Chili Dog Domestic Short Hair Holly, MI

This little lady is Chili Dog, she is about 2 years old. She and her 3 siblings were found outside by a family. They were brought to us for spay/neuter and veterinary care. It was determined her siblings would be happiest living outside at the finders home. However, Chili Dog never recovered well enough from the upper respiratory issues for it to be healthy for her to live outside, it is chronic for her and flares up from time to time. We would love to find her a nice quiet home to enjoy and hopefully be healthy once she settles in. It is stress that causes the URI flare ups.

She may not ever be willing to snuggle or sit on your lap, but she still deserves a home of her own.
She never hides and neither did her siblings they just prefer their space. She is active and is playful. She is not the greatest groomer so if we can while she eats wet food we brush her for short periods of time.

She is good with all cats and more than likely would prefer a home with another cat for her play and cuddle with. She loves wet food and eats a ton for her slender body condition. She love tuna and we believe that is the way to her heart.

A note from our foster:
I naturally have the mean mug look! I am very scared and shy until I gain your trust. Once we get over that bridge, I love to be pet! I get along with cats and dogs, kids unknown.
I would love to find that forever home that will allow me to come around at my own pace! I promise you’ll get to see how sweet I am if you do. I love tuna fish, and will warm up faster if we can work together!

She has had all age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed, dewormed with a general dewormer a few times, microchipped and tested negative for FeLV virus.

We do recommend rechecking a fecal with in 48 hours after you take any cat home, Covered by us, if they are positive for any parasites we will get you the dewormer needed.

Adoption Fee- $65 total. We take check, card and cash.

You will get a copy of the Microchip form when you go home, we will register that for you. However we would like if in the first week you would check the account to make sure we did not make any errors. After that it will be your responsibility to keep its information up to date and accurate. It is lifelong enrollment you will never have to pay towards that again. The microchip sits in between the shoulder blades right under the skin. Your email will be the username, so you have to have one. Once you log on to PetLink.net you can change that password to whatever you would like.

You will get a copy of your adoption contract, signed by you and a Pawsitive Causes board member. This contract will go over that our cats have been seen by a veterinarian and have gotten vet care, their hearts have been listened to but we can not guarantee the health of any animal.

You will get a hand-out about Upper Respiratory Infection in cats, many animals in rescue and shelters have been previously exposed to these ailments. We know she has a history, and the change or stress of going home can bring things like that on. That’s why we send home the hand out, everyone gets it.

We will go over a checklist to make sure we did not miss anything. You will get a copy of that as well. I have asked the fosters to bring some food for you to take home to transition on to what you want them to eat. We have always offered wet and dry food.

She is using the litter boxes great. However, we recommend starting him out in a room with a litter box and open more and more of the house at a time. Do not move the litter box a lot! This also helps with introductions to other animals as well. You should always do slow introductions under a door with a few days of no sight. Once all the animals are calm and used to the new noises and smells you can start offering treats at the door to both animals. Then open the door and start letting them slowly mingle.

You will also receive a paper copy or email copy of all the medical records we have. We would love it if you continued your vet care with us at Pawsitive Care but we understand if you have a vet you love. We will try to make this as easy as possible.
