River's Story

River – Shy Guy, Big Potential <br/><br/>River's life started out rough — he was abandoned at a cat colony, left to fend for himself. Thankfully, we brought him into rescue, got him neutered, vaccinated, and gave him a safe place to land. River is still shy, but he's so close to taking that first step toward trusting people. He'll sit nearby and watch you intently, sometimes just a whisker's length away. With a patient and loving adopter, we believe he'll blossom into a sweet, affectionate companion in his own time.<br/><br/>If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to let River set the pace, you could be the one to show him that people can be kind. His transformation will be worth every moment. His adoption fee has been reduced in the hopes of finding her forever home.<br/><br/>We received a grant from PetFinder Foundation to help find his forever home! His adoption fee has been reduced by $100 (adoption fee will be $50).<br/><br/>Cats are negative for FelV/FIV, receive age-appropriate vaccines and deworming, are spayed/neutered and are microchipped (free lifetime registration with adoption).<br/><br/>All of our pets go home with a "Go Home Goody Bag" that includes a starter supply of food, treats, toys, and a voucher for a free month of pet insurance from Trupanion.<br/><br/>Location: Bolton, CT<br/>Adoption Fee: $150

Paws 4 Life Animal Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS Our goal is to match the right pet with the right adopter. This means we approach each adoption opportunity in a unique way. One of our adoption specialists will meet (in person, or by phone) with you to learn about your "ideal pet." We take into consideration lifestyle, family dynamic, desired personality traits and an adopter's overall objective in bringing a new pet into their home and make recommendations on which of our pets may be a good fit. ADOPTION SUPPORT We understand that bringing a new pet into your home can be a little stressful. It can take time for a new animal to settle in, and you may have questions about behavior or routine. When we adopt out a pet to a new home, we are available to answer any questions that come up - and to support the new adopter with any special needs they may have related to in-home adjustment. Because our pets are fostered in private homes, we can let you know what's normal, what's not and how to address any initial challenges you may have. FEES Adoption fees vary by animal, and take into consideration age, breed and other characteristics. We strive to keep adoption fees reasonable and many of our animals receive veterinary care at costs that far exceed the adoption fee. Adoption fees are listed on each animal's description. WHAT'S INCLUDED All of our adoptable animals receive age-appropriate vaccines, are spayed/neutered (at age-appropriate time), have a microchip and are tested for species-specific diseases. They also go home with a certificate for one month of FREE pet insurance through Trupanion.
