This application is intended as a means to match the right cat or kitten with the right home. The more detail you provide, the better. INTIMUTT is a Queens, NY based rescue. Applicants must live in/or near NYC. All of our adoptable kittens/cats are vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas, microchipped, tested for FIV/ FELV (unless otherwise noted) and spayed/neutered. *Please note: kittens too young may need to be returned for sterilization and vaccination* We do charge an adoption fee of $200 to offset the cost of veterinary and foster care, to help us continue to help more kittens and cats get the care they need and find their furever home. We are a small rescue and respond to applications as quickly as we can. If you are approved, you will recieve a response directly from our team. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue from INTIMUTT. We take great pride in our mission. As always, adopt, don't shop!
