Gumpy's Story

Meet Gumpy! He may never look happy but once he loves his person, he follows you around. He'll rub on your legs while you wash the dishes or just hang out with you. <br/><br/>At the moment, he is not a cuddler but we have good faith that he will be. He did not like pets at first either but he loves head rubs now and after his shave down he is learning to like butt scratches! <br/><br/>Gumpy is an adult neutered male, vaccinated and F/F negative. He was originally trapped as a TNR but when we tried to release him he didn't want to leave and we didn't REALLY want him to go either.<br/><br/>Probably best in a home without kids, as he can chomp if over stimulated. He does well with other cats. He is still learning to live with dogs but he is fostered with 3 dogs, currently he just makes himself big and scary.

Despurate House Cats's Adoption Policy
The application process for adopting from our cat rescue includes several important steps: Application Form on Website: You must fill out an application form available on the rescue's website. This form will ask for your personal details, your home environment, and other relevant information about your lifestyle and preferences to help match you with a suitable cat. Vet Reference: You are required to provide a reference from your veterinarian. This helps the rescue ensure you have a history of responsible pet ownership and good veterinary care for your previous or current pets. Landlord Reference (if leasing): If you rent your home, you will need to provide a reference from your landlord. This confirms that you have permission to have a cat in your rental property and ensures that the living conditions are suitable for adopting a pet. Home Visit: As part of the adoption process, a home visit will be conducted. A representative from the rescue will visit your home to ensure it’s a safe and appropriate environment for a cat. This visit will also include meeting your current pets to assess if they will get along with the new cat. The rescue wants to ensure that the new addition to your family will be compatible with your existing pets and that everyone will feel comfortable and safe. Once all these steps are completed and reviewed, the rescue will make a decision about your application.
