Worcester, MA

Description:

Sylvia was surrendered when her owner went into a nursing home and the family couldn't keep her. She's a senior cat and, common in older cats, Sylvia has mild chronic kidney disease (CKD). She also takes anti anxiety medication daily, mixed in with her food. You wouldn't know she's a senior cat though from the energy with which she plays with toys. She will seek you out for play time, pets, and to get brushed. She'll tell you when you stopped brushing her too soon.We're looking for an experienced adopter. She will need time and patience for her to get comfortable with you before you can see her sweet and playful side. https://forms.gle/ZfhWg4o7sdGHTcf56Adoption processThe Adoption Process- Fill out an application for your potential new family member- One of our volunteers will review the submitted application and do their best to respond within 48 hours- We will check personal and veterinary records (if applicable)- After checking references, we will then look to schedule a home visit (for dogs only)- If the animal is a good match, then a meet and greet will be setup – usually at the foster home or the Cambridge or Millbury PetSmart adoption centers- We like to have all family members attend- Finally, the last step if to complete the adoption paperwork and to bring your new family member home Here are a few items for people to consider before deciding to adopt: - Renters must have their landlord’s permission- Adopters must be 21 years of age or older- All adoptive homes must be stable, supportive, and capable to meet all veterinary and financial needs of the animal- Some adoptions will require adopters to enroll the dog in training classes as a condition of adoption, however we encourage training for ALL adopted dogs.- Kittens younger than 6 months must be adopted with another kitten/cat or go to a home with a resident cat for socialization- There may be additional adoption requirements for puppies (puppy socialization classes, someone home during the day, etc) Adoption FeesAdoption fees help defray the cost of our medical expenses for all our animals.
