Hello, hoomans!
My name is Tama, which means “son of” in Maori (so my full name is te Tama o Tui since my mother’s name is Tui).
I am the biggest in my litter, but I am also the shyest. I am very talkative and will run to my foster mum and chat away. I like to be picked up and cuddled but only when I say so. Otherwise, I will follow you around to see what you are doing, a born supervisor!
My foster mum says I have the sweetest face and the softest fur, as well. Maybe you can confirm that!
Given my love for my siblings, I would be happy to be adopted out with my brother, Tama, but I can also go solo - so long as you are able to give me tons of attention!
If you would like to be considered for the position of my furever home, please feel free to apply to adopt me [below/on our website via this link:][c][d]! ALL INQUIRIES REGARDING ME MUST BE EMAILED TO petsalivecats@gmail.com.
Adoption Fee | $ 149
The feline adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescuing, such as vetting, food, kitty litter and other expenses.
Prior to adoption, cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and given flea treatment. In short, they receive any necessary treatment.
For more information about adoption fees, please review our Adoption FAQs & Fees page. alternatively, you can email us and communicate with our Adoption Coordinator: petsalivecats@gmail.com.
Why We Love Fostering
-
There is a special joy in seeing the transformation from fear to trust in a foster cat’s face and posture, the first time they relax and warm up to me. There is so much comedy in a litter of crazy kittens, rollicking and tumbling, learning how to be big cats. Each foster kitty has been cared for as if they were my own, and I enjoy the confidence in the feeling that they are ready for their forever home. That is the biggest difference between choosing to adopt from a small rescue rather than a shelter, and why I love volunteering. People often ask me how I can be so strong to let such sweet kitties go to adoption, but the feeling that I have space to help another is worth the emotional goodbye. Penny is the twenty-first cat I have helped, and I am not going to stop anytime soon! Fostering for Pets Alive is by far the most rewarding volunteering I have ever done.
Why We Love Fostering
-
Fostering is such a rewarding experience and works great for us as it is very flexible. We love seeing the difference in their personalities from day 1: from timid and nervous to a happy, healthy, better-socialized dog. It gives them time to decompress before going to their perfect home. Fostering enriches our lives knowing we are saving a life each time, and giving them a better life ahead. It warms the heart knowing you were part of this process.
