In the shelter’s words
Hi, I'm Butters! I am the definition of a "spicy kitty." I joined rescue in 2022 as a very timid and feisty girl after being taken in from a hoarding case. Due to the environment I lived in for several years, I did not know how to trust humans yet. I have since learned that people are not so bad and as long as you're willing to take the time to get to know me, I might really warm up to you. I have come a long way over the years! The volunteers that care for me have shown me that the world is not that scary of a place and have allowed me to come out of my shell at my own pace, so I am hoping to find an adopter that will give me the same patience. For example, it took over a year before I let anyone at the rescue touch me or pick me up. I like some other cats but only if they mind their business, I really don't care to play with others. I am quite scared of dogs and and not fond of children so I would prefer a home without either of them please. I am becoming more and more adventurous by the day, it's a slow and steady process for me! I love treats and chasing laser pointers which are by far my favorite toy! I am looking for my forever home, but it is very important that my new owners know I need patience, space, and time in order for me to reveal my true self! I will do best in a quiet and settled home that has minimal change, I don't think I would enjoy being with a renter or someone who moved around frequently. I am a kitty with a whole lot of personality and love if you are up for the challenge! Butter's adoption fee is $85 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations and FeLV/FIV testing. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, we look for adopters who have a history of having kept their pets altered and kept current on vaccinations and preventatives. If you would like to meet Butters, please submit an adoption application for consideration at Adopthope.org

Shelter-listed fee: $85
Prior to adoption, all of our dogs have been tested for heartworm, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and home visit. The adoption fee for dogs and puppies varies. Prior to adoption, our cats have been tested for feline leukemia, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. If at the time of adoption, the kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered, an agreed upon time frame will be set for when this procedure is to be done. Spaying or neutering is not an optional procedure, it is required of all animals we rescue. The adoption fee for cats and kittens varies.
