Description:

Hello, my name is Gisele and I was adopted from Cat Guardians seven years ago. My mommy and daddy loved me and I loved them right back. You see, I am a real people cat! I loved being where they were, watching what they were doing, rubbing on their legs and getting ear scratches in return. But that's all changed now. After daddy died, mommy wasn't able to keep me by herself and so she did the right thing and brought me back here. It's been hard to come back. I miss my family and while the volunteers here are taking wonderful care of me, I spend a lot of time looking out the window and waiting for someone to visit me. I also am not comfortable around other cats, so for now I've been staying in a large cage where I don't have to interact with so many of them at once. The kind people here say that I have a problem with my thyroid that means I need to take a pill every day. That's ok with me, because it makes me feel special when I get a treat every day that the regular muggles don't get. And if there's a pill hidden in that treat, well, that's fine because it is making me feel much better. The thing is, I'd really like to get out of here and back into a home where I can thrive and be happy again. I still have so much love to give! I know there are people who wait so they can adopt special ladies like me. If you think maybe you are that person, please submit an application and then come and meet me. I can't wait to meet you!Adoption processPrior to adoption, all of our cats are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on all shots (including deworming, distemper, all yearly inoculations, and rabies if old enough), microchipped, and tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia. Cat Guardians rescues stray and abandoned cats who might otherwise not have a chance at adoption. We seek permanent, loving homes for our cat and kittens where they can live a long, happy and healthy life. For this reason we must ask you to read, understand and follow the following policies and then answer the following questions on the adoption application. When You Have Decided to Adopt After you have made the decision to add a new pet to your household, there are a few more steps to complete the process. Important: All members of the household must come in prior to adoption. Important: We do not usually do same-day adoptions. so you and your family can discuss the adoption and make sure that it is right for you, and also allow us time to complete all necessary paperwork. FIRSTYou must fill out an adoption application form. This form is reviewed by an adoption counselor who will contact you in response to your application. SECONDThe shelter requires proof that you are able to have a pet in your home. If you are a renter, we must see a copy of your lease stating that you are allowed to have pets. If you are a homeowner, we need proof that you are currently making mortgage payments. THIRDAdoption fees help to cover the cost of first vaccinations, spaying/neutering, feline leukemia-AIDS tests, and worming (which may cost up to $400 per cat!). Adoption fees are $120 for adult cats and $150 for kittens. FOURTHWhen you come to take your new friend home, you must bring a sturdy carrier. We cannot let any cat or kitten leave the shelter unless it is safely secured. The cat carrier can serve several different purposes for your new friend. It can be its personal bed, and it can be used when taking the cat to the vet or other trips outside the house. Your cat will be much safer and happier in a carrier. FINALLYOnce approved as an adoptive parent/family, you will be given an appointment to pick up your new feline friend on a day we are not open to the public. Please allow 45 minutes for the adoption process. Adoption requirements * You must be at least 21 years old with proper proof of age * You must have lived at your residence for at least one year* Current identification must show your correct address and telephone number * If you are living with your parents, one of them must sign the Adoption Contract * You must be able and willing to spend the time and money needed to feed, house, train and provide medical care for your cat * You must be willing to allow an authorized representative of Cat Guardians to make an adoption follow-up either in person or by telephone. * You must read carefully the terms of our Adoption Contract and be willing to agree to the terms.Shelter locationAddress:Cat Guardians, Inc. 932 E.
