Mookie's Story

Meet Mookie. This poor guy had a very hard start to life. He is now doing really well and is ready to find his forever home. <br/><br/>Although the vet thinks Mookie is about 2 years old, he was small and looked like an older kitten when he was first rescued. Not only was Mookie missing hair in patches all over his body but he was also covered in wounds and old scars. He was ravenous for food, and at the time Mookie was rescued, he was also very dehydrated. Mookie seemed to be sensitive about his hips and back legs being handled, so the vet did some x-rays and to our great surprise we found that Mookie had a broken hip (most likely from being hit by a car). The head had fractured off his femur and there was a break in the socket of his hip as well. Fortunately, our wonderful vet was able to fix Mookie's broken bones and he's now ready to find his forever home. It’s hard to imagine what Mookie has been through in his short life, but we are grateful that we he’s now healthy and out of pain.<br/><br/>Mookie is a playful young cat who is always in really good spirits. He loves being able to run around and be goofy. He's a very quirky little guy who is always trying to pull off some sort of parkour stunt or somersault. Since he's a high energy cat, Mookie is looking for a home in a house or where he has some space to run. He wont be the right fit for a small apartment or suite. <br/><br/>Mookie is a very cuddly cat. He will cuddle for hours and give little kisses. He will sometimes use his teeth if he get overstimulated. He gets a little wild sometimes! Due to Mookie's habit of using his mouth and teeth when he's overstimulated, he will not be suitable for a home with children. He's also not the best kitty for someone who is a first-time cat owner. He's not a challenging cat to handle, but he will do best with someone who has experience with a variety of cat behaviours and body language. <br/><br/>Since Mookie has been isolated for medical reasons during his time with us, we do not know how he will be around other cats. However, while he was at the vet he did seem interested in the other cats that were there. However, if he goes to a home with other cats it could be tricky to balance his personality with another cat that wants to play with him but that wont get too crazy. Mookie is afraid of dogs so needs a home without dogs. He will be happy to be in a home as an only pet, as long as his family has the time to play with him and keep him entertained. He would love a home with a catio where he can get some fresh air but stay safe. <br/><br/>When he first came to us, Mookie was very under-weight and had obviously been without a regular source of food. Due to this, he is very food obsessed and will scarf any food that he can get his mouth on. Therefore, he will need regular feedings on a schedule and cannot be free-fed. He might do best with an automatic feeder. He is also the type of cat that will eat any human food that he can get access too. Therefore, his adopters will need to be conscious of not leaving food out on the counters or in places that might encourage him to go foraging. <br/><br/>If you'd like to learn more about Mookie, please visit https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/ for information about our adoption process and to find a copy of our adoption application.

Victoria Pet Adoption Society's Adoption Policy
Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment and a big responsibility. Dogs can live 15 years or more, and cats can live 20+ years. Like people, each individual pet comes with its own set of baggage, needs, and personality traits. Because your new pet will depend on you to provide its basic needs, we need to be sure that you are educated and up to the challenge. Our adoption process allows us to ask you some questions about your home environment, your lifestyle, and your needs, expectations, and limitations. We want to be sure that your new pet is going to be just as happy in its new home as you are to have it there. A Successful Adoption Process Includes the Following Steps: To start the adoption process, please complete the online adoption application found at https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/. If our adoption team feels as though your home will be a great fit for one of our pets they will contact you to set up a visit supervised by the foster parent who can answer some of the questions you may have about the animal of interest. You will not be able to take the pet home the day of the visit. One of our volunteers will contact you after the visit and will open a dialogue with you based on the information provided in your application. We will talk about your home and family, as well as your experience with pets. We will ask you to tell us about the kind of life and care you can offer to the adopted pet, and we will inform you about any health or behavioural issues that you should be aware of. (For dogs only) Once an adoption is pending, we will come visit your home to ensure that the environment is suitable for the pet in question, based on its needs. We can advise you of modifications that could make the adoption more successful, such as fencing and other things you may not have thought about. The adoption process generally takes several days, and this time line is intentional. It allows you time to think about your decision so that you can be sure that you are comfortable with the decision that you’ve made. Adoptions are never approved within 48 hours of the application being submitted. Once we have successfully journeyed through the steps above, you can pick up your new friend to begin a wonderful life together! Signing an adoption contract is a requirement for every pet that is adopted. Adoption Fees are as Follows: Kittens (up to 12 months of age) $400 Adult Cats (1 yr - 8yrs) $300 Senior Cats (9 yrs and older) $250 Special Needs Cats (other than kittens) $250 Puppies (up to 12 months of age) $600 Adult Dogs (1 yr - 8yrs) $400 Senior Dogs (9 yrs and older) $300 Special Needs dogs (other than puppies) $300 Rabbits $50 Guinea Pigs $30 Rats/hamsters $20 Mice $10 Adoption fees for other species may vary
