Cat Whisperer Needed
Salmon is a big softy. He's super shy and easily scared, but when ready will invite you to give belly rubs in his glorious thick soft fur. He likes to be brushed and plays with us with soft toys. He needs gentle attention from his people. Although he does not like being picked up, he is super gentle. He's an energetic leaper despite his apparent chonky-ness. Salmon will make a lovely companion. Health Notes: Salmon needed surgery on his eyelid, which was curling inward and irritating his eye. His entropion surgery done in early March at our Veterinary partner, Fisher Glen Animal Hospital, was successful and he has healed well.
About Me:
Cat Whisperer Needed: Salmon is a cat who was born and raised outside and likely had limited human interaction until he came into foster care. But, he has shown over time that he can establish a connection with humans and be happy indoors. He is now doing very well in his 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 his foster parents. He will likely hide until adjusted. He needs a special family who will take the time to show patience and build his confidence, just like his foster family did. It may take a month or more, but he is worth it! His foster parents with Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue can offer you tips and tricks that helped in their foster home. Salmon is a work in progress, but the reward of saving a cat from the harshness & dangers of outdoor life is so worth the effort and time.
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.
