Maurice's Story

Maurice knows a thing or two about the "pompitous of love" like the song says...he was in a good home and his owner died suddenly, and now he is bereft of the love of his life. Would you like to step up and own this kitty. He is affectionate when he wants to be, but can sometimes be a bit hissy. That may just be the shelter...shelter life is stressful for all animals. But he does let us pet him and he rubs up on us, giving us lots of affection...on his terms, lol.<br/><br/>No other cats or dogs or little kids. He needs a quiet home where he can just be himself.

Animal Preservation of East Texas (APET)'s Adoption Policy
We have potential adopters apply for the animal they are wishing to adopt. We try to have an indepth conversation about what kind of pet they are seeking, which ones would be the best fit for them, and do they have the necessary home environment for the animal they wish to adopt. If we feel they meet the criteria for the home, we then ask to be allowed to contact their vet to make sure any other animals on the home are spayed/nuetered and up to date on vaccines. If we have any doubts at all, we schedule a home visit. We go out to the adopter's home and check their fence, their home, and any other animals they own. All of their own animals must be spayed and neutered and up to date on vaccines or they are not allowed to adopt any of ours. If everything passes inspection, they adoption is allowed to proceed and they return to the shelter to pick up the animal. Most times however, just having a conversation is sufficient. We make a copy of their ID, we have them fill out the application, we go over the most important parts of the application that we feel they need to pay attention to, and we allow the adoption to proceed.
