Mama has a heart as big as her 59-pound frame, and those adorable ears are impossible to resist!   She is a 2-year-old female German Shepherd mix with a sleek black short coat, a beautiful expressive face, and the funniest big ears that flop toward each other right on top of her head. At almost 60 pounds, she is a large girl with a playful spirit and so much love to give.Mama was found as a stray wandering down the middle of the road. It was clear she had recently had a litter because she was still full of milk, but sadly, no puppies could be found anywhere nearby. She was depressed and understandably in shock when she first arrived, so she went into a southern foster home where she was able to decompress and begin feeling safe.  Over time, Mama truly blossomed. She is now very playful with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. She also takes comfort in her crate, which gives her a cozy place to relax and feel secure. Mama is good with dogs and children, while her experience with cats is unknown. Her house, crate and leash training are all in progress.Mama will need some extra TLC, patience, and time to settle into her new home.  After everything this sweet girl has been through, she deserves a soft place to land and a family who will show her just how wonderful life can be. Mama spent her first chapter taking care of everyone else. Now it is her turn to be loved. And with those silly ears, she is sure to bring plenty of smiles along the way.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.  They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Mama is $500.  That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.

Hi everyone, I&rsquo;m Buffy! I was born in rescue in April. I&rsquo;ve been told that I am a special kitten because I&rsquo;m an orange girl, but I think I am extra special because I&rsquo;m a buff/beige girl kitten. As everyone is aware, orange cats supposedly only have one brain cell to share. If this is true, I possess the brain cell 95% of the time.

 I don&rsquo;t want to brag, but I am stunning. There are mirrors around so I know this is true. I have been known to play with other kittens, cats, and even a dog.

 My manners are impeccable. Please consider adopting me through Foster and Forever!

 

 Buffy was born on April 21, 2026, and is currently being fostered in Prospect. She is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

 All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. &quot;Meet and Greets&quot; can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved.

 Applications for adoption can be found at our website at www.fosterandforever.org.

 Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24-48 hours.

Potential adopters for our Persian cats need to have prior Persian cat experience as they need to be well cared for. Grooming, dental, and veterinarian exams are done once a year, and a good quality brand of cat food such as Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, or Purina Pro plan is the upper tier level with a black label.

 ADOPT AN EGYPTIAN LIVING ANTIQUITY! 

Bastet&rsquo;s Cat Sanctuary Inc., a program of Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc., rescues homeless, abandoned, and abused cats from Egypt and gives them the opportunity to find loving, permanent homes in the United States.

Many of these beautiful cats are native Egyptian breeds and local cats whose ancestors have lived in Egypt for generations. In their homeland, street cats are often treated as vermin. We believe they deserve compassion, safety, and a family of their own. 

 YOUR CAT WILL BE THOROUGHLY VETTED

Our cats receive extensive medical preparation before traveling to the United States. All cats will receive:

		Spay or neuter surgery

			Flea treatment

			Deworming treatment

			Ear mite treatment

			Giardia testing and/or treatment as appropriate

			Microchipping

			Age-appropriate vaccinations

			Rabies titer performed by the Government of Egypt Agricultural Laboratory to confirm rabies protection

			Blood chemistry testing, including:

					CBC (Complete Blood Count)

						BUN/Creatinine for kidney health

						ALT/Bilirubin for liver health

						FIV/FeLV testing

						Toxoplasmosis testing

						Mycoplasma testing

				 TWO HEALTH EXAMS BEFORE LEAVING EGYPT

Every cat receives two health examinations prior to departure from Egypt.

The first examination is performed by a private veterinarian, who evaluates the cat&#39;s health and issues the required Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI).

A second health examination is performed before the cat leaves Cairo for the United States.

Upon arrival in the United States, the cats are subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and CDC authorities before they are released to their new families.

We are looking for extraordinary adopters who understand that adopting one of our cats is a lifetime commitment.

Applicants must:

We are a rescue and get what we get in terms of cats in need of a home. In no way do we work with breeders or buy the cats from the Friday markets so we can put them up for adoption as a rescue.

Native Mau Cats of Egypt are the oldest known descendants of Egyptian domesticated cats (which have provided a partial foundation for the recent Egyptian Mau cat breed), and they are one of only a few naturally occurring, small, spotted cats in the world. Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and by an approved application.  NVEcats aims to increase education in Egypt and around the world about these magnificent and intelligent cats.

Cats and kittens are not adopted out on a &ldquo;first-come, first-serve&rdquo; basis. We choose to match our applicants and cats based on what we deem as best suited for that particular cat or kitten.
