Chewie's Story

This sweet little bundle of fun is Chewie. He's a well-rounded kitten who is looking for a home with other cats that will keep him mentally stimulated. Chewie was found hiding under a wood pile when he was only 4-5 weeks old. Right from the start, Chewie has been a playful, curious, and sweet little guy. He is great at playing by himself to keep busy, but he also really loves to wrestle with the other kitties in his foster home. His play style can be a little bit rough, so a rough and tumble boy that can keep up with Chewie without hurting him, would be ideal. For some reason, Chewie seems more comfortable with male cats, but he might do well with a female cat that has a very motherly instinct. It can take him a little bit of time to get used to a new cat, so one that is patient with him is ideal. Since Chewie was a single kitten, he didn't learn bite inhibition when he was very young so he uses his mouth a lot. He likes to chew on toys, but also on fingers and toes. It's important that Chewie's new family appropriately kitten-proofs the home, and can work toward making sure he knows which substrates are Ok to put in his mouth and which are not. Since he can be mouthy, Chewie wont be the right fit for a home with children. Thus far, he has zero experience with dogs. When Chewie is done playing, he is snuggly. He has a great purr and will share it with you while he perches on your shoulder or curls up in your lap. He is food motivated, and loves treats, but isn't pushy about it. He will come running if he hears the treat bag or a can being opened.

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
