Cooper is a people-loving cat who prefers to be around his humans as much as possible. It took a while to build his trust but we have developed a very rewarding bond once his trust was established. He enjoys affection, but will let you know when he’s had enough petting. He is very good at communicating his boundaries (ex. his tummy being touched) ... Keep an eye on his tail! Cooper was a stray brought to a shelter where he was not doing well caged. He wants his people around and is sensitive to closed doors. He is very anxious and vocal if left alone, meowing or yowling, so he needs someone who is home and can provide him with company and stimulation. We recommend a detached home vs apartment where his vocalizations won't disturb others (especially at night) and in turn he won't be disturbed by noises from neighbours. Cooper is looking for someone who has a lot of patience, time and willingness to help him build his trust and reduce his separation anxiety. Cooper was declawed (front paws) at some point prior to being found. He uses his litterbox well. Cooper is currently on a low dose of gabapentin three times a day and has also recently started on another medication fluoxetine, to help with his anxiety.

 

ADOPTION FEE: The Special Needs adoption fee is $165.00 (which 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. Cooper's annual core FVRCP and Rabies vaccines are up-to-date until January 2025. 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.
