Hi, I am Skystar. Let me tell you a bit about myself: I am a shy and timid girl, but if you give me a chance you will see that I am also very sweet and loving. When I am nervous, I hide, but I like being able to hide close to my people. When they sit quietly I will approach them and cuddle.
I'm a big fan of food and treats, and they can help me build trust with you. I'm most comfortable when things are quiet and I understand what's going on around me, so starting in a safe room would really help.
I've started playing with the resident kitten lately, but it's taken a while and she moves really fast! I'm still nervous around the dog. If you give me a chance, I know I could be a great companion cat.
About Me:
Skystar began life in a crowded situation where there were too many cats and too few people to care for them. She became a mom when she was still a wee girl herself. Now that her babies have found their forever homes, it's time for her to get to be a princess. She's a tiny girl. Only 3kg, but now that she's not nursing and being a mom she can gain some weight.
Food and Temptations treats are a big motivator for her. She's a lovely girl. But she is shy and needs patience and love to help her feel comfortable and safe.
*Cat Whisperer Needed: Skystar is a cat who was born and raised with limited human interaction until she was rescued. But, she has shown over her time in foster care 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 famiy, warmth, food, company, affection and love. However, it may take awhile to achieve and build upon the same level of trust as with their foster parents. She will likely hide until adjusted.
Skystar needs a special family who will take the time to show patience and build her 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.
