Foster Notes: Say hello to Ripple! Ripple was brought into foster care as a 3 month old kitten from his outdoor colony in Navan. Ripple is still quite shy and hides with noises or sudden movements. He would do very well with another cat/s as he loves his foster feline brothers. He will definitely hide initially but once he feels comfortable he loves to explore. He is much more shy than his brother Dimple Ripple is slowly warming up to touch, and snuggles, and is gradually becoming less fearful of sounds and movements. With the reduction in hiding places (blocked under couches, closed basement doors), he has started to come out of his shell and become part of the family. He joins us in the evening while watching TV and plays with his toys, laser pointer, and foster brothers. He would do best in a calm and quiet home with no young children. As he will likely hide in a new environment, we recommend that Ripple start out in a self-contained room with few hiding spots, rather than have free roam of the whole home. This way he can become comfortable with his new environment without being overwhelmed.

 

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. Ripple's core FVRCP and Rabies vaccines are up-to-date until November 2024. 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.
