Hooper's Story

Hooper was spotted in a neighborhood with a severe wound on his back, which we believe is either a burn or the result of an attack of some kind. He was missing most of the skin and fur covering his entire back. His neighborhood came to his rescue, trapped him and got him to a vet. They raised the funds he needed to survive and thrive. He did well in Foster for over a year while he endured weekly trips to the vet for bandage changes and staples.<br/><br/>He started out feral and scared, but now he is a relatively confident guy who loves to talk and eat. He loves attention once he gets to know you. You wouldn’t believe the transformation he went through to get where he is now! Hooper deserves the best future he can possibly have after all the pain and suffering he went through! He is now ready for that future to begin.

Spay and Stay's Adoption Policy
If you think you might be interested in one of our cats please fill out our adoption application at https://www.spayandstay.org/cat-adoption/.  We will then work with you to ensure a good match and can arrange a meeting with the kitty or kitties you are most interested in.  We require a small donation as an adoption fee that varies depending on the age of the cat or kitten and offer a "bulk discount" for adopters willing to take on more than one kitty. Adult cats over 1 year- $100, Kittens 6 months - 1 year- $125; $225 for a pair. Kittens under 6 months- $150; $275 for 2, or $400 for 3 kittens. The adoption fee in each case includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Because pet adoption is not our primary mission we have no central animal shelter and rely solely on a network of volunteer foster homes to house and socialize our adoptable cats.  While we don't have one convenient location to come and meet all of our available cats at once our individual foster parents get to work very closely with each kitty and can speak to what they are like in a home environment. We always take our kitties back if things aren't working out after a little time so we're passionate about helping you find the right match.
