Cat Whisperer Needed
Dapple was born outside to a mother cat who was being fed and cared for by a homeowner. Dapple was learning to trust her caretaker, who was trying to befriend both her and her mother. Unfortunately her mother disappeared when Dabble was 4 or 5 months old, so her caretaker brought her inside to ensure her safety. Dapple has been in foster care for over a year and is now ready for her forever home. She was shy in the beginning and has really begun to come out of her shell. Foster Notes: Dapple will initially hide in a new home. Once she feels safe, she will start to come out and explore but is initially hesitant. She loves pets sometimes starting off with a cat wand, and then will flop and roll around and be super cute. She makes squeaky murp sounds at other cats and when happy. Sometimes she gives kisses to the other cats she is currently fostered with. She likes bug cushy cat beds and hoarding cat toys in a pile. Dapple needs someone with the patience to give her time to come out of her shell, but once she does she is just full of weird floppy love.💖
About Me:
Dapple is a cat who was born and spent her first months outside with limited human interaction. But, she has shown over time that she can establish a connection with humans and be happy indoors. She is now doing very well in her indoor life, with all the perks that come with it; a family, warmth, food, company, affection and love. However, it may take awhile to achieve and build upon the same level of trust as with her foster parents. She will likely hide until adjusted. She needs a special family who will take the time to show patience and build her trust and confidence, just like her foster family did. It may take a month or more, but she is worth it! Her foster parents with Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue can offer you tips and tricks that helped in their foster home.
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.
