Hope's Story

Meet Hope - The Sweetest Little Sidekick With a Big Heart! Hope truly lives up to her name. Found as a nearly blind tiny kitten on a farm, she was rescued by a kind person and has been thriving ever since under loving care. Now about 1.5 years old, this brown tabby beauty is finally ready for her forever home! Personality & Daily Life Hope may have limited vision, but she makes up for it with sharp hearing, confidence, and the energy of a kitten! Her pointy ears are always on alert, and she navigates her world with grace, curiosity, and a healthy dose of comedy. She's especially bonded to "her person" and is known to perch on shoulders like a queen surveying her kingdom. When the door opens, she's right there (so open slowly!) and then leaps onto feet in greeting - it's hilarious and adorable. This girl loves: Fetching toys (on her terms, of course) Rolling over for belly rubs (and demanding more with her paw) Lap time - but only with her royal consent Being around other animals - she LOVES animal friends! House Manners & Care Hope has impeccable litter box habits, eats well, and has refined taste (her favorite wet food is shredded chicken from Fussie Cat - clearly, a lady of luxury). She prefers dry food but enjoys wet food as a treat. Health & Vetting Hope is: Spayed FIV positive In perfect health Up-to-date on all vetting About 1.5 years old Her FIV status is truly no big deal - especially for a cat like Hope who thrives around other animals. FIV cats can live long, healthy lives and can live safely with other friendly cats, as long as everyone gets along. (Hope is an absolute unicorn in that department - she adores other animals!) Ideal Home Hope would do best in a home with other cat-friendly animals to keep her company. She blossoms around furry friends and enjoys being part of a little social world. If you're looking for a sweet, funny, affectionate, shoulder-perching princess who brings joy everywhere she goes, Hope might just be your perfect match.

Frederick Friends of Our County Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy

Our adoption process for FFOCAS and Barn Cat Buddies cats and kittens consists of the following steps: 1. Applicant requests application (from ffocas4pets@gmail.com). 2. Our volunteers process the application. Our screening process includes calling your personal reference, your current vet (if any), and your landlord (for renters) as well as a search on a publicly accessible database of criminal court cases to ensure an absence of animal cruelty or violent crimes. 3. Conversation/interview. This is a chance for both parties (rescue volunteer and applicant) to ask questions and discuss any concerns. 4. Virtual home visit. We may conduct this via zoom simultaneously with the interview/conversation, but if this is not feasible, we will figure out something that works for the applicant. The home visit is meant to help us point out any potential safety issues and to make suggestions to help the pet adjust to the new home. 5. The applicant may request a virtual meet n greet with the pet(s) of interest and we will do our best to accommodate. In some cases, cats/kittens may be brought to an in-person adoption event to meet potential adopters, though we caution adopters that most cats and kittens do not show their true personalities at such events. 6. Once the application is approved and we and the applicant agree on a cat(s) or kitten(s) that are likely to be a good fit for the adopter, we will arrange for delivery of the pet(s) to the adopter or the adopter may pick up their new pet(s) at an adoption event. 7. We do not require updates but we LOVE to get them; please send us pictures and updates. Often. :-) 8. If at any time, an adopter determines that they cannot keep the animal, we ask that they contact us (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) so that we may take the animal back or help to safely rehome the animal. Project Hope animals (designated by "Courtesy Post" on their listings) do not belong to FFOCAS or Barn Cat Buddies; they are still in the custody and care of the owners wishing to rehome them. For these pets, the process starts with an application but the remaining steps may vary according to the wishes of the rehoming owner. We facilitate, advise, conduct our criminal background check, and we do our best to help answer adopters' questions, but we do not dictate to the animal's current owner which steps they should follow or which applicant they should choose.
