About this Cat
Loretta's Story... A Last Hope Animal Rescue volunteer was surprised to see a large carrier sitting out in the back parking lot when she arrived at our Adoption Center one morning in late October 2023. It was during some of the unusual hot weather we’d been having when she arrived to volunteer and wondered why someone who have left it there. If it was one being returned, why wouldn't they have brought it during the day when someone could have taken it inside so it wasn't stolen? As she approached, she noticed it didn't have our name or info on the carrier - and then she had the shock of her life! To her horror, she saw a Mama cat and a whole lot of kittens all smooshed together in a carrier not nearly big enough to hold them all! WHOA! She hurried up and got them inside and thankfully it wasn't long before other volunteers were arriving to care for the animals, and they all immediately started getting mama out and assessing the health of all the kittens... EIGHT of them... yes... 8 kittens!! They guesstimated the kittens were about 4-5 weeks on intake and it appeared they were quite hungry so our team of volunteers got to work and were able to get everyone settled in so mama could nurse her babies. Thankfully most of them have been adopted and as of April 2024, Loretta’s age is about 2 years old now - her birthdate on intake was guesstimated to be mid-late April 2022. Loretta came in somewhat depleted, which wasn’t unusual since she had such a large litter of kittens to feed and who knows how often~or even how well ~ she was fed. Once separated from her kittens after they were weaned, she started eating a lot - almost like she was afraid she wouldn’t know when her next meal would be... she did put on quite bit of weight, and as of April 2024, she is a good sized girl at about 13#. Thankfully she has come to realize food will always be given to her, so she isn’t behaving like she’s starving! Her fur coat is absolutely beautiful with darker tabby markings and tortoiseshell orange/tan coloring filtered throughout... which is affectionately called a 'Torbie' fur coat. She is very playful once she gets comfortable with you, and she purrs easily. She will do better in a home with no kittens, but she has gotten along with adult cats in her foster home. She likes to run through a cat tunnel and chase balls and mice, chase after the ‘little red dot’, lay in a tall cat tree in front of a big window - way up at the very top - so she can see the outside world, and she also loves to bat the balls in a little 3-level round-about tower toy! Since the weather has gotten warmer, we have taken her outside on a harness and leash and she LOVES sitting on her foster mom’s deck to soak up the sunshine, too! She loves affection and enjoys laying in her foster’s arms and cuddles like a baby, and will love to sit on your lap - and she absolutely LOVES to be brushed :) Older kids would probably be best for her, and when she was out in the Petsmart Adoption Center, she absolutely hated dogs when they approached her window - so a home without a dog would be best for her. Loretta's adoption fee is $85.00, She is completely vetted... she has been spayed, has had her FVRCP vaccination and her rabies vaccination, she tested NEG/NEG for both Feline Leukemia and FIV, has been given a dewormer treatment and Revolution parasite treatment. She is also microchipped. Her microchip has a free lifetime registration and LHAR will register her to her new owners upon adoption. Your responsibility will be to always keep all of your information updated with the microchip company so you have a better chance of getting her returned to you should she ever get outside, etc. If you are interested in adopting any of the feline or canines available for adoption through Last Hope Animal Rescue, you can submit your application through our website at www.adopthope.org. You should receive a notice in your email letting you know your application has been sent; if you do not receive that email, please re-apply. Applicants must be at least 21 years old; all pets in the home must be up-to-date on all required vaccinations, have a history of yearly exams with their veterinarian, and must be kept as indoor pets only.

Adopt Loretta and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Loretta's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Loretta's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Loretta, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Loretta's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Loretta was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Loretta’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Loretta’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Loretta’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
