Pikachu -- Courtesy Post's Story

Meet Pikachu! This big handsome orange hunk is just the right mix of affectionate and independent. He is a love bug who enjoys being petted and brushed, likes to have a cat tree to climb, and may even find his way onto your lap. :-) In his previous home, Pikachu lived with another cat -- a younger female to whom he was very attached -- and a dog. <br/><br/>This sweet boy is initially afraid of unfamiliar (or less familiar) people. HIs previous family says that he hides when visitors come over. Give him a little time though, and he will come out and rub against their legs. <br/><br/>Pikachu's kryptonite is young children. He has been known to get a little "swatty" with them. This is not uncommon as kids can be "a bit much" for many pets. So PIkachu can only go to a home without kids younger than teens.<br/><br/>When Pikachu's loving human "mom" passed away, he found himself at Frederick County Animal Control. In a cage at the busy animal shelter, Pikachu doesn't "show well" because he is afraid of all the unfamiliar humans around him and can't hide as well as he would like to. Once someone takes the time to sit with him and gain his trust, he shows his loving nature.<br/><br/>Pikachu is about 8 years old and is a big guy at around 14 lbs. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. PIkachu appears to be healthy. He had a dental procedure recently with bad teeth extracted. A heart murmur was detected, but follow-up diagnostics (chest X-rays and proBnP) were normal. Pikachu has always had good litter box habits.<br/><br/>He is available for adoption from Frederick County Animal Control. If interested, please reach out to FCAC directly (bodin@frederickcountymd.gov) to find out more about Pikachu. We are FCAC's "friends" group and are helping to promote him. You are welcome to contact us first to see if you might be a fit for this handsome guy (ffocas4pets@gmail.com).

Frederick Friends of Our County Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
Our adoption process for FFOCAS and Barn Cat Buddies cats and kittens consists of the following steps: 1. Applicant requests application (from ffocas4pets@gmail.com). 2. Our volunteers process the application. Our screening process includes calling your personal reference, your current vet (if any), and your landlord (for renters) as well as a search on a publicly accessible database of criminal court cases to ensure an absence of animal cruelty or violent crimes. 3. Conversation/interview. This is a chance for both parties (rescue volunteer and applicant) to ask questions and discuss any concerns. 4. Virtual home visit. We may conduct this via zoom simultaneously with the interview/conversation, but if this is not feasible, we will figure out something that works for the applicant. The home visit is meant to help us point out any potential safety issues and to make suggestions to help the pet adjust to the new home. 5. The applicant may request a virtual meet n greet with the pet(s) of interest and we will do our best to accommodate. In some cases, cats/kittens may be brought to an in-person adoption event to meet potential adopters, though we caution adopters that most cats and kittens do not show their true personalities at such events. 6. Once the application is approved and we and the applicant agree on a cat(s) or kitten(s) that are likely to be a good fit for the adopter, we will arrange for delivery of the pet(s) to the adopter or the adopter may pick up their new pet(s) at an adoption event. 7. We do not require updates but we LOVE to get them; please send us pictures and updates. Often. :-) 8. If at any time, an adopter determines that they cannot keep the animal, we ask that they contact us (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) so that we may take the animal back or help to safely rehome the animal. Project Hope animals (designated by "Courtesy Post" on their listings) do not belong to FFOCAS or Barn Cat Buddies; they are still in the custody and care of the owners wishing to rehome them. For these pets, the process starts with an application but the remaining steps may vary according to the wishes of the rehoming owner. We facilitate, advise, conduct our criminal background check, and we do our best to help answer adopters' questions, but we do not dictate to the animal's current owner which steps they should follow or which applicant they should choose.
