Adopt a American Shorthair (short coat)

American Shorthair (short coat) Cat

Sterling the Cat needs a home



All of our dogs and cats are in foster homes and we have no paid staff.  If you have questions concerning a specific animal,  PLEASE fill out an application and the foster parent will be in touch.  We will not arrange any home visits with any of our dogs and cats until your application is processed.  Please understand our foster parents are precious to our 2nd Chance family; without them we cannot function, so we do our best to not burden them with multiple appointments.  Our foster parents will choose their top 3 applications and arrange home visits with these applicants.  The adopter will be chosen at that time.  The process can take anywhere from a week to a month.  We want to make sure our little furry ones are placed in their "forever home" and never have to go through a rehoming again!





 


Lets talk about my start.... Obviously at some point I had a mommy but she disappeared and I was all alone and very hungry!  I found this thing called a deck and sat on it making a lot of noise.  I figured I was hungry and hey someone needed to pay attention to cute little me!  Thank goodness the people in the house found me before they left their big dogs out!  I don't think I would have had such a good story to tell if the big guys had met me first!!
The lady of the house was "allergic" now I'm not sure what that means other than I didn't get to go in the house :(  She was very nice though and made me a soft bed and got me some food and water and told me she would help me.
The next day she and her husband, who also was very nice, picked me up and put me in this thing called a car that moved very fast.  It definitely was a lot quicker than walking!!  The car stopped and the nice lady got out with me and gave me to this lady called a "Director"  she was super nice and said she would take care of me!  She took me in her house and made warm kitten formula for me!  It tasted sort of like what I used to get from my mommy YAY!!!  It filled my belly and I felt a lot better!!!  The lady took me to this person called a vet and they checked me out, told the Director I had fleas and she shook her head and said "where's the Dawn"  Hmmmmm I thought the dawn had something to do with the sun but evidently it comes in a bottle and its blue!!!  Next thing I knew I was getting a warm bath and having the blue stuff poured on me.  Guess it was OK cause those itchy things went away!
The Director and I got back in the thing called a car and off we went back to where we started from.  She took me inside and this time instead of staying by myself she took me to this room she calls the kitten room and I met Charlie and lots of other kittens!!!  Charlie and I play a lot.  The kitten room is lots of fun but the Director says I need a furever home so hopefully it turns out to be as much fun as the kitten room!!

Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to 
families with children under the age of 5.  We do not adopt dogs to renters.  Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not.



 



A pet is a lifetime commitment.  The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners.  We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs.  Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!
