Ash's Story

If you are looking for a snuggle bug, Ash might be the right guy for you. He is a young (1 year old) boy who can't get enough attention. He enjoys cuddle sessions and will purr non-stop. <br/><br/>Ash was abandoned on a property by whomever used to care for him and he found the change quite scary. Fortunately, there were a few other cats abandoned at the same time, so Ash had some friends to lean on and find strength in. When he was first rescued, this poor guy was quite scared and struggled with the change, but he quickly discovered that not all people are bad and he has really started to come out of his shell. <br/><br/>Once Ash gets to know you, he's really sweet. He can't get enough attention and cuddles! Ash absolutely loves to curl up in the lap of his favourite people and get chin rubs. He drools non-stop when he's happy, so it's easy to tell when he's comfortable. In fact, he drools so much that his new owner will need to be content with wet pet sessions. By the time Ash is done getting love, his whole head is usually soaked from his own drool. <br/><br/>Due to the fact that Ash was dumped outside by his previous owner, he seems to have some separation anxiety. He does not do well when alone or confined and he'll cry. When Ash is around other cats he seems comfortable and his anxiety dissipates. Therefore, it will be important for him to go to a home where there are other cats that will want to be his friends. He's a bit submissive, so another friendly cat will be a better fit than a dominant one. <br/><br/>We have not seen Ash around dogs. He doesn't like fast movements or loud sounds, so he wont be happy in a home with a barky or hyper dog, but he may do ok in a home with an older, quiet dog that gives Ash his space. He will not do well in a home with young children, although older kids/teens with a quiet demeanor might be Ok. Whatever Ash's new family looks like, it will be important that there is either a human, or another cat around for a majority of the day to spend time with him. He will not do well in a home with someone who works full time. <br/><br/>If you'd like to adopt Ash, please visit https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/ for a copy of our adoption application.

Victoria Pet Adoption Society's Adoption Policy
Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment and a big responsibility. Dogs can live 15 years or more, and cats can live 20+ years. Like people, each individual pet comes with its own set of baggage, needs, and personality traits. Because your new pet will depend on you to provide its basic needs, we need to be sure that you are educated and up to the challenge. Our adoption process allows us to ask you some questions about your home environment, your lifestyle, and your needs, expectations, and limitations. We want to be sure that your new pet is going to be just as happy in its new home as you are to have it there. A Successful Adoption Process Includes the Following Steps: To start the adoption process, please complete the online adoption application found at https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/. If our adoption team feels as though your home will be a great fit for one of our pets they will contact you to set up a visit supervised by the foster parent who can answer some of the questions you may have about the animal of interest. You will not be able to take the pet home the day of the visit. One of our volunteers will contact you after the visit and will open a dialogue with you based on the information provided in your application. We will talk about your home and family, as well as your experience with pets. We will ask you to tell us about the kind of life and care you can offer to the adopted pet, and we will inform you about any health or behavioural issues that you should be aware of. (For dogs only) Once an adoption is pending, we will come visit your home to ensure that the environment is suitable for the pet in question, based on its needs. We can advise you of modifications that could make the adoption more successful, such as fencing and other things you may not have thought about. The adoption process generally takes several days, and this time line is intentional. It allows you time to think about your decision so that you can be sure that you are comfortable with the decision that you’ve made. Adoptions are never approved within 48 hours of the application being submitted. Once we have successfully journeyed through the steps above, you can pick up your new friend to begin a wonderful life together! Signing an adoption contract is a requirement for every pet that is adopted. Adoption Fees are as Follows: Kittens (up to 12 months of age) $400 Adult Cats (1 yr - 8yrs) $300 Senior Cats (9 yrs and older) $250 Special Needs Cats (other than kittens) $250 Puppies (up to 12 months of age) $600 Adult Dogs (1 yr - 8yrs) $400 Senior Dogs (9 yrs and older) $300 Special Needs dogs (other than puppies) $300 Rabbits $50 Guinea Pigs $30 Rats/hamsters $20 Mice $10 Adoption fees for other species may vary
