Foster Notes: Fitzpatrick was noticed by a kind neighbour in Lowertown. He was moving slowly, looking rough and thought to have an eye infection. We are so glad she spotted this cat and reached out for help! After arriving into foster care, Fitzpatrick started receiving treatment and is doing better each day. His swelling has reduced and wounds are healing. His coat is starting to regrow and patchy areas are filling in. After a week of eye drops, his eyes look better. Fitzpatrick continues to improve and will feel even better once he has several teeth removed. He is booked for dental extractions on September 30 at our Veterinary partner, which will be covered by the Rescue. His adopter can bring him to this appointment. Fitzpatrick is a sweet teddy bear kind of a guy who loves to be petted. He will make a wonderful companion. He does have a few sensitive spots on his body where he is healing and he communicates them well. His preferred petting areas right now are his big huge cheeks! He loves his cheek rubs. He also loves cat nip. Cat nip causes him to flop over in happiness and drool everywhere. Being a mature cat (we think he is older than 5 and likely younger than 10), he is not super high energy and would prefer snuggling to active playtime. For a cat who was surviving harsh conditions outdoors, Fitzpatrick is adjusting very well to the perks of indoor life and leaving his tomcat tendencies behind him. He is currently living with several adult cats and a small dog. Fitzpatrick would likely be fine as the only pet and would happily take all of the love and affection for himself!

ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee is $225.00 (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. 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.
