Cat Whisperer Needed

Dancer is looking for a very special adopter to give her a forever home. Dancer was returned to the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue after two years with her previous adopters, through no fault of her own , and is now looking for an experienced cat owner who will accept her as she is and provide a warm, loving home. Dancer would do best in a home with other friendly, respectful cats who will give her her space. After her initial settling in period (during which she will hide) she likes to be where the action is, coming out for mealtimes and hanging out in the open with everyone else. Dancer has a hard time allowing humans to pet her, and she is very anxious about being cornered (especially for vet visits, where she will need to be given a mild sedative beforehand). However, we have had some success, especially during mealtimes, where she likes to headbonk the other cats to show how excited she is about food. When she is in this mood, we are sometimes able to pet her and have even been able to brush her. Dancer is a shorthaired cat, but she has an extremely dense coat which must be brushed regularly, or else will become matted. Once you start petting her, Dancer enjoys being pet and will even purr and make biscuits. She loves treats and will lick tube treats off your fingers.

About Me:

It is important that Dancer's adopters are willing to work on a continuing basis to gain Dancer's trust. It is clear that Dancer is a gentle, sweet housecat, but needs some extra compassion and care. Are you that special someone?

Notes:

The adoption fee includes a health check, first vaccination in a series and any that become due while in care, first anti-parasite treatments needed in care, spay or neuter and microchip at our Veterinary partner. There is a 10% discount when you adopt 2 cats/kittens. The adopter will be responsible for any vaccine or boosters, anti-parasite treatments that are needed after adoption. Kittens usually need 3 vaccines, one month apart starting at age 7 weeks. Juveniles and Adult cats usually require 2 vaccines one month apart in the first year, then annual vaccines. Deworming is recommended at the time of each vaccine appointment. If you are intending to adopt, please be aware that your Veterinary clinic may be experiencing backlogs in scheduling appointments, so do not delay calling your clinic to book your new cat's needed booster appointment(s). Please note that cats are not tested for FIV/FeLV nor can FIP be predicted. We will share any medical information gathered during our health checks and observations revealed during their time in care. But it is important to know that some illnesses can have an incubation period of 10 days, which means that a cat can leave in good health but get sick a few days post adoption. In addition, the stress of a new environment can affect a cats’ immune system.

APPLICATION NOTE: The application for this cat/kitten may close quickly depending on the number of applications received. As our goal is to find the best match based on the cat(s) needs, only those chosen for a meet-and-greet will be contacted via email.
