Fancy Feline Rescue of the South, a non-profit, no-kill rescue licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, is a small rescue organization with a big heart for the "Fancy Feline" breeds - particularly Persian, Himalayan, Exotic, Ragdoll, Birman, Maine Coon, Siamese, and other CFA- and TICA-recognized breeds and mixes. Our goal is to provide tender, loving care and safe-haven for those cats that are abandoned, abused, neglected, or no longer wanted by their owners, and to find appropriate, adoptive forever homes for each. While in our care, Fancy Feline Rescue of the South strives to give one-on-one socialization, providing the individual attention these cats so often need. We work strictly out of no more than five exclusive foster homes. Those foster homes are carefully screened, home visits are made, and each foster family is required to have no more than four foster cats at any time, thereby allowing individual attention and plenty of TLC for each cat. Fancy Feline Rescue of the South is dedicated to providing individual attention and the best care possible for our cats. We evaluate each cat as to temperament, fully vet before adoption, and place them with the best adoptive home to meet the needs of the specific cat.
Please understand that the Adoption Process is not an overnight process, but we will work as quickly and efficiently as possible to ensure a successful adoption. This is what you can expect with regard to the adoption process: Submit Adoption Application. Please note that if you fail provide any information requested, your application may not be considered, so please make sure you fill it out completely. Your application will be reviewed by Fancy Feline Rescue of the South as soon as possible after receiving it. Fancy Feline Rescue of the South reserves the right to deny any application for any reason. References and Vet Reference will be contacted, so make sure the information given to us is correct. You will be notified either by email or phone whether the Application has been approved or denied. Arrangements can then be made for you to come meet the kitties. The Adoption Fee is required at the time of adoption. Your new Fancy Feline can go home with you the same day. Because we want your new Fancy Feline to be properly protected and arrive to it's new home safely, our policy is that when you leave with your new Fancy Feline, the cat must be contained, so be prepared with a carrier! If you are not quite ready to take your new Fancy Feline home that day, we do accept deposits of 50% of the adoption fee to "hold" a Fancy Feline for you. This will guarantee that the cat will not be adopted to anyone else. The balance of the Adoption Fee is expected at the time you are scheduled to pick up your new Fancy Feline. If you have any questions at all about the adoption process, please feel free to email or call.
