Pokey's Story

Pokey is a very handsome and sweet grey tabby male kitty, about 2 years old (born ~July 2022). He is initially shy, but will gradually build up a bond with his person and sit or lay next to them for cuddles. At meal time he will rub around your legs and meow to be noticed. He is playful, LOVES to be brushed and will let his foster pick him up for a brief time. Pokey would love to be adopted to a home with his brother, Owen or to a home with another playful cat buddy. Because he is shy, it would be best if he is adopted to a quiet home without young children.

Spay and Stay's Adoption Policy

If you think you might be interested in one of our cats please fill out our adoption application at https://www.spayandstay.org/cat-adoption/. We will then work with you to ensure a good match and can arrange a meeting with the kitty or kitties you are most interested in. We require a small donation as an adoption fee that varies depending on the age of the cat or kitten and offer a "bulk discount" for adopters willing to take on more than one kitty. Adult cats over 1 year- $80, Kittens 6 months - 1 year- $100; $175 for a pair. Kittens under 6 months- $125; $225 for 2, or $325 for 3 kittens. The adoption fee in each case includes the cat being spayed or neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Because pet adoption is not our primary mission we have no central animal shelter and rely solely on a network of volunteer foster homes to house and socialize our adoptable cats. While we don't have one convenient location to come and meet all of our available cats at once our individual foster parents get to work very closely with each kitty and can speak to what they are like in a home environment. We always take our kitties back if things aren't working out after a little time so we're passionate about helping you find the right match.
