FOSTER Notes: Mildura was found and taken into care earlier this year on a property in Almonte along with her three kittens. All her kittens are now adopted and mama is looking for a home of her own! When Mildura first came into care she was incredibly shy and spent most of her time hiding. She has come such a long way! Mildura loves hanging out in the living room or home office with her foster family, and seeks out pets and belly rubs often. She can purr for hours! She is very serious about play time and is partial to wand toys. She is very small and with her kitten-like energy she could be easily confused for being a kitten herself. Mildura is also still nervous around sudden movements and prefers to stay close to easy access to her “hiding place”. She is extremely attached to the resident cat and would do best in a home with another friendly cat to show her the ropes of indoor living – this has really given her confidence. She would thrive in a home which gives her space to come out of her shell on her own time. And while she is still shy, she is making progress towards becoming a lap cat every day. We have immensely enjoyed having her in our home watching her take brave new steps every day. She is an absolute sweetheart with so much love to bring!

 

Cat Whispering Needed: Mildura is a cat who was born and raised outside and likely had limited human interaction before she came into care. She has shown over time that she can establish a connection with humans and be happy indoors. She is now doing very well inside life, with all the perks that come with a family—warmth, food, company, affection and love. However, it may take awhile to acheive and build upon the same level of trust as with her foster parents. She will likely hide until adjusted. She 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 few weeks, 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.

 

ADOPTION FEE: The Cat Whispering Needed 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. 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.
