Polly's Story

Part little panther, part cuddlebug, all quiet charm.<br/><br/>Meet Polly: a stunning young tabby girl with beautiful golden eyes, striking tiger-striped markings, and the sweetest curious face. At 1 years old, Polly is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place, so she may be a little shy when first meeting new peoplebut it doesnt take much to win her heart. A few treats, some gentle pets, and a little patience are usually all it takes before Polly starts leaning in for affection and showing off her soft, loving personality.<br/><br/>Once she feels comfortable, Polly blossoms into a sweet and affectionate companion who enjoys being close to both her humans and her animal friends. She loves curling up beside her people at night and happily naps alongside her cat companions during the day. Theres something especially rewarding about watching Polly come out of her shellher trust feels earned in the most beautiful way.<br/><br/>Personality: Gentle, observant, affectionate, and quietly playful. Polly has a calm, thoughtful nature and tends to watch everything around her before joining in. Once she settles in, she becomes incredibly loving and enjoys companionship, cozy routines, and quiet affection.<br/><br/>Favorites: Snacks (especially the kind used for bribery), sunny nap spots, bedtime cuddles, lounging beside her cat friends, soft blankets, and gentle chin scratches. Polly also enjoys climbing up beside her humans just to quietly keep them company.<br/><br/>Home vibe: Indoor-only; would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. She would do wonderfully in a calmer environment with kind humans who understand that shy cats often become the most devoted companions.<br/><br/>Other pets: Great with other cats and enjoys feline companionship. She is also okay with respectful dogs. Polly takes comfort in having animal friends nearby and loves sleeping close to both her people and fellow pets.<br/><br/>Litter habits: Excellent.<br/><br/>Health: Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on preventatives.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a beautiful young cat with a gentle soul, quiet affection, and the kind of bond that grows stronger every day, Polly may be waiting just for you

Florida Cat and Dog Project, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
1. Apply (5-10 minutes). Submit the online application with basic household info, pet history, and your vet/landlord contacts. 2. Conversation & Matchmaking (24-72 hrs). An adoption counselor reviews your application and schedules a quick call. We discuss lifestyle, routines, and what you’re hoping for so we can recommend the best fit (energy, training needs, medical considerations). 3. erification. 4. Vet check: current pets are up to date on vaccines/preventives and spayed/neutered (case-by-case medical exceptions). 5. Housing check: confirmation of pet/breed/weight policies and deposits if renting or HOA-regulated. 6. Meet & Greet. 7. Dogs: neutral-site or foster-home intro; bring resident dogs if applicable. 8. Cats: meet in the foster room; we’ll talk through multi-cat introductions and decompression. If everyone’s comfortable, we can move to a same-day or scheduled placement. 9. Home Review (virtual or in-person). A quick walkthrough (video is fine) to confirm basics: safe exits, litter/feeding areas, yard or leash plan, and where the pet will sleep/decompress. 10. Foster-to-Adopt (optional for puppies/kittens/medical). Short trial (typically 3–7 days; longer for medical cases) so the pet and household can settle. We provide supplies/meds as needed; your counselor stays in touch. 11. Finalize. Adoption contract, medical disclosure (all known history, vaccines/tests, meds, behavior notes), and the adoption fee (helps cover vetting). We register the microchip to you and email the full medical record and next-due dates. 12. Aftercare. We check in at 48 hours, 2 weeks, and 30 days. Behavior and medical support are available; if a mismatch occurs, we honor a return-to-rescue policy, no judgment, we’ll regroup and rematch. What we look for: safe, stable housing; a realistic plan for time, training, and vet care; and a good fit between the pet’s needs and your lifestyle. There’s no “perfect home”, just a committed one with the right support. Out of area? Case-by-case if we can complete counseling, a reliable home check, and arrange safe transport.
