3. Monica

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 16 mi from Gibson

THE JOYS OF TRYING TO GET THE “PERFECT” ADOPTION PHOTO OF MONICA…Meet Monica—adorable, affectionate, and apparently morally opposed to sitting still for pictures. All I wanted was ONE cute adoption photo.Me: “Monica, look at the camera!” Monica: No. I think I’ll climb on you instead.“Okay, sit still.”Nope.“Monica… just TWO seconds.”How about I crawl into your lap?“PLEASE let me get one good picture!”Monica: Best I can do is sit on your head. After approximately 5,000 attempts, I realized maybe these ARE the perfect adoption pictures—because they show exactly who Monica is. She’s an active little kitten who wants to be right in the middle of everything, and apparently her favorite place to be is ON HER PERSON.

    How to adopt from HSV Animal Welfare League

    Adoption Procedure The very best way to pick a pet is to come to the Adoption Center to meet available pets. If you find a pet you wish to adopt, our adoption coordinators will talk with you to help make this adoption a perfect match for you and the pet. Another benefit for visiting in person is that animals and adopters frequently have a special relationship that starts the very first time they meet. You may find the love of your life being very different than what you envisioned. The pet you will be most pleased with will be the one with the temperament that fits your personality and homelife. That frequently has absolutely nothing to do with the looks or breed of the animal. When you adopt an AWL pet, you will have an animal that has been checked by our veterinarians, spayed or neutered, given basic shots (including Rabies), a folder with the medical history and various useful information, and someone to answer any questions you might have. We will ask you to promise that, if for any reason it does not work out, that you will bring the animal back to us. We have made a financial commitment to that pet because we felt it would give someone a great deal of pleasure, therefore we made a substantial monetary and emotional commitment to the animal. The last thing we want to hear about our pet is that it has been turned over to another shelter where it could be euthanized.

Adopting a cat in Gibson

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
