Affectionately known as Gertie (or "Birdie," according to the resident toddler), she isn't quite a lap cat, but she loves pets on her own terms and has a wonderfully playful side.<br/><br/>Gertrude enjoys the company of the adult cats in her foster home and would greatly benefit from having a confident feline companion in her new home.<br/><br/>Gertie can live with children, but she would prefer a quieter home with older kids or adults, as the noise and activity of young children can sometimes feel overwhelming. She is currently living with large dogs and is a bit nervous around them, but she could do well with a calm, respectful dog who gives her space.<br/><br/>Gertie loves to play--teaser wands are her absolute favourite! When she's ready to relax, you'll often find her curled up on a cat tree by the window, basking in the sun or watching the squirrels outside.<br/><br/>At this time, it is believed that Gertrude will need ongoing monthly B-12 injections to help maintain her health.

Arthur Animal Rescue Co-operative's Adoption Policy
Thank you for considering adopting through Arthur Animal Rescue! We are a small rescue comprised of caring foster homes throughout Center and North Wellington (Arthur, Mount Forest, Fergus, Elora and surrounding areas). If you see a cat or kitten on our site and would like to learn more about any of them please feel free to send us a message. If you would like to meet any of our adoptable pets in person, submit an adoption application and we can arrange a time for you to meet which is convenient to you and the foster home. In the event that multiple applications are received for a cat or kitten in our rescue, we will review each one and make the best decision based on fit for both the cat or kitten, and their forever family. The adoption fee includes the cost of the spay or neuter surgery as well as first vaccinations. The cats and kittens are also dewormed and receive revolution treatment whenever necessary. We also provide info on preparing for a new feline family member to help with the transition to their new homes. And offer ongoing support or advice after the adoption has taken place! If you have questions at all please feel free to contact us!
