sanctuary is by appointment only. Thank you!

FAT CAT RESCUE is a 501C3 licensed rescue for all types of animals who are lucky enough to come through our doors. We have received our 501C3 non-profit tax status and now all donations are tax deductible. When cats come to us they may be sick and skinny, but by the time we've loved them up they have become Fat Cats with healthy bodies, higher self esteem, greater trust in humans and a joy of livi

ng they haven't experienced in a long time if ever. So when we call a cat "Fat" we mean healthy and happy in every way possible.

We have a full house of cuteness ready for adoption applications!

Meet:
*Sammie – A petite black beauty and proud mom of 8.

*Her kittens (born 8/18) – Baloo, Adora, Tigger, Jackal, Panther, Lulu, Moon, and Stripe. They’ll be 5 weeks old on Monday and are now posted for pre-adoption.

*Three sisters (born 7/9) – Finley, Fiona, and Farrah. They’re siblings to Poppy and Piper, who have already been posted, and are ready for homes of their own.

*Three brothers – Rafiki, Simba, and Mufasa. Coco, who is their foster sister and is also available for adoption, may not be their mom, but she’s shown them love while they wait for their forever families.

Kittens thrive in pairs. Adopting two means they entertain and comfort each other, adjust more easily, and grow up happier and healthier. Plus, you get double the fun and love.

If your home has room for one, two, or even more, fill out an application today. Your new best friend is waiting.

See more pictures and apply: FatCatRescueInc.org/adoptabe-cats or search their name in the search bar at the top of the website.

By order of the Peaky Blinders… Ada and Tommy Shelby have found their forever home!

These two loyal siblings went home today with their new mom, and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you to her for giving them a family of their own, and to their foster family for raising such a playful, bonded pair.

The Shelby crew is together, safe, and starting their next chapter. Cheers to a lifetime of love and loyalty.

🐾 Winter Prep for Our Feral Yard ! ❄️

Our feral cats are getting ready for the colder months and we are working hard to keep them safe and warm. We're replacing and adding fresh straw to their houses and shelters and may need to update or replace their heated water bowls to ensure they have access to clean water all winter long.

If you’re able to spare $5 this week, it would mean the world to our Fat Cat Feral
Yard family. Every little bit helps us keep these sweet souls comfortable and cared for. 💛

Hear ye, hear ye! Sir Waffles has found his forever home!

This sweet, gentle boy stole our hearts with his affectionate nature, and now he has a new mom to call his own. A huge thank you to his foster family for giving him a safe and loving place to land until adoption day. And thank you to his new mom for opening her heart and home to him.

We’re so happy for you both!

We are in urgent need for a foster home for two sweet bonded cats, TyTy and Skittles.

TyTy is a 10-year-old black male, and Skittles is a 1-year-old gray and white female. They are both friendly and love to cuddle. Their world has been turned upside down since their mom passed away, and now they need a safe place to land together.

The family has been caring for them as best as they can, but they can only hold on a little longer. They’ve reached out to us asking if we can help find someone willing to foster.

Fostering gives cats like TyTy and Skittles the chance to feel secure and loved while we search for their forever home. We provide support, you provide the space and care.

If you’ve ever thought about opening your home to foster, this pair needs you now. Please reach out if you can help.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
