Her Story: Mathilde was found this past winter as a starving lone stray who was first noticed searching for food in a garbage dumpster. A kind person caught her and took her into their care until a placement could be found with OSCatR. Mathilde hid at first in her new foster home until she felt comfortable and now likes to hang out with her foster parent. Foster Notes: Mathilde is opening up more and more by the day. She now follows me all over the apartment, watches tv on the sofa with me in the evening and purrs and kneeds me each night before bed and all through the night. Mathilde would do best in a quiet home. She will hide when guests are in the home and she doesn’t recognize voices. We have discovered that she will chew on and swallow plastic bags ( fortunately vomited the pieces up) . So no exposed plastic should be accessible (ie. garbage bag lining garbage cans),

 

Special Diet: Sometimes cats that have gastrointestinal issues will chew on or eat inappropriate things. We believe this to be the case with Mathilde and her penchant for eating plastic bags. She is now on a Veterinary prescribed diet : Hill's Gastrointestinal I/D. We do recommend that she continue on a diet formulated for gastrointestinal issues as she is doing well on this, the reduced adoption fee reflects our recognition that a vet prescribed diet or specialized diet is more expensive .

 

ADOPTION FEE: The 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.
