Potter

Potter’s favourite toy is the felt string wand, and it can keep her, and you entertained endlessly. While playing with her, she’ll leap up to catch it and surprise you with her agile moves. She is very playful and gets the zoomies while playing with her springs and kicker toy.<br/><br/>Once she is comfortable, Potter will meow and request affection from you. Potter will immediately purr and make biscuits when you pet her and loves to have her butt scratched. While you are scratching or brushing her, she will inch around the ground ensuring you follow her around for pets. Her purrs are so unique you’ll just have to hear them for yourself.<br/><br/>Potter is a very smart and immediately knows what cat furniture is and what is human furniture. Potter loves high places and will jump to the very top of her cat tree to get the best view.<br/><br/>She is very timid around new people but will warm up once bribed with a (few) churu treats.<br/><br/>Potter enjoys the company of other felines, and would love to be adopted with one of her former foster siblings (Aries, Willow, Cashew) or would make the perfect addition to a multi-cat household. Patience and a gentle approach are all you need to unlock her loving side!<br/><br/>Potter is best suited to a home with a quiet and calm environment that is adult-only or with older children with previous cat experience.<br/><br/>Medical Considerations:<br/><br/>Potter is overweight and currently on a speciality diet (Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie) with portion control to manage their weight and support overall health.<br/><br/>Potter also has Feline Coronavirus (FCoV). FCov is a common virus in cats. Generally, it presents as an asymptomatic infection, but can cause upper respiratory issues, and diarrhea which Potter has experienced intermittently. There is no cure for FCoV, only supportive care can be provided to treat symptoms as they arise such as specialty diets, probiotic supplements and/or antibiotics.<br/><br/>FCoV itself does not cause serious illness but it can undergo a genetic mutation in some cats and become a very serious virus called Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). FIP results from the distinctive occurrence of a mutation of FCoV within a genetically susceptible cat with a particular immune response. This mutated virus is cell-associated and thus is not commonly transmitted directly from one cat to another. FIP generally develops within a few weeks to 18 months after infection with FCoV, often following a stressor.<br/><br/>Due to the contagious nature of FCoV Potter would likely transmit it to any cat she may share a home with. While cats can live long healthy lives with the virus and can go a long period of time being asymptomatic, sadly, there is no way of knowing whether or not it will mutate into FIP. A prospective adopter would need to be prepared for the potentially elevated cost of caring for a cat with such a virus as they may require more frequent veterinary visits and use of antibiotics and/or speciality diets to treat symptoms.<br/><br/>The Avery Foundation is a foster-based and volunteer-run rescue. Every TAF rescue cat is vet checked, vaccinated, treated for parasites, spay/neutered, microchipped and receive any necessary additional medical care.<br/><br/>Our adoption process involves an application, reference check, interview, and home visit prior to placement. From the time we receive your application through the screening process adoptions can take a couple weeks. We thank everyone who takes the time to apply but only those who best fit the cat’s requirements will be contacted.<br/><br/>If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at: https://www.theaveryfoundation.ca/adoption/adoption-application/cats/.
