Adopt a Domestic Short Hair / Tiger (short coat)

Domestic Short Hair / Tiger (short coat) Cat

Billie the Cat needs a home


Billie




  • Tiger DSH

  • Adult/Spayed Female



When three year old Billie came to the shelter she had pretty extensive dental problems.  She wasn’t eating and was somewhat grumpy.  Who wouldn’t be, if their teeth hurt all the time?  Her teeth were cleaned, and some removed.  Her gums were repaired and she’s completed a course of antibiotics to prevent any further infection.  She spent a short time in a foster home for ‘r & r’ and now she feels like a new cat. She’s happily eating canned cat food, and the occasional dish of tuna.  As she continues to adjust to her new healthy mouth, she’ll eventually feel like eating kibble again.  Meanwhile, she is totally enjoying being petted & combed.  She loves to head-bump and nuzzle.  And her lap sitting skills are superb!  She would rather be with her person than play with toys.  



Billie is reliable in her litter box use.  We expect she would adjust to living with another cat, if carefully introduced, as there was at least one other cat in the home she came from.  We don’t know if she has experienced living with a dog. Billie is a sweet girl, and very affectionate once she gets to know you.  She likes both men and women.  She’d be perfect to keep your lap warm while you watch the Olympics!  Won’t you come in and meet her?



 

Here is the adoption process:

 

You must come to the Shelter to complete an application which is reviewed right away. If everything is okay you can meet any of the animals. All animals are $60, if they are not spay or neuter, there is a $35 refundable deposit that is returned upon proof of surgery. 

 

If Volunteers For Animals spayed or neutered the animal, we are suggesting adopters make a donation of $35 to help with the cost of the surgery which is significantly less than if you had to go to a vet. All of that donation will go directly towards spaying and neutering the next animal we take into the Shelter. You will be helping to "Spay it Forward" and reduce the homeless pet population. 

 

We only accept cash or checks. Please bring a carrier for cats to go home in or you can purchase a nice cardboard carrier for $5 from us. If you live in Genesee County, all dogs must be licensed before they leave the Shelter which is done through your city/town clerk's office (typically M-F 9-5). Please bring a leash when you pick up your new friend. Our adoption hours are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 1-3; Wednesday 7-9 and Saturday 11-1. 

 

If the cat or kitten is at Petco, you can go in anytime during Petco's store hours to complete an application and see the cat or kitten. Once a day a volunteer stops into the store to review applications and will call you with questions or let you know the adoption is approved. You can return to the store anytime to pay the adoption fee and pick up the cat or kitten. The adoption fee is $40, cash or check, and the animal must leave in a carrier. 

 

Thank you for considering a homeless animal.
