In the shelter’s words
Meet Apple – The Playful Athlete with a Heart Overflowing with Love! With his adorable half-white, half-tabby coat and the sweetest little beauty mark on his nose (just like his mama!), Apple is truly one of a kind. This handsome boy is so sweet that his foster momma calls him Apple Pie. Apple starts out shy, but once you give him some time to trust, he is a total love bug and loves petting so much, he will roll over on his side and purr away. If you stop too soon, he will give you the gentlest tap with his paw to say, "More love please!" He has even gotten comfortable with short sessions of being held once he trusts you. He has come such a long way from the scared baby who was born on the streets in the bitterest cold of winter.Apple is still building his confidence with people, so he’ll do best in a patient home with an adopter who can give him time to trust and then will be rewarded with the sweetest, most affectionate boy. He would do well with older, calm children who understand how to go slow with him. Apple would love to have another playful cat in the home. He loves to play, wrestle and do zoomies with his kitty friends. He has a perfect energy level: fun and playful, but also calm and relaxed once he feels at home. Apple has been raised around small dogs and is very comfortable with them. He has also been raised around kittens and older cats, so he knows how to be respectful when an older kitty is ready for playtime to end. This little guy is a total athlete! Apple loves the feather wand and his jumps are seriously impressive, launching high into the air as he tries to catch his “bird,” often carrying his prize off to bed like a proud hunter. He will keep you smiling as you watch his joyful leaps.Apple loves to show his appreciation for his humans by running over for pets and will give nose kisses, where he will touch his little nose to yours to tell you how much he loves you and how happy he is to see you. Apple also has a soft spot for gentle singing—he’ll relax and even doze off when you sing to him in a calm, quiet voice. His foster mom would sing to Apple and his littermates when he will still a baby and too scared to let anyone pet him, so if you love to sing, Apple is an adoring audience.Apple is perfect with his litter box habits, is great about using his scratching post and is a gentle, sweet little dumpling. If you’re looking for a playful, loving boy who will show his gratitude for your love every day once you have his trust, Apple is ready to leap right into your heart.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
