As an animal rescue organization, we strive to feed the hungry, care for the suffering, provide shelter for the homeless, help those who can’t help themselves, and educate those around us to do the same. FLUFF is a foster-based animal rescue organization located in the Nashville, TN, and surrounding areas. We primarily rescue orphaned kittens that are too young and need too much care to be in shelters or on the streets as well as kittens and cats in need of medical attention that shelters or other rescues are unable to provide. We are not entirely a breed-specific rescue but we do focus much of our efforts on helping the very large in need Persian/Himalayan/Exotic Shorthair population. Our philosophy is if we can help we will.
Here are some things you may find helpful: 1. We are a foster-based rescue, and most of our adoptable animals are in foster homes mostly in the Nashville and Franklin, TN areas. We do not have a shelter location to go meet kitties. We list our available kitties on our website, our Facebook page, and other sites such as Petfinder.com, and Adopt-a-Pet.org. 2. Once the application process is complete, we can arrange for folks to meet the kitties. So, if you think you might be at all interested, just go ahead and submit an application. Waiting to get questions answered before submitting an application will mean that the kitty will be gone by the time you do. Emailing to ask if a kitty is still available… well, they probably were when you emailed, but not by the time we were able to reply to the inquiry. 3. We do keep applications on file, so you do not need to submit multiple applications. If you have already submitted one, just email and say you would like your previous application processed for XYZ Kitty. 4. We do consider out of area adoptions. However, the adopter is responsible for transport. We do have to approve the form (i.e., if flying, must be in cabin, not cargo). 5. The adoption fee varies depending on the kitty but some examples are: kittens are often $150, purebred kitties range generally from $200-$300. We sometimes offer discounts for adopting multiple kitties together. The adoption fee includes their FIV/FeLV test, age-appropriate vaccinations, de-worming, microchip, and spay/neuter surgery. It also very often includes a great deal of medical care from dentals, to surgeries, hospitalizations, etc. 6. Surprisingly, the question, “is this kitty still available?” is not as easily answered as you might think. At any given moment things could be somewhere in the process and though a kitty is technically available until the fee is paid and the contract is signed, there may be applications being reviewed, calls being made, interviews in process, meet-n-greets setup, etc. So, if you are interested, it is best to just go ahead and apply.
