Basil (Barn Cat)'s Story

*Barn/colony/working cat*<br/>*Must be in a barn with other cats as she LOVES other cats*<br/><br/>Basil<br/>Female DSH Brown Tabby<br/>Estimated age: 3 years old<br/><br/>Basil came into rescue with a group of her descendants (her 3 younger kittens and 2 older kittens from last year). Basil had consistently stayed around her caretaker's house for the past few years, but the caretaker wanted to find a new placement for her. <br/><br/>All of the kittens are old enough to get adopted themselves so now we are trying to find placement for Basil who unfortunately just never warmed up after months in foster. Basil is ALWAYS attached at the hip with another cat and will walk in step with them. Having lived primarily outside, she was not socialized and would very much prefer to be a barn cat or under someone's care in a colony. We require that anyone adopting her have experience with proper barn cat care and will properly aclimate her to her new area with the recommended 2 week containment period. She is definitely a cat who doesn't mind people as long as they are 5 feet away and do not intend on bothering her!<br/><br/>Medical: All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies and distemper), microchipped, given flea/tick prevention and dewormer, FIV/FeLV tested, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption. She is also ear tipped.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via email at figandfriendspetrescue@gmail.com since the criteria for a barn/working cat home is different than what we ask on our traditional application.

Fig and Friends Pet Rescue's Adoption Policy
~We do not adopt to homes with animals who are not spayed or neutered unless there is a valid reason such as vet recommendation. ~We do check references including landlord if you rent and your vet both past and present. ~We do not adopt to homes that plan on declawing the cat we have adopted out to you or that plan on letting a cat outside (unless on a leash and harness under owner's continued observation). ~If we see something on your application that we are concerned about, we will always try and have a conversation with you to find out the why. We understand you might have declawed a cat in the past or had to rehome an animal. It can happen to anyone. We like to dig deeper and won't deny someone just based on surface information.
