Melvin - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Bellevue, Nebraska

My name is Melvin and I am a happy-go-lucky, lovable guy! I'm a cute black boy with white toes, belly and mustache.

I am loving life; constantly romping and chasing my littermates, Elmer, Edwin, Emiline and Mortimer.

We run in kitty stampedes through the house and eventually collapse in sleeping piles of adorableness. Since we were hand-raised we are purr-on-contact kitties and love people. We love to sleep on our people, even when they are trying to work at their desk. We enjoy playing on our own but also love playing with toys with you. We are very curious and will try to investigate everything. You should see us chase each other in the kitty tunnel, hilarious! Our cuteness is off the charts! We are still young and learning manners; not to use claws, climb up you and nip. We are comfortable with adults, kids and toddlers. There are several adult cats in the home and a French bulldog; we love everyone!

If you are looking for a snuggly kitten that loves to play, I'm your guy. If I'm the right fit, please fill out an application to meet me and my littermates!

Melvin was brought into one of our shelter partners at only 7 days old with 4 siblings. They were transferred into the very capable hands of our bottle feeding team.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Melvin, PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE, www.thefosterkittenproject.org AND COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION today.

The adoption fee is $175 and covers age appropriate vaccines, tests, a microchip, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures.

The majority of our cats/kittens are in foster care and we must be respectful of the foster family's time. An approved application is required prior to setting up the meet and greet. After the meeting, if you believe you have met your new family member, you would be able to take them home the same day.

Please know that we do vet checks and property checks on all our applicants. If you have pets currently, all pets must be current on ALL MAINTENANCE VETERINARY CARE AND ALTERED. (This includes core vaccines, heartworm testing and prevention for dogs, virus testing for cats). We check deeds and call landlords to ensure the cat is allowed on your lease.

VETTING INFORMATION CAN BE PROVIDED BY YOUR VET (WE WILL CALL THEM) OR BY SUBMITTING THE PAPERWORK BUT IT MUST BE VERIFIED. If you have a pet that has been deceased within 2 years, we will also need to verify that pet was current on all medical care or as recommended by your veterinarian at the time oftheir passing.

Due to limited resources for local vetting, adoptions may be delayed until after kittens are altered. Wait times may vary until age-appropriate vetting can be performed prior to adoption.

THE FOSTER KITTEN PROJECT IS A RESCUE THAT FOCUSES ON NEONATALS. Not all Kittens posted are ready for their Forever home immediately and may need further foster and veterinary care. Kittens that do go to forever homes are FULLY vaccinated, Spayed/Neutered, Microchipped, Dewormed, FIV/FELV tested, and fecaltested PRIOR to going home with you.
