Imelda's Story

Almost 1,000 days ago a nice person found me and my 5 siblings living in his garage after our mom passed away after being hit by a car. He brought us to Noah so we didn't have the same fate as our mom. While we appreciated we weren't hungry and alone outside anymore, we HATED people and everything that came with them (except food...we loved the food!) It took all of us a long time to be touched without hissing, biting and scratching. We didn't have our mom to show us that people could be trusted so we did what we needed to do! Lets fast forward 997 days...I'm still here after my siblings all got adopted. Why am I still here? While I am good with people, I love to be pet and still love food (treats are amazing), I still don't have the confidence to come down out of the window to greet people. I have witnessed dozens of kitties who do it, I know that means that they found their furever homes, but I just can't. I know I'm not perfect, I can't promise that I ever will be. What I can promise is that I will love you and show you my love when I am able. Just like people, trauma sticks with some people longer than others, but with unconditional love and some time...anything is possible. Ooooppppssss....I forgot. My name is Imelda and I am a couple months away from 3 years old. I have lived with lots of different cats and never had a problem. I have no idea if I like dogs, I see them out my window each day, but I haven't been near one. You may find me on our website under "ADOPT

The Noah Project's Adoption Policy

Our adoption process follows a walk-in first-come, first-served policy with no appointment needed and a completed & approved adoption application. We encourage adopters to get to know dogs they are interested in outside of the kennel and choose dogs based on personality and being a good fit with their family and their lifestyle. Once you meet an animal you wish to adopt, we'll sit down for an informational consultation to ensure that you and the pet you've selected are a good match. During this process we'll also review the animal's medical and behavioral records, explain policies and services available to adopters, and help you choose the right pet supplies. Please complete an application only if you meet all the requirements for a specific pet or list the type of pet you are interested in. Applications can either be brought into Noah Project in person or emailed to info@noahprojectmuskegon.org. This form is quite detailed and will provide us with the information necessary to adopt. We will begin processing your application as soon as possible. Important steps in the process will include contacting your veterinarian, personal references, and landlords. Approved applications will be kept on file for up to 90 days.
