*Cat Whisperer Needed*: Yes
Shultz is a sweet boy who requires a patient and quiet home. He is very scared of people and it has taken him a long time to be comfortable in his foster home. He has never been aggressive, his response is to freeze or hide. Schultz will need another socialized friendly male cat in his new home, as being around the resident cat has really encouraged him to come out of hiding and be more social. Though patience is needed with Shultz, if you are willing to go along with him on this journey, a sweet cat is waiting for you at the end. ❤️
*Cat Whisperer Needed: Schultz will take awhile to develop the same trust as he is still developing with his foster parent. He will hide for a few days until he is adjusted and trusts his new people. He needs a special family who will take the time to show patience and work towards building his confidence and trust, just like his foster family did. It may take a month or more, but he is worth it! His foster parent with Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue can offer you tips and tricks that helped in their foster home.
ADOPTION FEE: The Cat Whisperer 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 although our foster cats are not tested for FIV/FeLV - Schultz was tested prior to coming into care and he was negative for both. FIP can not 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.
