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 ET
*Available for pre-adoption*
This little guy was named ET because of his alien-like appearance when we rescued him and his sister, Elliot. He was extremely underweight, dehydrated, sick, and he was half the size of his sister. He gave us quite the scare when he suddenly declined and had to spend nearly a week in and out of the emergency vet. However, little ET is a fighter and we are so happy that he has pulled through and is now ready to find his forever home!
ET is still on the smaller side, but this boy has a HUGE personality. He absolutely adores spending time with his humans. If you are sitting on the couch or going to bed, he demands to be at your side - or more specifically, curled up on your chest or tucked under your chin.
Now that he is feeling better, he is happy to use all his energy by running around the house, exploring, and playing with his kitten friends. He seems to think he is an excellent hunter and you'll often look over and catch him slowly creeping up to pounce on you. ET is a little spoiled (rightfully so) and loves to get pets and belly scratches. He will even roll over like a little puppy to give you access to his whole tummy.
We found that the source of ET's heath struggles was IBS, so he is required to be on a prescription GI food, but other than that, he is a healthy and happy kitten!
ET is very bonded with his sister Elliot. He gets along with other kitties, but he gets sad and lonely if he is separated from her for long periods of time. We are looking for a home that can adopt them together!
ET still needs to grow a little bigger before he 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, ET will be officially adopted and arranged to go home as soon as he is ready!
