Preta's Story

Preta came in with a broken leg, the ball at the top of the leg had broken off the leg bone. We had our vet repair it, but she needs to remain an indoor kitty. She appears to have no issues walking, but cannot run well, so she needs to be kept where she can be safe.<br/><br/>She is sweet, but scared of new people. But once she feels comfortable with you, she is a nice but independent kitty. She doesn't need a lot of affection, just an occasional scratch. She is fine being left alone for long periods. She is not talkative, and never bothers anyone. Very dignified.

Animal Preservation of East Texas (APET)'s Adoption Policy

We have potential adopters apply for the animal they are wishing to adopt. We try to have an indepth conversation about what kind of pet they are seeking, which ones would be the best fit for them, and do they have the necessary home environment for the animal they wish to adopt. If we feel they meet the criteria for the home, we then ask to be allowed to contact their vet to make sure any other animals on the home are spayed/nuetered and up to date on vaccines. If we have any doubts at all, we schedule a home visit. We go out to the adopter's home and check their fence, their home, and any other animals they own. All of their own animals must be spayed and neutered and up to date on vaccines or they are not allowed to adopt any of ours. If everything passes inspection, they adoption is allowed to proceed and they return to the shelter to pick up the animal. Most times however, just having a conversation is sufficient. We make a copy of their ID, we have them fill out the application, we go over the most important parts of the application that we feel they need to pay attention to, and we allow the adoption to proceed.
