Meet Mattingly
Mattingly is lovable and affectionate; still, loud noises and quick movements will make him nervous, but he bounces back within seconds and is once again purring and playing. Happy to plop by your side and roll over for belly rubs; Mattingly enjoys being around humans and will seek you out for pets, and be prepared for lots of drooly purrs! He can be picked up but gets wiggly in your arms. Feathery wands, ball tracks, and catnip mice are his thing...and he will carry around a jingly mouse in his mouth while quietly chirping to himself. Mattingly has a unique quality - his lil overbite, and he can't help but always stick out his tongue! Recently, Mattingly has found his meow, and if old-school wrestler Ric Flair was a kitten, it'd sound like Mattingly. So, if you are cooking dinner, expect to hear a little "Meow-oooo" at your feet.
Mattingly is learning boundaries from the resident cats in his foster home, and he should go to a family with another confident cat. He has not been around dogs or other animals, so we are unsure how he would be with them. Children 10 and older would be best for Mattingly.
Thank you for being so interested in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If you see this post, we still accept applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). Please refrain from emailing us regarding availability.
All adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, rabies, and distemper vaccinations, proof of FIV/feline leukemia testing, flea treatment, deworming, and an exam by a licensed veterinarian.
Our shelter hours are by appointment only and are not open to the public. Many of our cats and kittens are located in foster homes. An adoption application MUST be submitted and approved before meeting our cats/kittens. We do this for the safety of our fosters and potential adopters.
Our adoption process includes the following:
1. Adoption Application
To be considered for this cat(s) or kitten(s), you MUST complete an adoption application:
- Through our website (preferred) at www.scruffypawsanimalrescue.org/
- Email a copy to scruffypawsanimalrescue@gmail.com
- Drop off a hard copy to either of our partner PetSmart locations (Johnston or North Smithfield)
- Mail a hard copy to Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue at 2944 Post Rd. Warwick, RI 02886
2. Veterinary Reference
Please call your vet beforehand to give permission to release records to our adoption team. Out-of-state adoptions typically require an exceptional veterinary reference and are at the discretion of our adoption team.
3. Proof of Home Ownership OR Landlord Approval
If renting, the landlord's contact information must be provided so our adoption team can seek approval.
4. Home Visit
Please make sure you are located in our vicinity. We are based out of Warwick, RI. Due to COVID-19, we are currently doing virtual home visits until further notice.
**Please note: Our volunteers try their hardest to contact every applicant in a timely manner but are often overwhelmed with a high volume of applications. Please allow up to two weeks for a response. We ask you to please be considerate and refrain from sending multiple follow-up emails or submitting duplicate applications.
