Cat Whisperer Needed - See Notes Below
Hi, I am Posh Spice. I’m a beautiful girl with a voice. When I am playing you’ll definitely know it because I am very chatty. I’m not wild about being touched, but someone who is patient could do it with time. Once I trust, I’m always around. I like to play with laser pointers, toys that rattle, and balls to chase. I get along well with most cats, but need to be introduced properly so I do not get stressed.
About Me:
Posh Spice needs an adopter who is a "Cat whisperer". She’s really tough to touch and needs someone who won’t get put off by her running away. She’s not mean to humans at all though - just scared. "Cat Whisperer Needed": Posh Spice is a work in progress, but the reward of saving a cat from the harshness & dangers of outdoor life is so worth the effort and time. Posh Spice is a cat who was born and raised outside and had limited human interaction until she was an older kitten. She has shown over time that she can establish a connection with humans and be happy indoors. She is now doing very well in her indoor life, with all the perks that come with it; a famiy, 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 their foster family did. It may take awhile, 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.
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.
