Notes from Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue

We take the cats that are adopted down...so if a cat is on the website they are available.

Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the cat here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com

Meet August: Professional Corner Decorator & Wall-Flower Extraordinaire If you come into the room, you might notice me using my master-level hide-and-seek skills: crouching into the nearest corner and pretending I am a statue. It’s not that I’m trying to be rude—I’m just a sensitive soul working through some big-world jitters! My brothers and I didn't get the easiest start in life. We were found abandoned outside a hotel, skinny, covered in fleas, and thoroughly convinced that humans were bad news. While I’ve come a long way since those rough street days, taking in the scene from a safe corner is still my comfort zone. As you can see from my glamorous photoshoot (where I bravely held onto a human shoulder and snuggled up with a Giant Rainbow Unicorn), I am actually a gentle, handsome grey-and-white gentleman who wants to be loved—I'm just waiting for the right person to show me it's safe. My Fast Facts: Age: Est approx bithday 6/9/2026 Coloring: Dapper Grey Tuxedo with a signature white nose stripe and tiny white socks. Specialty Skills: Ninja-level corner crouching, adorable wide-eyed staring, and clinging to giant plush unicorns for emotional support. Current Status: Available through Heidi’s Legacy Dog Rescue (because even a cat of my caliber can appreciate a great rescue). Ideal Home: Quiet, patient, and low-key. I need a home with humans who understand that slow progress is the best progress, and who will celebrate every little step I take out of my shell. If you have a quiet corner, a warm heart, and plenty of patience, I might just end up being the most rewarding companion you’ve ever earned the trust of. Apply to adopt August today!

What happens next

  1. Contact Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the cats care guide so you arrive prepared.
