Malibu's Story

Malibu came from a very large colony of about 20 cats, most of them young. She was the matriarch and when we met her, she was nursing a few generations of cats. She is only 2-3 years old, but she looked so tired and defeated. The property owner informed us that she was constantly having litters.<br/><br/>She let us pet her at the location and when we brought her back to our office, we decided to give her an opportunity at having a better life indoors. So, after her spay, we gave her time to acclimate in a condo and after a few days she came out on her own and she immediately got along with all the other cats.<br/><br/>We noticed that Malibu has some hearing loss. But it does not seem to interfere with her daily life.<br/><br/>She is still shy and mildly unsocialized, but she is definitely coming around. She is part of the cat family at our office, and she seems very relaxed. She has gained a little weight, and her coat is clean and looks healthy.<br/><br/>She will need to go to a home with another cat as that is where she finds comfort and companionship. She grew up around cats, and she deserves to have feline friends.<br/><br/>Lately, or perhaps now that she is comfortable, she plays with the toys in the office all the time. We also see her grooming and cuddling with two younger cats that came from her colony. We believe she is their grandmother even though she is young (2-3 years old). She's had litter after litter, the poor girl.<br/><br/>If interested, please email Mirna at Mirnabowman.cdc@gmail.com<br/>614-471-9000<br/>Must be 24 or older.<br/>Adoptions to Central Ohio homes only. <br/>All dogs and cats in the home must be spayed/neutered.<br/>Adoption Fee $100.00.

How much is: annual exam, heartworm test & tablets, an x-ray, vaccines, a non-emergency office call? Do you recommend vaccines every year or every three years? (every 3 yrs as suggested by the AVMA) The pooch that visits your home will go back home with us to allow your family to discuss and ensure he/she is a good fit for your home. There is an adoption agreement and adoption fees are as follows: $300 for Adult Dogs (6yrs & younger) $200 for Senior Dogs (7 yrs and older) $80 for Cats All pets are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm tested (dogs), fiv/leukemia tested (cats), & micro-chipped.
