FAQ - READ ME FIRST
If you’re ready to adopt a Miss Dixie’s kitten, here’s your chance to see if you could be their match.
Please thoroughly read the following information about adopting a Miss Dixie’s kitten before applying.
- Our adoption screening and processing can be broken down into three main steps: the application, the interview, and the meet & greet.
- The application portion is fairly straightforward. Please be as open, honest and thorough as possible. Our main objective for the application is to get a good general sense of your home, what your current resident animals are like, and additional pertinent information (like current veterinarian).
- After you have submitted an application, a member of our team should reach out within 24 hours regarding your application status.
- Next is the interview portion. If your home is deemed a potential match for our kitties, you will be sent a link to schedule your interview/virtual home check! All interviews are conducted with Zoom or FaceTime and are a required step to complete an adoption application.
- Finally, when your application is approved, we will reach out to schedule your meet & greet/adoption day!
- *Our adoption process is not a same-day ordeal. Most applications take a minimum of a week to move from application submission to finalizing adoption details. We take our time to ensure every kitty is placed in the home best suited for them.
- *Kitties are not placed in homes on a first-come-first-serve basis. Priority is given to earliest applications as long as the home is a good match for the kitten or cat. We choose the best home, not the first home!
- *We reserve the right to deny any applicant for any reason.
- *All applicants must live within an 8hr drive of Seneca, SC to be considered for adoption (except in regards to specific cases where drive radius has been extended).
All Miss Dixie’s kittens come with health records, are dewormed, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped.
Please note that due to the high volume of inquiries about each kitten, you may not receive a response. We encourage you to also check out the adoptable cats and kittens at your local animal shelter.
Meet Elliot
*Available for pre-adoption*
Elliot was rescued with her little brother ET. She was sick, dehydrated, and malnourished, but quickly bounced back with some extra love and care. Elliot has what his called a fever coat from her mom being sick/having a high temperature when she was in vitro. The fever coat gives a fluffy gray appearance to her fur, but will grow out as she gets older. You can see underneath the fever coat that she is a tortoiseshell cat! And, we'll be honest, even if you couldn't see what her coat looks like, you might be able to tell by her big personality - often called Tortie-tude.
Elliot is a bit of a sassy diva, but makes up for it with her super sweet and loving disposition. She insists on being wherever you are, like on the couch, in your lap while you're eating, in the bathroom with you, or cuddled up in bed to go to sleep. She is very vocal and is always ready to let you know what's on her mind by meowing at you.
When she isn't sleeping or cuddling with you, Elliot likes to be playing and exploring her kingdom (the house). She is very energetic and loves to chase cat toys, climb, pounce, jump and play with her brother ET. She has two large dogs at her foster home and right now, she thinks they are way too big to be in the house and will often hiss at them if they get in her space. However, we think she will continue to warm up to dogs and might even like a slightly smaller dog friend more.
Elliot likes to pick on her brother ET, but in a big sister type of way. She is very protective of him and gets really lonely if he is not with her. We would love a home that could adopt them together!
Elliot still needs to grow a little bigger before she can be neutered, but in the meantime, we are accepting applications for him to be pre-adopted. This means you will go through our normal application process and IF approved, Elliot will be officially adopted and arranged to go home with you as soon as she is ready!
