Porter's Story

Introducing Porter. This fuzzy guy is a sweet boy who loves attention. His fur is very smooth and silky, and he's quite chatty when he wants love and food. He has a fairly quiet personality so is looking for a home that matches his energy. <br/><br/>Porter observes first and thinks about things before making decisions. He can be a little bit shy when he meets new people but he warms up quickly and once he knows you he loves to give head butts. If you hover your hand right above his head, he jumps up and rub his head against your hand; it's the cutest thing! <br/><br/>He loves sleeping in sun-spots and lounging on the couch. He also likes playing with stringy toys when the mood strikes him. However, when he's done playing, Porter is ready to soak up all the love! Since Porter enjoys spending a lot of time with his people, he will be happiest with a home-body who is around a lot. Perhaps someone who works from home.<br/><br/>Porter has gotten along with other cats in the past but we found that he was quite sensitive about the way they treated him. He will likely be fine in a home with another quiet cat that gives him space, but he will be overwhelmed by a cat that wants to play or rough house. In his previous home, Porter was bullied by another, more dominant cat. <br/><br/>Porter has lived in a house with a dog before so he may be Ok to do so again. A quiet, older, laid-back dog will be more his style. He wont be happy in a home with a high-energy, pushy, or yappy dog. Since he has a soft personality and can be a little bit shy, Porter wont do well with a very busy household or with young children. He will be fine with teens. <br/><br/>This guy is not even 2 years old so have a lot of time and love to give to his new family. He is a wonderful cat who will be a great addition to his new home.

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
