Opal's Story

This pretty little kitty is Opal and she'll be ready to go to her forever home in early November once she heals up from being spayed. She is 6 months old and is a tiny little girl. Despite that, she's very social and sweet and will make a great addition to her new family. <br/><br/>Opal plays hard and often but is also great at her daily cat naps. She is most active first thing in the morning and loves doing zoomies. She enjoys playing with toys on a stick as well as lasers and doing wild leaps in the air. She would really like a home with someone who has time to play with her and keep her mentally stimulated. <br/><br/>Opal's favourite lounging positions are on her cat perch or cat bed by a window so that she can watch hummingbirds, people, dogs, and cars go by on the street. She likes to know what's going on around her so prefers to have a good view! She would love a home with a catio that she can go out into and watch the comings and goings of the neighbourhood. <br/><br/>Miss Opal is very social and is not afraid to meet new people. She follows her foster mom from room to room so that she can stay near her. She really enjoys hanging out with her people and would prefer that her human be home for much of the day so that she's not alone. Opal is comfortable with being picked up and carried. <br/><br/>Although we haven't seen Opal around children, we think it would be best if she were in a home with older kids. She's a youngster so uses her mouth during play sometimes and may not be a good fit for young kids because of this. Older kids or teens that handle her gently would likely be fine. We have not seen Opal around dogs or other cats but she's perfectly happy being the only pet in the home, so a family where she can be the center of attention would be great for her. <br/><br/>If you'd like to inquire about adopting Opal, please visit https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/ to learn about the adoption process and for a copy of our online 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
