"Moya" is a very sweet and loving kitty who happens to be FIV positive. Just out of "Greece animal control" after spending two weeks in a cage she is remarkably relaxed and gentle.
Although there is no specific treatment for FIV, infected cats like "Moya", can live long and healthy lives. It is important to keep her up-to-date on vaccinations, feed her a high-quality diet, and seek veterinary treatment at the first sign of illness.
"Moya" can live in a household as the only cat. Or, since the disease is only spread by bite wounds, Moya can live with a FIV-negative cat(s) as long as they get along well together. Careful monitoring of the cats' behavior and minimizing the likelihood of fights would be important. Lastly, Moya could go to a home with another FIV positive cat(s).
"Moya has been combo-tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV,and of course, as indicated, was found to be FIV positive. received a rabies vaccination along with all other age-appropriate vaccinations and has been Altered.
Meet Chance! He is a young 1-2 yr old male German Shepherd/Husky mix. He is a medium sized dog weighing around 45 pounds.
Chance is a happy boy. He gets along with everyone but is protective outside of his foster home. He needs training on inside and outside manners.
He will need to go to an active house. If he is bored he likes to get into mischief.
Chance needs to meet resident dogs prior to placement. It is not known how he will react to cats. Check back soon after we get to know him better.
His adoption fee is $200.00.

Foster homes still desperately needed!
GRASP continues to reach out to all local residents for help right as we are in need of additional foster space. Would you please consider fostering a healthy, friendly cat or kitten for us? If you can't, do you know of anyone who might consider helping us out?
Before being placed into foster care, all cats and kittens are fully vet checked, tested for feline leukemia and FIV, checked and treated for all parasites and fleas and fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered. GRASP will gladly provide food, litter, litter boxes, dishes and toys. All we need from you is a little extra space in your heart and home.
If you've ever thought about helping out, please make now the time you decide to step-up!
GRASP does not have a pet shelter. All rescued animals stay temporarily in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted into a permanent home. Call 234-1953 or contact one of the Foster Coordinators to become a foster family!

Who We Are
G.R.A.S.P. (Greece Residents Assisting Stray Pets) was incorporated on February 1996 as a non-profit animal rescue organization. Greece is a suburb of Rochester, N.Y. and the purpose of the group is to find fur ever homes for all adoptable animals that come through the town's Animal Control.
G.R.A.S.P. is staffed completely by volunteers and is funded entirely by donations from the public. Our animals are kept in foster homes or boarded until a foster home is found.
Please be aware that we are not able to adopt to anyone living more than two hours away from Rochester. Some of these fur children came from bad situations and to be sure that they are in the right environment, home visits are necessary.
Adopting a Friend
If you are interested in adopting one of our available pets, you must first fill out an
adoption application form (available on our website or at adoption events). If your application is approved, then (for dogs) a home visit is scheduled. If all goes well, a formal, legal adoption agreement is filled out and signed at the time of adoption. Our fee for adopting a kitten six months and younger is $115, for cats over 6 months the adoption fee is $90, and the fee for senior cats, 8 years and older, is $50. Our normal fee for adopting a dog/puppy is $200. This fee helps offset expenses incurred, since all of G.R.A.S.P.'s animals are examined by a local vet, receive all age-appropriate vaccinations and are spayed/neutered.
Volunteering and Donations
Volunteers are always needed to help with adoption days, dog walking, and fund raising events. You do not need to be a Greece resident to volunteer. Of course, our goal is to have a shelter, but until that happens, we need canned and dry cat food, cat litter, cat condos, carriers, dog collars, blankets, leashes, stamps, a digital camera and a copier. We are also desperate for foster homes to help with our kittens and dogs.
Without the support of the public and generous donors like you, we could not continue to give homeless pets another chance at a permanent home. Since there are always homeless animals in need, the funds are always tight. At a minimum, our vet bills run into the hundreds of dollars each month. Won't you take a moment now and
send what you can spare? Your donation today will save a life tomorrow.
Please send donations to G.R.A.S.P., PO Box 26741, Rochester, NY 14626 or you can go to our website and use one of the PayPal buttons on the About Us page. Thank You.
