If this is you and you would like to make a difference, a real difference in the life of a wonderful cat, Harpo is looking for her forever home. Harpo is a very sweet cat, who is in need of a safe space; a quiet space, with no other animals, no children and an experienced cat owner or owners. This is a long list, but she’s worth it!!! If you have it in your heart(s) to give Harpo the time and space she needs to feel safe she would love to meet you.
About Me:
Harpo has had a difficult journey, but is now showing us her loving and affectionate side. She was originally born in foster care and adopted as a kitten. Although loved by her previous family, they were unable to manage her fear/anxiety based behaviours which only got worse as time progressed. She coped by acting out in a defensive manner. Now back in OSCatR care, with environmental modifications and medication she is doing well. She is now on two medications to help her ; one she will likely be on for life (fluoxetine) and one (gabapentin) that she may be able to wean off once settled her new forever home. She is very easy to medicate. She requires a quiet home with stability, not a lot of people coming and going nor changes. She is an anxious cat and does hide, but when she is comfortable, she is loving and SUPER affectionate. She cuddles, purrs and is very loving. Harpo will need time and patience to adjust, but once she does will be a joy for her new family.
Notes:
The adoption fee 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.
