About this Cat
Joyful Rescues is considering Tom to be a sanctuary kitty with us. It's not that he is feral as are the other 6 sanctuary kitties here that live in the basement, garage, outside, with cat doors open 24/7. Tom is a friendly kitty, but he seems really elderly and it also seems that he has lived a rather rough life and likely mostly, if not all, outside. He was not neutered until he arrived....maybe his playboy days were over so he decided to find a nice retirement home as he invited himself to live here. Whether one of the other cats showed him all the doors or he found them himself is a mystery, but he's not the first kitty to simply appear in our basement. He was afraid of us humans at first, but warmed up quickly once he realized he was safe. Tom is very happy here and hangs around the humans when outside. We have noticed that his eyes seem "weepy" and his breathing is audible. Other than this he seems healthy for his age and has a good appetite and gets around just fine. Just an absolute guess maybe he was born in 2009. Would we welcome an adoption for Tom? Yes, as long as we felt he would be happier there than he is here. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime. The ADOPTION FEE: There is no fee for Tom. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A CAT FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption. Can't Adopt Me? SPONSOR ME Look for the Link "Special Instructions to Seller" if you want to note a particular pet

Adopt Tom and Receive Tom's Fund
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, Tom's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Tom's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Tom, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Tom's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 Tom was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Tom’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Tom’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, Tom’s balance will remain in our general 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!
