Legolas

Legolas looks like a big Safari cat that was shrunk down into a tiny kitten body! This boy may like a wild man, but that doesn't reflect his personality at all! He's a thoughtful little kitten who prefers to let his braver siblings get into trouble while he waits to make sure there's no danger around. Then once he's thought long and hard about the situation he'll usually venture out to play with his siblings. The second you reach out to pet him, play time ends immediately and he just begins to melt. He starts purring and rolls around trying to get petted all over his body! Legolas is very good at acclimating to a variety of play styles and environements so we think he'd do well in a variety of homes. That said, he and his sister Arwen do love to play and snuggle, so we hope they'll get adopted together. We don't DNA test our kittens, but we think he looks like he could be a Bengal mix! Most cats in the US are made up of a variety of different breeds, and we think Legolas falls into that category as well. Either way, we know he's 100% cute! Applebottom is too young to be eligible for a full adoption. However, he is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program! Foster-to-Adopt Program Details We are an all-volunteer, foster-based, non-profit organization We don't have a physical location; all cats and kittens live in foster homes until they are formally adopted. Our foster-to-adopt program allows us to match cats and kittens with their forever family before they're eligible for adoption. Eligible cats and kittens are placed in a foster's home with the intention of adoption after required medical care is completed. Foster-to-Adopt foster parents are required to schedule and bring their cats(s) and/or kitten(s) to veterinary appointments at the Animal Medical Center of Richardson as needed. Foster-to-adopters must meet all of the eligibility requirements RHS has for adopters. Cats and kittens eligible for our foster-to-adopt program must pay a $50 non-refundable deposit at time of drop-off that will be deducted from the animal's adoption fee of $125. RHS Adoption Process and Requirements Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old.

If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor and you must undergo a home visit by an RHS representative. Phone Interview. Compatible applicants will be forwarded to a counselor who will contact the applicant for a phone interview. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will coordinate a virtual home visit. We'll request you send videos/pictures of your home to verify it is safe and welcoming for the cat. Meet and Greet. Once your home visit is complete, we can coordinate a time with you and the foster parent/s to meet the kitty you're interested in. Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at your home or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee.
