Gimpy Domestic Short Hair Holly, MI

Meet Gimpy! She came to us from an overcrowded shelter with a broken leg and hip, parasites and a horrible upper respiratory infection that has been chronic. The shelter she was at didn’t have the funding for her care. If we hadn’t taken her, she would have been euthanized.

She would come through a wall to get food! She is so food motivated she can she annoying. She is a sweet girl but can be even sassy when meeting new people. Her foster says when she gets close she brings a whole new meaning to cuddling. No personal boundaries. She does fine with other cats and dogs but likes her space from them. We do not think she will be a fan of small children or anything unpredictable.

She is lazy otherwise! Will occasionally play. Her foster does wild life and occasionally you will find her cuddling outside her species.

Her approximate due date is 10/18/22.

She has had all age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed with a general dewormer a few times, spayed or neutered, microchipped, flea/tick/heartworm prevention monthly 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 he is positive for any parasites we will get you the dewormer recommended by your vet at no cost.

Adoption Fee $125. 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. Even if they are not showing any signs of upper respiratory, 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 her 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.
