Domestic Short Hair-gray - Medium - Adult - Male - Cat - ROCKY
Description
This is a courtesy posting for Philadelphia's Animal Care and Control Team [ACCT]. This animal is available for FOSTER CARE ONLY, however you may foster to adopt as well. Interested foster parents may meet these animals by appointment only at the ACCT shelter located at 111 W. Hunting Park Ave 19140 (Feltonville). If you want to set up a meeting, please contact nsmith@pspca.org or sspendelow@pspca.org. You can also call Sara at 267-385-3800 ext.116. Rocky is a big handsome gray 3-5 year old male that came to the shelter because his owners were moving. He has the brightest green eyes and a soft coat. He is a big cuddly boy that purrs when you hold him and would like a forever home where he will have a lap to lay on and be lavished with attention. Are you interested in one of the cats at ACCT? If so Please call or email the Life Saving Department to set up a time to come down to the ACCT facility (111 W Hunting Park Ave). Life Saving staff is available every day (the sooner the better!) 9am- 6pm to fill out an application and meet the many wonderful cats in need of foster care and adoption. Please also bring proof that you are allowed cats at your home if you rent. To determine whether you should apply to foster versus adopt, please consider the following information: -To adopt a cat means to commit to being the primary caregiver for the cat and keep it in your possession, for yourself for the rest of its life. Cats and kittens are $75- that donation covers the vaccines, microchip, surgery, etc that the cat has received. - To foster a cat means to commit to temporarily caring for the cat while also working to find the cat a forever home/adopter. While fostering the cat remains ACCTs property, but the foster parent takes responsibility for marketing the cat, and doing a preliminary screening of any potential adopters. When an adopter is found, the foster parent must coordinate with the ACCT Life Saving office to approve the adopter and finalize the adoption. If the foster parent decides after time that they would like to keep the cat, they must complete the adoption process and pay the adoption fee. ** Fostering is not a trial adoption.** More about fostering: Although previous fostering experience is not required, ideal foster care provider will have basic knowledge of animal care and training and be committed to finding their foster animal a safe and loving forever home. As a foster care provider, you will provide the animals with care including, food, water, shelter, training, grooming and medical treatment when necessary. The PSPCA will provide clinic and vet care, behavior and training resources, and adoption counseling. We rely on the foster parent to find an adoptive home for the cat, but we can help! We provide adoption events for you attend, can post your foster cat on Petfinder for you, etc. We cannot guarantee how long a foster cat will be in your care, since you keep the cat until an adoptive home is found, which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months depending on the cat, and how heavily you market it. ACCT is located at: 111 W. Hunting Park Ave, Phila., PA 19140 Email: nsmith@pspca.org or sspendelow@pspca.org . You can also call Sara at 267-385-3800 ext.116. When you adopt a cat from ACCT you truly save a life! (Bio Posted on 11/1/09 by CW)
