Gracie’s forever home needs to adapt to her needs and let Gracie be who she is.

Gracie was dumped behind a pet store at an employee entrance so we don’t know much about Gracie’s past. But what we do know is that Gracie has a big attitude. Gracie likes to be in the presence of humans but she does not like to be picked up, she does not like to be touched, except for maybe a few pets on the head only, the rest of her body is off limits. Gracie will need to be the only cat in her adoptive home.

I have Gracie on a hairball formula food because she does have long hair and she will not tolerate brushing, I learned the hard way and she is not afraid to use her claws. She does not like other animals. Gracie could be a great mouser. I have concluded that Gracie was scared of feet, it took her awhile to overcome this. She is also terrified of the carrier. In order to get her in a carrier, she needs to be drugged otherwise the claws come out. If I am reading a book she may climb on my lap and lay down but that is not an invitation to pet her. Currently Gracie and her foster get along well and no incidents because the foster accepts Gracie the way she is and doesn’t cross her boundaries

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process. 

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. 

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks or cash.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance
