In the shelter’s words
Meet Bacon — Small But MIGHTY! Bacon and her three siblings—Bagel, Brioche, and Butter—have a story that could have ended very differently. They arrived at the shelter far too young, scared, dirty, starving, and very sick with an upper respiratory infection. Their eyes were so goopy they could barely see, and they were having trouble breathing. Because they were so young and sick in an overcrowded shelter, they were placed on the euthanasia list. But then a volunteer stepped up to foster! We were able to rescue these babies just a couple of hours before they were scheduled to be euthanized, and with some much-needed love and medical care, they transformed. Now they're healthy, happy, playful, and finally getting the chance to show everyone just how special they are. Bacon may be the smallest of the Breakfast Club, but somebody forgot to tell her that she's supposed to act like it! This tiny girl is small but mighty and can absolutely hold her own in a wrestling match. Even when the older cats get a bit rough, Bacon is always the winner, growling and batting at her opponent fiercely before running off to find another playmate. Her favorite opponent? Her look a like friend Beatrix. They met when both kittens found themselves to be the last of their respective litters, and what a coincidence that they are total twins! With beautiful trabby stipes and slashes of orange across their faces and backs, these girls are absolute showstoppers. Bacon especially, with her on fleek white eyeliner and massive ears, she is truly a unique kitten. Underneath that feisty little wrestler is an incredibly sweet and gentle girl. Bacon starts purring almost immediately when you pick her up and absolutely loves curling up in someone's lap for a cozy snooze. She is a total lap cat and will sleep in the crook of your neck purring away each and every night. Of course, she also knows how to have fun! Bacon loves chasing wand toys, crinkly balls, and sparkly puff balls, and she is always ready for a good game with her siblings.Bacon has met lots of people, resident cats, and a small dog in her foster home. She can be a little shy and cautious when meeting someone new, but she's friendly and curious once she has a chance to figure things out. She has a sweet, demure little personality and just needs someone willing to give her the time and space to feel comfortable.She would likely do well with children of all ages and is still too young to be adopted as an only cat, so she needs a home with another young, playful kitty friend, like Beatrix! This tiny girl has already fought so hard to get here. Now she just needs a forever family who will show her that the rest of her story gets to be happy. Small? Yes. Mighty? Absolutely. Sweet? More than you could ever imagine.WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Thank you for your interest in Forever Fortunate Felines, a division of Fortunate Pooches and Lab Rescue. We are very happy to have the opportunity to match you with your purr-fect cat-panion! Once you complete the online application using the below link, you will be able to discuss and ask questions directly to the foster parent.  We believe this is a big advantage to you as our organization is completely foster based, we really understand our cats personalities at a deep level. This helps to ensure a great match with you and your family. In order to get the process going, would you kindly fill out our detailed online application located here: https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/11683/generic Completing our online application does not commit you to adopt from our rescue.  Rather it helps us to understand your requirements and match you with the best possible cat or kitten. Once you complete the application and it is approved, we can set up a meet and greet and if all works out, you may bring the kittens or cats home the same day. Please make sure to bring an adequately sized pet carrier with you to your meet and greet. We recommend a pet carrier which opens from the top as this is the easiest way to place a cat inside a carrier. If you do decide to adopt, we do expect you to take home your cat the same day as there are so many cats and kittens which need to be rescued from high kill shelters, we almost always rescue a new cat or kitten the very next day. If it is not possible for you to take your cat or kitten home the same day, we do charge a boarding fee of $3 per day for supplies and to encourage you to take your newly adopted cat home. We will board for a maximum of 3 days if needed to allow you time to get needed supplies. Our adoption fees are listed at the link below. This fee includes full vetting, flea treatment, de-worming, spay surgery, FeLV and FIV test, microchip insertion, and vaccinations up to date for the kittens or
