Paddy's Story

Paddy is a Domestic Long Hair (DLH), male, DOB: 2/25/19.<br/><br/>As gentle as they come and a sensitive guy, Paddy can be a just a little hesitant when presented with unfamiliar situations (like most cats) but his friendly, inquisitive nature makes it impossible for him to play coy for long. Once confident and knowing all is well – he warms up quickly. Definitely liking attention, he will readily approach people to give and receive affection; and with a few soft-spoken words of encouragement he will become quite engaging. Paddy also really enjoys having his coat brushed, and he loses all inhibition when the petting begins, especially belly rubs. <br/><br/>An extremely sweet-natured, mostly easy-going, always endearing and entirely easy-to-please cat – he is also a committed snuggler who is social, warm-hearted, and enthusiastically affectionate with people he knows and trusts. Given some time to gain his bearings and a bit of respect for any initial reservations with new people and surroundings, this little doll eagerly accepts and gives affection, enjoying snuggling and close contact, and showing he chooses loving attention and interaction with his people over just about any other activity. He's shown a love of play as well, with his favorite people and toys. <br/><br/>Paddy is best suited as an indoor pet and companion for a home with a calm, low-active lifestyle; without active, young children under the age of six (6); and without active or unruly pets already in the household. That being said, we think Paddy could and will do well in a home with calm, cat-friendly dogs and possibly other compatible cats (we know he previously lived in a colony with other cats), so long as he is given the time he will need to adjust to his new environment and allowed to establish trust-bonds along with reasonable boundaries with other housemate pets. As with all Monroe SPCA adoptable animals, a home visit and a meet-n-greet with any housemate pets will be required prior to adoption.<br/><br/>Paddy came to Monroe SPCA as a rescue from Monroe County Animal Control, along with his colony mates: Jade, Jett, Skye, and more. Before they were live-trapped, the colony was not being cared for and in the middle of winter they had no way to keep warm - some were found frozen to death on the property. Paddy, along with all the other cats rescued were treated for URIs, malnutrition, ear mites, Giardia, Coccidia, fleas, and Tape and Roundworm while with us. They also all received and are still receiving daily socialization with our volunteers.<br/><br/>Now a healthy, happy, confident cat, Paddy is looking for a forever family who will welcome and embrace him as a life-long, beloved companion and family member, and always appreciate him as the entirely sincere and earnest, sweet natured, handsome feline he is.<br/><br/>Paddy currently resides at Monroe SPCA’s Adoption Center and Retail Store. You can meet him by appointment with pre-approved adoption application. To start the adoption process, complete and submit Monroe SPCA’s adoption application linked above. <br/><br/>All Monroe SPCA cats available for adoption have an adoption fee of $85.00. This fee includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed, tested for FeLV and FIV, and microchipped with lifelong registration prior to adoption.<br/><br/>Completed applications can be emailed to info@monroespca.org or dropped off at Monroe SPCA’s Adoption Center and Retail Store located at 293 W. Monroe Street, Dundee, MI. <br/><br/>For more information message us on Facebook or email info@monroespca.org.

Monroe SPCA's Adoption Policy
If you wish to meet one of our adoptable animals in person, you will need to complete our adoption application first. After we review and approve your application, we will contact you to schedule a meeting. You can also meet many of our adoptable animals at adoption and special events or at area host sites. Adoption Policies: In order to adopt an animal from Monroe SPCA you must be 21 years of age and be able to show proof of residence. Please Note: If you rent or reside in a condominium or mobile home park, of if you belong to a homeowners’ association, you will need to provide written proof from your landlord, park manager, or association that you are permitted to own/have the pet you wish to adopt on the premises. A Monroe SPCA representative will call your landlord to verify any pet restrictions. Animals cannot be adopted as gifts for someone outside your residence. Animals presently owned by you must have a documented veterinary care history. This includes being up-to-date with necessary vaccines, heartworm testing and prevention for your dog(s), and being up-to-date with necessary vaccines for your cat(s). Adoption applicants must provide at least 2 character references that do not reside in the same household. Only one reference may be related to the applicant. Monroe SPCA will NOT adopt an animal in any of the following cases: A home with other dogs and/or cats that have not been spayed/neutered, A home located where ownership of the animal is banned, prohibited, and/or restricted (we recommend you research your city's animal-related ordinances prior to filling out an application), A home in which the dog's primary caregiver(s) is under the age(s) of 21, A home in which a resident has been convicted of cruelty, neglect, or dog fighting. Monroe SPCA reserves the right to refuse adoptions to anyone. Animals have individual needs and we try to place them accordingly. We operate on a “best placement” principle, meaning it is our goal to place each animal in an environment most suitable for his or her individual needs, as well as considering the adopting family’s expectations, needs, and current living conditions. After meeting with you and your family, we may suggest that an animal of different age, sex, size, energy-level, or temperament would be better suited to your household. For example, to reduce the likelihood of conflict, we might recommend an opposite-sex housemate dog as more suitable for households that already have a dog. Similarly, to increase the likelihood of positive interactions between the new pet and all household members in multiple pet households or households with young children, we may recommend a housemate dog or cat with a different energy-level, personality, or temperament. In any case, we do not want to have household family members disappointed or overwhelmed by a new pet; and equally, we do not want the new pet to undergo what can be a stressful transition, only to have the pet be unwanted or returned to us. Therefore, we conduct a very thorough and selective adoption screening. Our adoption process generally takes ten days to two weeks from the time we receive your application until you take your new pet home. Please be patient with us during this process and understand that we strive with every adoption to facilitate a good match between household family members and their new housemate family pet. Completing an adoption application does not guarantee you will be approved. No animals will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on the adoption application. Foster-to-Adopt: In select instances, you will have the option to temporarily foster an animal before completing the adoption. This requires completing the adoption application and making a refundable deposit equal to the adoption fee of the animal you are interested in. You must finalize the adoption or return the animal to us at the end of your specified foster period.
