the Rescue Black Project
Meet the Adoptables of Rescue Black
Our adoptable cats and kittens have been spayed/neutered, are fully vaccinated and have tested negative for FIV. Many of the littles at the Rescue Black Project have spent their entire lives together as a result of being biologically related and rescued or surrendered together. We endeavor to keep families together as much as possible and ask that you consider adopting in pairs. An adoption donation of $75 for one, $100 for two helps offset the cost of spay/neuter and vaccinations, helps us maintain the sanctuary and provide ongoing kitten enrichment.
Yogi and Boba
Littermates Yogi and Boba were born in June 2020 and surrendered to Rescue Black in January 2024 because their former mom started working and going to school fulltime and no longer had as much time to spend with them as they all would like. Yogi and Boba are is available for adoption as a bonded pair, with a request for an open adoption with his previous owner.
Yogi was named after Hanna-Barbera’s Yogi the Bear.
Boba was named after Boba tea, (a drink with tapioca or fruit flavored pearls) because his former mom thought his eyes looked like boba
