Hi, my name is Malachy and I'm feeling pretty great now. Foster mom says it's because I'm on a weight control diet. I can't say I agree because I'm always starving and she doesn't get the hint when I suggest it's snack time or dinner time. I think another reason I'm feeling pretty good is I'm the only cat in my foster home. I have all the time in the world to rest, I get all the attention from foster mom and dad, I can greet all the visitors to the house, I have lots of fun toys to play with and my own litter boxes. The only thing that could be better is finding my furever home.

 

Foster Notes: Malachy is a CHAMPION calm, relaxed cat who enjoys being around people. He is big, though not big on being picked up. He will follow his foster parents around and relax next to their feet in the kitchen on a mat, or on a mat at the computer. He will usually come when he hears his name called. He is terrific when visitors come to the house. He will wait at the top of the stairs to be called down for an introduction. Malachy enjoys interactive playtime with his foster mom. His energetic side is revealed when the furry wand entices him to reach and grab. Small colorful balls that roll and jingle or rattle get him moving fast in chase. At night, Malachy can be found near a slightly open window listening to the sounds of the trees and watching for movement of birds and squirrels. When the windows are closed, he will make a comfortable spot on the bed with his foster mom & dad until morning. Malachy came to his current foster home as a cat who was intimidated living in a multi-cat foster home. He is doing much better now that he is a solo cat, and we recommend this be the same situation in his future home. He is on a calorie restricted diet and eats wet food and dry food from puzzle bowls to slow his eating. Malachy does not travel well in a carrier. So, we suggest no long trips nor lots of travelling for this guy. He's a home-body. Malachy had some dental extractions to remove some broken teeth.

ADOPTION FEE: he 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.
