Flow The Vineyard Guardian's Story

Save a Life, Gain a Guardian :)<br/><br/>Flow is a resilient two-year-old black cat with a story that will stay with you. He was rescued from a semi-urban neighborhood where coyotes and heavy traffic were claiming the lives of cats almost weekly. We brought him in to save his life, got him fully vetted with the help of Community Concern for Cats in Clayton, and knew he deserved a safe future.<br/><br/>We believed we’d found that future when a family adopted him. Unfortunately, they wanted an instant lap cat. Instead of giving Flow the time he needed, they kept him confined in a basement for six months and then abandoned him when they moved. With the help of neighbors, we re-rescued him and brought him back to safety. This is Flow’s third intake overall, and we are committed to making sure his next home is truly his forever home.<br/><br/>Why Flow is Perfect for Your Vineyard:<br/>* Independent, observant, and calm<br/>* Naturally attentive on patrol — a true asset for rodent control<br/>* Low-maintenance, gentle coexistence rather than high-demand affection<br/>* Adds charm and character to any vineyard<br/><br/>What We Need for Flow’s Success:<br/>* We need to ensure Flow has a proper intake process. We’ll go through a simple checklist with you to help him understand that this is his new home. By following a few key steps in the first few weeks, we’ll increase the likelihood that Flow will settle in comfortably and stay for good.<br/><br/>Our Rescue’s Commitment:<br/>* We’re not just placing Flow and walking away. We provide:<br/>* Follow-up support and guidance<br/>* A month of food, bedding, and familiar supplies with Flow’s scent to ease his transition<br/>* Close support during the first 4 to 6 weeks to make sure his intake is successful<br/><br/>Flow is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to become the guardian of your vineyard.<br/><br/>__________________<br/><br/>Learn More About Vineyard Cats<br/><br/>Many vineyards around the world rely on cats like Flow for sustainability, pest control, and tradition.

Pooka's Purrhouse Cat Rescue's Adoption Policy
At Pooka’s Purrhouse Rescue, our top priority is the long-term well-being and safety of every cat we place. Because many of our rescues come from high-risk environments, we are committed to ensuring each adoption is a thoughtful, permanent match. We follow a careful screening process that includes: A detailed application A conversation (via phone or in-person) to learn about the adopter’s home, lifestyle, and experience with animals Verification of pet-friendly housing (if applicable) A meet-and-greet with the cat A home visit or virtual tour, depending on location All of our cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and medically assessed prior to adoption. We also provide guidance for integrating shy or formerly feral cats into a home environment. We reserve the right to deny any adoption we feel is not in the best interest of the animal. Our goal is not simply to place cats quickly, but to find the right home — a safe, loving, and stable environment where each cat can thrive.
